Although the field of informal learning has much to contribute to the field of formal learning, these fields appear to be failing to synergize and balance to create the ideal education environment. Multiple Literacy and Science Education: ICTs in Formal and Informal Learning Environments explores the nature of various learning enlightenment mediums and their consequences within a classroom context to synchronize understanding within the schooling fields. This authoritative collection provides an overview of current research, practices, and evidence-based approaches regarding further development for best practices of multiple literacy teaching atmospheres.
Modern embedded systems require high performance, low cost and low power consumption. Such systems typically consist of a heterogeneous collection of processors, specialized memory subsystems, and partially programmable or fixed-function components. This heterogeneity, coupled with issues such as hardware/software partitioning, mapping, scheduling, etc., leads to a large number of design possibilities, making performance debugging and validation of such systems a difficult problem. Embedded systems are used to control safety critical
applications such as flight control, automotive electronics and
healthcare monitoring. Clearly, developing reliable
software/systems for such applications is of utmost importance.
This book describes a host of debugging and verification methods
which can help to achieve this goal.
This book introduces policy, government, and security professionals to the concept of "information warfare," covering its evolution over the last decade and its developments among such economic and political giants as China, Russia, Japan, India, and Singapore. The text describes various conceptions of information warfare, along with how they function in military, diplomatic, political, and economic contexts. Recent notable cyber attacks are analyzed, the challenges faced by countries who fail to secure their cyberspace (Japan, the US, etc.) are enumerated, and ways to distinguish between cybercrime, cyberwarfare, and cyberterrrorism are discussed.
With the prevalence of cyber crime and cyber warfare, software developers must be vigilant in creating systems which are impervious to cyber attacks. Thus, security issues are an integral part of every phase of software development and an essential component of software design. Security-Aware Systems Applications and Software Development Methods facilitates the promotion and understanding of the technical as well as managerial issues related to secure software systems and their development practices. This book, targeted toward researchers, software engineers, and field experts, outlines cutting-edge industry solutions in software engineering and security research to help overcome contemporary challenges.
Cellular Automata (CA) are a class of spatially and temporally discrete mathematical systems characterized by local interaction and synchronous dynamical evolution, which show complex behavior and are able to model biological phenomena. Cellular Automata and Complex Systems: Methods for Modeling Biological Phenomena describes the use of cellular automata to provide important insights into a vast range of physical, biological, social, economic and psychological phenomena. This book presents contemporary research on discrete dynamical systems such as one-dimensional and two-dimensional cellular automata and outlines how these systems can be exploited for artistic purposes, translating their mathematical configurations into music and visual media.

Containing expert international contributions by leading field researchers, this publication provides readers with the most relevant findings in the topic of enterprise information systems.
Early in recorded human history, the literacy rate was as low as one percent, and reading materials were available to only the elite. How times have changed In "Information Age Tales, " author Brad Bradford chronicles these changes, documenting how technology growth continues to change the world, upsetting the balance of power on almost every continent. "Information Age Tales" recaps the history of speech, languages, writing, and memory and describes how these revolutions paved the way for today's age of cyberspace. He shows how history may be repeating itself as knowledge-sharing information technology such as Facebook and Twitter have a global effect. Bradford presents an information technology trail that includes concepts such as the following: Water monkeys may have been our ancestors. Fearsome Mongol warriors played a positive role in the rise of Western Civilization. Hindus in India and the Arabs unveiled long-hidden numerical tools needed for modern science to emerge in the West. Interchangeable parts appear more than four centuries before Eli Whitney won his historic patent to manufacture muskets with them. "Information Age Tales" imparts stories revolving around the wonders of the written word and shows the role technology has played in the rise of past civilizations.
