Electronic Government
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 4th International Conference on Electronic Government, EGOV 2005, held in Copenhagen, Denmark in August 2005. The 30 revised papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from numerous submissions and assess the state of the art in e-government/e-governance and provide guidance for research, development and application of this emerging field. The papers are arranged in topical sections on challenges, performance, strategy, knowledge, and technology.
Digital Government
At last, a right up-to-the-minute volume on a topic of huge national and international importance. As governments around the world battle voter apathy, the need for new and modernized methods of involvement in the polity is becoming acute. This work provides information on advanced research and case studies that survey the field of digital government. Successful applications in a variety of government settings are delineated, while the authors also analyse the implications for current and future policy-making. Each chapter has been prepared and carefully edited within a structured format by a known expert on the individual topic.
Certification and Security in E-Services
This volume contains the final proceedings of the special stream on security in E-government and E-business. This stream has been an integral part of the IFIP World Computer Congress 2002, that has taken place from 26-29 August 2002 in Montreal, Canada. The stream consisted of three events: one tutorial and two workshops. The tutorial was devoted to the theme "An Architecture for Information Se curity Management", and was presented by Prof. Dr. Basie von Solms (Past chairman of IFIP TC 11) and Prof. Dr. Jan Eloff (Past chairman of IFIP TC 11 WG 11.2). Both are from Rand Afrikaans University -Standard Bank Academy for Information Technology, Johannesburg, South Africa. The main purpose of the...
Certification and Security in Inter-Organizational E-Services
Certification and Security in Inter-Organizational E-Services presents the proceedings of CSES 2004 - the 2nd International Workshop on Certification and Security in Inter-Organizational E-Services held within IFIP WCC in August 2004 in Toulouse, France. Certification and security share a common technological basis in the reliable and efficient monitoring of executed and running processes; they likewise depend on the same fundamental organizational and economic principles. As the range of services managed and accessed through communication networks grows throughout society, and given the legal value that is often attached to data treated or exchanged, it is critical to be able to certify the network transactions and ensure that the integrity of the involved computer-based systems is maintained. This collection of papers documents several important developments, and offers real-life application experiences, research results and methodological proposals of direct interest to systems experts and users in governmental, industrial and academic communities.
Advances in Human Factors in Cybersecurity
This book reports on the latest research and developments in the field of human factors in cybersecurity. It analyzes how the human vulnerabilities can be exploited by cybercriminals and proposes methods and tools to increase cybersecurity awareness. The chapters cover the social, economic and behavioral aspects of the cyberspace, providing a comprehensive perspective to manage cybersecurity risks. By gathering the proceedings of the AHFE Virtual Conference on Human Factors Cybersecurity, held on July 16–20, 2020, this book offers a timely perspective of key psychological and organizational factors influencing cybersecurity, reporting on technical tools, training methods and personnel management strategies that should enable achieving a holistic cyber protection for both individuals and organizations. By combining concepts and methods of engineering, education, computer science and psychology, it offers an inspiring guide for researchers and professionals, as well as decision-makers, working at the interfaces of those fields.
Spatio-Temporal Databases
A summary of research carried out in the CHOROCHRONOS Project, established as an EC-funded Training and Mobility Research Network with the objective of studying the design, implementation, and application of spatio-temporal database management systems. The nine coherent chapters by leading research groups are written in a tutorial style, making the research contributions of the project accessible to a wider audience interested in spatio-temporal information processing. Following an introductory overview, the book presents chapters on ontologies for spatio-temporal databases, conceptual models, spatio-temporal models and languages, access methods and query processing, architectures and implementation of spatio-temporal DBMS, interactive spatio-temporal documents, and future perspectives.
Informatics in Schools. Fundamentals of Computer Science and Software Engineering
This book constitutes the proceedings of the 11th International Conference on Informatics in Schools: Situation, Evolution and Perspectives, ISSEP 2018, held in St. Petersburg, Russia, in October 2018. The 29 full papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 74 submissions. They were organized in topical sections named: role of programming and algorithmics in informatics for pupils of all ages; national concepts of teaching informatics; teacher education in informatics; contests and competitions in informatics; socio-psychological aspects of teaching informatics; and computer tools in teaching and studying informatics.
Moving Objects Databases
Moving Objects Databases is the first uniform treatment of moving objects databases, the technology that supports GPS and RFID. It focuses on the modeling and design of data from moving objects — such as people, animals, vehicles, hurricanes, forest fires, oil spills, armies, or other objects — as well as the storage, retrieval, and querying of that very voluminous data. It includes homework assignments at the end of each chapter, exercises throughout the text that students can complete as they read, and a solutions manual in the back of the book. This book is intended for graduate or advanced undergraduate students. It is also recommended for computer scientists and database systems eng...
Introduction to Digital Humanism
This open access textbook introduces and defines digital humanism from a diverse range of disciplines. Following the 2019 Vienna Manifesto, the book calls for a digital humanism that describes, analyzes, and, most importantly, influences the complex interplay of technology and humankind, for a better society and life, fully respecting universal human rights. The book is organized in three parts: Part I “Background” provides the multidisciplinary background needed to understand digital humanism in its philosophical, cultural, technological, historical, social, and economic dimensions. The goal is to present the necessary knowledge upon which an effective interdisciplinary discourse on dig...
Advances in Database Systems
Advanced information technology is pervasive in any kind of human activity - science, business, finance, management and others - and this is particularly true for database systems. Both database theory and database applications constitute a very important part of the state of the art of computer science. Meanwhile there is some discrepancy between different aspects of database activity. Theoreticians are sometimes not much aware of the real needs of business and industry; software specialists not always have the time or the apportunity to get acquainted with the most recent theoretical ideas and trends, as well as with advanced prototypes arising from these ideas; potential users often do not have the possibility of evaluating the theoretical foundations and the potential practical impact of different commercial products. So the main goal of the course was to put together people involved in different aspects of database activity and to promote active exchange of ideas among them.
