Kategoria BISAC: Computers >> Information Theory

These proceedings of the symposium ISIT 2014 aim to be a platform for international exchange of the state-of-the-art research and practice in information technology. The contributions cover a wide variety of topics, ranging from theoretical and analytical studies to various applications.

This book provides a scientific modeling approach for conducting metrics-based quantitative risk assessments of cybersecurity threats. The author builds from a common understanding based on previous class-tested works to introduce the reader to the current and newly innovative approaches to address the maliciously-by-human-created (rather than by-chance-occurring) threat, and related cost-effective management to mitigate such risk. The enriched Java applets provided by the author at the book's specifically preserved website will enable the reader to utilize the course related problems....

Analysis, assessment, and data management are core competencies for operation research analysts. This volume addresses a number of issues and developed methods for improving those skills. It is an outgrowth of a conference held in April 2013 at the Hellenic Military Academy, and brings together a broad variety of mathematical methods and theories with several applications. It discusses directions and pursuits of scientists that pertain to engineering sciences. It is also presents the theoretical background required for algorithms and techniques applied to a large variety of concrete...

This book examines the common metaphor that equates computing and writing, tracing it from the naming of devices ("notebook" computers) through the design of user interfaces (the "desktop") to how we describe the work of programmers ("writing" code). Computing as Writing ponders both the implications and contradictions of the metaphor.

During the past decade, analysis of digital media honed its focus on particular hardware and software platforms. Daniel Punday argues that scholars should, instead, embrace both the power and the fuzziness of the writing metaphor as it relates...

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference proceedings of the 13th International Workshop on Digital-Forensics and Watermarking, IWDW 2014, held in Taipei, Taiwan, during October 2014.

The 32 full and 14 poster papers, presented together with 1 keynote speech, were carefully reviewed and selected from 79 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on forensics; watermarking; reversible data hiding; visual cryptography; and steganography and steganalysis.

Infrastructure makes worlds. Software coordinates labor. Logistics governs movement. These pillars of contemporary capitalism correspond with the materiality of digital communication systems on a planetary scale. Ned Rossiter theorizes the force of logistical media to discern how subjectivity and labor, economy and society are tied to the logistical imaginary of seamless interoperability. Contingency haunts logistical power. Technologies of capture are prone to infrastructural breakdown, sabotage, and failure. Strategies of evasion, anonymity, and disruption unsettle regimes of calculation...
