Geographical Data Imperfection 2
Geographical data often contains imperfections associated with insufficient precision, errors or incompleteness. If these imperfections are not identified, taken into account and controlled when using the data, the potential for errors may arise, leading to significant consequences with unforeseeable effects, particularly in a decisionmaking context. It is then necessary to characterize and model this imperfection, and take it into account throughout the process.In the previous volume, we introduced different approaches for defining, representing and processing imperfections in geographic data. Volume 2 will now present a number of concrete applications in a variety of fields, demonstrating the practical application of the methodology to use cases such as agriculture, natural disaster management, mountain hazards, land management and assistance for the visually impaired.François Pinet is a researcher at the French National Research Institute for Agriculture, Food and the Environment.Mireille Batton-Hubert is a professor at the École Nationale Supérieure des Mines de Saint- Étienne, France.Eric Desjardin is a lecturer at the University of Reims ChampagneArdenne within the STIC Research Center (CReSTIC), France.

Künstliche Intelligenz: Brücke zwischen Psychoanalyse und Neurologie
Die Psyche mit dem neuronalen System verschmelzen zu können, ist ein lang angestrebtes Ziel. Wissenschaftler brauchen oft Jahre, um die Hürden auf dem Weg dahin zu begreifen. Ist das unumgänglich? Welche naturwissenschaftlichen Prinzipien liegen dem vorliegenden Modell zugrunde? Kann es ohne mathematischen Formalismus verstanden werden? Wie kann ein simuliertes Modell dieser Zusammenführung von Psyche und Neurologie – nennen wir es das Psi-Organ – aus heutiger Sicht aussehen?Mit Hilfe von Simulationsexperimenten können damit psychologische und soziale Theorien auf naturwissenschaftlicher Basis überprüft werden. Das Modell kann als Grundlage für KI-Systeme dienen, die Menschenleben retten, Energie sparen, für Sicherheit auf Flughäfen sorgen, bei der Pflege älterer Menschen unterstützen und vieles mehr. Dieses Psi-Organ-Modell geht weit über die heutigen, hauptsächlich verhaltensbasierten KI-Systeme hinaus.Das Manuskript ist als Einführung zum Verständnis und der Modellierung des menschlichen Geistes und der künstlichen, humanoiden "Intelligenz" zu verstehen.DIETMAR DIETRICH ist Elektroniker.

Cryptography
CRYPTOGRAPHYAN INTRODUCTION TO ONE OF THE BACKBONES OF THE DIGITAL WORLDCryptography is one of the most important aspects of information technology security, central to the protection of digital assets and the mitigation of risks that come with increased global connectivity. The digital world is wholly reliant on secure algorithms and protocols for establishing identity, protecting user data, and more. Groundbreaking recent developments in network communication and a changing digital landscape have been accompanied by similar advances in cryptography, which is more central to digital life than ever before. This book constitutes a comprehensive yet accessible introduction to the algorithms, protocols, and standards which protect the modern internet. Built around both foundational theories and hundreds of specific algorithms, it also incorporates the required skills in complex mathematics. The result is an indispensable introduction to the protocols and systems which should define cryptography for decades to come. Readers will also find:* Over 450 problems with accompanying solutions to reinforce key concepts and test retention* Detailed discussion of topics including symmetric and asymmetric algorithms, random number generation, user authentication, and many more* Over 200 figures and tables that provide rich detail to the contentCryptography: Algorithms, Protocols, and Standards for Computer Security is ideal for undergraduate and graduate students in cryptography and information technology subjects, as well as for researchers looking for a working reference on existing cryptographic algorithms and protocols. ZOUBIR MAMMERI, PHD, is a Full Professor at Paul Sabatier University in Toulouse, France. He teaches a variety of computer science subjects.

Next Generation Internet
Die Entwicklung des Internets, insbesondere des WWW, stößt aktuell an ihre Grenzen – sowohl technisch als auch sozio-kulturell und ökonomisch. Als Lösung wird ein neues Internet versprochen, das die Grenzen der realen und der virtuellen Welt überwinden und Realität und Digitalität verschmelzen soll – das Metaversum. Technische, semantische und organisatorische Details greifen hierzu eng ineinander. Was aber bedeutet dies bei genauerer Betrachtung? Welche technisch-technologischen Herausforderungen müssen bewältigt werden, um ein solches Verschmelzen zu erreichen? Welche ökonomischen Möglichkeiten eröffnen sich– und welche verbieten sich möglicherweise? Wie kann erreicht werden, dass ein offenes und für jeden benutzbares Metaversum entsteht? Und wie kann vermieden werden, dass auch in diesem neuen Metaversum wenige große Anbieter ihre proprietären Ideen durchsetzen? Für diese Fragen soll dieses Buch Antworten aufzeigen.DR. PETER HOFFMANN, einerseits Hochschullehrer für Wirtschaftsinformatik, andererseits Medieninformatiker mit Herz und Seele, beschäftigt sich seit mittlerweile mehr als 20 Jahren mit den Fragen danach, was „digitale Medien“ und „virtuelle Welten“ eigentlich sind und wie der Benutzer mit ihnen interagieren kann.Metaversum?.- Woher … wohin … oder: was überhaupt.- Das Verschmelzen von Welten und …versen.- Eine andere Dimension: Ökonomisches Verschmelzen.- Was nicht fehlen darf: Kritik.- Die wirkliche Vision.- Jetzt ist die Zeit zum Bauen!.- Nachtrag 1 - Weil es so aktuell ist: Künstliche Intelligenz im Metaversum?.
Data Engineering with Scala and Spark
Most data engineers know that performance issues in a distributed computing environment can easily lead to issues impacting the overall efficiency and effectiveness of data engineering tasks. While Python remains a popular choice for data engineering due to its ease of use, Scala shines in scenarios where the performance of distributed data processing is paramount.This book will teach you how to leverage the Scala programming language on the Spark framework and use the latest cloud technologies to build continuous and triggered data pipelines. You’ll do this by setting up a data engineering environment for local development and scalable distributed cloud deployments using data engineering best practices, test-driven development, and CI/CD. You’ll also get to grips with DataFrame API, Dataset API, and Spark SQL API and its use. Data profiling and quality in Scala will also be covered, alongside techniques for orchestrating and performance tuning your end-to-end pipelines to deliver data to your end users.By the end of this book, you will be able to build streaming and batch data pipelines using Scala while following software engineering best practices.
