Blockchain: A Hype or a Hoax? fills a gap in the book market to provide material that is not only technical but also caters to business readers. This book was written to keep in mind various stakeholders and the current gap in blockchain education as well as use case implementation. This book reviews blockchain technology, discusses why proof of concept fails, offers examples of use cases that have been successful and that have failed and articulates a framework that should be used before deciding whether blockchain is the right technology for transformation. It uses strategic models and frameworks to assist organisations to see a fit score for their specific use cases. This book provides guidance on how to create a blockchain strategy and a business case to pitch for the budget. It also includes a case study to apply the knowledge on practical use cases for blockchain and a technical overview of most of the blockchain use cases in the market including crypto, non-fungible tokens, decentralised finance, and decentralised autonomous organisations, as well as financial and non-financial industry use cases.

The Rise of Smart Cities: Advanced Structural Sensing and Monitoring Systems provides engineers and researchers with a guide to the latest breakthroughs in the deployment of smart sensing and monitoring technologies. The book introduces readers to the latest innovations in the area of smart infrastructure-enabling technologies and how they can be integrated into the planning and design of smart cities. With this book in hand, readers will find a valuable reference in terms of civil infrastructure health monitoring, advanced sensor network architectures, smart sensing materials, multifunctional material and structures, crowdsourced/social sensing, remote sensing and aerial sensing, and advanced computation in sensor networks. Data analytics refers to the use of the appropriate statistical analysis methods to analyze (i.e., summarize, understand, and digest) a large amount of sensing and monitoring data. Data analytics is particuarly the process of studying and generalizing the monitoring data to obtain the health status of the civil infrastructures. It can be divided into data preprocessing, data fusion, pattern recognition, data processing, and data visualization steps.

This book focuses on cellular Vehicle-to-Everything (C-V2X), currently the most promising wireless communication technology for Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V), Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I), Vehicle-to-Pedestrian (V2P), Vehicle-to-Network (V2N) and Vehicle-to-Cloud (V2C) communications. Because of its low latency and high reliability, C-V2X has become an essential enabling technology for Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITSs) and autonomous driving. This book begins by introducing readers to the research background and status quo of global development. Then, after analyzing the performance requirements of various V2X applications, the system architecture and technical standards are presented. The two evolving stages of C-V2X, i.e., LTE-V2X and NR-V2X, are introduced in detail. In addition, related technologies such as mobile edge computing, network slicing and high-precision positioning, C-V2X security, C-V2X spectrum requirements and planning, and industrial development and applications are introduced. In closing, the book discusses future applications of and technical challenges for C-V2X.

This book weaves emerging themes in future 6G and Next G networks carefully together. It points to three spheres of contexts with different narratives for the year 2030 and beyond, in which the coming Metaverse as the precursor of the future Multiverse can be embedded naturally. The book aims at providing the reader with new cross-disciplinary research material, ranging from communication and computer science to cognitive science, social sciences, and behavioral economics, for building a deeper Metaverse. It will be instrumental in helping the reader find and overcome some of the most common 6G and Next G blind spots. Modern networks are more than communication and computer science. They may be better viewed as techno-social systems that exhibit complex adaptive system behavior and resemble biological superorganisms. 6G and especially Next G should go beyond continuing the linear incremental 6G=5G+1G mindset of past generations of mobile networks.

Кибердзюцу – это практическое руководство по кибербезопасности, в основу которого легли техники, тактики и приемы древних ниндзя. Специалист по кибервойне Бен Маккарти проанализировал рассекреченные японские трактаты и рассказывает, как методики ниндзя можно применить к сегодняшним проблемам безопасности, например для ведения информационной войны, проникновений, шпионажа и использования уязвимостей нулевого дня. «Кибердзюцу» превращает тактику, приемы и стратегии древних ниндзя в практическое руководство по кибербезопасности. Кибербезопасность — это относительно молодая и поэтому очень активно развивающаяся сфера. Специалисты в этой отрасли старательно обезвреживают надвигающиеся угрозы или прогнозируют будущие атаки, основываясь на знаниях о том, что уже произошло.

Applying instructional design principles to serve content just right! This book aims to give instructional designers a better understanding of how learning science can be used in their work. Four real-world case studies illustrate educational needs and the associated solution, bridging theory and practice. Professionals can use the book's templates and formats to create job aids, virtual training, and online learning storyboards. The prominent ADDIE methodology for instructional material development is used throughout the book. The ADDIE model's phases are taught and demonstrated using a variety of real-world scenarios. Gagne's Events of Instruction, Kolb's Experiential Model, and Merrill's Principles of Learning are just a few of the foundational frameworks thoroughly presented with the examples. This book provides examples to show assessment strategies for verifying declarative knowledge and assessment tools for evaluating procedural knowledge. Information about authoring tools, LMSs and LXPs are also covered.

Концепция PKI (инфраструктура открытых ключей) существует уже несколько десятилетий, но это одна из областей ИТ, которая чрезвычайно долго не находила своего воплощения в жизнь. В основном это связано с тем, что внедрение PKI требует много времени и усилий. Поддержание PKI требует не меньше времени, а в реальном мире слияний и поглощений на фоне постоянно меняющихся технологий это еще сложнее. PKI (Public Key Infrastructure) — это набор средств (технических, материальных, и т. д.), распределённых служб и компонентов, в совокупности используемых для поддержки криптозадач на основе закрытого и открытого ключей. В основе PKI лежит использование криптографической системы с открытым ключом и несколько основных принципов. В этой книге рассматриваются все аспекты внедрения и поддержки PKI, которые, как представляется, упускаются в других книгах на эту тему. В ней отражен десятилетний опыт, накопленный не только в PKI, не только в ИТ, не только в электронике, но и в бизнесе, государственных учреждениях и научных кругах. В книге также рассматривается существование PKI наряду с другими технологиями, такими как биометрия, и на фоне постоянно меняющегося мира методологий разработки.

Many cloud computing initiatives flat-out fail; others limp along, functioning tolerably without ever delivering what they promised. An Insider’s Guide to Cloud Computing reveals why, and shows how to do better. Cloud pioneer and long-time CTO David Linthicum explodes the industry’s secrets, and presents practical ways to optimize cloud for value and performance. Linthicum takes a hard look at aggressively marketed technologies such as cloud-based AI, containers, no-code, serverless computing, and multicloud. He illuminates what works, what absolutely does not work, and how to manage the difficult cost-complexity tradeoffs presented by many offerings. You’ll learn why some workloads and datasets still don’t belong on the cloud, and even discover "game changer" technology that has actually been undersold.
