Modern society has become dependent on technology, allowing
personal information to be input and used across a variety of
personal and professional systems. From banking to medical records
to e-commerce, sensitive data has never before been at such a high
risk of misuse. As such, organizations now have a greater
responsibility than ever to ensure that their stakeholder data is
secured, leading to the increased need for cybersecurity
specialists and the development of more secure software and
systems. To avoid issues such as hacking and create a safer online
space, cybersecurity education is vital and not only for those
seeking to make a career out of cybersecurity, but also for the
general public who must become more aware of the information they
are sharing and how they are using it. It is crucial people learn
about cybersecurity in a comprehensive and accessible way in order
to use the skills to better protect all data. The Research
Anthology on Advancements in Cybersecurity Education discusses
innovative concepts, theories, and developments for not only
teaching cybersecurity, but also for driving awareness of efforts
that can be achieved to further secure sensitive data. Providing
information on a range of topics from cybersecurity education
requirements, cyberspace security talents training systems, and
insider threats, it is ideal for educators, IT developers,
education professionals, education administrators, researchers,
security analysts, systems engineers, software security engineers,
security professionals, policymakers, and students.

Parallelism is the key to achieving high performance in computing.
However, writing efficient and scalable parallel programs is
notoriously difficult, and often requires significant expertise. To
address this challenge, it is crucial to provide programmers with
high-level tools to enable them to develop solutions easily, and at
the same time emphasize the theoretical and practical aspects of
algorithm design to allow the solutions developed to run
efficiently under many different settings. This thesis addresses
this challenge using a three-pronged approach consisting of the
design of shared-memory programming techniques, frameworks, and
algorithms for important problems in computing. The thesis provides
evidence that with appropriate programming techniques, frameworks,
and algorithms, shared-memory programs can be simple, fast, and
scalable, both in theory and in practice. The results developed in
this thesis serve to ease the transition into the multicore era.
The first part of this thesis introduces tools and techniques for
deterministic parallel programming, including means for
encapsulating nondeterminism via powerful commutative building
blocks, as well as a novel framework for executing sequential
iterative loops in parallel, which lead to deterministic parallel
algorithms that are efficient both in theory and in practice. The
second part of this thesis introduces Ligra, the first high-level
shared memory framework for parallel graph traversal algorithms.
The framework allows programmers to express graph traversal
algorithms using very short and concise code, delivers performance
competitive with that of highly-optimized code, and is up to orders
of magnitude faster than existing systems designed for distributed
memory. This part of the thesis also introduces Ligra , which
extends Ligra with graph compression techniques to reduce space
usage and improve parallel performance at the same time, and is
also the first graph processing system to support in-memory graph
compression. The third and fourth parts of this thesis bridge the
gap between theory and practice in parallel algorithm design by
introducing the first algorithms for a variety of important
problems on graphs and strings that are efficient both in theory
and in practice. For example, the thesis develops the first
linear-work and polylogarithmic-depth algorithms for suffix tree
construction and graph connectivity that are also practical, as
well as a work-efficient, polylogarithmic-depth, and
cache-efficient shared-memory algorithm for triangle computations
that achieves a 2-5x speedup over the best existing algorithms on
40 cores. This is a revised version of the thesis that won the 2015
ACM Doctoral Dissertation Award.

Big Mechanisms in Systems Biology: Big Data Mining, Network
Modeling, and Genome-Wide Data Identification explains big
mechanisms of systems biology by system identification and big data
mining methods using models of biological systems. Systems biology
is currently undergoing revolutionary changes in response to the
integration of powerful technologies. Faced with a large volume of
available literature, complicated mechanisms, small prior
knowledge, few classes on the topics, and causal and mechanistic
language, this is an ideal resource. This book addresses system
immunity, regulation, infection, aging, evolution, and
carcinogenesis, which are complicated biological systems with
inconsistent findings in existing resources. These inconsistencies
may reflect the underlying biology time-varying systems and signal
transduction events that are often context-dependent, which raises
a significant problem for mechanistic modeling since it is not
clear which genes/proteins to include in models or experimental
measurements. The book is a valuable resource for bioinformaticians
and members of several areas of the biomedical field who are
interested in an in-depth understanding on how to process and apply
great amounts of biological data to improve research.
With near-universal internet access and ever-advancing electronic
devices, the ability to facilitate interactions between various
hardware and software provides endless possibilities. Though
internet of things (IoT) technology is becoming more popular among
individual users and companies, more potential applications of this
technology are being sought every day. There is a need for studies
and reviews that discuss the methodologies, concepts, and possible
problems of a technology that requires little or no human
interaction between systems. The Handbook of Research on the
Internet of Things Applications in Robotics and Automation is a
pivotal reference source on the methods and uses of advancing IoT
technology. While highlighting topics including traffic information
systems, home security, and automatic parking, this book is ideally
designed for network analysts, telecommunication system designers,
engineers, academicians, technology specialists, practitioners,
researchers, students, and software developers seeking current
research on the trends and functions of this life-changing
technology.

In today's digital world, the huge amount of data being generated
is unstructured, messy, and chaotic in nature. Dealing with such
data, and attempting to unfold the meaningful information, can be a
challenging task. Feature engineering is a process to transform
such data into a suitable form that better assists with
interpretation and visualization. Through this method, the
transformed data is more transparent to the machine learning
models, which in turn causes better prediction and analysis of
results. Data science is crucial for the data scientist to assess
the trade-offs of their decisions regarding the effectiveness of
the machine learning model implemented. Investigating the demand in
this area today and in the future is a necessity. The Handbook of
Research on Automated Feature Engineering and Advanced Applications
in Data Science provides an in-depth analysis on both the
theoretical and the latest empirical research findings on how
features can be extracted and transformed from raw data. The
chapters will introduce feature engineering and the recent
concepts, methods, and applications with the use of various data
types, as well as examine the latest machine learning applications
on the data. While highlighting topics such as detection, tracking,
selection techniques, and prediction models using data science,
this book is ideally intended for research scholars, big data
scientists, project developers, data analysts, and computer
scientists along with practitioners, researchers, academicians, and
students interested in feature engineering and its impact on data.
The Art of Subtraction is the first full-length study on the CD-ROM
as a creative platform. Bruno Lessard traces the rise and
relatively rapid fall of the CD-ROM in the 1980s and 1990s and its
impact as a creative platform for media artists such as Jean-Louis
Boissier, Zoe Beloff, Adriene Jenik, and Chris Marker. Although the
CD-ROM was not a lasting commercial success it was a vibrant medium
that allowed for experimentation in adapting literary works.
Building on the work of Gilles Deleuze and Michele Foucault,
Lessard establishes a comparative framework for linking digital
adaptations with innovative concepts such as 'subtractive
adaptation' and the 'object image' that will be of interest to
researchers examining literary adaptations on other digital
platforms such as websites, smart phones, tablets, and digital
games. The Art of Subtraction is a fascinating study of
intermediality in the late twentieth century and it provides the
first chapter in the yet unwritten history of digital adaptation.
Advances in Computers, the latest volume in the series published
since 1960, presents detailed coverage of innovations in computer
hardware, software, theory, design, and applications. In addition,
it provides contributors with a medium in which they can explore
their subjects in greater depth and breadth than journal articles
usually allow. As a result, many articles have become standard
references that continue to be of significant, lasting value in
this rapidly expanding field.
