A Practical Guide to Managing Information Security

The principles underlying modern approaches to securing information and systems that process information are well documented and well understood by practitioners. Modern techniques and technologies for implementing these principles are also well documented, and it is hard to find an area of information security that has not been the subject of a book or at least an article. However, most of the…

Road Lighting

This is my second book on the subject of road lighting. The first, also titled “Road Lighting”, appeared in 1980 in the series “Philips Technical Library” published by Kluwer, with co-author Prof. J.B. de Boer. Since that time, the technology of road lighting has progressed to keep up with the changes in lamp and lighting technology, in traffic and automobile technology, and especially …

Spectral Analysis on Graph-Like Spaces

In this monograph, we analyse thin tubular structures, so-called “graph-like spaces”, and their natural limits, when the radius of a graph-like space tends to zero. The limit space is typically a metric graph, i.e. a graph, where each edge is associated a length, and therefore, the space turns into a one-dimensional manifold with singularities at the vertices. On both, the graph-like spaces…

SECURITY MANAGEMENT OF NEXT GENERATION TELECOMMUNICATIONS NETWORKS AND SERVIC

This book focuses on the management of information security in next generation networks from the viewpoint of a telecommunications service provider, commercial enterprise or any other type of networked organization as a governance issue that needs to follow the “Plan, Do, Check and Act” approach promulgated by W. Edwards Deming and captured in ISO Standard 27001 as it applies to the manag…

Revealing art

In the Tate Modern there is a version of Auguste Rodin’s The Kiss (1901–4) which can be seen on the cover of this book. A couple emerges from the block of marble in a rapturous embrace, the meeting of their lips deliberately concealed from the viewer. The woman leans into the embrace, turning and pulling the man down. Her leg presses over his thigh, gently prising his legs apart, whilst h…

Law from the Tigris to the Tiber: The Writings of Raymond Westbrook

On July 23, 2009, as the preparations for this collection were nearing completion, Raymond Westbrook, the W. W. Spence Professor of Semitic Languages in the Department of Near Eastern Studies at Johns Hopkins University, passed away. We had been contemplating the production of these volumes for some time and began work on them in earnest about one year ago, spurred in part by the progression of…

Managing TRUST in Cyberspace

Traditional security mechanisms restrict access to authorized users only, in order to protect resources from malicious users. However, in many con- texts, we must protect ourselves from those who offer resources, so that the problem is in fact reversed. This improper usage cannot be addressed by traditional security mechanisms, and the issues relate more to trustworthiness than security. Trus…

Ignorance,How It Drives Science.

This strikes me as a particularly apt description of how science proceeds on a day-to-day basis. It is certainly more accurate than the more common metaphor of scientists patiently piecing together a giant puzzle. With a puzzle you see the manufacturer has guaranteed there is a solution. I know that this view of the scientific process—feeling around in dark rooms, bumping into unidentifiable…

Feature Selection for High-Dimensional Data

The topic of variable selection in high-dimensional spaces (often with hundreds or thousands of dimensions) has attracted considerable attention in data mining re- search in previous years, and it is common in many real problems. In a nutshell, feature selection is a process that chooses an optimal subset of features according to a certain criterion. The selection of the criterion must be done…

How the Stock Market Works

Making money demands effort, whether working for a salary or investing. You get nothing for nothing. Anyone who tells you the stock market is an absolute doddle, and money for old rope, is either a conman or a fool. And the proof of that became very clear with the stock market depressions starting in 2007. But doing a bit of work does not necessarily mean heavy mathematics and several hours eve…

Managing the Macroeconomy

Having originated in the advanced economies, the Global Financial Crisis (GFC) of 2008–09 spread rapidly to the rest of the world. The impact on the emerging markets, especially those in Asia, though not as severe as that in the advanced countries, was still quite signifi- cant. India withstood the crisis initially but could not remain entirely unaffected for long (especially after the collap…

Intrusion Detection Networks

In November 2008, a new type of computer worm started to spread quickly. It used three different types of attack on Windows⃝R hosts: exploiting vulnerabilities, guessing passwords, and infecting removable devices [20]. In three months it took over about 9 million Microsoft⃝R Windows systems around the world and formed a massive bot net [5]. The estimated economic loss brought by this worm w…

Computational Statistics Handbook with MATLAB

We wrote a second edition of this book for two reasons. First, the Statistics Toolbox for MATLAB® has been significantly expanded since the first edition, so the text needed to be updated to reflect these changes. Second, we wanted to incorporate some of the suggested improvements that were made by several of the reviewers of the first edition. In our view, one of the most important issues t…

ADAPTIVE WEB DESIGN

One glorious afternoon in March, 2006, as a friend and I hurried past Austin’s Downtown Hilton Hotel to catch the next session of the SXSW Interactive Festival, a young stranger arrested our progress. With no introduction or preliminaries, he announced that he was available to speak at An Event Apart, a conference for web designers that Eric Meyer and I had launched three months previously…

CYBER INFRASTRUCTURE PROTECTION

The Internet, as well as other telecommunication networks and information systems, have become an integrated part of our daily lives, and our dependency upon their underlying infrastructure is ever-increas- ing. Unfortunately, as our dependency has grown, so have hostile attacks on the cyber infrastructure by network predators. The lack of security as a core el- ement in the initial design of…

Constructing Quality

How can we engage in a market relationship when the quality of the goods we want to acquire is unknown, invisible, or uncertain? This is the question addressed in this book. Each chapter focuses on situations where quality is highly uncertain: such situations provide excellent opportunities to analyze how quality is the outcome of a construction process involving producers, consumers, and marke…

In this chapter, you’ll learn the basics of what it means for a website to be responsive . After that, we’ll go through a little of the history of web design, so you can understand where the idea of responsi…
