This volume sets out to analyse the relation between social media and politics by investigating the power of the internet and more specifically social media, in the political and social discourse. The volume collects original research on the use of social media in political campaigns, electoral marketing, riots and social revolutions, presenting a range of case studies from across the world as well as theoretical and methodological contributions. Examples that explore the use ofsocial media in electoral campaigns include, for instance, studies on the use of Face book in the 2012 US presidential campaign and in the 2011 Turkish general elections. The final section of the book debates the usage of Twitter and other Web 2.0 tools in mobilizing people for riots and revolutions, presenting and analysing recent events in Istanbul and Egypt, among others."

In today s businesses and society, social media continues to play a vital role in the transformation of communication into an interactive dialogue. The success of social media has encouraged the integration of these aspects in higher education teaching practices. Social Media in Higher Education: Teaching in Web 2.0 provides research on the pedagogical challenges faced in recent years in order to improve the understanding of social media in the educational systems. It will highlight the levels of education ranging from learning centered on the student to the collaboration between academic networks and organizations. This reference source is essential for practitioners, researchers, and students interested in gaining insight into educational institutions as well as academic communities and environments.

As web applications play a vital role in our society, social media has emerged as an important tool in the creation and exchange of user-generated content and social interaction. The benefits of these services have entered in the educational areas to become new means by which scholars communicate, collaborate, and teach. Social Media and the New Academic Environment: Pedagogical Challenges provides relevant theoretical frameworks and the latest research on social media and its challenges in the educational context. This book is essential for professionals aiming to improve their understanding of social media at different levels of education, as well as researchers in the fields of e-learning, educational science, information and communication sciences, and much more.

One of the best known general techniques for developing of the algorithms is the Backtracking method. It seeks to eliminate the generation of all possibilities in order to get the result. The Backtracking method can be applied to those problems for which the solution can be represented as a vector whose elements take values in some finite sets and who meet certain internal conditions. In the Backtracking method, the vector elements are expressed one at a time, assigning a value to a component will be done only after values have been assigned to all its previous components, and no incompatibilities exist between these values. Classical problems solved by this method are: queens' problem, Cartesian product generation, the generation of combinations, the 0-1 knapsack problem. The book is structured into 7 chapters and provides the solutions to a number of 19 classical problems by using versions of the backtracking algorithm. Most of the paragraphs are followed by a section with solved exercises and problems.

Our research aims, first of all, at reviewing the mathematical methods and computer science tools used by specialists in political science. The mathematical models and computerized systems are useful both to the political science researcher and the politician. Various problems of political science can be solved by making use of different mathematical, linguistic or computerized models. Secondly, our research aims at designing new and original methodological tools to facilitate a thorough and impartial analysis of any electoral campaign for local elections. We introduce the concepts of accord between political discourses, from three perspectives: themes, solutions, and political values. Also, we use graph theory for analyzing political discourses. Some problems (like minimal spanning tree or Hamiltonian cycle) will help us to analyze the political discourse. Also, graph theory can be a useful mathematical tool in analyzing the electoral platforms or political discourses, highlighting nuclei of interest and links between topics.

In this book it is presented the architecture of a intelligent system for teaching and checking of the acquisition of certain accounting competences. After presenting several didactic aspects of accounting education and the way in which computer assisted training can be used in learning accounting, we have reviewed the main concepts related to intelligent agents, pedagogic agents and multi-agent systems. The agents are grouped into subsystems. Each subsystem deals with one learning unit. These communicate among themselves in order to achieve the common purpose: the student's acquisition of accounting competences. Each subsystem is, in its turn, a multi-agent system made up of atomic agents with clearly specified didactic tasks: teaching, testing, assessment etc.

In the context of our research, the following questions arise: Can documentation services be automatized within online electronic resources? Can searches using search engines be automatized? Can online linguistic resources be automatically used? To what extent can distributed work, distributed team research be automatized? or How can we organize agents within a "virtual teacher"? How can we endow a "virtual teacher" with feelings or temperament? How can we extract pragmatic information from different texts? How can we more effectively represent certain notions from a given field? This book will answer such questions by creating a theoretical tool and implementing it as architectures of multi-agent systems.
