    OPTIMIZATION -- 74

    Computing has become essential for the modeling, analysis, and optimization
    of systems. This book is devoted to algorithms, computational analysis, and
    decision models. The chapters are organized in two parts: optimization
    models of decisions and models of pricing and equilibria.
    Optimization is at the core of rational decision making. Even when the
    decision maker has more than one goal or there is significant uncertainty
    in the system, optimization provides a rational framework for efficient
    decisions. The Markowitz mean-variance formulation is a classical example.
    The first part of the book is on recent developments in optimization
    decision models for finance and economics. The first four chapters of this
    part focus directly on multi-stage problems in finance. Chapters 58
    involve the use of worst-case robust analysis. Chapters 911 are devoted
    to portfolio optimization. The final four chapters are on
    transportation-inventory with stochastic demand; optimal investment with
    CRRA utility; hedging financial contracts; and, automatic differentiation
    for computational finance.
    The uncertainty associated with prediction and modeling constantly requires
    the development of improved methods and models. Similarly, as systems
    strive towards equilibria, the characterization and computation of
    equilibria assists analysis and prediction. The second part of the book is
    devoted to recent research in computational tools and models of equilibria,
    prediction, and pricing. The first three chapters of this part consider
    hedging issues in finance. Chapters 1922 consider prediction and
    modeling methodologies. Chapters 2326 focus on auctions and equilibria.
    Volatility models are investigated in chapters 2728. The final two
    chapters investigate risk assessment and product pricing.
    Audience: Researchers working in computational issues related to economics,
    finance, and management science.

    IN LINGUISTICS AND PHILOSOPHY -- 79

    Speech Acts, Mind, and Social Reality these are the main topics in the
    work of John R. Searle, one of the leading philosophical figures of the
    present times. How language is based on intentionality, how intentionality
    in turn is to be explicated by means of distinctions discovered in Speech
    Act Theory, and how language and intentionality are both related to social
    facts and institutions these are questions to be tackled in this
    volume. The contributions result from discussions on and with John R.
    Searle, containing Searle's own latest views including his seminal
    ideas on Rationality in Action. The collection provides a good basis for
    advanced seminar debates in Philosophy of Language, Philosophy of Mind, and
    Social Philosophy, and will also stimulate some further research on all of
    the three main topics.

    The International Workshop on "The Internet Challenge: Technology
    andApplications" is the fifth in a successful series of Workshops that were
    established by Shanghai Jiao Tong University and Technische Universitt
    Berlin. The goal of those workshops is to bring together researchers from
    both universities in order to present research results to an international
    community. Not only the enabling technology but also challenging
    applications based on internet technology are covered in the workshop as
    e.g.:Information extraction, content correlation analysis;Electronic
    trading, electronic learning over the internet;Internet-based robot
    control, telepresence, supply chain modeling;Communication techniques as
    wireless LANs, multistage interconnection, quality of service;Metacomputing
    and performance prediction;Image retrieval, spatial reasoning.
