Despite the obvious importance of measurement in any scientific endeavor, few students of the social sciences receive adequate training in the principles and problems of assigning numerical values to the subjects, objects, events, groups and operations they study, and still less in the process of translating theoretical ideas and concepts into variables. This kind of casualness with respect to measurement is often in marked contrast to their methodically designed research, which has grown out of subtle and sophisticated theoretical consideration.

The theory of multidimensional scaling arose and grew within the field of the behavioral sciences and now covers several statistical techniques that are widely used in many disciplines. Intended for readers of varying backgrounds, this book comprehensively covers the area while serving as an introduction to the mathematical ideas behind the various techniques of multidimensional scaling.

Success on the web is measured by usage and growth. Web-based companies live or die by the ability to scale their infrastructure to accommodate increasing demand. This book is a hands-on and practical guide to planning for such growth, with many techniques and considerations to help you plan, deploy, and manage web application infrastructure. The Art of Capacity Planning is written by the manager of data operations for the world-famous photo-sharing site Flickr.com, now owned by Yahoo! John Allspaw combines personal anecdotes from many phases of Flickr’s growth with insights from his col

This book describes the progress that has been made toward the development of a comprehensive understanding of the formation of complex, disorderly patterns under far from equilibrium conditions. It describes the application of fractal geometry and scaling concepts to the quantitative description and understanding of structure formed under nonequilibrium conditions. Self similar fractals, multi-fractals and scaling methods are discussed, with examples, to facilitate applications in the physical sciences. While the emphasis is on computer simulations and experimental studies, the author also in

Service science is an emerging field, but many still consider it lacking in substance. This book aims to change the situation by addressing the following questions: What is the big story about service? What are the main research problems in service? What does a connected world mean? Does service require a different kind of design science? What will be the next waves of the Web? How to support universal value co-creation? How to unite Cyberspace wilt physical space? Is it feassible to connect information resources everywhere? To answer these questions, the book presents and substantiates a d
