It provides relevant theoretical frameworks and the latest empirical research findings in the area of multimedia forensics and content integrity. Covering topics such as 3D data security, copyright protection, and watermarking, this major reference work is a comprehensive resource for security analysts, programmers, technology developers, IT professionals, students and educators of higher education, librarians, researchers, and academicians.

Chatbots offer exceptional services to end-users due to various factors including the ability to respond to customers' requests quickly according to their convenience. Given the magnitude of research and interest in chatbots, further study on several vital and evolving concerns including human-bot interaction, chatbot adoption, chatbot architecture and design considerations, and chatbot evaluation is required to ensure the technology is utilized appropriately. Trends, Applications, and Challenges of Chatbot Technology provides novel research content and reviews of current chatbot technology and sheds light on challenges and open questions as well as possible research directions. Covering key topics such as human-computer interaction, customer support, and algorithms, this reference work is ideal for computer scientists, industry professionals, policymakers, researchers, academicians, practitioners, scholars, instructors, and students.

In "SOA and Web Services Interface Design," data architecture guru James Bean teaches you how to design web service interfaces that are capable of being extended to accommodate ever changing business needs and promote incorporation simplicity. The book first provides an overview of critical SOA principles, thereby offering a basic conceptual summary.It then provides explicit, tactical, and real-world techniques for ensuring compliance with these principles. Using a focused, tutorial-based approach the book provides working syntactical examples - described by Web services standards such as XML, XML Schemas, WSDL and SOAP - that can be used to directly implement interface design procedures, thus allowing you immediately generate value from your efforts. In summary, "SOA and Web Services Interface Design" provides the basic theory, but also design techniques and very specific implementable encoded interface examples that can be immediately employed in your work, making it an invaluable practical guide to any practitioner in today's exploding Web-based service market.
Provides chapters on topics of introductory WSDL syntax and XML Schema syntax, taking take the reader through fundamental concepts and into deeper techniques and allowing them to quickly climb the learning curve.Provides working syntactical examples - described by Web services standards such as XML, XML Schemas, WSDL and SOAP - that can be used to directly implement interface design procedures.Real-world examples generated using the Altova XML Spy tooling reinforce applicability, allowing you to immediately generate value from their efforts.A companion website with all artwork and code examples accompanies the book (http: //www.elsevierdirect.com/v2/companion.jsp?ISBN=9780123748911)

With the advancement of technology in the modern world, the constant influx of data, information, and computing can become droning and one-dimensional. Re-examining these methods through a different approach helps highlight broader perspectives and further understanding. Applying abstract and holistic methods, such as nature and visualization, to computing technologies is a developing area of study but has yet to be empirically researched. Graphical Thinking for Science and Technology Through Knowledge Visualization provides emerging research exploring the theoretical and practical aspects of implementing visuals and images within data and information. The text contains projects, examples of students' solutions, and invites the reader to apply graphical thinking. Featuring coverage on a broad range of topics such as nanoscale structures, computer graphics, and data visualization, this book is ideally designed for software engineers, instructional designers, researchers, scientists, artists, marketers, media professionals, and students seeking current research on applying artistic solutions within information and computing.

As the Internet has become more pervasive, information disseminated through the Web grows in an exponential rate, creating a call for more universal design so more people from different backgrounds are able to access this information. ""Advances in Universal Web Design and Evaluation: Research, Trends and Opportunities"" covers various aspects of universal Web design from disabilities to cultural differences, including various aspects of Web design: prototyping, analysis, and evaluation with an emphasis on universal and inclusive design. ""Advances in Universal Web Design and Evaluation: Research, Trends and Opportunities"" highlights several prominent issues in this area such as ageing and gender issues and provides the basis of a framework for the development and evaluation of Web sites for people with special needs.

Service Design is an eminently practical guide to designing services that work for people. It offers powerful insights, methods, and case studies to help you design, implement, and measure multichannel service experiences with greater impact for customers, businesses, and society.

As the complexity and importance of web activity multiplies, the success of any endeavor depends on utilizing the most advanced intelligent techniques when designing tools for the modern age. E-Activity and Intelligent Web Construction: Effects of Social Design presents the crux of the interdisciplinary concerns of meshing artificial intelligence and web technologies for maximizing the effectiveness of the available technologies. From business value and e-innovation to 3D modeling and infrastructure construction, this book delves into the research defining the web technologies of the future and the possibilities represented by each advance in this field.

Portals and Service Oriented Architecture in general are important areas of study given the growing complexity of modern technology systems. A Portal provides a means of presenting information in an on-line environment. Portals today are widely associated with the World Wide Web. New Generation of Portal Software and Engineering: Emerging Technologies presents a strong understanding of Portals, SOA, the published research in these fields, as well providing an enterprise-based experience of factors that challenge implementation of Portal and SOA projects in practice. This book includes a balance of background information, summarizing the state of a particular area, and new research that is previously unpublished. These include trends in Portal technology, Service Oriented Architecture, Business issues in Portal and SOA uptake, among others.
