Adaptive Artificial Intelligence
Master the next frontier of technology with this book, which provides an in-depth guide to adaptive artificial intelligence and its ability to create flexible, self-governed systems in dynamic industries. Adaptive artificial intelligence represents a significant advancement in the development of AI systems, particularly within various industries that require robust, flexible, and responsive technologies. Unlike traditional AI, which operates based on pre-defined models and static data, adaptive AI is designed to learn and evolve in real time, making it particularly valuable in dynamic and unpredictable environments. This capability is increasingly important in disciplines such as autonomous systems, healthcare, finance, and industrial automation, where the ability to adapt to new information and changing conditions is crucial. In industry development, adaptive AI drives innovation by enabling systems that can continuously improve their performance and decision-making processes without the need for constant human intervention. This leads to more efficient operations, reduced downtime, and enhanced outcomes across sectors. As industries increasingly rely on AI for critical functions, the adaptive capability of these systems becomes a cornerstone for achieving higher levels of automation, reliability, and intelligence in technological solutions. Readers will find the book: Introduces the emerging concept of adaptive artificial intelligence;Explores the many applications of adaptive artificial intelligence across various industries;Provides comprehensive coverage of reinforcement learning for different domains.

Protecting Artificial Intelligence-generated Works in Indonesia
This book examines the legal challenges posed by generative artificial intelligence (AI) in copyright law, focusing on Indonesia while using the European Union (EU) as a benchmark. It explores whether AI-generated works should qualify for copyright protection, how rights over these works should be allocated, and which stakeholders should be recognised in the process. By addressing these critical issues, the book provides a framework for balancing legal protection with public interests, offering insights for policymakers, legal scholars, and intellectual property practitioners. Adopting a comparative and socio-legal approach, this book analyses Indonesia’s evolving copyright landscape alongside the EU’s response to AI-generated works. While Indonesia prioritizes AI development, its copyright law remains rooted in human authorship, creating legal uncertainties for AI-generated works, despite the significant human contributions involved. This book offers a novel perspective on how middle-income countries can adapt their copyright systems in response to technological advancements. To address the gap in existing copyright law, potential protection models, including sui generis rights and neighbouring rights, are examined. These alternatives advocate for a balanced approach that fosters innovation while safeguarding human contributors. Through the comparative analysis and policy-driven recommendations, the book is an essential resource for academics, legal professionals, and policymakers seeking to navigate the evolving intersection of AI and copyright law. Laurensia Andrini is a Lecturer at the Business Law Department, Faculty of Law of the Universitas Gadjah Mada in Yogyakarta, Indonesia.

Practical Marko
With the recent evolution of frontend frameworks toward the server, there has been a growing interest in server-side rendering and optimizing for the server to unlock greater performance gains. In this context, this book explores Marko JS—a View framework that is heavily optimized for both the server and the client—and discusses techniques using Marko that can help enterprises achieve significant performance improvements. Focusing on techniques involving Marko, you will learn about topics such as Progressive Rendering, HTML Streaming, server-sent events, and event source APIs. Alongside these techniques, the book will teach you how to accelerate the development of Marko apps quickly and easily using its meta-framework, Marko Run, as well as how to achieve distributed and decoupled applications at scale via server-side micro-frontends that allow for the transclusion of one application into another. A key area of emphasis in the book is the technique of Progressive Rendering, which differs from traditional server-side rendering techniques, where rendering is fully awaited until the entire HTML is generated before being sent. Finally, the book helps you apply these techniques in practical scenarios and teaches you how to build a sample application. By reading this book, you will not only become intimately familiar with high-performance server-side techniques in Marko but also gain expertise in applying these techniques to real-world use cases. What You'll Learn: How to build high performance websites through techniques – Progressive Rendering and HTML StreamingAchieve decoupled and distributed applications via a new paradigm of micro-frontends called micro-frames.Gain familiarity with advanced, efficient server-side rendering techniques for optimizing page load time using Marko, via its meta framework Marko-run.

Datenschutzrechtliche Rollenzuweisungen
Die Arbeit evaluiert die praktische Effektivität und Schlüssigkeit des europäischen Datenschutzrechts in Bezug auf unterschiedliche Rollenzuweisungen. Um auf allgegenwärtige Strukturverschiebungen bei der Verarbeitung personenbezogener Daten und drohende Beeinträchtigungen für die Rechte Betroffener durch differenzierte Rollenzuweisungen zu reagieren, kommt der ganzheitlichen Fortentwicklung des Verantwortlichkeits- und Beteiligungsgefüges eine zentrale Bedeutung zu. Voraussetzung für vereinheitlichte Rollenzuweisungen auf europäischer Ebene ist die Entwicklung eines kohärenten Gesamtkonzepts, das sowohl die rechtlichen Voraussetzungen und Grenzen klar umreißt als auch allgemeingültige Regulierungsprinzipien festlegt. Nur ein im Kern harmonisierter Regelungsrahmen kann beteiligten Akteuren als Orientierungshilfe dienen, die – vorgeschaltet zur konkreten Einzelfallbetrachtung – dazu beiträgt, dass grundlegende Wertungen des europäischen Datenschutzrechts gewahrt werden.

IoT Product Development Using ESP32 Microcontrollers
Develop a comprehensive understanding of IoT product development using ESP32 microcontrollers. This book takes readers on a journey from sensor interface example to an ESP32-based product example where we discuss all aspects of a product including rapid prototyping, cloud interface, product provision, and device fleet management. We will start with an introduction to the ESP32 microcontroller series and discuss programming language options for the ESP32 platform. Next, we explore publishing sensor data to the cloud using the ESP32. This is followed by a review of using the ESP32 to pull data from a public source and display it using a visual aid. The next few chapters demonstrate the construction of a low-cost Bluetooth sensor node using the ESP32, data aggregation with the ESP32, where collect and publish data aggregated from low-power radio networks, and the development of edge devices using the ESP32. The final chapter shows how to build an ESP32-enabled product that publishes data to the cloud, giving you confidence to start building on your own. What You Will Learn · Learn about the rich and powerful features of the ESP32 family of microcontrollers · Get a thorough idea of rapid prototyping tools and techniques for IoT product development · Understand the various communication protocols and standards available for IoT product development Who Is This Book For Readers with some experience with electronics and at least one programming language will be able to make the most of this book.
