Brill Blockchain and Private International Law
Book SynopsisThe open access publication of this book has been published with the support of the Swiss National Science Foundation. Blockchain is the first global mechanism for the transfer and storage of value. Despite being conceived as an alternative to state and law, the technology and its use cases raise many legal questions, most notably, regarding jurisdiction and applicable law with respect to transactions and assets recorded on the blockchain. The issue is complex given the decentralised nature of the network. In this volume, academics and practitioners from various countries try to provide detailed answers to these questions as they relate to crypto-assets, cryptocurrencies, crypto derivatives, stablecoins, Central Bank Digital Currencies and Decentralised Autonomous Organisations (DAOs), as well as specific transactions and issues, such as property rights, secured transactions, smart contracts and bankruptcy. With specific chapters on national approaches (Germany, Japan, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, United States), the volume explores the need and possibility for legal harmonisation of these issues through global fora, such as the Hague Conference on Private International Law (HCCH) UNIDROIT.

Harvard University Press The Cultural Logic of Computation
Book SynopsisGolumbia, who worked as a software designer for more than ten years, argues that computers are cultural all the way downthat there is no part of the apparent technological transformation that is not shaped by historical and cultural processes, or that escapes existing cultural politics.Trade ReviewThe Cultural Logic of Computation is a brilliant, audacious book. It might be described as a rollicking, East Coast version of Alan Liu's The Laws of Cool-- or one part Laws of Cool, one part Seeing Like a State, with more than a dash of Baudrillard and Virilio for brio. Golumbia's argument is that contemporary Western and Westernizing culture is deeply structured by forms of hierarchy and control that have their origins in the development and use of computers over the last 50 years. I look forward to pressing this book on friends and colleagues, starting with anyone who has ever recommended The World is Flat to me. -- Lisa Gitelman, author of Always Already New: Media, History, and the Data of CultureThe Cultural Logic of Computation is a fascinating and wise book. It takes us with great care through the history of the computational imagination and logic, from Hobbes and Leibniz to blogging and corporate practice. Its range includes the philosophy of computation, the ideology of the digital revolution, the important areas of children's education and education in general and glimpses of brilliant literary insight. Required reading for the responsible citizen. -- Gayatri Chakravorty SpivakGolumbia is no Luddite; he readily admits that computers have brought a wide range of benefits to society. His chief purpose, though, is to demonstrate that these benefits come at the cost of accepting the technophilic ideology, and changing how we perceive our own essence as human beings. -- Rob Horning * popmatters.com *A work to be read as rawly new in the brute force with which it confronts the disavowed fatal flaw in a contemporary academic disciplinary formation: here, the intractably cultural First Worldism of digital media studies...[A] meticulously crafted polemic. -- Brian Lennon * Electronic Book Review *This is a thought-provoking book, full of interesting ideas that would be valuable to teachers and researchers in the area of contemporary culture...The work should also appeal to general readers who are interested in computerization's effects on culture. -- R.

John Murray Press Genesis
Book SynopsisTHE FOLLOW UP TO THE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER THE AGE OF AI In his final book, the late Henry Kissinger joins forces with two leading technologists to mount a profound exploration of the epochal challenges and opportunities presented by the revolution in Artificial Intelligence.As it absorbs data, gains agency, and intermediates between humans and reality, AI (Artificial Intelligence) will help us to address enormous crises, from climate change to geopolitical conflicts to income inequality. It might well solve some of the greatest mysteries of our universe and elevate the human spirit to unimaginable heights. But it will also pose challenges on a scale and of an intensity that we have never seen - usurping our power of independent judgment and action, testing our relationship with the divine, and perhaps even spurring a new phase in human evolution.The last book of elder statesman Henry Kissinger, written with technologists Craig Mundie and Eric Schmidt, Genesis charts a course between blind faith and unjustified fear as it outlines an effective strategy for navigating the age of AI.

