Web Data APIs for Knowledge Graphs
THIS BOOK DESCRIBES A SET OF METHODS, ARCHITECTURES, AND TOOLS TO EXTEND THE DATA PIPELINE AT THE DISPOSAL OF DEVELOPERS WHEN THEY NEED TO PUBLISH AND CONSUME DATA FROM KNOWLEDGE GRAPHS (GRAPH-STRUCTURED KNOWLEDGE BASES THAT DESCRIBE THE ENTITIES AND RELATIONS WITHIN A DOMAIN IN A SEMANTICALLY MEANINGFUL WAY) USING SPARQL, WEB APIS, AND JSON. To do so, it focuses on the paradigmatic cases of two middleware software packages, grlc and SPARQL Transformer, which automatically build and run SPARQL-based REST APIs and allow the specification of JSON schema results, respectively.The authors highlight the underlying principles behind these technologies—query management, declarative languages, new levels of indirection, abstraction layers, and separation of concerns—, explain their practical usage, and describe their penetration in research projects and industry.The book, therefore, serves a double purpose: to provide a sound and technical description of tools and methods at the disposal of publishers and developers to quickly deploy and consume Web Data APIs on top of Knowledge Graphs; and to propose an extensible and heterogeneous Knowledge Graph access infrastructure that accommodates a growing ecosystem of querying paradigms.* Foreword by Tobias Kuhn* Preface* Acknowledgments* Knowledge Graphs of Linked Data* Accessing Knowledge Graphs Programmatically* Shaping JSON Results: SPARQL Transformer* Applications* Conclusion and Future Challenges* Bibliography* Authors' Biographies

macOS Daemonology
Take advantage of the full power of Swift through XPC. Development for macOS differs from iOS and web-based development because of multicomponent applications. Besides the usual GUI-based applications and app extensions, there are a wide range of daemons—processes that run in the background—to worry about. These include system monitoring, event listening, notification agents, and many-many more.First, you'll take a tour around different types of daemons: user agents, privileged helpers, login items, XPC services, and System Extensions. Knowing key specifics of the daemons will open a wide range of possibilities from non-trivial application development to system development. You'll find lots of examples, working code samples, and even ready-to-use utilities. The book will guide you step-by-step through preparation, registration, and management of all kinds of daemons.System Extensions are brand new for macOS and open additional powerful features for developers. You'll explore installation, user flow, and communication with System Extensions, too, with examples, of course. XPC provides an object-oriented way of communication. There’s no need for custom byte/text-based protocols. A good macOS developer has to know not only programming interfaces, but also design patterns related to technology. XPC communication has a few patterns of its own, and we'll go through them all, including uni- and bi-directional communication, passing objects by-value and by-proxy, handling connection invalidation, named and anonymous connections, and many more.WHAT YOU'LL LEARN* Use multiples types of daemons in your applications* Deal with System Extensions – the new type of system daemons* Get acquainted with Swift bridging patterns for XPC communicationWHO THIS BOOK IS FORSoftware developers and solution architects with at least a working knowledge of macOS and Swift programming. As overview, may be interested for software/solution architects.VOLODYMYR VASHURKIN (@ALKENSO) is an experienced macOS system and security developer and engineer. His first steps in daemonology were made while researching FileVault full disk encryption on macOS, and its interaction with iCloud services. iCloud on macOS uses plenty of system daemons and user agents, and investigating macOS’s infrastructure led to a solid understanding of how the background world of macOS works. This led him deeply into the development of security solutions for macOS. Working in the security area, Volodymyr gained practical skills for creating GUI-based applications with fewer user agents (user background processes) and root daemons (root'ed background processes). In developing his knowledge and skills, Volodymyr faced numerous tricky cases, lack of documentation, and minor and major documentation gaffes.

