MIT Press Ltd Cloud Computing The MIT Press Essential Knowledge
Book SynopsisWhy cloud computing represents a paradigm shift for business, and how business users can best take advantage of cloud services.Most of the information available on cloud computing is either highly technical, with details that are irrelevant to non-technologists, or pure marketing hype, in which the cloud is simply a selling point. This book, however, explains the cloud from the user's viewpoint—the business user's in particular. Nayan Ruparelia explains what the cloud is, when to use it (and when not to), how to select a cloud service, how to integrate it with other technologies, and what the best practices are for using cloud computing. Cutting through the hype, Ruparelia cites the simple and basic definition of cloud computing from the National Institute of Science and Technology: a model enabling ubiquitous, convenient, on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources.

John Wiley & Sons Inc Executives Guide to Cloud Computing
Book SynopsisYour organization can save and thrive in the cloud with this first non-technical guide to cloud computing for business leaders In less than a decade Google, Amazon, and Salesforce.com went from unknown ideas to powerhouse fixtures in the economic landscape; in even less time offerings such as Linkedin, Youtube, Facebook, Twitter and many others also carved out important roles; in less than five years Apple''s iTunes became the largest music retailer in North America. They all share one key strategic decision each of these organizations chose to harness the power of cloud computing to power their drives to dominance. With roots in supercomputing and many other technical disciplines, cloud computing is ushering in an entirely new economic reality technology-enabled enterprises built on low cost, flexible, and limitless technical infrastructures. The Executive''s Guide to Cloud Computing reveals how you can apply the power of cloud computing throughout yoTrade Review“A very timely and invaluable resource for CIOs, CTOs, and Enterprise Architects ... extremely relevant information that will serve readers well now and far into the future.” —Bob Flores, President & CEO Applicology Inc., Former CTO of the Central Intelligence Agency “The authors have done a great job in explaining the cloud concepts. They give historical and technical background to show that cloud computing is really an evolution of numerous technologies and business strategies. It is the combination of these that enables cloud and these new business strategies to happen. This makes the fuzziness of the concept come into focus. The “technical” chapters show the CIO and Technical Architect a model for building your own strategy within the business and a path from concept to deployment with governance and business models thrown in. Darn, I keep hoping for ‘the answer’. Now my questions can dig into the real value for our enterprise and a strategy for moving forward. Great book!!!” —Dave Ploch, CIO, Novus International “‘Executive’s Guide’ is not a code-phrase for an introductory text, but a comprehensive guide for the CIO, IT decision-maker, or project leader. The authors, two entrepreneurs and pioneers in the field, speak from substantial real-world project experience. They introduce the topic and related technologies, highlight cloud drivers and strategy, address relationships to existing initiatives such as Service-Oriented Architectures, detail project phases in the implementation of and evolution to cloud-based enterprise architectures, and offer many reasoned insights along the way.” —Joe Weinman, Strategy and Business Development, AT&T Business Solutions “Executive’s Guide to Cloud Computing is a crystal ball into the future of business. Not a technical treatise but an insightful explanation of how cloud computing can quickly deliver real business value. This book is an instruction manual on how to win business in this ‘born on the web’ world.” —Kevin L.

Chapter 5: Cloud Security Visual language: Noir (black and white, heavy shadows, stark silhouettes) Content: Covers some of the key risks associated with placing your data in the cloud, both personally and professionally. Uses a fictionalized breach to illustrate what can go wrong Chapter 6: The Internet of Things Visual language: Cubist, non-representational Content: Explains the Internet of Things, including why a smart device isn’t always better (lower security, risk of it not being supported) Chapter 7: Artificial Intelligence Visual language: Used future. Think Blade Runner or Terminator. Red-eyed robots, smog, and neon Content: Covers some basics of how the cloud accelerates AI and machine learning through the centralization of data. Gives examples of when that’s good and when it can be bad (for example, reinforcing conscious or unconscious biases) Chapter 8: What Now? Visual language: Minimalist (same as the opening section; ties everything together) Content: Looks ahead to the future of the cloud, particularly increasing levels of abstraction like serverless, voice programming, and automation. Strikes a hopeful tone and finishes by encouraging the reader to go out and build a better cloud.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Applied Cloud Deep Semantic Recognition
Book SynopsisThis book provides a comprehensive overview of the research on anomaly detection with respect to context and situational awareness that aim to get a better understanding of how context information influences anomaly detection. In each chapter, it identifies advanced anomaly detection and key assumptions, which are used by the model to differentiate between normal and anomalous behavior. When applying a given model to a particular application, the assumptions can be used as guidelines to assess the effectiveness of the model in that domain. Each chapter provides an advanced deep content understanding and anomaly detection algorithm, and then shows how the proposed approach is deviating of the basic techniques. Further, for each chapter, it describes the advantages and disadvantages of the algorithm. The final chapters provide a discussion on the computational complexity of the models and graph computational frameworks such as Google Tensorflow and H2O because it is an important issueTable of Contents1 Large-Scale Video Event Detection Using Deep Neural Networks 2 Leveraging Selectional Preferences for Anomaly Detection in Newswire Events 3 Abnormal Event Recognition in Crowd Environments 4 Cognitive Sensing: Adaptive Anomalies Detection with Deep Networks 5 Language-Guided Visual Recognition 6 Deep Learning for Font Recognition and Retrieval 7 A Distributed Secure Machine-Learning Cloud Architecture for Semantic Analysis 8 A Practical Look at Anomaly Detection Using Autoencoders with H2O and the R Programming Language
