Event mining encompasses techniques for automatically and
efficiently extracting valuable knowledge from historical event/log
data. The field, therefore, plays an important role in data-driven
system management. Event Mining: Algorithms and Applications
presents state-of-the-art event mining approaches and applications
with a focus on computing system management. The book first
explains how to transform log data in disparate formats and
contents into a canonical form as well as how to optimize system
monitoring. It then shows how to extract useful knowledge from
data. It describes intelligent and efficient methods and algorithms
to perform data-driven pattern discovery and problem determination
for managing complex systems. The book also discusses data-driven
approaches for the detailed diagnosis of a system issue and
addresses the application of event summarization in Twitter
messages (tweets). Understanding the interdisciplinary field of
event mining can be challenging as it requires familiarity with
several research areas and the relevant literature is scattered in
diverse publications. This book makes it easier to explore the
field by providing both a good starting point for readers not
familiar with the topics and a comprehensive reference for those
already working in this area.
The research area of music information retrieval has gradually
evolved to address the challenges of effectively accessing and
interacting large collections of music and associated data, such as
styles, artists, lyrics, and reviews. Bringing together an
interdisciplinary array of top researchers, Music Data Mining
presents a variety of approaches to successfully employ data mining
techniques for the purpose of music processing. The book first
covers music data mining tasks and algorithms and audio feature
extraction, providing a framework for subsequent chapters. With a
focus on data classification, it then describes a computational
approach inspired by human auditory perception and examines
instrument recognition, the effects of music on moods and emotions,
and the connections between power laws and music aesthetics. Given
the importance of social aspects in understanding music, the text
addresses the use of the Web and peer-to-peer networks for both
music data mining and evaluating music mining tasks and algorithms.
It also discusses indexing with tags and explains how data can be
collected using online human computation games. The final chapters
offer a balanced exploration of hit song science as well as a look
at symbolic musicology and data mining. The multifaceted nature of
music information often requires algorithms and systems using
sophisticated signal processing and machine learning techniques to
better extract useful information. An excellent introduction to the
field, this volume presents state-of-the-art techniques in music
data mining and information retrieval to create novel ways of
interacting with large music collections.

This book is a valuable resource for those involved in translation
studies and discourse analysis. Drawing on a corpus-based approach
and a combined framework of Appraisal and Ideological Square, this
book investigates the variations in stance towards China and other
countries in the English translation of contemporary Chinese
political discourse. It presents research findings based on
comparisons and statistical analyses of the English translation
patterns of appraisal epithets, the most prototypical appraisal
resources for evaluation, in Chinese political discourse at both
lexico-grammatical and discourse semantic levels.

As the first book to introduce and analyze cultural studies in
contemporary China, this volume is an important resource for
Western scholars wishing to understand the rise and development of
cultural studies in China. Organized according to subject, it
includes extensive material examining the relationships between
culture and politics, as well as culture and institutions in
contemporary China. Further, it discusses the development of

This book offers a comprehensive introduction to Subdivision
Surface Modeling Technology focusing not only on fundamental
theories but also on practical applications. It furthers readers'
understanding of the contacts between spline surfaces and
subdivision surfaces, enabling them to master the Subdivision
Surface Modeling Technology for analyzing subdivision surfaces.
Subdivision surface modeling is a popular technology in the field
of computer aided design (CAD) and computer graphics (CG) thanks to
its ability to model meshes of any topology. The book also
discusses some typical Subdivision Surface Modeling Technologies,
such as interpolation, fitting, fairing, intersection, as well as
trimming and interactive editing. It is a valuable tool, enabling
readers to grasp the main technologies of subdivision surface
modeling and use them in software development, which in turn leads
to a better understanding of CAD/CG software operations.

RFID (radio frequency identification) tags are becoming
ubiquitously available in object tracking, access control, and toll
payment. The current application model treats tags simply as ID
carriers and deals with each tag individually for the purpose of
identifying the object that the tag is attached to. The uniqueness
of "RFID as an Infrastructure" is to change the traditional
individual view to a collective view that treats
universally-deployed tags as a new infrastructure, a new wireless
platform on which novel applications can be developed.
The book begins with an introduction to the problems of tag
estimation and information collection from RFID systems, and
explains the challenges. It discusses how to efficiently estimate
the number of tags in a large RFID system, considering both energy
cost and execution time. It then gives a detailed account on how to
collect information from a sensor-augmented RFID network with new
designs that significantly reduce execution time."
Traffic Measurement on the Internet presents several novel online
measurement methods that are compact and fast. Traffic measurement
provides critical real-world data for service providers and network
administrations to perform capacity planning, accounting and
billing, anomaly detection, and service provision. Statistical
methods play important roles in many measurement functions
including: system designing, model building, formula deriving, and
error analyzing. One of the greatest challenges in designing an
online measurement function is to minimize the per-packet
processing time in order to keep up with the line speed of the
modern routers. This book also introduces a challenging problem -
the measurement of per-flow information in high-speed networks, as
well as, the solution. The last chapter discusses
origin-destination flow measurement.

Which came first, the system or the chip? While integrated circuits
enable technology for the modern information age, computing,
communication, and network chips fuel it. As soon as the
integration ability of modern semiconductor technology offers
presents opportunities, issues in power consumption, reliability,
and form-factor present challenges. The demands of emerging
software applications can only be met with unique systems and
chips. Drawing on contributors from academia, research, and
industry, Unique Systems and Chips explores unique approaches to
designing future computing and communication chips and systems. The
book focuses on specialized hardware and systems as opposed to
general-purpose chips and systems. It covers early conception and
simulation, mid-development, application, testing, and performance.
The chapter authors introduce new ideas and innovations in unique
aspects of chips and system design, then go on to provide in-depth
analysis of these ideas. They explore ways in which these chips and
systems may be used in further designs or products, spurring
innovations beyond the intended scopes of those presented.
International in flavor, the book brings industrial and academic
perspectives into focus by presenting the full spectrum of
applications of chips and systems.
