The amount of data shared and stored on the web and other document repositories is steadily on the rise. Unfortunately, this growth increases inefficiencies and difficulties when trying to find the most relevant and up-to-date information due to unstructured data. Advanced Metaheuristic Methods in Big Data Retrieval and Analytics examines metaheuristic techniques as an important alternative model for solving complex problems that are not treatable by deterministic methods. Recent studies suggest that IR and biomimicry can be used together for several application problems in big data and internet of things, especially when conventional methods would be too expensive or difficult to implement. Featuring coverage on a broad range of topics such as ontology, plagiarism detection, and machine learning, this book is ideally designed for engineers, graduate students, IT professionals, and academicians seeking an overview of new trends in information retrieval in big data.

In the digital age, modern society is exposed to high volumes of multimedia information. In efforts to optimize this information, there are new and emerging methods of information retrieval and knowledge management leading to higher efficiency and a deeper understanding of this data. The Handbook of Research on Biomimicry in Information Retrieval and Knowledge Management is a critical scholarly resource that examines bio-inspired classes that solve computer problems. Featuring coverage on a broad range of topics such as big data analytics, bioinformatics, and black hole optimization, this book is geared towards academicians, practitioners, and researchers seeking current research on the use of biomimicry in information and knowledge management.

The late Hip Hop artist Tupac Shakur predicted it: America's 'FINAL SOLUTION' to its War on Drugs. Black men are disappearing, being abducted. And no one is asking questions. Not the media, not the police, not the government. They're participating. Investigative reporter Cinque Solomon stumbles upon the key to the truth while covering what he believes to be another drug-related murder in a violence-plagued Southeast DC neighborhood. Soon, Cinque becomes the target, and when professionals fail to kill him, he's framed for three murders, including those of two police officers. Now, everyone wants him dead, a shadow government agency, the police and a brutal, drug trafficker he helped imprison. Cinque's running out of time, and to save his life and thousands of others, he must expose the plot and overcome his tragic past, ultimately saving the lives of some he considers scourges on the nation's urban communities. National Black Authors Tour bestselling author Eric Christopher Webb's (E.WEBB? ) highly-anticipated debut novel offers an unsettling commentary on America's War on Drugs and a chilling explantion to several national events by ambitiously weaving a storytelling mix of Donald Goines, (Never Die Alone, Crime Partners, Dopefiend, etc.), John Grisham (The Firm, The Pelican Brief, etc.) and Sam Greenlee (The Spook Who Sat By The Door) into a conspiracy thriller reminiscent of John A. William's controversial novel, The Man Who Cried I Am. The Garvey Protocol: Inspired By True Events promises to alter how one interprets the news, government initiatives and public policy forever.
