Ralph Moseley
R3,906 Discovery Miles 39 060 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Cybersecurity is an extremely important area which is rapidly evolving, necessarily, to meet current and future threats. Anyone who studies within this domain requires a particular skillset and way of thinking, balancing technical knowledge and human insight. It is vital to recognize both sides of this complex area and integrate the two. This book looks at the technical fields progressively, building up in layers before expanding into more advanced topics. Each area is looked at succinctly, describing the main elements and problems in each area and reinforcing these concepts with practical coding examples, questions and ideas for further research. The book builds on an overview of basic architecture of systems and networks, setting a context for how information is vulnerable. Cryptography is explained in detail with examples, showing the steady progress in this area over time through to the possibilities of quantum encryption. Steganography is also explained, showing how this can be used in a modern-day context through multimedia and even Virtual Reality. A large section of the book is given to the technical side of hacking, how such attacks occur, how they can be avoided and what to do after there has been an intrusion of some description. Cyber countermeasures are explored, along with automated systems of defense, whether created by the programmer or through firewalls and suchlike. The human aspect of cyber security is detailed along with the psychology and motivations for launching attacks. Social engineering is focused on and with the various techniques looked at - revealing how an informed individual, organization or workplace can protect themselves against incursions and breaches. Finally, there is a look the latest developments in the field, and how systems, such as the IoT are being protected.

Common Data Sense for Professionals - A Process-Oriented Approach for Data-Science Projects (Hardcover): Rajesh Jugulum Common Data Sense for Professionals - A Process-Oriented Approach for Data-Science Projects (Hardcover)
Rajesh Jugulum
R3,316 Discovery Miles 33 160 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Data is an intrinsic part of our daily lives. Everything we do is a data point. Many of these data points are recorded with the intent to help us lead more efficient lives. We have apps that track our workouts, sleep, food intake, and personal finance. We use the data to make changes to our lives based on goals we have set for ourselves. Businesses use vast collections of data to determine strategy and marketing. Data scientists take data, analyze it, and create models to help solve problems. You may have heard of companies having data management teams or chief information officers (CIOs) or chief data officers (CDOs), etc. They are all people who work with data, but their function is more related to vetting data and preparing it for use by data scientists. The jump from personal data usage for self-betterment to mass data analysis for business process improvement often feels bigger to us than it is. In turn, we often think big data analysis requires tools held only by advanced degree holders. Although advanced degrees are certainly valuable, this book illustrates how it is not a requirement to adequately run a data science project. Because we are all already data users, with some simple strategies and exposure to basic analytical software programs, anyone who has the proper tools and determination can solve data science problems. The process presented in this book will help empower individuals to work on and solve data-related challenges. The goal of this book is to provide a step-by-step guide to the data science process so that you can feel confident in leading your own data science project. To aid with clarity and understanding, the author presents a fictional restaurant chain to use as a case study, illustrating how the various topics discussed can be applied. Essentially, this book helps traditional businesspeople solve data-related problems on their own without any hesitation or fear. The powerful methods are presented in the form of conversations, examples, and case studies. The conversational style is engaging and provides clarity.

Swarm Intelligence Algorithms - Modifications and Applications (Paperback): Adam Slowik Swarm Intelligence Algorithms - Modifications and Applications (Paperback)
Adam Slowik
R1,503 Discovery Miles 15 030 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Nature-based algorithms play an important role among artificial intelligence algorithms. Among them are global optimization algorithms called swarm intelligence algorithms. These algorithms that use the behavior of simple agents and various ways of cooperation between them, are used to solve specific problems that are defined by the so-called objective function. Swarm intelligence algorithms are inspired by the social behavior of various animal species, e.g. ant colonies, bird flocks, bee swarms, schools of fish, etc. The family of these algorithms is very large and additionally includes various types of modifications to enable swarm intelligence algorithms to solve problems dealing with areas other than those for which they were originally developed. This book presents 24 swarm algorithms together with their modifications and practical applications. Each chapter is devoted to one algorithm. It contains a short description along with a pseudo-code showing the various stages of its operation. In addition, each chapter contains a description of selected modifications of the algorithm and shows how it can be used to solve a selected practical problem. This book should also be useful for undergraduate and postgraduate students studying nature-based optimization algorithms, and can be a helpful tool for learning these algorithms, along with their modifications and practical applications. In addition, it can be a useful source of knowledge for scientists working in the field of artificial intelligence, as well as for engineers interested in using this type of algorithms in their work. If the reader wishes to expand his knowledge beyond the basics of swarm intelligence algorithms presented in this book and is interested in more detailed information, we recommend the book "Swarm Intelligence Algorithms: A Tutorial" (Edited by A. Slowik, CRC Press, 2020). It contains a detailed explanation of how each algorithm works, along with relevant program codes in Matlab and the C ++ programming language, as well as numerical examples illustrating step-by-step how individual algorithms work.

