Due to the great success and enormous impact of IP networks, In
ternet access (such as sending and receiving e-mails) and web brows
ing have become the ruling paradigm for next generation wireless
systems. On the other hand, great technological and commercial
success of services and applications is being witnessed in mobile
wire less communications with examples of cellular, pes voice
telephony and wireless LANs. The service paradigm has thus shifted
from the conventional voice service to seamlessly integrated high
quality mul timedia transmission over broadband wireless mobile
networks. The multimedia content may include data, voice, audio,
image, video and so on. With availability of more powerful portable
devices, such as PDA, portable computer and cellular phone, coupled
with the easier access to the core network (using a mobile device),
the number of mobile users and the demand for multimedia-based
applications is increasing rapidly. As a result, there is an urgent
need for a sys tem that supports heterogeneous multimedia services
and provides seamless access to the desired resources via wireless
connections. Therefore, the convergence of multimedia communication
and wireless mobile networking technologies into the next
generation wireless multimedia (WMM) networks with the vision of
"anytime, anywhere, anyform" information system is the certain
trend in the foreseeable future. However, successful combination of
these two technologies presents many challenges such as available
spectral bandwidth, energy efficiency, seamless end-to-end
communication, robustness, security, etc.

This book constitutes the proceedings of the International
Conference on Internet of Things, ICIOT 2020, held virtually as
part of SCF 2020, in Honolulu, HI, USA, in September 2020. The 8
full and 4 short papers presented in this volume were carefully
reviewed and selected from 20 submissions. The conference Internet
of Things (ICIOT 2020) covers state-of-the-art technologies and
best practices of Internet of Things, as well as emerging standards
and research topics which would define the future of Internet of
Things.
Product placement, the intentional, paid inclusion of product,
service, brand or/and brand identifier into media content, has
gained popularity since the 1980s and is considered an effective
marketing practice to influence consumers'attitudes and behaviors.
Recently, with the emergence of social network sites, more and more
products and brands have been integrated into this newly emerged
media platform. In particular, with the growing worldwide
popularity of social gaming like Mafia Wars, which is played by
more than 25 million social media users each month on Facebook,
marketers started weaving brands into the social gaming
environment. However, compared to the popularity of industry
practice, very little academic literature exists on how to best
utilize product placements in this new and budding media platform
to achieve maximum marketing communication effects. This book,
therefore, provides a new metric of success for social network
marketing by revealing how Chinese urban white-collar professionals
perceive, understand, and interpret product placements woven in a
newly launched and very popular Chinese SNS: Happy Network
(www.kaxin001.com).
This book is a translation of an authoritative introductory text
based on a lecture series delivered by the renowned differential
geometer, Professor S S Chern in Beijing University in 1980. The
original Chinese text, authored by Professor Chern and Professor
Wei-Huan Chen, was a unique contribution to the mathematics
literature, combining simplicity and economy of approach with depth
of contents. The present translation is aimed at a wide audience,
including (but not limited to) advanced undergraduate and graduate
students in mathematics, as well as physicists interested in the
diverse applications of differential geometry to physics. In
addition to a thorough treatment of the fundamentals of manifold
theory, exterior algebra, the exterior calculus, connections on
fiber bundles, Riemannian geometry, Lie groups and moving frames,
and complex manifolds (with a succinct introduction to the theory
of Chern classes), and an appendix on the relationship between
differential geometry and theoretical physics, this book includes a
new chapter on Finsler geometry and a new appendix on the history
and recent developments of differential geometry, the latter
prepared specially for this edition by Professor Chern to bring the
text into perspectives.
