Mediation in the Construction Industry

$94.50

$94.50
From:Taylor & Francis Inc; 0

Document Overview:

The application of construction dispute procedures has changed dramatically in the last decade. This has resulted in an increased use of Alternative Dispute Resolution in many countries, and mediation in particular. Construction is one of the major industries using mediation, in the UK and in many other countries such as the US, China, Australia and New Zealand. This expansion in mediation has been helped by encouragement from governments, although it takes diverse forms in different legal jurisdictions, for example: court rules to encourage this use (as in the US and UK); the courts' own mediation schemes or programmes, or legislation-backed programmes; or the use of industry driven mediation clauses in standard form contracts.These developments have taken place extremely rapidly. They represent significant changes to the legal environment within which the international construction industry conducts its business but, to date, there has been little research on their impact. All these initiatives have inevitably led to a developing legal jurisprudence concerned with the validity of contract clauses or with providing statutory interpretation of the rules requiring or governing practice. This has important consequences for the construction industry because legal uncertainty increases the likelihood of dispute, which is not only costly for the disputants but can be damaging to national and global economies. This book identifies the emerging international practices within construction mediation, and seeks solutions to the many legal and commercial challenges which they pose. It presents an international collection of reviews by experts, and allows a comparative commentary on the practice of construction mediation and the legal challenges facing its development.

Making the World Work Better

From:Pearson Education

Document Overview:

Note: CD-ROM/DVD and other supplementary materials are not included.This is the eBook version of the printed book.Thomas J Watson Sr's motto for IBM was THINK, and for more than a century, that one little word worked overtime. In Making the World Work Better: The Ideas That Shaped a Century and a Company, journalists Kevin Maney, Steve Hamm, and Jeffrey M. O'Brien mark the Centennial of IBM's founding by examining how IBM has distinctly contributed to the evolution of technology and the modern corporation over the past 100 years.The authors offer a fresh analysis through interviews of many key figures, chronicling the Nobel Prize-winning work of the company's research laboratories and uncovering rich archival material, including hundreds of vintage photographs and drawings. The book recounts the company's missteps, as well as its successes. It captures moments of high drama — from the bet-the-business gamble on the legendary System/360 in the 1960s to the turnaround from the company's near-death experience in the early 1990s. The authors have shaped a narrative of discoveries, struggles, individual insights and lasting impact on technology, business and society. Taken together, their essays reveal a distinctive mindset and organizational culture, animated by a deeply held commitment to the hard work of progress.IBM engineers and scientists invented many of the building blocks of modern information technology, including the memory chip, the disk drive, the scanning tunneling microscope (essential to nanotechnology) and even new fields of mathematics. IBM brought the punch-card tabulator, the mainframe and the personal computer into the mainstream of business and modern life. IBM was the first large American company to pay all employees salaries rather than hourly wages, an early champion of hiring women and minorities and a pioneer of new approaches to doing business—with its model of the globally integrated enterprise. And it has had a lasting impact on the course o

Document Overview:

Note: CD-ROM/DVD and other supplementary materials are not included.This is the eBook version of the printed book.A Proven Development Methodology That Delivers On the Promise of Model-Based ApproachesSoftware continues to grow increasingly complex, while software consumers' expectations for performance, reliability, functionality, and speed-to-market are also growing exponentially. H. S. Lahman shows how to address all these challenges by integrating object-oriented techniques with a powerful new methodology, Model-Based Software Engineering (MBSE).Model-Based Development represents Lahman's half-century of experience as a pioneering software innovator. Building on Shlaer-Mellor's work, MBSE fully delivers on the promise of models, and is firmly grounded in the realities of contemporary development, design, and architecture.Lahman introduces the methodology's core principles, showing how it separates each of a project's concerns, enabling practitioners to optimize each domain for its unique needs and characteristics. Next, he demonstrates how to perform more effective object-oriented analysis, emphasizing abstraction, disciplined partitioning, modeling invariants, finite state machines, and efficient communications among program units.Coverage includes How we got here: a historical perspective and pragmatic review of object principlesProblem space versus computing space: reflecting crucial distinctions between customer and computer environments in your designsApplication partitioning: why it matters and how do it wellBuilding static models that distinguish knowledge from behaviorModeling classes, class responsibilities, associations, and both referential and knowledge integrityCreating dynamic models that describe behavior via finite state machinesSuccessfully using abstract action languages (AALs) and action data flow diagrams (ADFDs)Throughout, Lahman illuminates theoretical issues in practical terms, explaining why things are done as they are, without demanding
Learning MonoTouch

$32.39

$32.39
From:Pearson Education

Document Overview:

Note: CD-ROM/DVD and other supplementary materials are not included.Many .NET developers and many enterprises would like to target the iPhone for business application development, yet the learning curve and cost of moving to Objective-C precludes the practicality of this in many cases. MonoTouch brings the best of CocoaTouch and .NET under a single, extensible technology, providing the only way to develop iPhone applications using .NET that can be published to the iPhone App Store.Learning MonoTouch begins with the basics of building applications for the iPhone under MonoTouch. It assumes the reader is familiar with C# and .NET at least on an intermediate level and will focus on making use of existing skills while presenting in detail iPhone-specific information. Initial chapters will have simple examples to get the reader up and running and lay the groundwork for more complex samples and chapters presented later in the book. After the basics are covered, the book quickly moves into more complex examples using a practical application that addresses common use cases encountered in enterprise application projects.Learning MonoTouch is for .NET/C# developers with several years of application development experience, but little to no iPhone or Mac development experience. This book teaches C#/.NET developers how to take their existing skills to the iPhone and shows them everything they need to know to build an enterprise class application using MonoTouch. The book assumes intermediate-level knowledge of C#/.NET. Some familiarity with n-tier application development will be helpful, but the book will include some primers in areas such as web services or database development where appropriate.
