Description: Integrating Geographic Information Systems and Agent-Based Modeling Techniques for Simulatin Social and Ecological Processes by H. Randy Gimblett For those addressing ecological and natural resource management problems this volume presents a set of cross-referenced perspectives on incorporating the spatial representation and analytical power of GIS with agent-based modeling of evolutionary and non-linear processes and phenomena. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description For those addressing ecological and natural resource management problems this volume presents a set of coherent, cross-referenced perspectives on incorporating the spatial representation and analytical power of GIS with agent-based modeling of evolutionary and non-linear processes and phenomena. Many recent advances in software algorithms for incorporating geographic data in modeling social and ecological behaviors and also the success in applying such algorithmshave not been adequately written about This book fills that gap and provides much needed information on applications for the research community as well as those in the management of natural resources. Flap The exploding use of credit derivatives and collateralized debt obligations (CDOs) has transformed the world of credit-creating a trillion dollar market almost overnight, as well as innumerable investment and career opportunities. Authors Arvind Rajan Glen McDermott, and Ratul Roy are seasoned financial professionals who have extensive experience in this field, and with The Structured Credit Handbook, they look to share their in-depth insights with you. This practical guide is organized into three comprehensive sections-reflecting the natural divisions within the credit marketplace. And each section ins comprised of informative chapters devoted to specific products. Part One describes and analyzes single name credit derivatives (such as credit default swaps and default swaptions) as well as indexes (such as default swap indexes) Part Two covers portfolio credit derivatives, with chapters devoted to single-tranche CDOs, correlation market technicals, CDO-squareds, and credit CPPI Part Three is devoted to cash CDOs, and includes chapters on collateralized loan obligations (CLOs), asset-backed CDOs, CDO equity, and commercial real estate CDOs. Illustrated with examples throughout, and written in a straightforward and accessible style, The Structured Credit Handbook explains the structure, cash flow characteristics, market application, and investment considerations associated with each product. And with a rich set of case studies highlighting each product, youll discover how to effectively implement each one in todays dynamic marketplace-as an investment, hedging vehicle, risk transfer tool, and much more. With each section-as well as most chapters-designed to be self-contained, The Structured Credit Handbook is organized in a way that allows you to use it as either a comprehensive introduction to credit-related products or as a reference book that can be consulted as the need arises. The global credit landscape is being irrevocably changed, and The Structured Credit Handbook has been created to help you navigate this new world. Whether youre a market professional or a savvy individual investor, this definitive guide contains the up-to-date information you need to succeed in such a rapidly growing field. Author Biography H.

The papers were originally presented at a conference held in March of 1998 at the Santa Fe Institute. Topics include, for example, spatial units as agents, models of individual decision making in simulations ofcommon-pool- resource management institutions, and mobile agents with spatial intelligence."--SciTech Book News"Nine contributions from Gimblett (U. of Arizona) and other scientists discuss the use of geographic information systems in connection with agent-based modeling techniques to dynamically simulate evolutionary, ecological, and social phenomena.