Practical Svelte
Learn to leverage the power of Svelte to produce web applications that are efficient and fast. This project-oriented book simplifies creating sites using Svelte from start to finish, with little more than a text editor and familiar languages such as HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. It equips you with a starting toolset that you can use to develop future projects, incorporate into your existing workflow, and allow you to take your websites to the next level.Practical Svelte is an excellent resource for getting acquainted with creating and manipulating websites or online applications using a component framework approach. It takes the view that we don’t have to create something complex and unwieldy. We can build something quickly, using less code than some of its competitors, and extend it using the power of the API and plugins over time, without sacrificing speed or features.You will learn how to use the Svelte framework to rapidly create and deploy websites or online applications that are performant, with the minimum of fuss and using existing tools already available in the browser, get up to speed with individual features of the Svelte framework, and work through a series of small projects that will combine to produce a finished site at the end of the book – this to help consolidate skills from day one and create something that you can use as a basis for future projects.WHAT YOU WILL LEARN* Understand why Svelte’s popularity makes it the go-to framework for constructing applications* Learn how to scaffold and implement web sites or online applications using Svelte* Create reusable components using Svelte that are interoperable with other frameworks and can solve real-world problems* Perform automated testing and deployment using tools such as CI/CD testing * Work through some mini projects from start to finish, understanding what we can achieve using Svelte and where we may need to bring other tools into playWHO THIS BOOK IS FORWebsite developers who are already familiar with JavaScript, CSS, and HTML and are keen to learn how to leverage the Svelte component framework to quickly create web sites or online applications with little more than a text editor. It’s perfect for development teams who do not want to follow the mold and use a credible alternative to React or Angular.Alex Libby is a frontend engineer and seasoned computer book author who hails from England. His passion for all things Open Source dates back to the days of his degree studies, where he first came across web development and has been hooked ever since.

Wahrheit und Fake im postfaktisch-digitalen Zeitalter
Die Zunahme von Fake News, die stärker werdende Beeinflussung von Wahlen, zunehmende Falschmeldungen und gezielte Desinformationskampagnen sind nicht zuletzt eine Folge der fortschreitenden Digitalisierung. Um diesen Fehlentwicklungen Einhalt zu gebieten, ist die Informationstechnik gefragt. Mit intelligenten Algorithmen und einer verfeinerten Datenanalyse müssen zukünftig Fakes schneller erkannt und deren Verbreitung verhindert werden. Um jedoch Fakes mittels künstlicher Intelligenz sinnvoll zu erkennen und zu filtern, muss es möglich sein, Fakes von Fakten, Fakten von Fiktionen und Fiktionen von Fakes zu unterscheiden.In diesem Buch werden daher auch Fragen nach den Distinktionen von Fake, Faktizität und Fiktionalität gestellt. Es wird auf die dahinter liegenden Wahrheitstheorien eingegangen und es werden praktisch-technische Möglichkeiten aufgezeigt, um Wahrheit von Falschheit zu differenzieren. Mit der Berücksichtigung des Fiktionalen sowie der Annahme, dass informationstechnische Weiterentwicklung von geisteswissenschaftlichen Erkenntnissen profitieren kann, hoffen die Autorinnen und Autoren, dass inhaltliche, technische und methodische Herausforderungen der Gegenwart und Zukunft bewältigt werden können.PETER KLIMCZAK (Dr. phil. et Dr. rer. nat. habil.) lehrt als Privatdozent Medien-, Kultur- und Technikwissenschaften an der Brandenburgischen Technischen Universität und forscht im Rahmen eines Feodor Lynen Research Fellowship an der University of Wroclaw.

