-Titulo Original : Understanding Cryptography A Textbook For Students And Practitioners-Fabricante : Springer-Descripcion Original: Cryptography is now ubiquitous - moving beyond the traditional environments, such as government communications and banking systems, we see cryptographic techniques realized in Web browsers, e-mail programs, cell phones, manufacturing systems, embedded software, smart buildings, cars, and even medical implants. Todays designers need a comprehensive understanding of applied cryptography. After an introduction to cryptography and data security, the authors explain the main techniques in modern cryptography, with chapters addressing stream ciphers, the Data Encryption Standard (DES) and 3DES, the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), block ciphers, the RSA cryptosystem, public-key cryptosystems based on the discrete logarithm problem, elliptic-curve cryptography (ECC), digital signatures, hash functions, Message Authentication Codes (MACs), and methods for key establishment, including certificates and public-key infrastructure (PKI). Throughout the book, the authors focus on communicating the essentials and keeping the mathematics to a minimum, and they move quickly from explaining the foundations to describing practical implementations, including recent topics such as lightweight ciphers for RFIDs and mobile devices, and current key-length recommendations. The authors have considerable experience teaching applied cryptography to engineering and computer science students and to professionals, and they make extensive use of examples, problems, and chapter reviews, while the book’s website offers slides, projects and links to further resources. This is a suitable textbook for graduate and advanced undergraduate courses and also for self-study by engineers. Review requires security.

-Titulo Original : Mathematical Modeling-Fabricante : Springer-Descripcion Original: The whole picture of Mathematical Modeling is systematically and thoroughly explained in this text for undergraduate and graduate students of mathematics, engineering, economics, finance, biology, chemistry, and physics. This textbook gives an overview of the spectrum of modeling techniques, deterministic and stochastic methods, and first-principle and empirical solutions. Complete range: The text continuously covers the complete range of basic modeling techniques: it provides a consistent transition from simple algebraic analysis methods to simulation methods used for research. Such an overview of the spectrum of modeling techniques is very helpful for the understanding of how a research problem considered can be appropriately addressed. Complete methods: Real-world processes always involve uncertainty, and the consideration of randomness is often relevant. Many students know deterministic methods, but they do hardly have access to stochastic methods, which are described in advanced textbooks on probability theory. The book develops consistently both deterministic and stochastic methods. In particular, it shows how deterministic methods are generalized by stochastic methods. Complete solutions: A variety of empirical approximations is often available for the modeling of processes. The question of which assumption is valid under certain conditions is clearly relevant. The book provides a bridge between empirical modeling and first-principle methods: it explains how the principles of modeling can be used to explain the validity of empirical assumptions. The basic features of micro-scale and macro-scale modeling are discussed - which is an important problem of current research. Review From the reviews: “It is of special interest for a fluid dynamics audience since most types of models one would like to apply in fluid dynamic systems are introduced. … Mathematical modeling is of great use as background reading material for any course on advanced fluid dynamics. … A total of 570 exercise questions are organized in 220 problems … . I strongly recommend the book to anyone wanting to acquire good understanding what mathematical modeling is about.” (Dirk J. E. M. Roekaerts, Theoretical and Computational Fluid Dynamics, Vol. 27, 2013) “The book covers two primary types of modeling: deterministic and stochastic. … The text can be used for a course at the undergraduate or graduate level. … This course would be particularly beneficial to students outside of science and engineering. … I like this book and recommend it as a text in mathematical modeling. I also recommend it for those studying turbulent fluid mechanics, stochastic vibration & structures, noise, meteorology, random data management, and stock market analysis.” (Peyman Givi, AIAA Journal, Vol. 50 (12), December, 2012) “This book is aimed at advanced undergraduate and graduate students in mathematics who have a background in single and multivariable calculus, linear algebra, and ordinary differential equations. … focuses on the construction of mathematical models, the derivation of analytical solutions to tractable models, and the qualitative analysis of the behavior of solutions to the less tractable models. … The entire book could be covered in a two-semester sequence of courses at the graduate level. Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates and graduate students.” (B. Borchers, Choice, Vol. 49 (5), January, 2012) “The book under review is aimed at students in mathematics, physics, engineering, biology, chemistry, economics, finance. … well-written, generously illustrated, and contains many carefully explained examples that are often based on real data. Each chapter starts with a brief ‘Motivation’ section and concludes with a ‘Summary’ that emphasizes the most important ideas and techniques. … This textbook nicely complements existing literature on mathematical modeling and can be used both as a main source or as a suppleme...

