The information infrastructure - comprising computers, embedded
devices, networks and software systems - is vital to operations in
every sector: inf- mation technology, telecommunications, energy,
banking and ?nance, tra- portation systems, chemicals, agriculture
and food, defense industrial base, public health and health care,
national monuments and icons, drinking water and water treatment
systems, commercial facilities, dams, emergency services,
commercial nuclear reactors, materials and waste, postal and
shipping, and government facilities. Global business and industry,
governments, indeed - ciety itself, cannot function if major
components of the critical information infrastructure are degraded,
disabled or destroyed. This book, Critical Infrastructure
Protection III, is the third volume in the
annualseriesproducedbyIFIP
WorkingGroup11.10onCriticalInfrastructure Protection, an active
international community of scientists, engineers, prac- tioners and
policy makers dedicated to advancing research, development and
implementation e?orts related to critical infrastructure
protection. The book presents original research results and
innovative applications in the area of infrastructure protection.
Also, it highlights the importance of weaving s- ence, technology
and policy in crafting sophisticated, yet practical, solutions that
will help secure information, computer and network assets in the
various critical infrastructure sectors. This volume contains
seventeen edited papers from the Third Annual IFIP Working Group
11.10 International Conference on Critical Infrastructure P-
tection, held at Dartmouth College, Hanover, New Hampshire, March
23-25, 2009. The papers were refereed by members of IFIP Working
Group 11.10 and other internationally-recognized experts in
critical infrastructure protection.
While formal training and communication are a foundational approach
to developing employees in the workplace, alternate reality games
(ARGs) provide a framework for increased and sustained engagement
within business organizations. ARGs are transmedia experiences
designed to generate engagement and immersive learning beyond what
is achieved in formal and conventional training and communication
approaches. Alternate Reality Games: Gamification for Performance
leads you through the fundamentals of ARGs. It includes a
discussion of what is and is not an ARG, citing examples and
identifying business challenges that can be addressed through ARGs.
It presents case studies that illustrate the variety of forms that
ARGs take and the issues to which they can be applied, such as
improving performance and critical communication situations. It
also gives guidelines for creating your own ARGs, reviewing the
process and technological tools and considerations relevant to
their creation. Presenting a thorough examination of the beneficial
roles ARGs can play in the business environment as well as methods
for creating effective ARGs, Alternate Reality Games: Gamification
for Performance is an ideal reference for those approaching or
considering ARGs for the first time as well as the training
professional or professional game designer. It presents a
comprehensive overview of the advantages of applying ARGs to the
workplace as well as methods for designing and using them.
Avoided deforestation can be characterized as the use of financial
incentives to reduce rates of deforestation and forest degradation,
with much of the focus on forests in tropical countries. While
avoided deforestation, as a policy issue, is not new, the current
debate in academic and policy circles on including it in future
climate change mitigation strategies such as the Clean Development
Mechanism is gathering pace - and this debate is only likely to
intensify as negotiations continue over what should be included in
the successor agreement to the Kyoto Protocol, which is set to
expire in 2012. Up until now, however, the debate in terms of the
scientific and economic implications of avoided deforestation has
not been brought together. This book aims to bring together
important research findings in the area along with their policy
implications, whilst linking avoided deforestation to political
economy as well as to the latest developments in environmental and
natural resource economics.

The substantial and growing interest in the monetary valuation of
preferences for environmental improvement, and against
environmental damage, has prompted a demand for case studies
illustrating methodologies and applications of valuation
techniques. In this book, the first of two volumes, the authors
provide detailed case studies of valuation techniques that have
been used in developing countries. They demonstrate that valuation
works and that it can yield significant insights into
policy-relevant issues regarding conservation and economic
development. The authors address a whole range of environmental
issues under the broad themes of water and air quality, biological
diversity and forest functions. The economic approaches covered
include contingent valuation, hedonic property prices, travel cost
methodologies and benefits transfer. They also go on to look at the
idea of extending national accounts to reflect changes in
environmental assets. Examples of the varied and interesting case
studies include valuing improvements to sanitation in Malaysia, the
value of visits to game parks in South Africa and tropical forest
values in Mexico. They highlight how valuation techniques can be
applied, often with limited resources, to critical development
issues. Academics and practitioners of environmental economics will
draw great value from this unique and original work, as will the
many multilateral and bilateral aid agencies. The book will also
prove a valuable addition to graduate and undergraduate courses in
environmental economics where there is a need for case material.
