Container transportation is the predominant mode of inter-continental cargo traffic. Since container ships and port terminals involve a huge capital investment and significant daily operating costs, it is of crucial importance to efficiently utilize the internal resources of container terminals and transportation systems. Today there is an ongoing trend to use automated container handling and transportation technology, in particular, in countries with high labour costs. This in turn requires highly sophisticated control strategies in order to meet the desired performance measures. The primary objective of this book is to reflect these recent developments and to present new insights and successful solutions to operational problems of automated container terminals and transportation systems. It comprises reports on the state of the art, applications of quantitative methods, as well as case studies and simulation results. Its contributions are written by leading experts from academia and business. The book addresses practitioners as well as academic researchers in logistics, transportation, and management.

Innerhalb moderner Informations- und Kommunikationssysteme für Supply Chain Management und Logistik stehen heute erstmals große Mengen an digitalen, strukturierten Daten zur Verfügung. Diese bilden eine hervorragende Basis für den Einsatz quantitativer Methoden bei der Entscheidungsunterstützung. Durch State-of-the-Art-Technologien des Operations Research können heute sehr große Praxismodelle optimal gelöst und die Ergebnisse nahtlos in die Informations- und Kommunikationssysteme eines Unternehmens oder einer Lieferkette eingebunden werden. Darüber hinaus ist der Einsatz von Optimierungsverfahren heute nicht nur in der Planungsphase, sondern auch in der Ausführung möglich. Das Buch präsentiert Beispiele zur Nutzung quantitativer Methoden in Supply Chain Management und Logistik aus den Bereichen des Operations Research und der Wirtschaftsinformatik.

In recent years, supply chain planning has become one of the industry's most challenging issues. The focus is shifting from managing specific operations to a holistic view of logistics and production stages, integrating suppliers, production plants, and customers into a cohesive network. This shift is largely driven by the globalization of the economy, fostering cooperation among partners in worldwide logistics networks. Optimizing the structure and operations of complex supply networks, including plants, suppliers, distribution centers, and customers, can yield significant cost savings. To enhance the performance of the entire logistics chain, more sophisticated planning systems and effective decision support are essential. Successful applications of supply chain management have led to the development of advanced planning systems (APS), which assist in decision-making at strategic, tactical, and operational levels. These software packages utilize quantitative methods to model complex decision problems, considering limited resources and the need for timely responses to customer orders. The core module at the mid-term level of APS focuses on operational supply chain planning, as production stages are often assigned to different plants, with distribution centers located in geographically dispersed areas.

Durch die enorme Beschleunigung des physischen Warenaustausches, die umfassende Globalisierung der Wirtschaftsbeziehungen und die weltweite informationstechnische Vernetzung sind unternehmensübergreifende Wertschöpfungsnetzwerke entstanden. Die Gestaltung solcher Netzwerke und die Lösung logistischer Entscheidungsprobleme bedürfen fundierter wissenschaftlicher Methoden. Dabei werden zur Entscheidungsunterstützung im Liefernetz- und Logistikmanagement zunehmend so genannte Advanced Planning Systems (APS) mit den darin eingebetteten leistungsfähigen Optimierungsverfahren eingesetzt. Das Buch präsentiert Beispiele zur Nutzung quantitativer Methoden in Supply Chain Management und Logistik aus den Bereichen des Operations Research und der Wirtschaftsinformatik.

This book offers a concise, yet comprehensive companion volume to Tibullus and the Corpus Tibullianum by Kevin Newman, Robert Maltby and Peter Knox. Hans-Christian Günther is Professor of Classics at the University of Freiburg. He has published extensively on Augustan Poetry (i. a. Brill's Companion to Propertius and Brill's Companion to Horace), ancient and modern Greek poetry and philosophy. He is also the author of numerous verse translations from Latin, Italian, Modern, Greek, Georgian, Japanese and Chinese.

This volume collects mainly papers on ethnic cohabition and conflict written for two international conferences in the PR of China, one in Chonqing (SWUPL) in 2016 and one in Changsha (CSU) in 2015. A large part of the volume is dedicated to issues regarding Muslims. Hans-Christian Günther is professor for classics at the Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg. He has widely published on Greek and Roman philosophy and literature, Byzantine and modern Greek studies. Recently he has been more and more interested in intercultural studies, ethics and international politics.

The past decade has shown an increasing level of interest, research and application of quantitative models and computer based tools in the process industry. These models and tools constitute the basis of so-called Advanced Planning Systems which have gained considerable attention in practice. In particular, OR methodology has been applied to analyze and support the design of supply networks, the planning and scheduling of operations, and control issues arising in the production of food and beverages, chemicals, pharmaceutical, for instance. This book provides both new insights and successful solutions to problems of production planning and scheduling, logistics and supply chain management. It comprises reports on the state of the art, applications of quantitative methods, as well as case studies and success stories from industry. Its contributions are written by leading experts from academia and business. The book addresses practitioners working in industry as well as academic researchers in production, logistics, and supply chain management.

This comprehensive study deals with the major critical problems of one of the most difficult authors of Latin literature. It examines in a systematic fashion the two major factors which have been assumed to be responsible for the state of the transmitted text of Propertius: dislocation and interpolation. It also covers a large number of notorious cases of verbal corruption and discusses problems of the manuscript tradition on the basis of the most recent research. Beyond questions of textual criticism and history in the narrow sense the book provides also important exegetical remarks on many Propertian passages and deals in a separate chapter with problems of book and poem structure.

Andrej Platonow (1899-1951) ist der berühmteste Unbekannte der modernen russischen Literatur. Niemand hat den Geist der Epoche, die geprägt war vom Experiment der Erschaffung eines neuen Menschen, radikaler in Sprache verwandelt. Die russische Revolution, der Kampf um einen »neuen Himmel und eine neue Erde«, findet in seinem Werk einen unerhörten und tragischen Ausdruck. »Nach Platonow gab es einen solchen Schriftsteller in der russischen Prosa nicht wieder.« Joseph Brodsky Hans Günther legt hier die erste Biographie Platonows auf Deutsch vor; sie bietet einen profunden Einblick in Leben, Werk und Wirkung des Autors.
