Self-Organization in the Nervous System
This special issue reviews state-of-the-art approaches to the biophysical roots of cognition. These approaches appeal to the notion that cognitive capacities serve to optimize responses to changing external conditions. Crucially, this optimisation rests on the ability to predict changes in the environment, thus allowing organisms to respond pre-emptively to changes before their onset. The biophysical mechanisms that underwrite these cognitive capacities remain largely unknown; although a number of hypotheses has been advanced in systems neuroscience, biophysics and other disciplines. These hypotheses converge on the intersection of thermodynamic and information-theoretic formulations of self...
Connectivity and Functional Specialization in the Brain
‘Connectivity and Functional Specialization in the Brain’ is a topic that describes nerve cells in terms of their anatomical and functional connections. The term connectome refers to a comprehensive map of neural connections, like a wiring diagram of an organism’s nervous system. Connectomics, the study of connectomes, can be applied to individual neurons and their synaptic connections, as well as to connections between neuronal populations or to functional and structural connectivity of different brain regions. This book addresses neural connectivity at these various scales in health and disease. The chapters review novel findings related to neuroanatomy and cell biology, neurophysiol...
Network Science and Cybersecurity
Network Science and Cybersecurity introduces new research and development efforts for cybersecurity solutions and applications taking place within various U.S. Government Departments of Defense, industry and academic laboratories. This book examines new algorithms and tools, technology platforms and reconfigurable technologies for cybersecurity systems. Anomaly-based intrusion detection systems (IDS) are explored as a key component of any general network intrusion detection service, complementing signature-based IDS components by attempting to identify novel attacks. These attacks may not yet be known or have well-developed signatures. Methods are also suggested to simplify the construction of metrics in such a manner that they retain their ability to effectively cluster data, while simultaneously easing human interpretation of outliers. This is a professional book for practitioners or government employees working in cybersecurity, and can also be used as a reference. Advanced-level students in computer science or electrical engineering studying security will also find this book useful .
Cybernetics and Applied Systems
In light of the enormous interest in building intelligent systems, this volume blends theory, applications, and methodology of cybernetics taking it out of the realm of the abstract and explaining how cybernetics can contribute to an improved understanding of intelligence.

Proceedings of the Third International Conference on Human-Computer Interaction, Boston, Massachusetts, September 18-22, 1989
The 113 papers in this volume cover the following areas: Software Psychology; Learning; Data Bases; Graphics; Dialogue Design; and Expert Systems. A further 88 selected papers are published in a companion volume entitled Work With Computers: Organizational, Management, Stress and Health Aspects edited by M.J. Smith and G. Salvendy. Together, the two volumes address the latest research and application in the human aspects of design and use of computing systems. The entire field of human-computer interaction is covered including the cognitive, social, ergonomic, and health aspects of work with computers. Major advances are addressed in knowledge and effective use of computers in a variety of application areas including offices, financial institutions, manufacturing, electronic publishing, construction, and health care.
