Information Technology for Peace and Security
This book offers an introduction to Information Technology with regard to peace, conflict, and security research, a topic that it approaches from natural science, technical and computer science perspectives. Following an initial review of the fundamental roles of IT in connection with peace, conflict and security, the contributing authors address the rise of cyber conflicts via information warfare, cyber espionage, cyber defence and Darknets. The book subsequently explores recent examples of cyber warfare, including: • The Stuxnet attack on Iran’s uranium refining capability • The hacking of the German Federal Parliament’s internal communication system • The Wannacry malware campai...
Organic Computing
In this book, the major ideas behind Organic Computing are delineated, together with a sparse sample of computational projects undertaken in this new field. Biological metaphors include evolution, neural networks, gene-regulatory networks, networks of brain modules, hormone system, insect swarms, and ant colonies. Applications are as diverse as system design, optimization, artificial growth, task allocation, clustering, routing, face recognition, and sign language understanding.
Auf den Schwingen des Windes
Kurfürstentum Brandenburg, Mai 1687. Die junge Adelige Aurelie de Abremont verliert bei einem Überfall ihren Vater und damit den letzten Halt im Leben. Der Handwerksmeister Walter Binder nimmt sich ihrer an. Als im Dorf Hexerei-Vorwürfe gegen die Fremde laut werden, fliehen sie gemeinsam nach Berlin. Aurelie wird von der französischen Gemeinde in Berlin abgewiesen. Walter sieht keine andere Möglichkeit, die junge Frau weiter zu schützen und macht ihr einen Heiratsantrag. Als sich das frisch vermählte Paar zu einem Einsatz in der kurfürstlichen Kolonie Groß Friedrichsburg in Westafrika meldet, ahnen sie nicht, dass es nur der Anfang eines gefährlichen Abenteuers ist. Vor dem Hintergrund eines weniger bekannten Kapitels der deutschen Geschichte, der Beteiligung von Brandenburg-Preußen am internationalen Sklavenhandel, erzählt der Autor Harry Baumann eine Abenteuer- und Liebesgeschichte mit vielen überraschenden Wendungen und manchen, voller Erotik prickelnden Momenten.
Torn Many Ways
This edited collection brings together a range of experiences from the field, largely in the context of CSCW and HCI. It focuses specifically on the experiences of people who have worked in difficult, tense, delicate and sometimes conflictual and dangerous settings. The tensions faced by researchers and, more importantly, how they manage to deal with them are often under-remarked. Unlike the bulk of published ethnographic work, the chapters in this book deal more explicitly with the various practical problems that researchers with varying degrees of experience face. Our aim in this book is to give a voice to researchers who have sometimes contended with unexpected issues and who sometimes ha...
