When you surf the web and find a particular website you like, you probably ask yourself who designed it, and how. Brains are the most important assets for making the web dynamic and interesting. The use of the right tools can create the right interface for the right person, product or company. You just have to find the right people that will do the right thing for you, or to serve as the best example for what you need. This book, in its compact format, displays 90 of the most prominent interactive studios worldwide: web firms that have worked out creative solutions for big and small customers all around the globe. Being an interactive agency doesn't just mean focusing on internet solutions. It has much more to do with the way these professionals think and execute their tasks. When you make work for the web, you have to think differently than when you work for print or film, for example. You may even work for all of them, as some studios indeed do, but working online demands a...

Wavelet methods are by now a well-known tool in image processing (jpeg2000). These functions have been used successfully in other areas, however. Elliptic Partial Differential Equations which model several processes in, for example, science and engineering, is one such field. This book, based on the author's course, gives an introduction to wavelet methods in general and then describes their application for the numerical solution of elliptic partial differential equations. Recently developed adaptive methods are also covered and each scheme is complemented with numerical results , exercises, and corresponding software.

Hardbound. This book focuses on the challenges faced by defense-related industries and by the US Department of Defense in the post-Cold War era: by the former in enhancing their financial well-being, and by the latter in maintaining affordable national security. It explores the conditions they face, both currently and in the future they envision, as well as the corporate strategies and public policies that each develops in response to these conditions and visions. The contributors to this book describe these corporate strategies and public policies, assess their respective strengths and weaknesses, and where appropriate, endorse them or recommend alternatives. Finally, senior executives from ten small and large defense-related firms recount their experiences in diversifying successfully into commercial markets and the challenges they met or still face in planning and implementing their strategies effectively.