-Titulo Original : Design Science Methodology For Information Systems And Software Engineering-Fabricante : Springer-Descripcion Original: This book provides guidelines for practicing design science in the fields of information systems and software engineering research. A design process usually iterates over two activities: first designing an artifact that improves something for stakeholders and subsequently empirically investigating the performance of that artifact in its context. This “validation in context” is a key feature of the book - since an artifact is designed for a context, it should also be validated in this context. The book is divided into five parts. Part I discusses the fundamental nature of design science and its artifacts, as well as related design research questions and goals. Part II deals with the design cycle, i.e. the creation, design and validation of artifacts based on requirements and stakeholder goals. To elaborate this further, Part III presents the role of conceptual frameworks and theories in design science. Part IV continues with the empirical cycle to investigate artifacts in context, and presents the different elements of research problem analysis, research setup and data analysis. Finally, Part V deals with the practical application of the empirical cycle by presenting in detail various research methods, including observational case studies, case-based and sample-based experiments and technical action research. These main sections are complemented by two generic checklists, one for the design cycle and one for the empirical cycle. The book is written for students as well as academic and industrial researchers in software engineering or information systems. It provides guidelines on how to effectively structure research goals, how to analyze research problems concerning design goals and knowledge questions, how to validate artifact designs and how to empirically investigate artifacts in context - and finally how to present the results of the design cycle as a whole.

-Titulo Original : Decision Procedures An Algorithmic Point Of View (texts In Theoretical Computer Science. An Eatcs Series)-Fabricante : Springer-Descripcion Original: A decision procedure is an algorithm that, given a decision problem, terminates with a correct yes/no answer. Here, the authors focus on theories that are expressive enough to model real problems, but are still decidable. Specifically, the book concentrates on decision procedures for first-order theories that are commonly used in automated verification and reasoning, theorem-proving, compiler optimization and operations research. The techniques described in the book draw from fields such as graph theory and logic, and are routinely used in industry. The authors introduce the basic terminology of satisfiability modulo theories and then, in separate chapters, study decision procedures for each of the following theories: propositional logic; equalities and uninterpreted functions; linear arithmetic; bit vectors; arrays; pointer logic; and quantified formulas. Review “This is an excellent book, which I am delighted to have the chance to review. … The text and the supporting material have been invaluable, stepping the reader through decision procedures and their combinations. … I highly recommend the book to those interested in understanding and contributing to the world of SAT and SMT solving ... .” (Rosemary Monahan, Formal Aspects of Computing, Vol. 30 (06), November, 2018) From the Back Cover A decision procedure is an algorithm that, given a decision problem, terminates with a correct yes/no answer.

The techniques described in the book draw from fields such as graph theory and logic, and are routinely used in industry.

Then, in separate chapters, they study decision procedures for propositional logic; equalities and uninterpreted functions; linear arithmetic; bit vectors; arrays; pointer logic; and quantified formulas. They also study the problem of deciding combined theories based on the Nelson-Oppen procedure. The first edition of this book was adopted as a textbook in courses worldwide. It was published in 2008 and the field now called SMT was then in its infancy, without the standard terminology and canonic algorithms it has now; this second edition reflects these changes. It brings forward the DPLL(T) framework. It also expands the SAT chapter with modern SAT heuristics, and includes a new section about incremental satisfiability, and the related Constraints Satisfaction Problem (CSP). The chapter about quantifiers was expanded with a new section about general quantification using E-matching and a section about Effectively Propositional Reasoning (EPR). The book also includes a new chapter on the application of SMT in industrial software engineering and in computational biology, coauthored by Nikolaj Bjørner and Leonardo de Moura, and Hillel Kugler, respectively. Each chapter includes a detailed bibliography and exercises. Lecturers’ slides and a C library for rapid prototyping of decision procedures are available from the authors’ website.

