Demonstrates that the processes of innovation and technological change are spatially differentiated, both regionally within countries and internationally between countries. This book also aims to broaden our understanding of the innovation process and the process of network formation

The book addresses the relationship between knowledge, complexity and innovation systems. It integrates research findings from a broad area including economics, business studies, management studies, geography, mathematics and science & technology contributions from a wide range group of...

This paper attempts to develop a mathematically rigid framework for minimizing the cross-entropy function in an error back propagating framework. In doing so, we derive the backpropagation formulae for evaluating the partial derivatives in a computationally efficient way. Various techniques of...

In recent years, spatial analysis has become an increasingly active field, as evidenced by the establishment of educational and research programs at many universities. Its popularity is due mainly to new technologies and the development of spatial data infrastructures. This book illustrates some...
