The Digital Public Domain
Digital technology has made culture more accessible than ever before. Texts, audio, pictures and video can easily be produced, disseminated, used and remixed using devices that are increasingly user-friendly and affordable. However, along with this technological democratization comes a paradoxical flipside: the norms regulating culture's use - copyright and related rights - have become increasingly restrictive. This book brings together essays by academics, librarians, entrepreneurs, activists and policy makers, who were all part of the EU-funded Communia project. Together the authors argue that the Public Domain - that is, the informational works owned by all of us, be that literature, musi...
Contro lo smartphone
Lo usiamo tutti. Ogni anno ne vengono venduti circa un miliardo e mezzo. Se in questi anni c’è stata una rivoluzione – che ha coinvolto tecnologia, economia, abitudini e costume – il suo simbolo è sicuramente l’oggetto più quotidiano che esista, tanto da passare inosservato: lo smartphone.Juan Carlos De Martin ne analizza storia, forme e conseguenze partendo da un dato di cui sinora non si è colta la singolare straordinarietà: per la prima volta nella storia dell’uomo siamo di fronte a un oggetto necessario, di cui non si può fare a meno. Affetti, transazioni bancarie, mobilità, lavoro, la nostra storia e la Storia del mondo passano attraverso quello schermo seducente e, soprattutto, attraverso chi ne gestisce i sistemi operativi, chi ne controlla le app, chi le infrastrutture tecnologiche."Contro lo smartphone" si chiude con un manifesto che ci richiama alla necessaria attenzione perché si possa immaginare un mondo in cui l’uomo sia davvero padrone della macchina, usandola con fiducia.
DSP for In-Vehicle and Mobile Systems
DSP for In-Vehicle and Mobile Systems is focused on digital signal processing strategies for improving information access, command and control, and communications for in-vehicle environments. It is expected that the next generation of human-to-vehicle interfaces will incorporate speech, video/image, and wireless communication modalities to provide more comfortable and safer driving ambiance. It is also expected that vehicles will become "smarter" and provide a level of wireless information sharing of resources regarding road, weather, traffic, and other information that drivers may need immediately or request at a later time while driving on the road. The format of this work centers on three themes: in-vehicle corpora, speech recognition/dialog systems with emphasis on car environments, and digital signal processing for mobile platforms involving noise suppression, image/video processing, and alternative communication scenarios that can be employed for in-vehicle applications. DSP for In-Vehicle and Mobile Systems is appropriate for researchers and professionals working in signal processing technologies, next generation vehicle design and networked-communications.

Quality of Service in Multiservice IP Networks
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Third International Workshop on Quality of Service in Multiservice IP Networks, QoS-IP 2005, held in Catania, Italy in February 2005. The 50 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from around 100 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on analytical models, traffic characterization, MPLS failure and restoration, network planning and dimensioning, DiffServ and InfServ, routing, software routers, network architectures for QoS provisioning, multiservice in wireless networks, TCP in special environments, and scheduling.
Traffic Management and Traffic Engineering for the Future Internet
This post proeedings volume contains a selection of research contributions presented at FITraMEn 2008, held during December 11-12, 2008 in Porto, Portugal. The papers contained in this book provide a general view of the ongoing research on traffic management and traffic engineering in the Euro-NF Network of Excellence, and give a representative example of the problems currently investigated in this area, that spans topics such as bandwidth allocation and traffic control, statistical analysis, traffic engineering, and optical networks and video communications.
The Socioeconomic Effects of Public Sector Information on Digital Networks
While governments throughout the world have different approaches to how they make their public sector information (PSI) available and the terms under which the information may be reused, there appears to be a broad recognition of the importance of digital networks and PSI to the economy and to society. However, despite the huge investments in PSI and the even larger estimated effects, surprisingly little is known about the costs and benefits of different information policies on the information society and the knowledge economy. By understanding the strengths and weaknesses of the current assessment methods and their underlying criteria, it should be possible to improve and apply such tools to help rationalize the policies and to clarify the role of the internet in disseminating PSI. This in turn can help promote the efficiency and effectiveness of PSI investments and management, and to improve their downstream economic and social results. The workshop that is summarized in this volume was intended to review the state of the art in assessment methods and to improve the understanding of what is known and what needs to be known about the effects of PSI activities.
LA Graffiti Black Book
This collection of unique works by 150 Los Angeles graffiti and tattoo artists represents an unprecedented collaboration across the city’s diverse artistic landscape. Many graffiti artists carry sketchbooks, called black books, and they ask crew members and others whose work they admire to inscribe their books with lettering or drawings. A few years ago, the Getty Research Institute invited artists, including Angst, Axis, Big Sleeps, Chaz, Cre8, Defer, EyeOne, Fishe, Heaven, Hyde, Look, ManOne, and Prime, to consider the idea of a citywide graffiti black book. During visits to the Getty Center, the artists viewed rare books related to calligraphy and letterforms, including works by Albrech...
Digital Signal Processing for In-Vehicle Systems and Safety
Compiled from papers of the 4th Biennial Workshop on DSP (Digital Signal Processing) for In-Vehicle Systems and Safety this edited collection features world-class experts from diverse fields focusing on integrating smart in-vehicle systems with human factors to enhance safety in automobiles. Digital Signal Processing for In-Vehicle Systems and Safety presents new approaches on how to reduce driver inattention and prevent road accidents. The material addresses DSP technologies in adaptive automobiles, in-vehicle dialogue systems, human machine interfaces, video and audio processing, and in-vehicle speech systems. The volume also features recent advances in Smart-Car technology, coverage of autonomous vehicles that drive themselves, and information on multi-sensor fusion for driver ID and robust driver monitoring. Digital Signal Processing for In-Vehicle Systems and Safety is useful for engineering researchers, students, automotive manufacturers, government foundations and engineers working in the areas of control engineering, signal processing, audio-video processing, bio-mechanics, human factors and transportation engineering.
