Sommario/riassunto

Combining current trends, academic theories, and historical insights, this travel guide brings both lesser-known and famous European spiritual locales into perspective by explaining the significance of each sacred site. The cultural relevance, history, and spirituality of each site?including Stonehenge, the Acropolis, Mont Saint Michel, Pompeii, and Saint Peter's Basilica?are explained, creating a moving and artistic travel experience. Each destination?with selections spanning more than 15 countries throughout Europe?is accompanied by easy-to-follow maps and directions.

Sommario/riassunto

This book originates from the IJCAI 2003 International Workshop on Multi-Agents for Mass User Support, MAMUS 2003, held in Acapulco, Mexico in August 2003. Besides revised selected workshop papers, the volume editors invited contributions by leading researchers in order to complete coverage of important aspects. The papers address major current issues of multi-agent technology and its applications to support mass users and society more generally by using social coordination mechanisms. The papers are organized into topical sections on the theoretical background, resource allocation algorithms, mass user support in traffic systems, game theoretic analysis, and architectures for social coordination mechanisms.
