The study of sustainability is necessarily an interdisciplinary field. Along with their analysis of sustainable technologies and processes these 11 papers present a variety of approaches to
data analysis, decision-making and risk management, addressing climate protection strategies under ambiguity, viability theory as it applies to renewable resources management, qualitative
modeling techniques to access patterns of global change, qualitative kernels is analyzing a sustainability indicators, constraint satisfaction problems for modeling, risk management using
spatial adaptive Monte Carlo optimization, genetic algorithms, fuzzy logic in climate change analysis, and practical decision support in the modeling of estuaries, hazard assessment of debris
flows, and integrated techniques. Papers include illustrations and references. Annotation 穢2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
