This is a comprehensive survey on the research on the parabolic Anderson model – the heat equation with random potential or the random walk in random potential – of the years 1990 – 2015. The investigation of this model requires a combination of tools from probability (large deviations, extreme-value theory, e. g.) and analysis (spectral theory for the Laplace operator with potential, variational analysis, e. g.). We explain the background, the applications, the questions and the connections with other models and formulate the most relevant results on the long-time behavior of the solution, like quenched and annealed asymptotics for the total mass, intermittency, confinement and concentration properties and mass flow. Furthermore, we explain the most successful proof methods and give a list of open research problems. Proofs are not detailed, but concisely outlined and commented; the formulations of some theorems are slightly simplified for better comprehension.

Hardly anything characterizes our lives as much as technology. This dictum from philosopher Hans Poser is in sharp contrast to the marginal attention that technology has found in traditional historical study. Only a few well-known historians such as Karl Lamprecht and Franz Schnabel serve as exceptions. Others, like Jorn Ruesen and Reinhard Ruerup, refer to the importance of technology for historical development. Additionally, a new discipline was created, first supported by engineers, then also by historians: history of technology. Assembled here are the basic texts that document the evolution of technological history from an engineering to a historical subject and provide an overview of its key issues. German text.

This book gives answers to the question how distributed information systems can serve management, especially lean management. The authors develop new theoretical insights for the future of decentralized firms and offer concepts for creating and maintaining distributed information systems. The book contains interesting prototypes in logistics and financial industries and shows designs and applications of workflow systems. It offers a state-of-the-art survey of the subject.
