Book SynopsisIn the ten years since the first MAAMAW was held in 1989, at King's College, Cambridge, the field of Multi-Agent Systems (MAS) has flourished. It has attracted an increasing amount of theoretical and applied research. During this decade, important efforts have been made to establish the scientific and technical foundations of MAS. MAAMAW publications are testimony to the progress achieved in key areas such as agent modelling and reasoning, multi-agent interaction and communication, and multi-agent organisation and social structure. Research results have covered a wide range of inter-related topics in each area including agent architectures, reasoning models, logics, conflict resolution, negotiation, resource allocation, load balancing, learning; social behaviour and interaction, languages and protocols, interagent and agent-human communication, social models, agent roles, norms and social laws, and static and dynamic organisational structures. The feasibility and the viability of the proposed models and techniques have been demonstrated through MAS applications in heterogeneous domains including electronic commerce, co-operative work, telecommunications, social and biological systems, robotics, office and business automation, public administration, social simulations and banking. As the applicability of the technology became understood, the multi-agent paradigm has been progressively accepted by product managers and system developers, giving rise to a considerable amount of business expectation from industry. These expectations do not rest on the concept or metaphor of agent, but on the development of MAS useful in an industrial setting, with real-time systems presenting the biggest challenge.Table of ContentsEngineering Aspects of Multi-agent Systems.- Agent-Oriented Software Engineering.- Specification of Bahavioural Requirements within Compositional Multi-agent System Design.- Agent-Oriented Design.- A Developer’s Perspective on Multi-agent System Design.- Multi-agent Systems Framework.- A Development Environment for the Realization of Open and Scalable Multi-agent Systems.- Modelling Agents in Hard Real-Time Environments.- Multi-agent Systems on the Internet: Extending the Scope of Coordination towards Security and Topology.- Languages and Protocols.- Protocol Engineering for Multi-agent Interaction.- Designing Agent Communication Languages for Multi-agent Systems.- A Temporal Agent Communication Language for Dynamic Multi-agent Systems.- Multi-paradigm Languages Supporting Multi-agent Development.- Negotiation and Cooperation.- An Efficient Argumentation Framework for Negotiating Autonomous Agents.- Negotiating Service Provisioning.- Cooperative Plan Selection Through Trust.- Extending Social Reasoning to Cope with Multiple Partner Coalitions.- Formal Models.- Basic Mental Attitudes of a Collaborating Agent: Cognitive Primitives for MAS.- Subjective Situations.- Formal Analysis of Models for the Dynamics of Trust Based on Experiences.

