Human computation is a new and evolving research area that centers around harnessing human intelligence to solve computational problems that are beyond the scope of existing Artificial Intelligence (AI) algorithms. With the growth of the Web, human computation systems can now leverage the abilities of an unprecedented number of people via the...

Trying to find the perfect networking resource or textbook can be a real challenge. Sometimes they are extremely focused on one technology, and thus miss the mark. Or they are extremely broad, covering every networking idea known to man. This book is about something that all networks have in common—the core protocols. Networks...

Network routing protocols have emerged as key enabling technologies in a computing world now dominated by connectivity. From a very high-level perspective, these routing protocols can be split into interior gateway protocols (IGPs) and exterior gateway protocols (EGPs). In general, the routing techniques used by IGPs are based on either...
