Bunche (1903-1971) iniziò la sua carriera come educatore e scienziato politico, e successivamente si unì alle Nazioni Unite, servendo come Sottosegretario generale per diciassette dei suoi venticinque anni con quel corpo. Questo mediatore afroamericano è stata la prima persona di colore al mondo a ricevere il Premio Nobel per la Pace. A metà degli anni '30, Bunche ha svolto un ruolo chiave nell'organizzazione del National Negro Congress, un gruppo popolare in prima linea dedicato alla politica progressista e alla riforma del lavoro e dei diritti civili. Un'analisi breve e provvisoria della leadership negra fornisce informazioni chiave sulla leadership nera agli albori del moderno movimento per i diritti civili. Preparata originariamente per lo studio della Carnegie Foundation, An American Dilemma: The Negro Problem and Modern Democracy, la ricerca di Bunche sull'argomento fu completata nel 1940. Questo lavoro mai pubblicato prima ora include un'introduzione accademica estesa e commenti contestuali di Jonathan Scott Holloway. Nonostante il fatto che Malcolm X definisse Bunche un "uomo di colore che non conosceva la sua storia", Bunche non ha mai esitato dalla sua fede che la politica integrazionista ha aperto la strada al progresso razziale. Questo nuovo volume impone una riconsiderazione dell'eredità di Bunche come riformatore e il significato storico del suo primo coinvolgimento nel movimento per i diritti civili. 610 $aLeadership$yStati Uniti d'America$2BNCF 676 $a324.08996073 700 1$aBUNCHE,$bRalph Johnson$f1904-1971.$0251720 702 1$aHOLLOWAY,$bJonathan Scott 801 0$bcba$aIT$bcba$gREICAT 912 $a996412649803316 959 $aEB 969 $aER 996 $aBrief and tentative analysis of Negro leadership$91772496 997 $aUNISA LEADER 04991nam 22006975 450 001 9910254202903321 005 20220411234743.0 010 $a3-319-26977-1 024 7 $a10.1007/978-3-319-26977-1 035 $a(CKB)3780000000094085 035 $a(EBL)4201526 035 $a(SSID)ssj0001597448 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)16297331 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001597448 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)14885811 035 $a(PQKB)10440654 035 $a(DE-He213)978-3-319-26977-1 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC4201526 035 $a(PPN)190885513 035 $a(EXLCZ)993780000000094085 100 $a20151221d2016 u| 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aSubmodularity in dynamics and control of networked systems /$fby Andrew Clark, Basel Alomair, Linda Bushnell, Radha Poovendran 205 $a1st ed. 2016. 210 1$aCham :$cSpringer International Publishing :$cImprint: Springer,$d2016. 215 $a1 online resource (220 p.) 225 1 $aCommunications and Control Engineering,$x0178-5354 300 $aDescription based upon print version of record. 311 $a3-319-26975-5 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references at the end of each chapters and index. 327 $aPart I: Submodular Functions and Optimization -- Submodular Functions and Matroids -- Centralized Submodular Maximization -- Distributed Submodular Maximization -- Submodularity in Dynamics and Control -- Background on Control of Networked Systems -- Submodular Optimization for Smooth Convergence in Networked Systems -- Selecting Catalyst Nodes for Synchronization -- Input Selection for Robustness to Noise -- Input Node Selection under Noise Injection Attacks -- Input Node Selection for Joint Performance and Controllability. 330 $aThis book presents a framework for the control of networked systems utilizing submodular optimization techniques. The main focus is on selecting input nodes for the control of networked systems, an inherently discrete optimization problem with applications in power system stability, social influence dynamics, and the control of vehicle formations. The first part of the book is devoted to background information on submodular functions, matroids, and submodular optimization, and presents algorithms for distributed submodular optimization that are scalable to large networked systems. In turn, the second part develops a unifying submodular optimization approach to controlling networked systems based on multiple performance and controllability criteria. Techniques are introduced for selecting input nodes to ensure smooth convergence, synchronization, and robustness to environmental and adversarial noise. Submodular optimization is the first unifying approach towards guaranteeing both performance and controllability with provable optimality bounds in static as well as time-varying networks. Throughout the text, the submodular framework is illustrated with the help of numerical examples and application-based case studies in biological, energy and vehicular systems. The book effectively combines two areas of growing interest, and will be especially useful for researchers in control theory, applied mathematics, networking or machine learning with experience in submodular optimization but who are less familiar with the problems and tools available for networked systems (or vice versa). It will also benefit graduate students, offering consistent terminology and notation that greatly reduces the initial effort associated with beginning a course of study in a new area. 410 0$aCommunications and Control Engineering,$x0178-5354 606 $aAutomatic control 606 $aSystem theory 606 $aElectrical engineering 606 $aControl and Systems Theory$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T19010 606 $aSystems Theory, Control$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M13070 606 $aCommunications Engineering, Networks$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T24035 615 0$aAutomatic control. 615 0$aSystem theory. 615 0$aElectrical engineering. 615 14$aControl and Systems Theory. 615 24$aSystems Theory, Control. 615 24$aCommunications Engineering, Networks. 676 $a511.6 700 $aClark$b Andrew$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0394529 702 $aAlomair$b Basel$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 702 $aBushnell$b Linda$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 702 $aPoovendran$b Radha$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910254202903321 996 $aSubmodularity in Dynamics and Control of Networked Systems$92514060 997 $aUNINA
