This SpringerBrief examines anti-jamming transmissions in cognitive radio networks (CRNs), including several recent related research topics within this field. The author introduces the transmissions based on uncoordinated spread spectrum to address smart jammers in CRNs.

The author applies game theory to investigate the interactions between secondary users and jammers while providing game theoretic solutions to suppress jamming incentives in CRNs. Later chapters evaluate the Nash equilibrium and Stackelberg equilibrium of the jamming games under various network scenarios.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 8th International Symposium on Algorithmic Game Theory, SAGT 2015, held in Saarbrucken, Germany, in September 2015.

The 22 full papers presented together with one extended abstract and 6 brief announcements were carefully reviewed and selected from 63 submissions. They cover various important aspects of algorithmic game theory, such as matching under preferences; cost sharing; mechanism design and social choice; auctions; networking; routing and fairness; and equilibrium computation.

The internet is a compelling tool for research, enabling efficient, cost-effective data collection and facilitating access to large samples and new populations. This book presents a state-of-the-art guide to the internet as a tool for conducting research in the social and behavioural sciences using qualitative, quantitative and mixed methods approaches.

This book examines recent research on designing online charging and discharging strategies for mobile electric vehicles (EVs) in smart grid. First, the architecture and applications are provided. Then, the authors review the existing works on charging and discharging strategy design for EVs. Critical challenges and research problems are identified. Promising solutions are proposed to accommodate the issues of high EV mobility, vehicle range anxiety, and power systems overload.

The authors investigate innovating charging and discharging potentials for mobile EVS based on real-time...

These transactions publish research in computer-based methods of computational collective intelligence (CCI) and their applications in a wide range of fields such as the semantic Web, social networks, and multi-agent systems. TCCI strives to cover new methodological, theoretical and practical aspects of CCI understood as the form of intelligence that emerges from the collaboration and competition of many individuals (artificial and/or natural). The application of multiple computational intelligence technologies, such as fuzzy systems, evolutionary computation, neural systems, consensus...
