introduction -- when is blockchain technology valuable? – a state-of-the-art analysis -- blockchain technology in e-business value chains -- blockchain technology application domains along the e-commerce value chain – a qualitative content analysis of news articles -- opportunities and challenges of blockchain technology for negotiation support systems -- discussion and outlook -- references.

Sommario/riassunto

Blockchain Technology (BCT) is explored as a substantial part of the next generation of the Internet affecting business models in e-business. This book explores the application of BCT in e-business focusing on the value creation. The research objective is to examine how and why BCT is used in e-business value chains. This objective is reached through a pragmatic multimethod approach combining four studies. Study 1 summarises the state-of-the-art of approaches to assess a BCT fit for a particular scenario and outlines shortcomings resulting from these approaches. Study 2 provides empirical insights into the usage of BCT in four e-business value chains based on the cases Theta (content), OpenBazaar (commerce), Presearch (context), and Crypviser (connection). Study 3 deepens the insights in the e-commerce value chain. By means of a qualitative content analysis of news articles, various BCT application domains for each e-commerce activity are presented. Study 4 narrows the perspective of analysis to e-negotiations, proposes a BC-based negotiation support system and



examines its opportunities and challenges. Finally, an integrative discussion of the findings results in two explanations how BCT is applied in e-business. About the author Josepha Witt has been researching the use of Blockchain Technology in various application areas since 2016. Most recently, she completed her doctorate at the Chair of Intelligent Information Systems at the University of Hohenheim.

Sommario/riassunto

Current developments in air pollution modelling are explored as a series of contributions from researchers at the forefront of their field. This newest contribution on air pollution modelling and its application is focused on local, urban, regional and intercontinental modelling; data assimilation and air quality forecasting; model assessment and evaluation; aerosol transformation. Additionally, this work also examines the relationship between air quality and human health and the effects of climate change on air quality.  The work is comprised of selected papers presented at the 34th International Technical Meeting on Air Pollution Modelling and its Application held in Montpellier, France in 2015.  The book is intended as reference material for students and professors interested in air pollution modelling at the graduate level as well as researchers and professionals involved in developing and utilizing air pollution models.
