Technological development is achievable only when a country has the
ability to systematically design and introduce its own new
technologies. In spite of the variety of studies regarding
technology management, there is still a lack of studies concerning
the principle concepts of technology management in the Middle
Eastern/North African (MENA) region's firms. The generally low
level of ICT diffusion in most of the region's countries widens the
gap between MENA countries and the modern world. Private Sector
Innovations and Technological Growth in the MENA Region provides
innovative insights into investments made for the digital
transformation of major cities in the region that have the
potential to become a significant driver for economic development
and job creation. Highlighting topics such as strategic planning,
risk analysis, and customer loyalty, this publication is designed
for policymakers, economists, academicians, researchers, business
professionals, and students interested in the use of ICT
integration for the advancement of the MENA region.

As society continues to heavily rely on software and databases, the
risks for cyberattacks have increased rapidly. As the dependence on
computers has become gradually widespread throughout communities
and governments, there is a need for cybersecurity programs that
can assist in protecting sizeable networks and significant amounts
of data at once. Implementing overarching security policies for
software systems is integral to protecting community-wide data from
harmful attacks. Establishing Cyber Security Programs Through the
Community Cyber Security Maturity Model (CCSMM) is an essential
reference source that discusses methods in applying sustainable
cybersecurity programs and policies within organizations,
governments, and other communities. Featuring research on topics
such as community engagement, incident planning methods, and
information sharing, this book is ideally designed for
cybersecurity professionals, security analysts, managers,
researchers, policymakers, students, practitioners, and
academicians seeking coverage on novel policies and programs in
cybersecurity implementation.
Computing has moved away from a focus on performance-centric serial
computation, instead towards energy-efficient parallel computation.
This provides continued performance increases without increasing
clock frequencies, and overcomes the thermal and power limitations
of the dark-silicon era. As the number of parallel cores increases,
we transition into the many-core computing era. There is
considerable interest in developing methods, tools, architectures
and applications to support many-core computing. The primary aim of
this edited book is to provide a timely and coherent account of the
recent advances in many-core computing research. Starting with
programming models, operating systems and their applications; the
authors present runtime management techniques, followed by system
modelling, verification and testing methods, and architectures and
systems. The book ends with some examples of innovative
applications.
Modern day and technology-rich environments require a
reconceptualization of how the nature of technology influences
urban areas. Rethinking the way we apply these technologies will
not only alter the way people communicate and interact, but it will
also alter how individuals learn and explore the world around them.
Ambient Urbanities as the Intersection Between the IoT and the IoP
in Smart Cities offers insights about the ambient in 21st century
smart cities, learning cities, responsive cities, and future
cities, and highlights the importance of people as critical to the
urban fabric of smart cities that are increasingly embedded with
pervasive and often invisible technologies. The book, based on an
urban research study, explores urbanity from multiple perspectives
ranging from the cultural to the geographic. While highlighting
topics including digital literacies, smarter governance, and
information architectures, this book is ideally designed for
students, educators, researchers, the business community, city
government staff and officials, urban practitioners, and those
concerned with contemporary and emerging complex urban challenges
and opportunities.
In the digital era, novel applications and techniques in the realm
of computer science are increasing constantly. These innovations
have led to new techniques and developments in the field of
cybernetics. The Handbook of Research on Applied Cybernetics and
Systems Science is an authoritative reference publication for the
latest scholarly information on complex concepts of more adaptive
and self-regulating systems. Featuring exhaustive coverage on a
variety of topics such as infectious disease modeling, clinical
imaging, and computational modeling, this publication is an ideal
source for researchers and students in the field of computer
science seeking emerging trends in computer science and
computational mathematics.
This story was totally fiction and the characters are fiction as
well. Some of the material used in this book was gleaned from
articles written about Osama Ben Laden; Afghanistan; the United
States Marine Corps; the Kennedy Assassination; the gas attack on
the Tokyo Subway system. A lot of the technical knowledge was taken
from magazine articles and articles on the Internet. A great
portion of the possible use of the computer for law enforcement was
part of the writer's imagination. It remains to be seen if a lot of
the technology mentioned in this story will come to fruition. The
advances of computer technology in the last few years have been so
astounding that it is hard to imagine what lies ahead for us. It
could become a golden age and one that can promote peace to the
world. It can be a boon to the Medical Profession as it already
has. We could be heading for a civilization where we don't have to
worry about crime or sickness or war. H G Wells wrote about time
travel. Even that is not as implausible as it once was. When the
writer was born, Space travel was talked of but no one thought that
there would ever be a modern Buck Rogers. Who ever imagined that we
would have six foot wide flat screen televisions broadcasting
events all over the world and from outer space. So the Technology
used by "Investicom" may not be so far fetched. Let's see.

Introduction to Computational Engineering with MATLAB (R) aims to
teach readers how to use MATLAB programming to solve numerical
engineering problems. The book focuses on computational engineering
with the objective of helping engineering students improve their
numerical problem-solving skills. The book cuts a middle path
between undergraduate texts that simply focus on programming and
advanced mathematical texts that skip over foundational concepts,
feature cryptic mathematical expressions, and do not provide
sufficient support for novices. Although this book covers some
advanced topics, readers do not need prior computer programming
experience or an advanced mathematical background. Instead, the
focus is on learning how to leverage the computer and software
environment to do the hard work. The problem areas discussed are
related to data-driven engineering, statistics, linear algebra, and
numerical methods. Some example problems discussed touch on
robotics, control systems, and machine learning. Features:
Demonstrates through algorithms and code segments how numeric
problems are solved with only a few lines of MATLAB code Quickly
teaches students the basics and gets them started programming
interesting problems as soon as possible No prior computer
programming experience or advanced math skills required Suitable
for students at undergraduate level who have prior knowledge of
college algebra, trigonometry, and are enrolled in Calculus I
MATLAB script files, functions, and datasets used in examples are
available for download from http://www.routledge.com/9781032221410.

Communicable diseases have been an important part of human history.
Epidemics afflicted populations, causing many deaths before
gradually fading away and emerging again years after. Epidemics of
infectious diseases are occurring more often, and spreading faster
and further than ever, in many different regions of the world. The
scientific community, in addition to its accelerated efforts to
develop an effective treatment and vaccination, is also playing an
important role in advising policymakers on possible
non-pharmacological approaches to limit the catastrophic impact of
epidemics using mathematical and machine learning models.
Controlling Epidemics With Mathematical and Machine Learning Models
provides mathematical and machine learning models for epidemical
diseases, with special attention given to the COVID-19 pandemic. It
gives mathematical proof of the stability and size of diseases.
Covering topics such as compartmental models, reproduction number,
and SIR model simulation, this premier reference source is an
essential resource for statisticians, government officials, health
professionals, epidemiologists, sociologists, students and
educators of higher education, librarians, researchers, and
academicians.
