Knowledge Management is the process by which an organization
identifies, creates, manages and delivers information to enhance
workforce performance.KM is a discipline that promotes an
integrated approach to identifying, capturing, evaluating,
retrieving, and sharing all of an enterprise's information assets.
These assets may include databases, documents, policies,
procedures, and previously un-captured expertise and experience in
individual workers. All these issues are covered in thirty three s
in the book broadly divided into the following five sections.
Fundamentals of Knowledge Management, Latest Tools and Techniques
for Knowledge Management, Databases, Data mining, Knowledge
Discovery in Biotechnology and Bioinformatics, Data mining and
Knowledge Discovery in Agriculture and Allied Fields, Indigenous
Knowledge Protection and IPR Issues The book contains original
research and case studies by academic and research contributors on
strategies, tools, techniques and technologies for Knowledge
Management. The focus of this book is on the identification of
innovative KM strategies and the application of theoretical
concepts to real-world situations. This first serves as a complete
introduction to the concepts and principles of KM, starting with
basics of data, information, knowledge and wisdom. Clarified
differences among Explicit, Implicit and Tacit Knowledge. The book
also covers traditional KM approaches as well as emerging topics
such as cloud computing, Semantic Web, Rough Computing, Fuzzy
logic, Artificial intelligence, Machine learning, social networks,
Tools and Techniques for Geo Spatial Data Knowledge Discovery. The
focus of the book is on how KM impacts organizations and
individuals and steps that should be taken to maximize benefits,
including directions for how to select, develop, and evaluate KM
systems.
The gripping, behind-the scenes story of one of the most sophisticated surveillance weapons ever created – and an existential threat to democracy and human rights.
Pegasus is widely regarded as the most powerful cyber-surveillance system on the market – available to any government that can afford its multimillion-dollar price tag. The system’s creator, the NSO group, a private corporation headquartered in Israel, boasts about its ability to thwart terrorists and criminals.
But the Pegasus system doesn’t only catch terrorists and criminals.
Pegasus has been used by repressive regimes to spy on thousands of innocent people around the world: heads of state, diplomats, human rights defenders, lawyers, political opponents, and journalists.
Virtually undetectable, the system can track a person’s daily movement in real time, gain control of the device’s microphones and cameras at will, and capture all videos, photos, emails, texts, and passwords – encrypted or not. Its full reach is not even known.
This is the gripping story of how Pegasus was uncovered, written by Laurent Richard and Sandrine Rigaud, the two intrepid reporters who revealed the scandal in collaboration with an international consortium of journalists. Their findings shook the world.
Tense and compelling, Pegasus reveals how thousands of lives have been turned upside down by this unprecedented threat, and exposes the chilling new ways governments and corporations are laying waste to human rights – and silencing innocent citizens.

The second in the Women Securing the Future with TIPPSS series,
this book provides insight and expert advice from seventeen women
leaders in technology, healthcare and policy to address the
challenges of Trust, Identity, Privacy, Protection, Safety and
Security (TIPPSS) for connected healthcare, and the growing
Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) ecosystem. The ten chapters in
this book delve into trust, security and privacy risks in connected
healthcare for patients, medical devices, personal and clinical
data, healthcare providers and institutions, and provide practical
approaches to manage and protect the data, devices, and humans.
Cybersecurity, technology and legal experts discuss risks, from
data and device hacks to ransomware, and propose approaches to
address the challenges including new frameworks for architecting
and evaluating medical device and connected hospital cybersecurity.
We all need to be aware of the TIPPSS challenges in connected
healthcare, and we call upon engineers, device manufacturers,
system developers and healthcare providers to ensure trust and
manage the risk. Featuring contributions from prominent female
experts and role models in technology, cybersecurity, engineering,
computer science, data science, business, healthcare,
accessibility, research, law, privacy and policy, this book sets
the stage to improve security and safety in our increasingly
connected world.
This book gives a review of the principles, methods and techniques
of important and emerging research topics and technologies in
Channel Coding, including theory, algorithms, and applications.
Edited by leading people in the field who, through their
reputation, have been able to commission experts to write on a
particular topic. With this reference source you will: Quickly

Autonomic networking aims to solve the mounting problems created by
increasingly complex networks, by enabling devices and
service-providers to decide, preferably without human intervention,
what to do at any given moment, and ultimately to create
self-managing networks that can interface with each other, adapting
their behavior to provide the best service to the end-user in all
situations. This book gives both an understanding and an assessment
of the principles, methods and architectures in autonomous network
management, as well as lessons learned from, the ongoing
initiatives in the field. It includes contributions from industry
groups at Orange Labs, Motorola, Ericsson, the ANA EU Project and
leading universities. These groups all provide chapters examining
the international research projects to which they are contributing,
such as the EU Autonomic Network Architecture Project and Ambient
Networks EU Project, reviewing current developments and
demonstrating how autonomic management principles are used to
define new architectures, models, protocols, and mechanisms for
future network equipment.
With the advent of wavelength routing and dynamic, reconfigurable
optical networks, new demands are being made in the design and
operation of optical amplifiers. This book provides, for the first
time, a comprehensive review of optical amplifier technology in the
context of these recent advances in the field. It demonstrates how
to manage the trade-offs between amplifier design, network
architecture and system management and operation. The book provides
an overview of optical amplifiers and reconfigurable networks
before examining in greater detail the issues of importance to
network operators and equipment manufacturers, including 40G and
100G transmission. Optical amplifier design is fully considered,
focusing on fundamentals, design solutions and amplifier
performance limitations. Finally, the book discusses other emerging
applications for optical amplifiers such as optical networks for
high data rate systems, free space systems, long single span links
and optical digital networks. This book will be of great value to
R&D engineers, network and systems engineers,
telecommunications service providers, component suppliers, industry
analysts, network operators, postgraduate students, academics and
anyone seeking to understand emerging trends in optical networks
