Salt Open
There is a rapid growth of automation in server rooms and data centers. The days of having many administrators running around busily configuring and maintaining servers are gone and have been replaced with droves of Salt-Minions; agents beavering away on the target nodes ensuring the configuration is as specified. This book covers Salt Open (also known as SaltStack Open) from the ground up and shows you how to work with two Linux distributions.You'll see how Salt Open is duplicated with ArubaOS and IOS networking devices, which can be configured without the underlying OS. As you step through the configuration options, you'll learn how to run remote execution modules from the CLI before looking at stateful configuration using SLS files. Moving on, you'll learn how to configure the systems where you also need to monitor your devices and that is when reactors and beacons come into play. Creating beacons to alert the server when thresholds are exceeded, you will be able to create reactors to mitigate the issues identified by the beacons.By the end of this book, you will be able to deploy Salt to your servers and network infrastructure. You will be able to install the Salt-Master and Salt-Minion, executing commands from both the Master and the Minion. The networking devices you need to manage will be controlled through the Salt_Proxy Minions that you have configured. Finally, you will be able to load-balance connections to the master with Salt-Syndic.WHAT YOU'LL LEARN* Install Salt Services on Ubuntu and CentOS based systems* Work with remote execution modules* Format YAML files correctly* Provide defined configuration using state files* Use Salt-Proxy to configure network devices* Automate the configuration of Linux servers and networking devices* Add value for both the server and network automation teamWHO THIS BOOK IS FORSystem administrators experienced in Linux administration, who desire to expand their horizons into the world of automation, moving from scripts to states.Andrew is a well known Linux consultant and trainer, his YouTube Channel has over 65K subscribers and more than 1000 videos.

Algorithms and Architectures for Cryptography and Source Coding in Non-Volatile Flash Memories
In this work, algorithms and architectures for cryptography and source coding are developed, which are suitable for many resource-constrained embedded systems such as non-volatile flash memories. A new concept for elliptic curve cryptography is presented, which uses an arithmetic over Gaussian integers. Gaussian integers are a subset of the complex numbers with integers as real and imaginary parts. Ordinary modular arithmetic over Gaussian integers is computational expensive. To reduce the complexity, a new arithmetic based on the Montgomery reduction is presented. For the elliptic curve point multiplication, this arithmetic over Gaussian integers improves the computational efficiency, the resistance against side channel attacks, and reduces the memory requirements. Furthermore, an efficient variant of the Lempel-Ziv-Welch (LZW) algorithm for universal lossless data compression is investigated. Instead of one LZW dictionary, this algorithm applies several dictionaries to speed up the encoding process. Two dictionary partitioning techniques are introduced that improve the compression rate and reduce the memory size of this parallel dictionary LZW algorithm.MALEK SAFIEH is a research scientist in the field of cryptography and data compression.1 Introduction.- 2 Elliptic curve cryptography.- 3 Elliptic curve cryptography over Gaussian integers.- 4 Montgomery arithmetic over Gaussian integers.- 5 Architecture of the ECC coprocessor for Gaussian integers.- 6 Compact architecture of the ECC coprocessor for binary extension fields.- 7 The parallel dictionary LZW algorithm for flash memory controllers.- 8 Conclusion.

Biomedical Data Mining for Information Retrieval
BIOMEDICAL DATA MINING FOR INFORMATION RETRIEVALTHIS BOOK NOT ONLY EMPHASIZES TRADITIONAL COMPUTATIONAL TECHNIQUES, BUT DISCUSSES DATA MINING, BIOMEDICAL IMAGE PROCESSING, INFORMATION RETRIEVAL WITH BROAD COVERAGE OF BASIC SCIENTIFIC APPLICATIONS.Biomedical Data Mining for Information Retrieval comprehensively covers the topic of mining biomedical text, images and visual features towards information retrieval. Biomedical and health informatics is an emerging field of research at the intersection of information science, computer science, and healthcare and brings tremendous opportunities and challenges due to easily available and abundant biomedical data for further analysis. The aim of healthcare informatics is to ensure the high-quality, efficient healthcare, better treatment and quality of life by analyzing biomedical and healthcare data including patient’s data, electronic health records (EHRs) and lifestyle. Previously, it was a common requirement to have a domain expert to develop a model for biomedical or healthcare; however, recent advancements in representation learning algorithms allows us to automatically to develop the model. Biomedical image mining, a novel research area, due to the vast amount of available biomedical images, increasingly generates and stores digitally. These images are mainly in the form of computed tomography (CT), X-ray, nuclear medicine imaging (PET, SPECT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and ultrasound. Patients’ biomedical images can be digitized using data mining techniques and may help in answering several important and critical questions relating to healthcare. Image mining in medicine can help to uncover new relationships between data and reveal new useful information that can be helpful for doctors in treating their patients.

