Advances in artificial intelligence, sensor computing, robotics,
and mobile systems are making autonomous systems a reality. At the
same time, the influence of edge computing is leading to more
distributed architectures incorporating more autonomous elements.
The flow of information is critical in such environments, but the
real time, distributed nature of the system components complicates
the data protection mechanisms. Policy-based management has proven
useful in simplifying the complexity of management in domains like
networking, security, and storage; it is expected that many of
those benefits would carry over to the task of managing big data
and autonomous systems. This book aims at providing an overview of
recent work and identifying challenges related to the design of
policy-based approaches for managing big data and autonomous
systems. An important new direction explored in the book is to make
the major elements of the system self-describing and self-managing.
This would lead to architectures where policy mechanisms are
tightly coupled with the system elements. In such integrated
architectures, we need new models for information assurance,
traceability of information, and better provenance on information
flows. In addition when dealing with devices with actuation
capabilities and, thus, being able to make changes to physical
spaces, safety is critical. With an emphasis on policy-based
mechanisms for governance of data security and privacy, and for
safety assurance, the papers in this volume follow three broad
themes: foundational principles and use-cases for the autonomous
generation of policies; safe autonomy; policies and autonomy in
federated environments.

Despite their widespread impact, computer networks that provide the
foundation for the World Wide Web and Internet have many
limitations. These networks are vulnerable to security threats,
break easily, and have a limited ability to respond to changing
conditions. Recent research on overcoming these limitations has
used biological systems for inspiration, resulting in the
development of biologically-inspired computer networks. These
networks are designed and developed using principles that are
commonly found in natural and biological systems. Biologically
Inspired Networking and Sensing: Algorithms and Architectures
offers current perspectives and trends in biologically-inspired
networking, exploring various approaches aimed at improving network
paradigms. Research contained within this compendium of papers and
surveys introduces studies in the fields of communication networks,
performance modeling, and distributed computing, as well as new
advances in networking.

Thank God I'm a Sucker is an autobiographical account of an eye
surgeon, demonstrating through his own personal battles the
conflicts between the ancient arts of healing of the East and the
Western system of Medicine. He explores the power of the mind on
the human body and the impact this has on the genes. In the early
chapters he explains the current scientific thinking about
age-related disorders and their management, while developing his
own ideas of how the placebo effect and personal belief systems
work, quoting extensively from scientific journals and ancient
vedas. He then proposes a new theory of human evolution,
contradicting Charles Darwin and coining novel terms like
"Ipsicura" and "Concion". In the last chapter he gives convincing
arguments against Atheists like Richard Dawkins to force his reader
to think as to why a firm belief in "God" could in fact be an
evolutionary stable strategy for the human race.