Book SynopsisComputer science provides a powerful tool that was virtually unknown three generations ago. Some of the classical fields of knowledge are geodesy (surveying), cartography, and geography. Electronics have revolutionized geodetic methods. Cartography has faced the dominance of the computer that results in simplified cartographic products. All three fields make use of basic components such as the Internet and databases. The Springer Handbook of Geographic Information is organized in three parts, Basics, Geographic Information and Applications. Some parts of the basics belong to the larger field of computer science. However, the reader gets a comprehensive view on geographic information because the topics selected from computer science have a close relation to geographic information. The Springer Handbook of Geographic Information is written for scientists at universities and industry as well as advanced and PhD students.Trade ReviewFrom the reviews:“This book provides an encyclopedic survey of geoinformation through 31 chapters contributed by specialists from around the globe. … This book is both timely and up-to-date. The editors have done a very good job spanning the relevant topics for such a handbook, and each chapter is very detailed technically … . This volume is intended as a reference manual for specialists in this area or for researchers needing specialist knowledge. Summing Up: Recommended. Graduate students, researchers/faculty, and professionals/practitioners.” (R. A. Kolvoord, Choice, Vol. 50 (5), January, 2013)“It attempts to provide a comprehensive overview of the state of the art and current practices in the generation, analysis, and distribution of geographic information. … This book would be a good starting place for novices in the field. The exposition of the material is more suited for professionals with a technological focus, such as technologists, engineers, analysts, and cartographers, but managers looking for reasonably comprehensive tutorials about the specific topics covered in this book should find the relevant sections useful.” (R. M. Malyankar, ACM Computing Reviews, January, 2013)Table of ContentsPart A Basics - Computer ScienceModelers and theorists consider geographic information (GI) as being a subtopic of computer science. Many aspects of geographic information are almost pure information technology while others are more geographic information. Part A is dedicated to the topics which have a close relation to information technology, including modeling, mathematics and statistics, databases, encoding, as well as data mining and knowledge discovery.Chap. 1 Modeling of Geographic Information (C. RoswellChap. 2 Mathematics and Geostatistics (F. Gielsdorf, L. Gründig, T. Hillmann)Chap. 3 Databases (T. Brinkhoff, W. Kresse)Chap. 4 Encoding of Geographic Information (C. Portele)Chap. 5 Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery (S.-L. Wang, W.-Z. Shi)Part B Geographic InformationPart B addresses all geographic information topics that primarily are more specific to space and time. Staring with on the description of geographic information systems (GIS), the following chapters cover geodetic foundations, the capture of spatial and temporal data and their visualization (cartography) as well as web mapping technologies. Chap. 6 Geographic Information Systems (GIS) (N. Bartelme) Chap. 7 Change Detection (J. Théau)Chap. 8 Geodesy (M. Becker)Chap. 9 Data Capture and Geosensor Networks (J. Skaloud, M. Cramer, N. Haala, J.-O. Wallgrün, S. Nittel, W. Kresse) Chap. 10 Geometry, Topology and Graph Theory (G. Gröger, B. George)Chap. 11 Portrayal and Cartography (P. Hardy, K. Field)Chap. 12 Geospatial Metadata (D. Danko)Chap. 13 Standards for Geographic Information (W. Kresse, D. Danko, K. Fadaie)Chap. 14 Web Mapping and Web Cartography (A. Neumann)Chap. 15 Geospatial Semantic Web (J. Brodeur)Chap. 16 Registration of Geospatial Information Elements (C.D. O'Brien, R. Lott)Chap. 17 Security for Geospatial Information Systems (A. Matheus)Part C ApplicationsPart C presents a selection of typical and important applications of geographic information. Some of the chapters address applications which may be considered as a specialization of geographic information, such as cadastre. In most of the other cases, geographic information systems (GIS) are only a tool for managing spatiotemporal data, as in planning, defense, and geology. The chapters open up a vast number of new applications, such as the chapter on location-based services. Another approach is open-source GIS, which is a license-oriented perspective on GIS and has become a lifestyle or philosophy among information technology (IT) people.Chap. 18 Ubiquitous Geographic Information (T.J. Kim, S.-G. Jang)Chap. 19 Legal, Law, Cadastre (M. Seifert)Chap. 20 Spatial Planning (F. Wilke)Chap. 21 Location Based Services (A. Zipf, M. Jöst) Chap. 22 Movement Analysis (J. Gudmundsson, P.

Book SynopsisIn modern computing a program is usually distributed among several processes. The fundamental challenge when developing reliable and secure distributed programs is to support the cooperation of processes required to execute a common task, even when some of these processes fail. Failures may range from crashes to adversarial attacks by malicious processes.Cachin, Guerraoui, and Rodrigues present an introductory description of fundamental distributed programming abstractions together with algorithms to implement them in distributed systems, where processes are subject to crashes and malicious attacks. The authors follow an incremental approach by first introducing basic abstractions in simple distributed environments, before moving to more sophisticated abstractions and more challenging environments. Each core chapter is devoted to one topic, covering reliable broadcast, shared memory, consensus, and extensions of consensus. For every topic, many exercises and their solutions enhance the understanding This book represents the second edition of "Introduction to Reliable Distributed Programming". Its scope has been extended to include security against malicious actions by non-cooperating processes. This important domain has become widely known under the name "Byzantine fault-tolerance".