The Trouble With Sharing
PEER-TO-PEER EXCHANGE IS A TYPE OF SHARING THAT INVOLVES THE TRANSFER OF VALUED RESOURCES, SUCH AS GOODS AND SERVICES, AMONG MEMBERS OF A LOCAL COMMUNITY AND/OR BETWEEN PARTIES WHO HAVE NOT MET BEFORE THE EXCHANGE ENCOUNTER. It involves online systems that allow strangers to exchange in ways that were previously confined to the realm of kinship and friendship. Through the examples in this book, we encounter attempts to foster the sharing of goods and services in local communities and consider the intricacies of sharing homes temporarily with strangers (also referred to as hospitality exchange or network hospitality). Some of the exchange arrangements discussed involve money while others explicitly ban participants from using it. All rely on digital technologies, but the trickiest challenges have more to do with social interaction than technical features. This book explores what makes peer-to-peer exchange challenging, with an emphasis on reciprocity, closeness, and participation: How should we reciprocate? How might we manage interactions with those we encounter to attain some closeness but not too much? What keeps people from getting involved or draws them into exchange activities that they would rather avoid?This book adds to the growing body of research on exchange platforms and the sharing economy. It provides empirical examples and conceptual grounding for thinking about interpersonal challenges in peer-to-peer exchange and the efforts that are required for exchange arrangements to flourish. It offers inspiration for how we might think and design differently to better understand and support the efforts of those involved in peer-to-peer exchange. While the issues cannot be simply “solved” by technology, it matters which digital tools an exchange arrangement relies on, and even seemingly small design decisions can have a significant impact on what it is like to participate in exchange processes. The technologies that support exchange arrangements—often platforms of some sort—can be driven by differing sets of values and commitments. This book invites students and scholars in the Human–Computer Interaction community, and beyond, to envision and design alternative exchange arrangements and future economies.* Preface* Acknowledgments* Introduction* Situating the Sharing Economy* What Do We Talk About When We Talk About the Sharing Economy?* Reciprocity and Indebtedness* Closeness and Intimacy* Participation and Inclusion* Future Direction* Epilogue* References* Author Biography

Designing and Building Enterprise Knowledge Graphs
This book is a guide to designing and building knowledge graphs from enterprise relational databases in practice. It presents a principled framework centered on mapping patterns to connect relational databases with knowledge graphs, the roles within an organization responsible for the knowledge graph, and the process that combines data and people. The content of this book is applicable to knowledge graphs being built either with property graph or RDF graph technologies. Knowledge graphs are fulfilling the vision of creating intelligent systems that integrate knowledge and data at large scale. Tech giants have adopted knowledge graphs for the foundation of next-generation enterprise data and metadata management, search, recommendation, analytics, intelligent agents, and more. We are now observing an increasing number of enterprises that seek to adopt knowledge graphs to develop a competitive edge. In order for enterprises to design and build knowledge graphs, they need to understand the critical data stored in relational databases. How can enterprises successfully adopt knowledge graphs to integrate data and knowledge, without boiling the ocean? This book provides the answers. * Preface * Foreword by an Anonymous CDO * Foreword by Tom Plasterer * Acknowledgments * Disclaimer * Introduction * Designing Enterprise Knowledge Graphs * Mapping Design Patterns * Building Enterprise Knowledge Graphs * What's Next? * Conclusions * Bibliography * Authors' Biographies

