Nature Inspired Cooperative Strategies for Optimization (NICSO 2007)

Biological and natural processes have been a continuous source of inspiration for the sciences and engineering. For instance, the work of Wiener in cybernetics was influenced by feedback control processes observable in biological systems; McCulloch and Pitts description of the artificial neuron was instigated by biological observations of neural mechanisms; the idea of survival of the fittest inspired the field of evolutionary algorithms and similarly, artificial immune systems, ant colony optimisation, automated self-assembling programming, membrane computing, etc. also have their roots in natural phenomena. The second International Workshop on Nature Inspired Cooperative Strategies for Optimization (NICSO), was held in Acireale, Italy, during November 8-10, 2007. The aim for NICSO 2007 was to provide a forum were the latest ideas and state of the art research related to cooperative strategies for problem solving arising from Nature could be discussed. The contributions collected in this book were strictly peer reviewed by at least three members of the international programme committee, to whom we are indebted for their support and assistance. The topics covered by the contributions include several well established nature inspired techniques like Genetic Algorithms, Ant Colonies, Artificial Immune Systems, Evolutionary Robotics, Evolvable Systems, Membrane Computing, Quantum Computing, Software Self Assembly, Swarm Intelligence, etc.

A new Learning Sensitive Agent System (LSAS) is proposed to address
combinatorial optimization problems. Agents communicate by directly
exchanging information and knowledge about the environment. Furthermore,
agents of the proposed model are endowed with stigmergic behavior and are
able to indirectly communicate by producing and being influenced by pheromone
trails. Each stigmergic agent has a certain level of sensitivity to the pheromone
allowing various types of ...

Marketing Moves

A New Approach to Profits, Growth, and Renewal

The Internet, globalization, and hypercompetition are dramatically reshaping markets and changing the way business is done. The problem, says internationally renowned marketer Philip Kotler and his coauthors Dipak C. Jain and Suvit Maesincee, is that marketing has not kept pace with the markets. In today's world,customersare scarce-not products-and classic marketing needs to be deconstructed, redefined, and broadened to reflect this new reality. Marketing Movesdescribes the next transformational imperative for marketing-and for any organization competing in our customer-ruled, technology-driven marketplace. It calls for a fundamental rethinking of corporate strategy to enable the ongoing creation and delivery of superior value for customers in both the marketplace and the marketspace. And it appoints marketing as the lead driver in shaping and implementing this new strategy. The means for accomplishing this lies in a radically new marketing paradigm the authors callholistic marketing-a dynamic concept derived from the electronic connectivity and interactivity among companies, customers, and collaborators. This new paradigm combines the best of traditional marketing with new digital capabilities to build long-term, mutually satisfying relationships and co-prosperity among all key stakeholders. Outlining a framework for implementing holistic marketing that calls for integrating customer demand management, internal and external resource allocation, and network collaboration-the authors show how holistic marketing can enable companies to: - Identify new value opportunities for renewing their markets - Efficiently create the most promising new value offerings - Deliver products, services, and experiences that more precisely match individual customer requirements - Consistently operate at the highest level of product quality, service, and speed Thought-provoking and practical,Marketing Movesshows how to build a complete marketing platform primed for the challenges and opportunities of a customer-centric world.