Technics Publications LLC Logic and Relational Theory: Thoughts and Essays
Book SynopsisThis book is a revised, upgraded, and hugely improved version of an earlier one called Logic and Databases. Although its effectively a brand new book, therefore, the following remarks from that earlier book are still relevant here. First, logic and databases are inextricably intertwined. The relational model itself is essentially just elementary logic, tailored to database needs. Now, if youre a database professional, this wont be news to you -- but you still might not realize just how much everything we do in the database world is (or should be!) affected by logic. Logic is fundamental, and everywhere. As a database professional, therefore, you owe it to yourself to understand the basics of formal logic, and you ought to be able to explain (and perhaps defend) the connections between formal logic and database technology. And thats what this book is about. What it does is show, through a series of partly independent, partly interrelated essays, just how various crucial aspects of database technology -- some of them very familiar, others maybe less so -- are solidly grounded in formal logic. Overall, the goal is to help you realize the importance of logic in everything you do, and also, I hope, to help you see that logic can be fun.

Delve Publishing Information Security: Principles and Practices
Book SynopsisInformation is an asset to all individuals and businesses. The value of an organization lies within its information - its security is critical for business operations, as well as retaining credibility and earning the trust of clients. Information security refers to the processes and methodologies which are designed and implemented to protect print, electronic, or any other form of confidential, private and sensitive information or data from unauthorized access, use, misuse, disclosure, destruction, modification, or disruption. Information security responsibilities include establishing a set of business processes that will protect information assets regardless of how the information is formatted or whether it is in transit, is being processed or is at rest in storage. Information security has become very important in most organizations. The main reason for this is that access to information and the associated resources has become easier because of the developments in distributed processing, for example the Internet and electronic commerce. The result is that organizations need to ensure that their information is properly protected and that they maintain a high level of information security. In many cases, organizations demand some proof of adequate information security from business partners before electronic commerce can commence. Organizations employ a dedicated security group to implement and maintain the organization’s information security program. The security group is generally responsible for conducting risk management, a process through which vulnerabilities and threats to information assets are continuously assessed, and the appropriate protective controls are decided on and applied. When information is not adequately protected, it may be compromised and this is known as an information or security breach. The consequences of an information breach are severe. For businesses, a breach usually entails huge financial penalties, expensive law suits, loss of reputation and business. For individuals, a breach can lead to identity theft and damage to financial history or credit rating. Recovering from information breaches can take years and the costs are huge. Threats to sensitive and private information come in many different forms, such as malware and phishing attacks, identity theft and ransomware. To prevent attackers and mitigate vulnerabilities at various points, multiple security controls are implemented and coordinated as part of a layered defense in depth strategy. This should minimize the impact of an attack. To be prepared for a security breach, security groups should have an incident response plan (IRP) in place. This should allow them to contain and limit the damage, remove the cause and apply updated defense controls.

Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden Strukturbildung und Simulation technischer
Book SynopsisStrukturbildung ist Modellbildung. Durch Strukturen können technische Systeme wie mit einem Teststand simuliert, dimensioniert und optimiert werden. Das ist ein unschätzbarer Vorteil, denn Fehler werden schon in der Entwurfsphase erkannt und korrigiert.In der Reihe ‚Strukturbildung und Simulation technischer Systeme‘ werden die Grundlagen und Anwendungen anhand vieler Beispiele anschaulich, praxisnah und relativ leicht verständlich vermittelt. So erhält der Leser die Kenntnisse und Fertigkeiten, die er im Studium, bei der Systementwicklung und bei der Beschaffung von Komponenten benötigt.Die angegebenen Strukturen können mit allen gängigen Simulationsprogrammen berechnet werden. Das hier verwendete Programm SimApp ist leistungsfähig, preiswert und einfach zu erlernen. Im Band 1 wurden im Kapitel 1 die zur Modellbildung nötigen statischen Grundlagen gelegt. Im Kapitel 2 wurden sie zuerst auf elektrostatische Systeme angewendet.Der zweite Band legt die Grundlagen und Anwendungen zur dynamischen Systemanalyse. Im ersten Teil lag der Schwerpunkt auf linearen elektrischen Systemen.In diesem zweiten Teil liegt der Schwerpunkt auf nichtlinearen und mechanischen Systemen. Sie werden hochauflösend im Frequenzbereich simuliert und im Bode-Diagramm dargestellt.Mit dem Wissen der Bände 1 und 2 verfügt der Leser über die Kenntnisse, die ihn zur Analyse und Modellbildung eigener Systeme befähigen. Die damit erzeugten Daten und Diagramme ermöglichen durch den Vergleich mit realen Messungen die Überprüfung der Strukturen auf Richtigkeit.Table of ContentsElektrische Dynamik - Teil 2.- Mechanische Dynamik.
