Book SynopsisThis book examines the massive changes currently taking place in the business world and commonly known under the label “digitalization.” In addition, it describes the significant impacts of technological innovations on processes, products, services and business models. The digital transformation resulting from these developments leads to disruption for many enterprises and industries. While for many years, IT departments mainly concentrated on fulfilling the requirements of business departments effectively and efficiently by means of high-quality IT services and operations, today’s IT departments are increasingly expected to actively co-design and co-create the enterprise. This book describes how information technology enables innovation for businesses, and how IT departments can proactively and in a timely manner collaborate with the business departments of their corporation to leverage these innovations. It also delineates the implications of digitalization for the structures, processes and people in today’s IT departments. IT leaders and managers who are responsible for corporate IT, as well as practice-oriented researchers, will find valuable inspirations and guidance in this book, the central mission of which is to encourage and enable a more proactive role for IT in the digital transformation processes."This book demonstrates the impact of digital transformation on IT organizations and their management. It also presents potential risks for technology availability, security and data protection. The authors develop a vision of what IT management should look like in ten years if it is to continue playing an important role in the company. The book seeks to motivate IT executives and managers with IT responsibility to actively adapt their thinking and their IT organizations before they are forced to react to external pressure. Definitely worth reading!" Sven Kreimendahl, Director Business Technology Services, Campana & SchottTable of Contents

Book SynopsisDas Buch richtet sich an eine Leserschaft, die bereits Grundkenntnisse in der Computergrafik hat. Vorwiegend ist hierbei an Studenten der Informatik gedacht, die bereits eine Computeranimationsvorlesung belegt haben oder die ein vertieftes Interesse an diesem Gebiet besitzen. Neben einem Überblick über die relevanten Themen der Computeranimation wurde ein besonderes Schwergewicht auf die physikalisch-basierten Animationsmethoden gelegt. Zum einfacheren Verständnis, speziell der physikalisch-basierten Methoden, sind allerdings Grundkenntnisse in der Physik sowie in der Analysis sehr hilfreich. Das Buch zeichnet sich im Besonderen dadurch aus, dass es auch exemplarisch wichtige Details einiger Animationsmethoden behandelt, die deren Implementierungen erleichtern.Table of ContentsEinführung.- Globale Bewegungen.- Deformationen.- Warping und Morphing.- Gesichtsanimation.- Prozedurale Animationstechniken.- Motion Capturing und Motion Editing.- Modellierung und Animation von Naturerscheinungen.- Modellierung und Animation von Stoffen.- Animationen mit neuronalen Netzen.- Physikalisch-basierte Animation mechanischer Systeme.

Book SynopsisThe increase in fake news, the growing influence on elections, increasing false reports and targeted disinformation campaigns are not least a consequence of advancing digitalisation. Information technology is needed to put a stop to these undesirable developments. With intelligent algorithms and refined data analysis, fakes must be detected more quickly in the future and their spread prevented. However, in order to meaningfully recognize and filter fakes by means of artificial intelligence, it must be possible to distinguish fakes from facts, facts from fictions, and fictions from fakes. This book therefore also asks questions about the distinctions of fake, factual and fictional. The underlying theories of truth are discussed, and practical-technical ways of differentiating truth from falsity are outlined. By considering the fictional as well as the assumption that information-technical further development can profit from humanities knowledge, the authors hope that content-related, technical and methodological challenges of the present and future can be overcome.Table of ContentsIntroduction - Truth relativism, scientific skepticism and the political consequences - Of Fakes and Frauds: Can scientific "hoaxes" be a legitimate tool of knowledge? - Fiction, Fake and Fact - Stranger than Fiction - The Marxist-Leninist Definition of Fascism and the Building of the Wall - Beware: possible "Fake News" - a technical approach to early detection - Countering Fake News technically - Detection and treatment approaches to support users - NewsDeps: Visualizing the Origin of Information in News Articles

Book SynopsisThis open access book is the first to systematically introduce the principles of urban informatics and its application to every aspect of the city that involves its functioning, control, management, and future planning. It introduces new models and tools being developed to understand and implement these technologies that enable cities to function more efficiently – to become ‘smart’ and ‘sustainable’. The smart city has quickly emerged as computers have become ever smaller to the point where they can be embedded into the very fabric of the city, as well as being central to new ways in which the population can communicate and act. When cities are wired in this way, they have the potential to become sentient and responsive, generating massive streams of ‘big’ data in real time as well as providing immense opportunities for extracting new forms of urban data through crowdsourcing. This book offers a comprehensive review of the methods that form the core of urban informatics from various kinds of urban remote sensing to new approaches to machine learning and statistical modelling. It provides a detailed technical introduction to the wide array of tools information scientists need to develop the key urban analytics that are fundamental to learning about the smart city, and it outlines ways in which these tools can be used to inform design and policy so that cities can become more efficient with a greater concern for environment and equity.Table of ContentsUrban Science and Systems.- Urban Sensing.- Urban Big Data Infrastructure.- Urban Computing.- Urban Problems and Possible Solutions.- Perspectives for the Future.

Book SynopsisThe development of information technology has made it possible to collect large amounts of spatial data on a daily basis. It is of enormous significance when it comes to discovering implicit, non-trivial and potentially valuable information from this spatial data. Spatial co-location patterns reveal the distribution rules of spatial features, which can be valuable for application users. This book provides commercial software developers with proven and effective algorithms for detecting and filtering these implicit patterns, and includes easily implemented pseudocode for all the algorithms. Furthermore, it offers a basis for further research in this promising field.Preference-based co-location pattern mining refers to mining constrained or condensed co-location patterns instead of mining all prevalent co-location patterns. Based on the authors’ recent research, the book highlights techniques for solving a range of problems in this context, including maximal co-location pattern mining, closed co-location pattern mining, top-k co-location pattern mining, non-redundant co-location pattern mining, dominant co-location pattern mining, high utility co-location pattern mining, user-preferred co-location pattern mining, and similarity measures between spatial co-location patterns.Presenting a systematic, mathematical study of preference-based spatial co-location pattern mining, this book can be used both as a textbook for those new to the topic and as a reference resource for experienced professionals.Table of Contents
