Advances in Teaching and Learning for Cyber Security Education (Lecture Notes in Networks and Systems #1213)
by Charles Clarke Phil Legg Natalie CoullThis book showcases latest trends and innovations for how we teach and approach cyber security education. Cyber security underpins the technological advances of the 21st century and is a fundamental requirement in today’s society. Therefore, how we teach and educate on topics of cyber security and how we overcome challenges in this space require a collective effort between academia, industry and government. The variety of works in this book include AI and LLMs for cyber security, digital forensics and how teaching cases can be generated at scale, events and initiatives to inspire the younger generations to pursue cyber pathways, assessment methods that provoke and develop adversarial cyber security mindsets and innovative approaches for teaching cyber management concepts. As a rapidly growing area of education, there are many fascinating examples of innovative teaching and assessment taking place; however, as a community we can do more to share best practice and enhance collaboration across the education sector. CSE Connect is a community group that aims to promote sharing and collaboration in cyber security education so that we can upskill and innovate the community together. The chapters of this book were presented at the 4th Annual Advances in Teaching and Learning for Cyber Security Education conference, hosted by CSE Connect at the University of the West of England, Bristol, the UK, on July 2, 2024. The book is of interest to educators, students and practitioners in cyber security, both for those looking to upskill in cyber security education, as well as those aspiring to work within the cyber security sector.
Advances in Technological Innovations in Higher Education: Theory and Practices (Innovations in Intelligent Internet of Everything (IoE))
by Adarsh Garg Valentina E Balas B V BabuThe evolution of technology in education can no longer be comprehended simply by looking at the use of computers and networks. Technology is not just a supplementary tool to the conventional method of education. Education has to undergo a complete transformation with technological innovations for the sustainability of quality education as a system and not in silos. Sustainability in education also necessitates a more workable strategy to realize socially viable educational policies and practices which can focus more on personalized learning. Due to various factors like emerging technologies; changing needs of the learners; policy reforms for enhancing employability; and emphasis on uninterrupted education as in the case of the pandemic scenario of COVID-19, there is a need to steer a major transition in the education system. The education system has to be real and proficient for it to be instrumental to nurture an informed and knowledgeable society. This book on technological innovations in higher education is organized, largely, based on the diversity of higher education ecosystems that are supported by technological innovations. Various author viewpoints give insights into the full potential of technology as well as its risks in interrelated areas of higher education to work towards sustainability of value-based quality education across the globe.

Advances in Trefftz Methods and Their Applications (SEMA SIMAI Springer Series #23)
by Carlos Alves Andreas Karageorghis Vitor Leitão Svilen ValtchevIn this book we gather recent mathematical developments and engineering applications of Trefftz methods, with particular emphasis on the Method of Fundamental Solutions (MFS). These are true meshless methods that have the advantage of avoiding the need to set up a mesh altogether, and therefore going beyond the reduction of the mesh to a boundary. These Trefftz methods have advantages in several engineering applications, for instance in inverse problems where the domain is unknown and some numerical methods would require a remeshing approach.Trefftz methods are also known to perform very well with regular domains and regular data in boundary value problems, achieving exponential convergence. On the other hand, they may also under certain conditions, exhibit instabilities and lead to ill-conditioned systems. This book is divided into ten chapters that illustrate recent advances in Trefftz methods and their application to engineering problems. The first eight chapters are devoted to the MFS and variants whereas the last two chapters are devoted to related meshless engineering applications. Part of these selected contributions were presented in the 9th International Conference on Trefftz Methods and 5th International Conference on the MFS, held in 2019, July 29-31, in Lisbon, Portugal.
Advances in Type-2 Fuzzy Sets and Systems: Theory and Applications (Studies in Fuzziness and Soft Computing #301)
by Jerry Mendel Alireza Sadeghian Hooman TahayoriThis book explores recent developments in the theoretical foundations and novel applications of general and interval type-2 fuzzy sets and systems, including: algebraic properties of type-2 fuzzy sets, geometric-based definition of type-2 fuzzy set operators, generalizations of the continuous KM algorithm, adaptiveness and novelty of interval type-2 fuzzy logic controllers, relations between conceptual spaces and type-2 fuzzy sets, type-2 fuzzy logic systems versus perceptual computers; modeling human perception of real world concepts with type-2 fuzzy sets, different methods for generating membership functions of interval and general type-2 fuzzy sets, and applications of interval type-2 fuzzy sets to control, machine tooling, image processing and diet. The applications demonstrate the appropriateness of using type-2 fuzzy sets and systems in real world problems that are characterized by different degrees of uncertainty.
