Artificial Intelligence and Security
This two-volume set of LNCS 12736-12737 constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 7th International Conference on Artificial Intelligence and Security, ICAIS 2021, which was held in Dublin, Ireland, in July 2021. The conference was formerly called “International Conference on Cloud Computing and Security” with the acronym ICCCS. The total of 93 full papers and 29 short papers presented in this two-volume proceedings was carefully reviewed and selected from 1013 submissions. Overall, a total of 224 full and 81 short papers were accepted for ICAIS 2021; the other accepted papers are presented in CCIS 1422-1424. The papers were organized in topical sections as follows: Part I: Artificial intelligence; and big data Part II: Big data; cloud computing and security; encryption and cybersecurity; information hiding; IoT security; and multimedia forensics
Public Service Performance and Political Elite Career Advancement
Public performance-accountability nexus is a hot topic in recent research, but we know little about its antecedents and consequences in developing countries and transition economies. Are top-down appointed political elites taken accountable for public service performance in authoritarian nations like China? The question is theoretically and empirically examined in the book. I argue that government cadres are appropriately appraised and promoted even with the lame democracy. Using a novel dataset and event history analysis method, I test the performance-based political promotion tournament theory and its contingent features. I find that career advancement of provincial leading officials is positively influenced by public service performance but not by economic performance. The effect is stronger for Party secretaries than governors, for central connected officials than local officials, for younger than older, and for short tenure in office than long serving. The performance-promotion nexus in relatively weak and contingent on contextual attributes, suggesting performance-based reform should be deepened to make local agents accountable for public service delivery and responsiveness.
MSEA 2023
The 2nd International Conference on Mathematical Statistics and Economic Analysis (MSEA 2023) was held virtually from 26-28 May 2023 in Nanjing, China. The conference was attended by researchers, teachers, students and engineers in the field of mathematical statistics and economic analysis. Through data statistics and analysis, we can quickly understand the pattern of economic development. This conference combines mathematical statistics and economic analysis, explores the relationship between the two, and provides a platform for experts and scholars in the fields of mathematical statistics and economic analysis to discuss related issues and exchange ideas. Therefore, we hope to create a forum for sharing research results and exploring future research directions, so that participants can learn about the latest research directions, contents and results of mathematical statistics and economic analysis; secondly, we hope that the conference can provide solutions to the major problems facing mathematical statistics and economic analysis, and create a space that encourages discussion and joint development of research, technological development and innovation.
Advances in Swarm Intelligence
This book and its companion volume, LNCS vols. 7928 and 7929 constitute the proceedings of the 4th International Conference on Swarm Intelligence, ICSI 2013, held in Harbin, China in June 2013. The 129 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 268 submissions. The papers are organized in 22 cohesive sections covering all major topics of swarm intelligence research and developments. The following topics are covered in this volume: analysis of swarm intelligence based algorithms, particle swarm optimization, applications of particle swarm optimization algorithms, ant colony optimization algorithms, biogeography-based optimization algorithms, novel swarm-based search methods, bee colony algorithms, differential evolution, neural networks, fuzzy methods, evolutionary programming and evolutionary games.
Software Testing 2020
Software testing is at a very important crossroad, where it is going back to the roots on certain fronts while moving inexorably forward. For instance, test automation is growing in prominence, but manual testing is becoming a niche; we are increasingly collaborating with the developers, breaking the bounds of unrealistic independence in testing, and bringing in true conscious quality. At such an important stage, it is important to take stock of the past, present, and future to define both the direction the discipline will take as well as the careers it will entail for testers. This book looks at a range of topics covering where we are in the product development landscape today, what are the...
