Hidden semi-Markov models (HSMMs) are among the most important
models in the area of artificial intelligence / machine learning.
Since the first HSMM was introduced in 1980 for machine recognition
of speech, three other HSMMs have been proposed, with various
definitions of duration and observation distributions. Those models
have different expressions, algorithms, computational complexities,
and applicable areas, without explicitly interchangeable forms.
Hidden Semi-Markov Models: Theory, Algorithms and Applications
provides a unified and foundational approach to HSMMs, including
various HSMMs (such as the explicit duration, variable transition,
and residential time of HSMMs), inference and estimation
algorithms, implementation methods and application instances. Learn
new developments and state-of-the-art emerging topics as they
relate to HSMMs, presented with examples drawn from medicine,
engineering and computer science.

Since its first volume in 1960, Advances in Computers has presented
detailed coverage of innovations in computer hardware, software,
theory, design, and applications. It has also provided 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.
Despite advancements in technological and engineering fields, there
is still a digital gender divide in the adoption, use, and
development of information communication technology (ICT) services.
This divide is also evident in educational environments and
careers, specifically in the STEM fields. In order to mitigate this
divide, policy approaches must be addressed and improved in order
to encourage the inclusion of women in ICT disciplines. Gender Gaps
and the Social Inclusion Movement in ICT provides emerging research
exploring the theoretical and practical aspects of gender and
policy from developed and developing country perspectives and its
applications within ICT through various forms of research including
case studies. Featuring coverage on a broad range of topics such as
digital identity, human rights, and social inclusion, this book is
ideally designed for policymakers, academicians, researchers,
students, and technology developers seeking current research on
gender inequality in ICT environments.
Communities of Computing is the first book-length history of the
Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), founded in 1947 and with
a membership today of 100,000 worldwide. It profiles ACM's notable
SIGs, active chapters, and individual members, setting ACM's
history into a rich social and political context. The book's 12
core chapters are organized into three thematic sections. "Defining
the Discipline" examines the 1960s and 1970s when the field of
computer science was taking form at the National Science
Foundation, Stanford University, and through ACM's notable efforts
in education and curriculum standards. "Broadening the Profession"
looks outward into the wider society as ACM engaged with social and
political issues - and as members struggled with balancing a focus
on scientific issues and awareness of the wider world. Chapters
examine the social turbulence surrounding the Vietnam War, debates
about the women's movement, efforts for computing and community
education, and international issues including professionalization
and the Cold War. "Expanding Research Frontiers" profiles three
areas of research activity where ACM members and ACM itself shaped
notable advances in computing, including computer graphics,
computer security, and hypertext. Featuring insightful profiles of
notable ACM leaders, such as Edmund Berkeley, George Forsythe, Jean
Sammet, Peter Denning, and Kelly Gotlieb, and honest assessments of
controversial episodes, the volume deals with compelling and
complex issues involving ACM and computing. It is not a narrow
organizational history of ACM committees and SIGS, although much
information about them is given. All chapters are original works of
research. Many chapters draw on archival records of ACM's
headquarters, ACM SIGs, and ACM leaders. This volume makes a
permanent contribution to documenting the history of ACM and
understanding its central role in the history of computing.

'Rana el Kaliouby's vision for how technology should work in
parallel with empathy is bold, inspired and hopeful' Arianna
Huffington, founder and CEO of Thrive Global 'This lucid and
captivating book by a renowned pioneer of emotion-AI tackles one of
the most pressing issues of our time: How can we ensure a future
where this technology empowers rather than surveils and manipulates
us?' Max Tegmark, professor of physics at Massachusetts Institute
of Technology and author of Life 3.0 We are entering an empathy
crisis. Most of our communication is conveyed through non-verbal
cues - facial expressions, tone of voice, body language - nuances
that are completely lost when we interact through our smartphones
and other technology. The result is a digital universe that's
emotion-blind - a society lacking in empathy. Rana el Kaliouby
discovered this when she left Cairo, a newly-married, Muslim woman,
to take up her place at Cambridge University to study computer
science. Many thousands of miles from home, she began to develop
systems to help her better connect with her family. She started to
pioneer the new field of Emotional Intelligence (EI). She now runs
her company, Affectiva (the industry-leader in this emerging field)
that builds EI into our technology and develops systems that
understand humans the way we understand one another. In a
captivating memoir, Girl Decoded chronicles el Kaliouby's mission
to humanise technology and what she learns about humanity along the
way.
This book introduces the properties of conservative extensions of
First Order Logic (FOL) to new Intensional First Order Logic
(IFOL). This extension allows for intensional semantics to be used
for concepts, thus affording new and more intelligent IT systems.
Insofar as it is conservative, it preserves software applications
and constitutes a fundamental advance relative to the current RDB
databases, Big Data with NewSQL, Constraint databases, P2P systems,
and Semantic Web applications. Moreover, the many-valued version of
IFOL can support the AI applications based on many-valued logics.

The book collects 3 years of researches in the penetration testing
security field. It does not describe underground or fancy
techniques, it is most focused on the state of the art in
penetration testing methodologies. In other words, if you need to
test a system, how do you do ? What is the first step ? What tools
can be used ? what is the path to follow in order to find flaws ?
The book shows many real world examples on how the described
methodology has been used. For example: penetration testing on
electronic voting machines, how malware did use the describe
methodology to bypass common security mechanisms and attacks to
reputation systems.