Book SynopsisClustering is an important unsupervised classification technique where data points are grouped such that points that are similar in some sense belong to the same cluster. Cluster analysis is a complex problem as a variety of similarity and dissimilarity measures exist in the literature.This is the first book focused on clustering with a particular emphasis on symmetry-based measures of similarity and metaheuristic approaches. The aim is to find a suitable grouping of the input data set so that some criteria are optimized, and using this the authors frame the clustering problem as an optimization one where the objectives to be optimized may represent different characteristics such as compactness, symmetrical compactness, separation between clusters, or connectivity within a cluster. They explain the techniques in detail and outline many detailed applications in data mining, remote sensing and brain imaging, gene expression data analysis, and face detection.The book will be useful to graduate students and researchers in computer science, electrical engineering, system science, and information technology, both as a text and as a reference book. It will also be useful to researchers and practitioners in industry working on pattern recognition, data mining, soft computing, metaheuristics, bioinformatics, remote sensing, and brain imaging.Trade ReviewFrom the reviews:“The book focuses on emerging metaheuristic approaches to unsupervised classification, with an emphasis on a symmetry-based definition of similarity. … I found this book very appealing. I also thought of it as very valuable for my preoccupations towards the real-world application of unsupervised classification to medical imaging. I thus believe that, when reading this book, junior as well as experienced researchers will find many new challenging theoretical and practical ideas.” (Catalin Stoean, zbMATH, Vol. 1276, 2014)“The book views clustering as a (multiobjective) optimization problem and tackles it with metaheuristics algorithms. More interestingly, the authors of this book propose the exploitation of the concepts of point and line symmetry to define new distances to be used in clustering techniques. … researchers in the field will surely appreciate it as a good reference on the use of the symmetry notion in clustering.” (Nicola Di Mauro, Computing Reviews, July, 2013)Table of ContentsChap. 1 Introduction.- Chap. 2 Some Single- and Multiobjective Optimization Techniques.- Chap. 3 SimilarityMeasures.- Chap. 4 Clustering Algorithms.- Chap. 5 Point Symmetry Based Distance Measures and their Applications to Clustering.- Chap. 6 A Validity Index Based on Symmetry: Application to Satellite Image Segmentation.- Chap. 7 Symmetry Based Automatic Clustering.- Chap. 8 Some Line Symmetry Distance Based Clustering Techniques.- Chap. 9 Use of Multiobjective Optimization for Data Clustering.- References.- Index.

Book SynopsisSince the 1980s, mobile communication has undergone major transitions from 1G to 4G, at a rate of roughly one generation per decade. And the next upgrade is set to come soon, with 5G heralding a new era of large-bandwidth Internet, and a multi-connection, low-latency Internet of Everything.5G technology will be the standard for next-generation mobile Internet, and it will not only enhance the individual user’s experience, but also provide technical support for artificial-intelligence-based applications, such as smart manufacturing, smart healthcare, smart government, smart cities and driverless cars. As a result, 5G is regarded as the “infrastructure” of the industrial Internet and artificial intelligence and both China and the United States are striving to become the 5G leader and spearhead this new generation of international mobile communication standards. Though trade tensions between China and the United States continue to escalate, with products ranging from soybeans to mobile phones and automobiles being affected, 5G technology may be the true cause of trade wars between the world’s top two economies.In short, 5G will change not only society, but also international trade patterns. This book describes various 5G scenarios, changes and values; explains the standards, technologies and development directions behind 5G; and explores new models, new formats and new trends in 5G-based artificial intelligence.Table of ContentsChapter 1 The Development of 5G 1.1 Why is 5G important 1.2 The difference between 5G and 4G 1.3 What changes can 5G bring Chapter 2 The Advanced Technology of 5G 2.1 The premise of 5G is standard 2.2 The core of 5G is network deployment 2.3 The three new technologies of 5G 2.4 The flexibility of 5G Chapter 3 The Development of Industry 4.0 3.1 Traditional industrialization has lost competitiveness 3.2 The core of Industry 4.0 is algorithm-based intelligent manufacturing 3.3 The vision of Industry 4.0 is to break the impossible trinity of manufacturing 3.4 The key to Industry 4.0 is ICT technology Chapter 4 5G Provides Support for Industry 4.0 Communication System 4.1 Significance of 5G igh Bandwidth Network Speed (eMBB) for Industry 4.0 4.2 Significance of 5G to support large-scale networking (mMTC) for Industry 4.0 4.3 Significance of 5G Low Latency (uRLLC) for Industry 4.0 4.4 5G Local Area Network (Local 5G) Implementation Path Chapter 5 The Fusion Scenario between Industry 4.0 and 5G 5.1 Production process can be perceptible 5.2 Device status can be monitored 5.3 Product quality can be improved 5.4 Resource allocation can be predicated 5.5 Manufacturing can be cooperated Postscript: Industry 5G - A New Era of Intelligence

