The Impact of Cloud Computing on the Japanese Macroeconomy (Advances in Information and Communication Research #6)
by Atsushi OzuThis book focuses on the economic aspects of cloud computing, a critical ICT infrastructure in our digital age. The market for cloud computing is rapidly expanding and changing the nature of business in all industries. This book estimates and analyzes the impact of the diffusion of cloud computing on the Japanese macroeconomy, employing model-based simulations. Cloud computing services are being provided not only as simple data storage services but also as various value-added services. The market has shifted to an oligopoly, with a limited number of big-name global firms as the main players. This book quantitatively estimates the impact of this shift on Japan’s utility-based social welfare. The book also discusses public policy measures that can enhance free competition in a cloud computing market with oligopolistic characteristics. One aim of this book is to provide policymakers and researchers with fundamental data and an analytic approach that can be used to formulate public policy around cloud computing in terms of both regulation and market promotion.

The Impact of the Energy Dependency on Critical Infrastructure Protection: Proceedings of the 5th International Conference on Central European Critical Infrastructure Protection (ICCECIP 2023), Budapest, Hungary (Advanced Sciences and Technologies for Security Applications)
by Tünde Anna Kovács Norbert Daruka Róbert Gábor StadlerThis book presents cutting-edge research on the impact of energy dependence and strategies to mitigate it. As a crucial component of critical infrastructure, energy security is a top priority for nations worldwide. The protection of this infrastructure, along with the latest research tools and methodologies, is of significant interest to both policymakers and industry leaders. The book delves into two primary areas of research: cybersecurity and physical security, summarizing the latest findings in these critical fields. The papers in this volume offer valuable insights for both academic and industrial audiences, addressing the pressing challenges of energy security. Energy is integral to every aspect of our daily lives. Our comfort, as well as our safety, hinges on the uninterrupted supply of energy. Recent global events, particularly the Russian-Ukrainian war, have underscored the vulnerability of nations lacking sufficient energy resources. Europe's energy supply has been severely disrupted by sanctions, highlighting the need for energy resilience. However, this crisis has also accelerated the adoption of renewable energy sources, marking a pivotal shift towards sustainable energy solutions.

The Importance of Being Educable: A New Theory of Human Uniqueness
by Leslie ValiantIn the age of AI, why our future depends on better understanding what makes us humanWe are at a crossroads in history. If we hope to share our planet successfully with one another and the AI systems we are creating, we must reflect on who we are, how we got here, and where we are heading. The Importance of Being Educable puts forward a provocative new exploration of the extraordinary facility of humans to absorb and apply knowledge. The remarkable &“educability&” of the human brain can be understood as an information processing ability. It sets our species apart, enables the civilization we have, and gives us the power and potential to set our planet on a steady course. Yet it comes hand in hand with an insidious weakness. While we can readily absorb entire systems of thought about worlds of experience beyond our own, we struggle to judge correctly what information we should trust.In this visionary book, Leslie Valiant argues that understanding the nature of our own educability is crucial to safeguarding our future. After breaking down how we process information to learn and apply knowledge, and drawing comparisons with other animals and AI systems, he explains why education should be humankind&’s central preoccupation.Will the unique capability that has been so foundational to our achievements and civilization continue to drive our progress, or will we fall victim to our vulnerabilities? If we want to play to our species&’ great strength and protect our collective future, we must better understand and prioritize the vital importance of being educable. This book provides a road map.

The Importance of Speculation in Design Research (Synthesis Lectures on Human-Centered Informatics)
by Ron Wakkary Doenja OogjesThis book explores speculation in design research in the field of human-computer interaction (HCI). The authors reveal how speculative reasoning in design research increases the capacity of HCI to address a wider array of social and research challenges. Speculation in design research employs (1) leaps of imagination, (2) diverse ways of knowing or epistemologies, (3) ethical reflexivity, (4) and makes alternate possibilities experiential. This book shows how each can be productively and critically applied together through existing, emerging, and new research approaches in HCI. The aim of this book is to generously see speculation as more than a form of critique or genre of design research, to instead be seen as broadly central to the material investigations that govern much of the field. In doing so, the book aims to expand the potential role of speculation in HCI and shows how speculation is applicable to a wide range of research goals, which, in turn, creates research approaches in new directions. In expanding the approach and methodology of speculation in HCI, the books draw inspiration from other disciplines and intersectional perspectives. By examining current, emerging, and possible new forms of speculation methods, this book will be of interest to undergraduate and graduate students in HCI as well as seasoned researchers and practitioners.