-Titulo Original : Graph Neural Networks Foundations, Frontiers, And Applications-Fabricante : Springer-Descripcion Original: Deep Learning models are at the core of artificial intelligence research today. It is well known that deep learning techniques are disruptive for Euclidean data, such as images or sequence data, and not immediately applicable to graph-structured data such as text. This gap has driven a wave of research for deep learning on graphs, including graph representation learning, graph generation, and graph classification. The new neural network architectures on graph-structured data (graph neural networks, GNNs in short) have performed remarkably on these tasks, demonstrated by applications in social networks, bioinformatics, and medical informatics. Despite these successes, GNNs still face many challenges ranging from the foundational methodologies to the theoretical understandings of the power of the graph representation learning. This book provides a comprehensive introduction of GNNs. It first discusses the goals of graph representation learning and then reviews the history, current developments, and future directions of GNNs. The second part presents and reviews fundamental methods and theories concerning GNNs while the third part describes various frontiers that are built on the GNNs. The book concludes with an overview of recent developments in a number of applications using GNNs. This book is suitable for a wide audience including undergraduate and graduate students, postdoctoral researchers, professors and lecturers, as well as industrial and government practitioners who are new to this area or who already have some basic background but want to learn more about advanced and promising techniques and applications.

-Titulo Original : Meaning Of Life, Human Nature, And Delusions: How Tales About Love, Sex, Races, Gods And Progress Affect Our Lives And Earths Splendor-Fabricante : Springer-Descripcion Original: Whatever are your beliefs, background, education, political views or interests, one thing is sure: this book will engage you, teach you something new, and more importantly make you to re-think deeply about critical aspects of your daily-life, including sex, love, food, physical activities, diseases, work and stress, and how you see and deal with other people, other animals, and the planet in general. Indeed, it focuses on topics that have fascinated people from all places and historical periods since times immemorial: Why are we here? What is the meaning of life? Are we progressing, and will we thrive? It does this by integrating in a unique fashion information from ancient Greek, Sumerian, Hindu, Jewish, Buddhist, Christian and Muslim texts to high-tech brain research, facts about near-death experiences, Covid-19, QAnon conspiracies, virtual reality and dating aps; from Adam and Eve to the rise of misogyny and racism to Black Lives Matter, Me-Too, Hollywood romantic movies and Disney fairy-tales. Contrary to notions about human progress and Homo Deus defended by authors such as Harari, Pinker and Dawkins, it shows that human history instead involves the repetition of similar imaginary tales created by a combination of traits found in other animals and the uniquely human obsession about cosmic purpose stories related to our awareness of deaths inevitability. Organized religions appeared later, chiefly during the rise of agriculture and civilizations. Diogo navigates mesmerizing untold stories revealing a paradox: these events and the industrial revolution increased inequality, oppression, slavery, subjugation of women, famines, plagues, work, stress, and suicides. Data from psychology, biology, neurobiology, and cross-cultural studies of hunter-gatherers and so-called developed societies reveal an even more profound paradox: within all forms of life, the sapient being is the one immersed in Neverlands world of unreality - truly a Homo irrationalis, fictus and socialis believing in fictional tales about cosmic duties, romantic meant to be, demons, inferior races and genders, conspiracies, and justified slavery, warfare, genocides, and animal abuses. Importantly, such tales play, on the other hand, crucial functions such as help coping with death and a plethora of societal troubles, decreasing stress, or preventing drug and alcohol abuse. An optimist and passionate wondered and wanderer, Diogo provides enthralling details about the history of religion, discrimination, romantic love, warfare, diseases and Earths biodiversity illustrating how virtue is in the middle and that we - with our intriguing combination of beliefs, bodily needs and desires, artistic abilities, and mismatches between our senses illusions and the cosmos reality - are not better or worse than the other millions of captivating living species. This powerful and urgently needed message has critical repercussions for how we understand, care about, and mindfully enjoy living in this splendid planet, in the reality of here and now. Pre-publication comments: I applaud the enormous work that Diogo has invested in this follow-up to his widely acclaimed Evolution driven by organismal behavior book, and the challenge of getting people to think beyond and outside of our usual set of definitions and expectations.
