En un bonito rincon de Francia, en Estrasburgo, viven dos famosos detectives de homicidios. Nicolas du Fil, un hombre terco y cuarenton natural de esta misma ciudad y Albert Kuss, un joven refinado educado desde la infancia en un prestigioso internado londinense. Ambos detectives obtuvieron la fama gracias a la resolucion de innumerables cosas de indole internacional. Esta vez deberan investigar la misteriosa desaparicion de un panadero en Estrasburgo, y el azar y las pesquisas les conduciran hasta un oasis irani llamado Shiraz, pero resolver el misterio no sera facil pues las circunstancias no les seran favorables hasta las ultimas paginas. Una historia repleta de misterio y como no, de alguna que otra sonrisa.

Metadata standards in today's ICT sector are proliferating at unprecedented levels, while automated information management systems collect and process exponentially increasing quantities of data. With interoperability and knowledge exchange identified as a core challenge in the sector, this book examines the role ontology engineering can play in providing solutions to the problems of information interoperability and linked data. At the same time as introducing basic concepts of ontology engineering, the book discusses methodological approaches to formal representation of data and information models, thus facilitating information interoperability between heterogeneous, complex and distributed communication systems. In doing so, the text advocates the advantages of using ontology engineering in telecommunications systems. In addition, it offers a wealth of guidance and best-practice techniques for instances in which ontology engineering is applied in cloud services, computer networks and management systems.

Engineering and computer science professionals (infrastructure architects, software developers, service designers, infrastructure operators, engineers, etc.) are today confronted as never before with the challenge of convergence in software solutions and technology. This book will help them respond creatively to what is sure to be a period of rapid development.

Breathing Earth: The Polyphonic Lyric of Robert Bringhurst examines the innovative poems for multiple voices composed by the Canadian poet by drawing on the main insights of biosemiotics, ecophilosophy and material ecocriticism. In seeking to emulate the polyphonic texture of reality, Bringhurst's ecopoetry directs readers' attention to vibrant matter and to the entanglements of (non)human and (in)animate actants in a world that is a semiotic-material unity. In light of the current climate crisis, his polyphonic poems are a timely, wise reminder of the need to rethink the way humanity relates to the more-than-human world and to restore a deep ecological bond with breathing earth.

The Internet as we know it today is the result of a continuous activity for improving network communications, end user services, computational processes and also information technology infrastructures. The Internet has become a critical infrastructure for the human-being by offering complex networking services and end-user applications that all together have transformed all aspects, mainly economical, of our lives. Recently, with the advent of new paradigms and the progress in wireless technology, sensor networks and information systems and also the inexorable shift towards everything connected paradigm, first as known as the Internet of Things and lately envisioning into the Internet of Everything, a data-driven society has been created. In a data-driven society, productivity, knowledge, and experience are dependent on increasingly open, dynamic, interdependent and complex Internet services. The challenge for the Internet of the Future design is to build robust enabling technologies, implement and deploy adaptive systems, to create business opportunities considering increasing uncertainties and emergent systemic behaviors where humans and machines seamlessly cooperate.

Ano 2092. El futuro no es ni parecido a como se imaginaba a principios de siglo. Los coches no vuelan, la gente no viste con trajes brillantes y llamativos y todavia nadie vive en la Luna...Asi comienza esta historia. La aparente tranquilidad en nuestro planeta, se ve de pronto afectada por una invasion alienigena dispuesta a apoderarse de todo cuanto alcanza a su vista. Los Drakyees, seres procedentes del planeta Kaazkarma, aterrizan en nuestro planeta, alegando que les pertenece.
