The editors offer insightful articles on the most salient contemporary issues of managing social and human aspects of information security.

Organizations, worldwide, have adopted practical and applied approaches for mitigating risks and managing information security program. Considering complexities of a large-scale, distributed IT environments, security should be proactively planned for and prepared ahead, rather than as used as reactions to changes in the landscape. Strategic and Practical Approaches for Information Security Governance: Technologies and Applied Solutions presents high-quality research papers and practice articles on management and governance issues in the field of information security. The main focus of the...

This book proposed a modified artificial bee colony algorithm for job scheduling problem. Results of the proposed algorithm shows that the efficiency of proposed algorithm is better then the original Genetic Algorithm. This algorithm produced better results for those problems that do not generate exact solution.Finally, Overall motive of these type of algorithms are to get more optimized results from the previous one. Silent Features are: More efficient algorithm, Less time complexity, Easily to understand the proposed concept, Simple language, Helpful for generating new ideas.

This book proposed two approaches for secure ad-hoc on demand distance vector routing (AODV) against black hole attack in mobile ad-hoc network. The black hole attack one of such security risks in mobile ad-hoc network (MANET). In this attack, a malicious node falsely advertise shortest path to the destination node with an intention to disrupt the communication. We propose a simple, efficient and effective method for making a secure routing protoccol with minimum routing overhead to combat the black hole problem. The proposed method does not require any database, extra memory and more...

Information retrieval with verbose natural language queries has been generating a lot of interest in recent years. The focus of many novel search applications has shifted from short keyword queries to verbose queries. Examples include question answering systems and dialogue systems, voice search on mobile devices, and entity search engines like Facebook's Graph Search or Google's Knowledge Graph. However, the performance of textbook information retrieval techniques for such verbose queries is not as good as that for their shorter counterparts. Thus, effective handling of verbose queries has...