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 SynopsisSensor networks are an essential component of the Internet of Things (IoT), and Multimedia Sensor Networks (MSNs) are the most important emerging area in sensor networks. However, multimedia sensing is characterized by diversified modes, large volumes of data, considerable heterogeneity, and complex computing, as a result of which the theory and methods for traditional sensor networks can’t be applied to MSNs. Based on the authors’ years of systematic research on related theory and methods, this book provides a comprehensive review of MSNs. The coverage ranges from networked sensing and fusion-based transmission, to route discovery and in-network computing. The book presents the most important scientific discoveries and fundamental theories on MSNs, while also exploring practical approaches and typical applications. Given its scope, it is especially suitable for students, researchers and practitioners interested in understanding scientific problems involved in characterizing multimedia sensing features, revealing the transmission mechanisms of MSNs, and constructing efficient in-network multimedia computing paradigms.

Book SynopsisThis textbook is intended as a textbook for one-semester, introductory computer science courses aimed at undergraduate students from all disciplines. Self-contained and with no prerequisites, it focuses on elementary knowledge and thinking models. The content has been tested in university classrooms for over six years, and has been used in summer schools to train university and high-school teachers on teaching introductory computer science courses using computational thinking. This book introduces computer science from a computational thinking perspective. In computer science the way of thinking is characterized by three external and eight internal features, including automatic execution, bit-accuracy and abstraction. The book is divided into chapters on logic thinking, algorithmic thinking, systems thinking, and network thinking. It also covers societal impact and responsible computing material – from ICT industry to digital economy, from the wonder of exponentiation to wonder of cyberspace, and from code of conduct to best practices for independent work. The book’s structure encourages active, hands-on learning using the pedagogic tool Bloom's taxonomy to create computational solutions to over 200 problems of varying difficulty. Students solve problems using a combination of thought experiment, programming, and written methods. Only 300 lines of code in total are required to solve most programming problems in this book.Trade Review“The book companion website includes the course’s lecture and project slides as well as Go source code. … Xu and Zhang validate the view that it is indeed more concerned with … CS instruction itself and provides an effective framework for teaching the subject from introductory to advanced courses. Thus they agree with other notable CT researchers and practitioners, such as Denning and Tedre [1], and their textbook is a most valuable contribution to CS education.” (Harry J. Foxwell, Computing Reviews, October 12, 2022)“The book has a companion website from which readers can pull down over 200 MB of zip files with lecture notes, lab notes … and project notes. This is a puzzling book in some respects. On the one hand it covers basic concepts and terminology for the beginning student, yet on the other hand plunges into sophisticated topics without drawing a breadth. Likewise, it claims that programing experience is not a prerequisite … .” (Anthony J. Duben, Computing Reviews, August 30, 2022)“The most preeminent characteristic of this book is its ‘thinking’-perspective, which the reader may or may not like, and which perhaps leads to a suboptimal arrangements of topics. … the material presented is impressive, and at least the fundamentals are covered in great detail.” (Dieter Riebesehl, zbMATH 1490.68001, 2022)Table of Contents1 Overview of Computer Science.-2 Processes of Digital Symbol Manipulation.- 3 Logic Thinking.- 4 Algorithmic Thinking.- 5 Systems Thinking.- 6 Network Thinking.- 7 Projects.- 8 Appendices.

