Book Description

This book provides a review of advanced topics relating to the theory, research, analysis and implementation in the context of big data platforms and their applications, with a focus on methods, techniques, and performance evaluation. The explosive growth in the volume, speed, and variety of data being produced every day requires a continuous increase in the processing speeds of servers and of entire network infrastructures, as well as new resource management models. This poses significant challenges (and provides striking development opportunities) for data intensive and high-performance computing, i.e., how to efficiently turn extremely large datasets into valuable information and meaningful knowledge. The task of context data management is further complicated by the variety of sources such data derives from, resulting in different data formats, with varying storage, transformation, delivery, and archiving requirements. At the same time rapid responses are needed for real-time applications. With the emergence of cloud infrastructures, achieving highly scalable data management in such contexts is a critical problem, as the overall application performance is highly dependent on the properties of the data management service.

Book Description

Shipping is the world’s oldest sharing economy and is conducted in a self-organizing manner. Shipping is capital, energy, and information intensive, and with the growing impact of digitalization and climate change, there is a need to rethink the management and operations of this critical global industry - assisted in no small way by maritime informatics. Building upon the recently published inaugural book Maritime Informatics by Springer, this book will address some of the most recent practical developments and experiences, particularly from a global perspective. The focus of the book is to address contemporary movements to tackle global concerns and to complement Maritime Informatics.

Book Description

Intelligent technologies have emerged as imperative tools in computer science and information security. However, advanced computing practices have preceded new methods of attacks on the storage and transmission of data. Developing approaches such as image processing and pattern recognition are susceptible to breaches in security. Modern protection methods for these innovative techniques require additional research. The Handbook of Research on Intelligent Data Processing and Information Security Systems provides emerging research exploring the theoretical and practical aspects of cyber protection and applications within computer science and telecommunications. Special attention is paid to data encryption, steganography, image processing, and recognition, and it targets professionals who want to improve their knowledge in order to increase strategic capabilities and organizational effectiveness. As such, this book is ideal for analysts, programmers, computer engineers, software engineers, mathematicians, data scientists, developers, IT specialists, academicians, researchers, and students within fields of information technology, information security, robotics, artificial intelligence, image processing, computer science, and telecommunications.