Modeling and Optimization in Software-Defined Networks
THIS BOOK PROVIDES A QUICK REFERENCE AND INSIGHTS INTO MODELING AND OPTIMIZATION OF SOFTWARE-DEFINED NETWORKS (SDNS). It covers various algorithms and approaches that have been developed for optimizations related to the control plane, the considerable research related to data plane optimization, and topics that have significant potential for research and advances to the state-of-the-art in SDN.Over the past ten years, network programmability has transitioned from research concepts to more mainstream technology through the advent of technologies amenable to programmability such as service chaining, virtual network functions, and programmability of the data plane. However, the rapid development in SDN technologies has been the key driver behind its evolution.The logically centralized abstraction of network states enabled by SDN facilitates programmability and use of sophisticated optimization and control algorithms for enhancing network performance, policy management, and security.Furthermore, the centralized aggregation of network telemetry facilitates use of data-driven machine learning-based methods. To fully unleash the power of this new SDN paradigm, though, various architectural design, deployment, and operations questions need to be addressed. Associated with these are various modeling, resource allocation, and optimization opportunities.The book covers these opportunities and associated challenges, which represent a ``call to arms'' for the SDN community to develop new modeling and optimization methods that will complement or improve on the current norms.* Preface* Acknowledgments* Introduction* SDN Control Plane Optimization* SDN Data Plane Optimization* Future Research Directions* Bibliography* Authors' Biographies
Böses Geld
Das Internet: ungeahnte Möglichkeiten, beeindruckende Innovationsstätte – und Spielplatz für eine völlig neue Generation von Finanzgeschäften, die schnelles Geld versprechen. Die Kehrseite: die Welt der volatilen Kryptowährungen wie Bitcoin, Ripple, Dogecoin &Co., die die Anleger meist nicht wirklich verstehen; und die undurchsichtige Welt elektronischer Dienstleister wie Wirecard, die zwar begeistern, aber oft große Betrugsmaschinen kaschieren. Cornelius Granig hat als Bankvorstand die Entwicklung der hochgelobten neuen Finanzwelt erlebt und schildert spektakuläre Betrugsfälle wie den Wirecard- und den OneCoin-Skandal, die exemplarisch für "böses Geld" stehen. Er zeigt, wie Fortschrittsgläubigkeit, Technologievertrauen und die Sehnsucht nach dem schnellen Reichtum zur DNA großer Straftaten gehören, und ruft zu mehr Wachsamkeit gegenüber allzu euphorischen Jubelmeldungen auf, um sich selbst vor dem Absturz zu schützen.

A Greater Foundation for Machine Learning Engineering
This research scholarly illustrated book has more than 250 illustrations. The simple models of supervised machine learning with Gaussian Naïve Bayes, Naïve Bayes, decision trees, classification rule learners, linear regression, logistic regression, local polynomial regression, regression trees, model trees, K-nearest neighbors, and support vector machines lay a more excellent foundation for statistics. The author of the book Dr. Ganapathi Pulipaka, a top influencer of machine learning in the US, has created this as a reference book for universities. This book contains an incredible foundation for machine learning and engineering beyond a compact manual. The author goes to extraordinary lengths to make academic machine learning and deep learning literature comprehensible to create a new body of knowledge. The book aims at readership from university students, enterprises, data science beginners, machine learning and deep learning engineers at scale for high-performance computing environments. A Greater Foundation of Machine Learning Engineering covers a broad range of classical linear algebra and calculus with program implementations in PyTorch, TensorFlow, R, and Python with in-depth coverage. The author does not hesitate to go into math equations for each algorithm at length that usually many foundational machine learning books lack leveraging the JupyterLab environment. Newcomers can leverage the book from University or people from all walks of data science or software lives to the advanced practitioners of machine learning and deep learning. Though the book title suggests machine learning, there are several implementations of deep learning algorithms, including deep reinforcement learning.The book's mission is to help build a strong foundation for machine learning and deep learning engineers with all the algorithms, processors to train and deploy into production for enterprise-wide machine learning implementations. This book also introduces all the concepts of natural language processing required for machine learning algorithms in Python. The book covers Bayesian statistics without assuming high-level mathematics or statistics experience from the readers. It delivers the core concepts and implementations required with R code with open datasets. The book also covers unsupervised machine learning algorithms with association rules and k-means clustering, metal-learning algorithms, bagging, boosting, random forests, and ensemble methods.The book delves into the origins of deep learning in a scholarly way covering neural networks, restricted Boltzmann machines, deep belief networks, autoencoders, deep Boltzmann machines, LSTM, and natural language processing techniques with deep learning algorithms and math equations. It leverages the NLTK library of Python with PyTorch, Python, and TensorFlow's installation steps, then demonstrates how to build neural networks with TensorFlow. Deploying machine learning algorithms require a blend of cloud computing platforms, SQL databases, and NoSQL databases. Any data scientist with a statistics background that looks to transition into a machine learning engineer role requires an in-depth understanding of machine learning project implementations on Amazon, Google, or Microsoft Azure cloud computing platforms. The book provides real-world client projects for understanding the complete implementation of machine learning algorithms.This book is a marvel that does not leave any application of machine learning and deep learning algorithms. It sets a more excellent foundation for newcomers and expands the horizons for experienced deep learning practitioners. It is almost inevitable that there will be a series of more advanced algorithms follow-up books from the author in some shape or form after setting such a perfect foundation for machine learning engineering.
