Relational structures abound in our daily environment: relational databases, data mining, scaling procedures, preference relations, etc. As the documentation of scientific results achieved within the European COST Action 274, TARSKI, this book advances the understanding of relational structures and the use of relational methods in various application fields.
The 12 revised full papers were carefully reviewed and selected for presentations. The papers are devoted to mechanization of relational reasoning, relational scaling and preferences, and algebraic and logical foundations of real world relations.

About the author
Dr. Gunther Schmidt gilt international als einer der maßgeblichen Pioniere in der Entwicklung einer Integration systemischer (auch familientherapeutischer) Modelle und der kompetenzfokussierenden Konzepte Erickson'scher Hypnotherapie zu einem ganzheitlich-lösungsfokussierenden Konzept für Beratung und Psychotherapie. Im deutschsprachigen Raum begründete er mit seinen, durch Milton Erickson angeregten Beiträgen die 'lösungsorientierte Wende' in der systemischen Familientherapie ebenso wie den Aufbau kompetenz- und lösungsorientierter Kurzzeittherapie im Bereich z.B. von Suchtproblemen, Psychosomatik und der Therapie von massiv traumatisierten Menschen. Die von ihm entwickelten systemisch- hypnotherapeutischen Modelle für Organisationsberatung, Team- und Gruppenarbeit und Coaching tragen wesentlich zu einem intensivierten ressourcenorientierten Beratungsverständnis bei. 2011 wurde Schmidt für sein Lebenswerk mit dem Life Achivement Award ausgezeichnet.