Book SynopsisOcean covers 70.8% of the Earth’s surface, and it plays an important role in supporting all life on Earth. Nonetheless, more than 80% of the ocean’s volume remains unmapped, unobserved and unexplored. In this regard, Underwater Sensor Networks (USNs), which offer ubiquitous computation, efficient communication and reliable control, are emerging as a promising solution to understand and explore the ocean. In order to support the application of USNs, accurate position information from sensor nodes is required to correctly analyze and interpret the data sampled. However, the openness and weak communication characteristics of USNs make underwater localization much more challenging in comparison to terrestrial sensor networks.In this book, we focus on the localization problem in USNs, taking into account the unique characteristics of the underwater environment. This problem is of considerable importance, since fundamental guidance on the design and analysis of USN localization is very limited at present. To this end, we first introduce the network architecture of USNs and briefly review previous approaches to the localization of USNs. Then, the asynchronous clock, node mobility, stratification effect, privacy preserving and attack detection are considered respectively and corresponding localization schemes are developed. Lastly, the book’s rich implications provide guidance on the design of future USN localization schemes.The results in this book reveal from a system perspective that underwater localization accuracy is closely related to the communication protocol and optimization estimator. Researchers, scientists and engineers in the field of USNs can benefit greatly from this book, which provides a wealth of information, useful methods and practical algorithms to help understand and explore the ocean.Table of Contents 1.

Book SynopsisThis book explores cultural polarization resultant decline in social cohesion in society and how information and communication technologies exacerbate the cultural polarization through phenomenon such as “echo chambers” of information that damage the quality of online discourse. This book examines the nature of the information that is shared. Further this book identifies how the quality of online discourse and polarization induced through it leads to offline harm and negative outcomes in our society. This book discusses how wide-ranging information exchange on digital media can lead to two scenarios, namely, the formation of the public sphere or the formation of echo chambers. While the public sphere, which promotes greater diversity, is a well-researched domain, substantially less research has been conducted on echo chambers in relation to sociocultural activities, products or services. This book states that polarization induced by the formation and evolution of echo chambers in sociocultural realm such as around epidemic outbreaks, vaccination, healthcare, education, and climate change is an emerging avenue of research due to its enormous impact in the shaping of our society. Therefore, this book argues that understanding the characteristics of sociocultural products related controversies is critical and valuable in developing interventions to reduce unhealthy societal and organizational polarisations. The development of systematic knowledge is required to understand and address such a large scale and complex societal challenge so as to facilitate a deeper understanding and offer solutions to the growing issue of polarization in sociocultural context driven primarily through echo chambers. This book examines how technology enabled social media usage increases, and the complex structural outcomes such as echo chambers are likely to have an increasingly important role in shaping public opinion. This book appeals to readers with interest in developing a deeper and broader understanding of issues and initiatives related to the polarization of opinions on cultural products. These include readers and scholars from various disciplines, along with engaged organizational leaders, activists, policy makers, and common citizens. Table of ContentsChapter 1.

Book SynopsisIn an effort to overcome the spectral efficiency loss and high latency by half-duplex (HD), full-duplex (FD) has attracted extensive attention in industry and academia. With signal transmitted and received simultaneously over the same frequency, FD can approximately double the SE over HD. More than that, by enabling the capability of simultaneous transmission-and-reception for communication nodes, full duplex (FD) is a key enabler for many 5G techniques, including but not limited to integrated sensing and communication, low-latency relaying, concurrent bi-directional uplink and downlink transmission, ect. Nevertheless, in FD communications, both transmit and receive radio frequency (RF) chains are activated for exchanging data, and additional power is triggered by self-interference cancellation. As FD requires much higher power consumption than that of half duplex (HD), it is against the green evolution requirement proposed by the future communication systems.To address the critical high-power challenge in applying FD communications, this book will introduce the fundamentals and algorithm designs for energy-efficient FD design. This book will first discuss the principle of energy-efficient communications, which aims to make a good balance between communication performance and system energy consumption. Then, this book will discuss different self-interference cancellation schemes, including passive suppression, analogue cancellation and digital cancellation for FD communications, from the prospective of energy efficiency. Subsequently, this book will present some edge-cutting energy efficiency-oriented FD solutions, including adaptive transmission power adaptation, wireless power transfer FD relaying, bi-directional FD distributed antenna systems, from the perspective of algorithm design and performance analysis.
