Gathering insightful and stimulating contributions from leading
global experts in Artificial Intelligence in Education (AIED), this
comprehensive Handbook traces the development of AIED from its
early foundations in the 1970s to the present day. The Handbook
evaluates the use of AI techniques such as modelling in closed and
open domains, machine learning, analytics, language understanding
and production to create systems aimed at helping learners,
teachers, and educational administrators. Chapters examine theories
of affect, metacognition and pedagogy applied in AIED systems;
foundational aspects of AIED architecture, design, authoring and
evaluation; and collaborative learning, the use of games and
psychomotor learning. It concludes with a critical discussion of
the wider context of Artificial Intelligence in Education,
examining its commercialisation, social and political role, and the
ethics of its systems, as well as reviewing the possible challenges
and opportunities for AIED in the next 20 years. Providing a broad
yet detailed account of the current field of Artificial
Intelligence in Education, researchers and advanced students of
education technology, innovation policy, and university management

Is competition law able to deal with algorithmic collusion? This
evaluative book provides an insight into tackling this important
question for competition law, with contrasting critical
perspectives, including theoretical, empirical, and doctrinal –
the latter frequently from a comparative perspective. Bringing
together scholarly discussion on algorithmic collusion, the book
questions whether competition law is adeptly equipped to deal with
its various facets. With a comprehensive overview of the recent
literature on algorithmic collusion, chapters offer a critical
appraisal of the effectiveness of competition law to deal with
algorithmic collusion. Covering a unique collection of legal,
theoretical, and experimental case studies, it initiates debate
among legal scholars for a better understanding of the data upon
which algorithms decide prices. With a comparative identification
of both the potentialities and limitations of competition law in
relation to algorithmic collusion, this book will be of key value
to students and scholars of competition law, economics and finance.
It will also be an invaluable resource for legal practitioners and
policy makers in the field.
The Business Analysts completely dissolves the perception that the IT industry dictates to businesses what IT systems they will use and dispels the myth that business users and IT technicians are from different planets. It suggests how to create an environment in which everybody works together in an exciting and refreshing way – a paradigm shift in the way business analysis projects are done.
The IT industry has to move to a point where it realises that the users of IT systems and the technical personnel are both equally responsible for getting the system to work. The users of the IT system should be an integral part of the team when the system is being put together. This, unfortunately, is not the norm within the industry. It is the business analyst’s responsibility, among others, to make sure that communication flows freely between all the parties involved.
This book gives the business analyst the tools and techniques to find out what the business users of IT systems really need and to guide the project to meet those needs.

The gripping, behind-the scenes story of one of the most sophisticated surveillance weapons ever created, which is threatening democracy and human rights.
Pegasus is widely regarded as the most powerful cyber-surveillance system on the market – available to any government that can afford its multimillion-dollar price tag. The system’s creator, the NSO group, a private corporation headquartered in Israel, boasts about its ability to thwart terrorists and criminals: ‘Thousands of people in Europe owe their lives to hundreds of our company employees’, they declared in 2019. That may be true – but the Pegasus system doesn’t just catch bad guys.
Pegasus has been used by repressive regimes to spy on thousands of innocent people around the world: heads of state, diplomats, human rights defenders, lawyers, political opponents, and journalists. Virtually undetectable, the system can track a person’s daily movement in real time, gain control of the device’s microphones and cameras at will, and capture all videos, photos, emails, texts, and passwords – encrypted or not. Its full reach is not even known.
This is the gripping story of how Pegasus was uncovered, written by Laurent Richard and Sandrine Rigaud, the two intrepid reporters who revealed the scandal in collaboration with an international consortium of journalists. They received a leaked list of 50,000 mobile phone numbers, but they needed to prove NSO’s involvement. After a dangerous and secretive investigation spanning the globe, their findings shook the world. Tense and compelling, Pegasus reveals how thousands of lives have been turned upside down by this unprecedented threat, and exposes the chilling new ways governments and corporations are laying waste to human rights – and silencing innocent citizens.
Presenting innovative modelling approaches to the analysis of
fiscal policy and government debt, this book moves beyond previous
models that have relied upon the assumption that various
age-specific rates and policy variables remain unchanged when it
comes to generating government expenditures and tax revenues. As a
result of population ageing, current policy settings in many
countries are projected to lead to unsustainable levels of public
debt; Tax Policy and Uncertainty explores models that allow for
feedbacks and uncertainty to combat this. Applicable to any
country, the models in the book explore the optimal timing and
extent of tax changes in the face of anticipated high future debt.
Chapters produce stochastic debt projections, including probability
distribution of debt ratios at each point in time. It also offers
important analysis of fiscal policy trade-offs as well as providing
advice on when and by how much tax rates should be increased.
Economics scholars focusing on fiscal policy will appreciate the
improved models in this book that allow both for uncertainty and
feedback effects arising from responses to increased debt. It will
also be helpful to economic policy advisors and economists in
government departments.
Computational Legal Studies offers a visionary introduction to the
computational turn in law and the resulting emergence of the
computational legal studies field. It explores how computational
data creation, collection and analysis techniques are transforming
the way in which we comprehend and study the law, and the
implications that this has for the future of legal studies.
Featuring contributions from a diverse set of experts, this
thought-provoking book considers the implications of
computationally enabled research and the future trajectory of the
field. It discusses how technological, scientific and
methodological developments are not only making the traditional
practice of law more efficient but are also creating new
perspectives on the law and shaping how we understand it. Chapters
draw on a range of examples of computational legal research to
demonstrate how a wide variety of research methods, including
natural language processing, machine learning, agent-based
modelling, and network analysis, are transforming the relationship
between law and computation. This book will prove to be a
stimulating read for legal academics looking for a better
understanding of this emerging field and for law students
interested in new legal research techniques. It will also be a
valuable resource for legal firms and computational social
scientists interested in examining how law is adopting
computational methods.