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles for Internet of Things (IoT)
UNMANNED AERIAL VEHICLES FOR INTERNET OF THINGSTHIS COMPREHENSIVE BOOK DEEPLY DISCUSSES THE THEORETICAL AND TECHNICAL ISSUES OF UNMANNED AERIAL VEHICLES FOR DEPLOYMENT BY INDUSTRIES AND CIVIL AUTHORITIES IN INTERNET OF THINGS (IOT) SYSTEMS. Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) has become one of the rapidly growing areas of technology, with widespread applications covering various domains. UAVs play a very important role in delivering Internet of Things (IoT) services in small and low-power devices such as sensors, cameras, GPS receivers, etc. These devices are energy-constrained and are unable to communicate over long distances. The UAVs work dynamically for IoT applications in which they collect data and transmit it to other devices that are out of communication range. Furthermore, the benefits of the UAV include deployment at remote locations, the ability to carry flexible payloads, reprogrammability during tasks, and the ability to sense for anything from anywhere. Using IoT technologies, a UAV may be observed as a terminal device connected with the ubiquitous network, where many other UAVs are communicating, navigating, controlling, and surveilling in real time and beyond line-of-sight. The aim of the 15 chapters in this book help to realize the full potential of UAVs for the IoT by addressing its numerous concepts, issues and challenges, and develops conceptual and technological solutions for handling them. Applications include such fields as disaster management, structural inspection, goods delivery, transportation, localization, mapping, pollution and radiation monitoring, search and rescue, farming, etc. In addition, the book covers:* Efficient energy management systems in UAV-based IoT networks* IoE enabled UAVs* Mind-controlled UAV using Brain-Computer Interface (BCI)* The importance of AI in realizing autonomous and intelligent flying IoT* Blockchain-based solutions for various security issues in UAV-enabled IoT* The challenges and threats of UAVs such as hijacking, privacy, cyber-security, and physical safety.AUDIENCE: Researchers in computer science, Internet of Things (IoT), electronics engineering, as well as industries that use and deploy drones and other unmanned aerial vehicles.

Essential Java for AP CompSci
Gain the essential skills for computer science using one of today's most popular programming languages, Java. This book will prepare you for AP CompSci Complete, but you don’t need to be sitting that class to benefit. Computer science has become a basic life skill that everyone is going to need to learn. Whether you are going into a career or side hustle in business, technology, creativity, architecture, or almost any other field, you will find coding and computer science play a role.So when we learn programming we are going to focus on three things: what is the process; what is the syntax; and what is the flow. The process is represented as a flowchart. We will learn how to make these to help you plan out what you are going to do before you write a line of code. At first, the flowcharts will be pretty simple, but then they will get more complex. The syntax is the code: this is what you write that translates the process you create in a flowchart to the instructions that the computer can understand. Finally, there is the flow. This is where you trace through the code and see how the data and information it stores along the way changes. You can see how the operation of the program cascades from line to line. You will be building charts that will capture the programming flow so you can better understand how the computer processes code to make your next program easier to conceive and code.Along the way to aid in the learning of the essential Java skills, there will be three kinds of project types throughout this book: business software projects for applications where you work for a company and need to complete an internal project for a team such as the sales, marketing, or data science teams; social good projects where you are working for non-profits or for agencies that are trying to research and provide solutions to economic, environmental, medical, or humanitarian projects; and game development projects for games based on player input, random chance, or other mechanics for the use of entertainment.What is unique about computer science is how it has become a skill, and not just a career. While there are jobs and titles of “computer scientist”, the skill of computer science, and specifically programming, are almost everywhere. After reading and using this book, you'll have the essential skills to think like a computer scientist, even if you are not. As a result you’ll be of greater value to your clients, your company, and yourself.WHAT YOU WILL LEARNDiscover the primary building blocks of programming using the Java programming language * See terminology and best practices of software development* Work with object-oriented programming concepts* Use common-language definitions and examples to help drive understanding and comprehension of computer science fundamentalsWHO THIS BOOK IS FORThose who want to learn programming and want to think like a computer scientist.

