Sommario/riassunto |
|
Besides covering topics like catalytic cracking, hydrocracking, and alkylation, this volume has chapters on waste water treatment and the economics of managing or commissioning the design of a petroleum refinery. Found only in this volume is material on operating a jointly owned and operated refinery. (Over the last decade, the ownership of many refineries has shifted to small companies, from the large, integrated companies. Because of this shift, many refineries are now jointly owned and operated.) Filled with handy process flow diagrams, this volume is the only reference that a chemical en |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
This book constitutes the proceedings of the the 11th Pacific Rim International Conference on Multi-Agents, PRIMA 2008, held in Hanoi, Vietnam, in December 2008. The 19 regular papers and 22 short papers presented together with 3 keynote speeches, were carefully reviewed and selected from 56 submissions. Many current subjects in multi-agent research and development are addressed, ranging from theoretical and methodological issues to various applications in different fields. There was a track on multi-issue negotiation and agents and HCI. |
