The deluge of data observed throughout research and industry has turned the analysis of the resulting information into the primary limiting factor for the rapid progress of science, engineering, and medicine. The field of visualization strives to tackle this data analysis challenge by devising visual representations that afford users an...

This book is about relations between three different areas of mathematics and theoretical computer science: combinatorial group theory, cryptography, and complexity theory. It is explored how non-commutative (infinite) groups, which are typically studied in combinatorial group theory, can be used in public key cryptography. It is also shown...

Data Mining represents a complex of technologies that are rooted in many disciplines: mathematics, statistics, computer science, physics, engineering, biology, etc., and with diverse applications in a large variety of different domains: business, health care, science and engineering, etc. Basically, data mining can be seen as the science of...

Templates in OpenCart provide a powerful way to make your site look exactly the way you want either using a single template for the entire site or a separate template for each site section. Although it sounds like an easy task to build and maintain templates, it can be challenging
to get beyond the basics and customize templates to...

The number of security countermeasures against user-land exploitation is on the rise. Because of this, kernel exploitation is becoming much more popular among exploit writers and attackers. Playing with the heart of the operating system can be a dangerous game: This book covers the theoretical techniques and approaches needed to develop...

Software automates a wide variety of business processes in modern enterprises. Changes made to software are, in effect, changes made to the business processes themselves that govern and automate the internal and external operations of an organization.Without a proper disciplined approach to change management, enterprises lack a full...

The Symposium on Logical Foundations of Computer Science series provides a forum for the fast-growing body of work in the logical foundations of computer science, e.g., those areas of fundamental theoretical logic related to computer science. The LFCS series began with “Logic at Botik,” Pereslavl-Zalessky, 1989, which was...

Case-based reasoning (CBR) is an artificial intelligence approach whereby new problems are solved by remembering, adapting and reusing solutions to a previously solved, similar problem. The collection of previously solved...

This textbook covers both fundamentals and advanced topics in computer-based recognition of objects in scenes. It is intended to be both a text and a reference. Almost every chapter has a “Fundamentals” section which is pedagogically structured as a textbook, and a “Topics” section which includes extensive references...

The ranker, a central component in every search engine, is responsible for the...
