This book presents the first paradigm of social multimedia computing completely from the user perspective. Different from traditional multimedia and web multimedia computing which are content-centric, social multimedia computing rises under the participatory Web2.0 and is essentially user-centric. The goal of this book is to emphasize the user factor in facilitating effective solutions towards both multimedia content analysis, user modeling and customized user services. Advanced topics like cross-network social multimedia computing are also introduced as extensions and potential directions along this research line.

Businesses constantly face online hacking threats or security breaches in their online mainframe that expose sensitive information to the wrong audience. Companies look to store their data in a separate location, distancing the availability of the information and reducing the risk of data breaches. Modern organizations need to remain vigilant against insider attacks, cloud computing risks, and security flaws within their mainframe. Detection and Mitigation of Insider Attacks in a Cloud Infrastructure: Emerging Research and Opportunities is an essential reference source that discusses maintaining a secure management of sensitive data, and intellectual property and provides a robust security algorithm on consumer data. Featuring research on topics such as public cryptography, security principles, and trustworthy computing, this book is ideally designed for IT professionals, business managers, researchers, students, and professionals seeking coverage on preventing and detecting the insider attacks using trusted cloud computing techniques.
Social networks and online communities are reshaping the way people communicate, both in their personal and professional lives. What makes some succeed and others fail? What draws a user in? What makes them join? What keeps them coming back? Entrepreneurs and businesses are turning to user experience practitioners to figure this out. Though they are well-equipped to evaluate and create a variety of interfaces, social networks require a different set of design principles and ways of thinking about the user in order to be successful. Design to Thrive presents tried and tested design methodologies,
based on the author s decades of research, to ensure successful and
sustainable online communities -- whether a wiki for employees to
share procedures and best practices or for the next Facebook. The
book describes four criteria, called"RIBS," which are necessary to
the design of a successful and sustainable online community. These
concepts provide designers with the tools they need to generate
informed creative and productive design ideas, to think proactively
about the communities they are building or maintaining, and to
design communities that encourage users to actively
contribute. Contains real world stories from popular, well known communities to illustrate how the concepts work Features a companion online network that employs the techniques outlined in the book "
This title explores research on new techniques for the virtual enterprise operation, and has opened up new ideas on the design principles and operation approaches in order to maximize benefits and overcome limitations.

The main purpose of this book is to sum up the vital and highly topical research issue of knowledge representation on the Web and to discuss novel solutions by combining benefits of folksonomies and Web 2.0 approaches with ontologies and semantic technologies. The book contains an overview of knowledge representation approaches in past, present and future, introduction to ontologies, Web indexing and in first case the novel approaches of developing ontologies. combines aspects of knowledge representation for both the Semantic Web (ontologies) and the Web 2.0 (folksonomies). Currently there is no monographic book which provides a combined overview over these topics. focus on the topic of using knowledge representation methods for document indexing purposes. For this purpose, considerations from classical librarian interests in knowledge representation (thesauri, classification schemes etc.) are included, which are not part of most other books which have a stronger background in computer science.
Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) was conceived in 1996 as a
signaling protocol for inviting users to multimedia conferences.
With this development, the next big Internet revolution silently
started. That was the revolution which would end up converting the
Internet into a total communication system which would allow people
to talk to each other, see each other, work collaboratively or send
messages in real time. Internet telephony and, in general, Internet
multimedia, is the new revolution today and SIP is the key protocol
which allows this revolution to grow. |