Towards Sustainable Artificial Intelligence
So far, little effort has been devoted to developing practical approaches on how to develop and deploy AI systems that meet certain standards and principles. This is despite the importance of principles such as privacy, fairness, and social equality taking centre stage in discussions around AI. However, for an organization, failing to meet those standards can give rise to significant lost opportunities. It may further lead to an organization’s demise, as the example of Cambridge Analytica demonstrates. It is, however, possible to pursue a practical approach for the design, development, and deployment of sustainable AI systems that incorporates both business and human values and principles.This book discusses the concept of sustainability in the context of artificial intelligence. In order to help businesses achieve this objective, the author introduces the sustainable artificial intelligence framework (SAIF), designed as a reference guide in the development and deployment of AI systems.The SAIF developed in the book is designed to help decision makers such as policy makers, boards, C-suites, managers, and data scientists create AI systems that meet ethical principles. By focusing on four pillars related to the socio-economic and political impact of AI, the SAIF creates an environment through which an organization learns to understand its risk and exposure to any undesired consequences of AI, and the impact of AI on its ability to create value in the short, medium, and long term.WHAT YOU WILL LEARN* See the relevance of ethics to the practice of data science and AI* Examine the elements that enable AI within an organization* Discover the challenges of developing AI systems that meet certain human or specific standards* Explore the challenges of AI governance* Absorb the key factors to consider when evaluating AI systemsWHO THIS BOOK IS FORDecision makers such as government officials, members of the C-suite and other business managers, and data scientists as well as any technology expert aspiring to a data-related leadership role.GHISLAIN TSAFACK is Head of Data Science at Elemental Concept 2016 LTD (EC), where he leads the organization’s AI strategy. As part of this, he leads the company’s work in leveraging the latest advances in AI to help clients create value from their data and auditing AI systems developed by third parties on behalf of potential investors.Ghislain’s work in the healthcare industry at EC involves supporting the development of data related healthcare products for his clients. This made him appreciate the challenges and the complexity of developing AI systems that people trust to make the right decision for them and stimulated him to write this book.Before joining EC Ghislain held positions as data scientist in the telecommunications and energy sectors.

External Labeling
THIS BOOK FOCUSES ON TECHNIQUES FOR AUTOMATING THE PROCEDURE OF CREATING EXTERNAL LABELINGS, ALSO KNOWN AS CALLOUT LABELINGS. In this labeling type, the features within an illustration are connected by thin leader lines (called leaders) with their labels, which are placed in the empty space surrounding the image.In general, textual labels describing graphical features in maps, technical illustrations (such as assembly instructions or cutaway illustrations), or anatomy drawings are an important aspect of visualization that convey information on the objects of the visualization and help the reader understand what is being displayed.Most labeling techniques can be classified into two main categories depending on the "distance" of the labels to their associated features. Internal labels are placed inside or in the direct neighborhood of features, while external labels, which form the topic of this book, are placed in the margins outside the illustration, where they do not occlude the illustration itself. Both approaches form well-studied topics in diverse areas of computer science with several important milestones.The goal of this book is twofold. The first is to serve as an entry point for the interested reader who wants to get familiar with the basic concepts of external labeling, as it introduces a unified and extensible taxonomy of labeling models suitable for a wide range of applications. The second is to serve as a point of reference for more experienced people in the field, as it brings forth a comprehensive overview of a wide range of approaches to produce external labelings that are efficient either in terms of different algorithmic optimization criteria or in terms of their usability in specific application domains. The book mostly concentrates on algorithmic aspects of external labeling, but it also presents various visual aspects that affect the aesthetic quality and usability of external labeling.* Bibliography* Preface* Acknowledgments* Figure Credits* Introduction* A Unified Taxonomy* Visual Aspects of External Labeling* Labeling Techniques* External Labelings with Straight-Line Leaders* External Labelings with Polyline Leaders* Conclusions and Outlook* Bibliography* Authors' Biographies* Index
