This congress proceedings provides recent research on leading-edge manufacturing processes. The aim of this scientific congress is to work out diverse individual solutions of "production in the border area" and transferable methodological approaches. In addition, guest speakers with different backgrounds will give the congress participants food for thoughts, interpretations, views and suggestions.The manufacturing industry is currently undergoing a profound structural change, which on the one hand produces innovative solutions through the use of high-performance communication and information technology, and on the other hand is driven by new requirements for goods, especially in the mobility and energy sector. With the social discourse on how we should live and act primarily according to guidelines of sustainability, structural change is gaining increasing dynamic.It is essential to translate politically specified sustainability goals into socially accepted and marketable technical solutions. Production research is meeting this challenge and will make important contributions and provide innovative solutions from different perspectives.

This book adds a critical perspective to the legal dialogue on the regulation of ¿smart urban mobility¿. Mobility is one of the most visible sub-domains of the ¿smart city¿, which has become shorthand for technological advances that influence how cities are structured, public services are fashioned, and citizens coexist. In the urban context, mobility has come under pressure due to a variety of different forces, such as the implementation of new business models (e.g. car and bicycle sharing), the proliferation of alternative methods of transportation (e.g. electric scooters), the emergence of new market players and stakeholders (e.g. internet and information technology companies), and advancements in computer science (in particular due to artificial intelligence). At the same time, demographic changes and the climate crisis increase innovation pressure. In this context law is a seminal factor that both shapes and is shaped by socio-economic and technological change. This book puts a spotlight on recent developments in smart urban mobility from a legal, regulatory, and policy perspective. It considers the implications for the public sector, businesses, and citizens in relation to various areas of public and private law in the European Union, including competition law, intellectual property law, contract law, data protection law, environmental law, public procurement law, and legal philosophy.Chapter 'Location Data as Contractual Counter-Performance: A Consumer Perspective on Recent EU Legislation' of this book is available open access under a CC BY 4.0 license at link.springer.com.

Finden Sie in diesem Werk die richtungsweisenden methodischen Überlegungen des Integrierten Management-Ansatzes für die Umsetzung einer nachhaltigen Unternehmensführung!Die Thematik wird sowohl theoretisch-konzeptionell als auch praxisnah-fallbezogen mit einem intendierten mittelbaren ¿Brückenschlag¿ zwischen beiden Perspektiven beleuchtet. In Teilen der einschlägigen Fachliteratur wird die nachhaltige Unternehmensführung als integrales bzw. integriertes Konzept gekennzeichnet. Der Integrationsfokus sollte sich dabei auf die unterschiedlichen betrieblichen Ebenen und Subsysteme ausrichten. Dem weithin anerkannten St. Galler-Konzept "Integriertes Management" folgend, geht es darum, dass der auf der normativen Ebene postulierte Nachhaltigkeitsgedanke über die Strategie in operative Handlungsvollzüge einfließt und dadurch operationalisiert und für alle Anspruchsgruppen (insbesondere Kundenund Mitarbeiter) konkret erfahrbar wird. Das Konzept ¿Integriertes Management¿ bildet mit seinem metapherhaften Grundverständnis als ¿Leerstellengerüst für Sinnvolles und Ganzheitliches¿ hierzu einen sinnvoll ¿befüllbaren Rahmen¿. Die bewusste Zusammenführung mit diesem Konzept weitet das Integrationsverständnis der Nachhaltigkeit über die konzeptimmanente Verzahnung der konstitutiven Kerntriade (Ökonomie/Ökologie/Soziales) hinaus in alle betrieblichen Subsysteme (Ebenen, Teilfunktionen etc.) hinein.Erfahren Sie von ausgewählten Autorinnen und Autoren aus Forschung und Praxis aufgrund der unterschiedlichen Blickwinkel eine intendierte breitgefächerte Ausleuchtung der Thematik! Die Beiträge werden folgenden fünf Oberkategorien zugeordnet:Teil I: Einführung mit Betonung einer integrierten SichtweiseTeil II: Werteorientierte Grundlagen und Perspektiven Teil III: Exemplarisch dargestellte Objekt- und AnwendungsfelderTeil IV: Branchen- und praxisfallorientierte Beispiele Teil V: Fazit und Ausblick

The LNCS journal Transactions on Large-Scale Data- and Knowledge-Centered Systems focuses on data management, knowledge discovery, and knowledge processing, which are core and hot topics in computer science. Since the 1990s, the Internet has become the main driving force behind application development in all domains. An increase in the demand for resource sharing (e.g., computing resources, services, metadata, data sources) across different sites connected through networks has led to an evolution of data- and knowledge-management systems from centralized systems to decentralized systems enabling large-scale distributed applications providing high scalability.This, the 44th issue of Transactions on Large-Scale Data- and Knowledge-Centered Systems, contains six fully revised and extended papers selected from the 35th conference on Data Management ΓÇô Principles, Technologies and Applications, BDA 2019. The topics covered include big data, graph data streams, workflow execution in the cloud, privacy in crowdsourcing, secure distributed computing, machine learning, and data mining for recommendation systems.
