Transcript Verlag Guides of the Atlas: An Ethnography of
Book SynopsisHow do digital media technologies shape or restructure social practice? And which transitions and demarcations of different forms of publicness arise in this context? Simon Holdermann examines this question in his ethnography of everyday life in the High Atlas Mountains of Morocco. In order to approach the ongoing, historically situated social transformations of the region, he analyses a variety of media practices concerning the organizational work and transnational cooperation that take place there - in particular at the intersection of mountain tourism, NGO work, and local self-government.

World Scientific Publishing Co Pte Ltd Cyberspace & Sovereignty
Book SynopsisHow do you describe cyberspace comprehensively?This book examines the relationship between cyberspace and sovereignty as understood by jurists and economists. The author transforms and abstracts cyberspace from the perspective of science and technology into the subject, object, platform, and activity in the field of philosophy. From the three dimensions of 'ontology' (cognition of cyberspace and information), 'epistemology' (sovereignty evolution), and 'methodology' (theoretical refinement), he uses international law, philosophy of science and technology, political philosophy, cyber security, and information entropy to conduct cross-disciplinary research on cyberspace and sovereignty to find a scientific and accurate methodology. Cyberspace sovereignty is the extension of modern state sovereignty. Only by firmly establishing the rule of law of cyberspace sovereignty can we reduce cyber conflicts and cybercrimes, oppose cyber hegemony, and prevent cyber war. The purpose of investigating cyberspace and sovereignty is to plan good laws and good governance. This book argues that cyberspace has sovereignty, sovereignty governs cyberspace, and cyberspace governance depends on comprehensive planning. This is a new theory of political philosophy and sovereignty law.Table of ContentsNoumenon: Thing-in-Itself: Ontology of Cyberspace; Cyberspace Evolution; Cyberspace Security; Cyberspace Sovereignty; Epistemology: The Consideration of Cyberspace Order; The History of Cyberspace Legislation; The Rule of Law in Cyberspace Sovereignty; Methodology: Cyberspace and Order Coordination; Cyberspace and Overall Planning Entropy; The Overall Planning of Cyberspace Justice;

Springer Verlag, Singapore When 5G Meets Industry 4.0
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

Association of Computing Machinery,U.S. The Societal Impacts of Algorithmic
Book SynopsisThis book demonstrates the need for and the value of interdisciplinary research in addressing important societal challenges associated with the widespread use of algorithmic decision-making. Algorithms are increasingly being used to make decisions in various domains such as criminal justice, medicine, and employment. While algorithmic tools have the potential to make decision-making more accurate, consistent, and transparent, they pose serious challenges to societal interests. For example, they can perpetuate discrimination, cause representational harm, and deny opportunities.The Societal Impacts of Algorithmic Decision-Making presents several contributions to the growing body of literature that seeks to respond to these challenges, drawing on techniques and insights from computer science, economics, and law. The author develops tools and frameworks to characterize the impacts of decision-making and incorporates models of behavior to reason about decision-making in complex environments. These technical insights are leveraged to deepen the qualitative understanding of the impacts of algorithms on problem domains including employment and lending.The social harms of algorithmic decision-making are far from being solved. While easy solutions are not presented here, there are actionable insights for those who seek to deploy algorithms responsibly. The research presented within this book will hopefully contribute to broader efforts to safeguard societal values while still taking advantage of the promise of algorithmic decision-making.Table of Contents Introduction Part I: Theoretical Foundations for Fairness in Algorithmic Decision-Making 1. Inherent Tradeoffs in the Fair Determination of Risk Scores 2. On Fairness and Calibration 3. The Externalities of Exploration and How Data Diversity Helps Exploitation Part II: Models of Behavior 4.

Information Age Publishing Taking eService-Learning to the Next Level:
Book SynopsisThe chapters in this book provide an excellent story of the growth of e-learning and e-service-learning over the past many years. Strait takes us from the first chapter examining current issues and considerations for eService-Learning, to a second chapter that documents the growth and maturation of a program at Missouri State University, to chapters that introduce "critical" e-service learning with a social justice orientation (Gordon and Jackson-Brown), and chapters that address international experiences (Ong, Tan, et al., and Dietrich and Ekici) that involve e-service-learning in Singapore and long-distance relationships between the US and Afghanistan, to illustrate the multiplicity and diversity of current models of service and learning that occur through electronic means.The importance of the book and its chapters is that change happens. What was occurring in the early 21st century was altered by situations, such as the global pandemic of Covid 19, to increase the reliance on e-educational systems and promote the increased use of electronic educational programs that covered almost all areas of educational systems. While early mobile phones existed in the 1970s (Teixeira, T. 2010), they evolved, and more sophisticated versions were produced throughout the 20th century. By the end of the century, phones that could easily transmit emails were developed, and then came camera phones and then smart phones by 2003. And phone communication has continued to change, existing today as a total communication device used by people all over the world.Similarly, video, and visual systems have evolved and continue to change. Zoom was developed in 2011 and has continued to evolve and expand services all over the world. People are now able to visually and orally communicate with others on every continent 24 hours a day, and the complexity and utility of communication has similarly expanded. Now phones can instantaneously translate between languages and people in all parts of the world can share experiences and visual products without barriers of language, country, or time. Indeed, the electronic world is an amazing entity and continues to evolve each year.So, what are the implications of all these changes for education and service? Simply put, they are and will continue to evolve to more complex and more useful forms for all communication and interaction. And this current volume gives us much insight into the important areas of change in both e-learning and e-service-learning. All the chapters add great insight and information about important issues in the field and highlight some of the critical concepts embedded in its development.