R3,929 Discovery Miles 39 290 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Technology has always played a central role in international politics; it shapes the ways states fight during wartime and compete during peacetime. Today, rapid advancements have contributed to a widespread sense that the world is again on the precipice of a new technological era. Emerging technologies have inspired much speculative commentary, but academic scholarship can improve the discussion with disciplined theory-building and rigorous empirics. This book aims to contribute to the debate by exploring the role of technology - both military and non-military - in shaping international security. Specifically, the contributors to this edited volume aim to generate new theoretical insights into the relationship between technology and strategic stability, test them with sound empirical methods, and derive their implications for the coming technological age. This book is very novel in its approach. It covers a wide range of technologies, both old and new, rather than emphasizing a single technology. Furthermore, this volume looks at how new technologies might affect the broader dynamics of the international system rather than limiting the focus to a stability. The contributions to this volume walk readers through the likely effects of emerging technologies at each phase of the conflict process. The chapters begin with competition in peacetime, move to deterrence and coercion, and then explore the dynamics of crises, the outbreak of conflict, and war escalation in an environment of emerging technologies. The chapters in this book, except for the Introduction and the Conclusion, were originally published in the Journal of Strategic Studies.

Observability and Mathematics - Fluid Mechanics, Solutions of Navier-Stokes Equations, and Modeling (Hardcover): Boris Khots Observability and Mathematics - Fluid Mechanics, Solutions of Navier-Stokes Equations, and Modeling (Hardcover)
Boris Khots
R3,016 Discovery Miles 30 160 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

The author approaches an old classic problem - the existence of solutions of Navier-Stokes equations. The main objective is to model and derive of equation of continuity, Euler equation of fluid motion, energy flux equation, Navier-Stokes equations from the observer point of view and solve classic problem for this interpretation of fluid motion laws. If we have a piece of metal or a volume of liquid, the idea impresses itself upon us that it is divisible without limit, that any part of it, however small, would again have the same properties. But, wherever the methods of research in the physics of matter were refined sufficiently, limits to divisibility were reached that are not due to the inadequacy of our experiments but to the nature of the subject matter. Observability in mathematics were developed by the author based on denial of infinity idea. He introduces observers into arithmetic, and arithmetic becomes dependent on observers. And after that the basic mathematical parts also become dependent on observers. This approach permits to reconsider the fluid motion laws, analyze them and get solutions of classic problems. Table of Contents 1. Introduction. 2. Observability and Arithmetic. 3. Observability and Vector Algebra. 4. Observability and Mathematical Analysis (Calculus). 5. Classic Fluid Mechanics equations and Observability. 6. Observability and Thermodynamical equations. 7. Observability and equation of continuity. 8.

Cyberspace is changing the face of crime. For criminals it has become a place for rich collaboration and learning, not just within one country; and a place where new kinds of crimes can be carried out, and a vehicle for committing conventional crimes with unprecedented range, scale, and speed. Law enforcement faces a challenge in keeping up and dealing with this new environment. The news is not all bad - collecting and analyzing data about criminals and their activities can provide new levels of insight into what they are doing and how they are doing it. However, using data analytics requires a change of process and new skills that (so far) many law enforcement organizations have had difficulty leveraging. Cyberspace, Data Analytics, and Policing surveys the changes that cyberspace has brought to criminality and to policing with enough technical content to expose the issues and suggest ways in which law enforcement organizations can adapt. Key Features: Provides a non-technical but robust overview of how cyberspace enables new kinds of crime and changes existing crimes. Describes how criminals exploit the ability to communicate globally to learn, form groups, and acquire cybertools. Describes how law enforcement can use the ability to collect data and apply analytics to better protect society and to discover and prosecute criminals. Provides examples from open-source data of how hot spot and intelligence-led policing can benefit law enforcement. Describes how law enforcement can exploit the ability to communicate globally to collaborate in dealing with trans-national crime.

Thanks to rapid technological developments in terms of Computational Intelligence, smart tools have been playing active roles in daily life. It is clear that the 21st century has brought about many advantages in using high-level computation and communication solutions to deal with real-world problems; however, more technologies bring more changes to society. In this sense, the concept of smart cities has been a widely discussed topic in terms of society and Artificial Intelligence-oriented research efforts. The rise of smart cities is a transformation of both community and technology use habits, and there are many different research orientations to shape a better future. The objective of this book is to focus on Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) in smart city development. As recently designed, advanced smart systems require intense use of complex computational solutions (i.e., Deep Learning, Big Data, IoT architectures), the mechanisms of these systems become 'black-box' to users. As this means that there is no clear clue about what is going on within these systems, anxieties regarding ensuring trustworthy tools also rise. In recent years, attempts have been made to solve this issue with the additional use of XAI methods to improve transparency levels. This book provides a timely, global reference source about cutting-edge research efforts to ensure the XAI factor in smart city-oriented developments. The book includes both positive and negative outcomes, as well as future insights and the societal and technical aspects of XAI-based smart city research efforts. This book contains nineteen contributions beginning with a presentation of the background of XAI techniques and sustainable smart-city applications. It then continues with chapters discussing XAI for Smart Healthcare, Smart Education, Smart Transportation, Smart Environment, Smart Urbanization and Governance, and Cyber Security for Smart Cities.
