Intermittent Demand Forecasting: Context, Methods and Applications
by John E. Boylan Aris A. SyntetosINTERMITTENT DEMAND FORECASTING The first text to focus on the methods and approaches of intermittent, rather than fast, demand forecasting Intermittent Demand Forecasting is for anyone who is interested in improving forecasts of intermittent demand products, and enhancing the management of inventories. Whether you are a practitioner, at the sharp end of demand planning, a software designer, a student, an academic teaching operational research or operations management courses, or a researcher in this field, we hope that the book will inspire you to rethink demand forecasting. If you do so, then you can contribute towards significant economic and environmental benefits. No prior knowledge of intermittent demand forecasting or inventory management is assumed in this book. The key formulae are accompanied by worked examples to show how they can be implemented in practice. For those wishing to understand the theory in more depth, technical notes are provided at the end of each chapter, as well as an extensive and up-to-date collection of references for further study. Software developments are reviewed, to give an appreciation of the current state of the art in commercial and open source software. “Intermittent demand forecasting may seem like a specialized area but actually is at the center of sustainability efforts to consume less and to waste less. Boylan and Syntetos have done a superb job in showing how improvements in inventory management are pivotal in achieving this. Their book covers both the theory and practice of intermittent demand forecasting and my prediction is that it will fast become the bible of the field.” —Spyros Makridakis, Professor, University of Nicosia, and Director, Institute for the Future and the Makridakis Open Forecasting Center (MOFC). “We have been able to support our clients by adopting many of the ideas discussed in this excellent book, and implementing them in our software. I am sure that these ideas will be equally helpful for other supply chain software vendors and for companies wanting to update and upgrade their capabilities in forecasting and inventory management.”—Suresh Acharya, VP, Research and Development, Blue Yonder. “As product variants proliferate and the pace of business quickens, more and more items have intermittent demand. Boylan and Syntetos have long been leaders in extending forecasting and inventory methods to accommodate this new reality. Their book gathers and clarifies decades of research in this area, and explains how practitioners can exploit this knowledge to make their operations more efficient and effective.”—Thomas R. Willemain, Professor Emeritus, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.
Internal and External Stabilization of Linear Systems with Constraints
by Peddapullaiah Sannuti Ali Saberi Anton A. StoorvogelUnifying two decades of research, this book is the first to establish a comprehensive foundation for a systematic analysis and design of linear systems with general state and input constraints. For such systems, which can be used as models for most nonlinear systems, the issues of stability, controller design, additonal constraints, and satisfactory performance are addressed. The book is an excellent reference for practicing engineers, graduate students, and researchers in control systems theory and design. It may also serve as an advanced graduate text for a course or a seminar in nonlinear control systems theory and design in applied mathematics or engineering departments. Minimal prerequisites include a first graduate course in state-space methods as well as a first course in control systems design.

Internal Migration: Geographical Perspectives and Processes (International Population Studies)
by Nigel Walford Nissa Finney Darren P. SmithOver the last two decades there have been numerous profound changes in UK society which have had an impact on the scale, geographies, meaning and experiences of internal migration. Providing a critical appraisal of migration scholarship from the perspective of Geography, reviewing theory, substantive foci and method, this book demonstrates how sub-national migration in the UK gives rise to and reflects new patterns of population, housing, economies and cultures. Each chapter is written by a Population Geographer together with a scholar representing another Human Geography sub-discipline thus providing a cross-disciplinary perspective on a specific aspect of migration. Critically reviewing and setting an agenda for internal migration scholarship from a spatial perspective, this book will be of interest to academics and students of Geography and other disciplines concerned with migration, both within the UK and further afield.
Internal Migration as a Life-Course Trajectory: Concepts, Methods and Empirical Applications (The Springer Series on Demographic Methods and Population Analysis #53)
by Aude BernardThis book responds to growing calls to conceptualise and analyse internal migration as a trajectory that unfolds over the life course of individuals rather than a series of discrete events. It combines macro and micro modes of analysis into a cohort framework to explore how individuals transition from one migration to the next. The book presents new methodological developments in longitudinal analysis and applies them to internal migration in 27 European countries. It demonstrates that the traditional dichotomy between migrants and non-migrants conceals a wide range of migration behaviour and heterogeneity among repeat migrants. It also reveals a continuity of migration behaviour: being exposed to the challenges and benefits of migration early in life predisposes individuals toward migration in adulthood. By adopting a cohort approach to migration coupled with state-of-the-art methods and novel concepts, this book provides new insights into internal migration for graduate students, academics and policymakers interested in understanding migration behaviour in Europe and beyond.
Internal Migration in the Countries of Asia: A Cross-national Comparison
by Elin Charles-Edwards Martin Bell Yu Zhu Aude BernardThis book explores how population mobility varies among the countries of Asia. While much attention has been given to international migration, movement within countries is numerically much more significant. Coupling innovative methods developed in the global IMAGE project with the contextual knowledge of experts on 15 Asian countries, the book measures and explains how people across Asia differ in the probability of changing residence, the ages at which they move, and the impact of these migrations on the distribution of human settlement within each country. It demonstrates how stage of economic development, coupled with historical events, local contingencies, cultural norms, political frameworks, and the physical environment shape human migration. By using rigorous statistics in a robust comparative framework, this book provides a clear understanding of contemporary migration in Asia for students and academics, and a valuable resource for policy-makers and planners in Asia and beyond.
Internal Waves in the Ocean: Theory and Practice (Surveys and Tutorials in the Applied Mathematical Sciences #9)
by Marek StastnaThis monograph provides a concise overview of nonlinear internal wave theory. It serves as a self-contained reference for both students of mathematics as well as scientific professionals by presenting the material in two parts, isolating the narrative analysis from the mathematical detail. This unique format allows the text to remain accessible to oceanographers and researchers outside of mathematics by presenting a range of relevant theories on their own terms. Conversely, it enables applied mathematicians to understand how the conversation between mathematics and sciences proceeds in a field that has developed through a combination of the two. In addition, the text is supplemented by hands-on Matlab software, as the book incorporates a collection of working codes that enable readers to reproduce all theoretical figures in the text, with modification potential to fit a range of applications including a number of mini-projects outlined throughout the text.
International Aging: Understanding the Diverse Experiences of Growing Old (International Perspectives on Aging #43)
by Jason L. PowellAs the world undergoes huge demographic shifts with aging populations and increasing life expectancy, it is essential to recognize the importance of understanding aging in different international, cultural, social, and economic contexts. This book aims to explore the diverse experiences of growing older across various regions and societies. By adopting an international perspective, this book will critically analyze the unique challenges and opportunities that arise in different aging populations in Asia, Americas, EU and Africa. Through this exploration, readers can gain a deeper understanding of aging and develop more effective strategies to support older individuals across the globe relating to pensions, employment, care and leisure. The purpose of this book is to shed light on the diversity of aging experiences internationally and examine the cultural, social, economic, and public policy factors that shape these experiences. By adopting an international approach, this book illuminates the variations in expectations, perceptions, and practices related to aging. This book seeks to promote a broader understanding of aging that goes beyond singular narratives and encourages the development of inclusive and contextually relevant approaches to aging and care.
