Book SynopsisThis book details recent developments in the emerging area of plug-and-play (PnP) visual subgraph query interfaces (VQI). These PnP interfaces are grounded in the principles of human-computer interaction (HCI) and cognitive psychology to address long-standing limitations to bottom-up search capabilities in graph databases using traditional graph query languages, which often require domain experts and specialist programmers. This book explains how PnP interfaces go against the traditional mantra of VQI construction by taking a data-driven approach and giving end users the freedom to easily and quickly construct and maintain a VQI for any data sources without resorting to coding. The book walks readers through the intuitive PnP interface that uses templates where the underlying graph repository represents the socket and user-specified requirements represent the plug. Hence, a PnP interface enables an end user to change the socket (i.e., graph repository) or the plug (i.e., requirements) as necessary to automatically and effortlessly generate VQIs. The book argues that such a data-driven paradigm creates several benefits, including superior support for visual subgraph query construction, significant reduction in the manual cost of constructing and maintaining a VQI for any graph data source, and portability of the interface across diverse sources and querying applications. This book provides a comprehensive introduction to the notion of PnP interfaces, compares it to its classical manual counterpart, and reviews techniques for automatic construction and maintenance of these new interfaces. In synthesizing current research on plug-and-play visual subgraph query interface management, this book gives readers a snapshot of the state of the art in this topic as well as future research directions.Table of ContentsChapter 1 - The Future is Democratized Graphs.- Chapter 2 - Background.- Chapter 3 - The World of Visual Graph Query Interfaces: An Overview.- Chapter 4 - Plug-and-Play Visual Subgraph Query Interfaces.- Chapter 5 - The Building Block of PnP Interfaces: Canned Patterns.- Chapter 6 - Pattern Selection for Graph Databases.- Chapter 7 - Pattern Selection for Large Networks.- Chapter 8 - Maintenance of Patterns.- Chapter 9 - The Road Ahead.

The second edition has been completely updated for the latest versions of Python including Python 3.11 and Python 3.12. New chapters have been added such as those that consider where and how Python is used, the use of Frozensets, how data can be sorted, enumerated types in Python, structural pattern matching and how (and why) Python Virtual Environments are configured. A new chapter ‘The Python Bites back’ is introduced to present the fourteen most common / biggest gotchas for someone new to Python. Other sections have been updated with new features such as Exception Groups, string operations and dictionary operations. A Beginners Guide to Python 3 Programming second Edition provides all you need to know about Python, with numerous examples provided throughout including several larger worked case studies illustrating the ideas presented in the previous chapters.Table of ContentsIntroduction.- Where is Python Used.- Setting up the Python Environment.- A First Python Program.- Python Strings.- Numbers, Booleans and None.- Flow of Control using if statements.- Number Guessing Game.- Recursion.- Introduction to Structured Analysis.- Functions in Python.- Implementing a Calculator using Functions.- Introduction to Functional Programming.- Curried Functions.- Introduction to Object Orientation.- Class Side and Static Behaviour.- Why Bother with Object Orientation?.- Operator Overloading.- Error and Exception Handling.- Python Modules and Packages.- Abstract Base Classes.- Error and Exception Handling.- Python Modules and Packages.- Protocols, Polymorphism and Descriptors.- Decorators.- Iterables and Iterators.- Generators and Coroutines.- Collections Tuples and Lists.- Sets.- Dictionaries.- Frozensets.- Collection Related Modules.- ADTs, Queues and Stacks.- Map, Filter and Reduce.- Sorting and Higher Order Functions.- Python Enumerated Values, Structural Pattern Making.- Python Virtual Environments.- Monkey Patching.- Attribute Lookup.- The Python Bites Back.- TicTacToe Game.

Book SynopsisThis book presents the proceedings of the International Conference on Applied Cyber Security 2023 (ACS23), held in Dubai on the April 29, containing seven original contributions. Cybersecurity is continuously attracting the world’s attention and has gained in awareness and media coverage in the last decade. Not a single week passes without a major security incident that affects a company, sector, or governmental agencies. Most of the contributions are about applications of machine learning to accomplish several cybersecurity tasks, such as malware, network intrusion, and spam email detection. Similar trends of increasing AI applications are consistent with the current research and market trends in cybersecurity and other fields. We divided this book into two parts; the first is focused on malicious activity detection using AI, whereas the second groups AI applications to tackle a selection of cybersecurity problems.This book is suitable for cybersecurity researchers, practitioners, enthusiasts, as well as fresh graduates. It is also suitable for artificial intelligence researchers interested in exploring applications in cybersecurity. Prior exposure to basic machine learning concepts is preferable, but not necessary.
