As the waters of the Mississippi River and Lake Pontchartrain began to pour into New Orleans, people began asking the big question--could any of this have been avoided? How much of the damage from Hurricane Katrina was bad luck, and how much was poor city planning? Steinberg's Acts of God is a provocative history of natural disasters in the United States. This revised edition features a new chapter analyzing the failed response to Hurricane Katrina, a disaster Steinberg warned could happen when the book first was published. Focusing on America's worst natural disasters, Steinberg argues that i |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
This book constitutes the proceedings of the 15th International Conference on Algorithmic Aspects in Information and Management, AAIM 2021, which was held online during December 20-22, 2021. The conference was originally planned to take place in Dallas, Texas, USA, but changed to a virtual event due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The 38 regular papers included in this book were carefully reviewed and selected from 62 submissions. They were organized in the following topical sections: approximation algorithms; scheduling; nonlinear combinatorial optimization; network problems; blockchain, logic, complexity and reliability; and miscellaneous. . |
