Computer verstehen: Ein Streifzug durch das Innenleben eines Computers
by Jürgen NehmerDieses Sachbuch ist eine leicht verständliche Einführung in die grundsätzliche Arbeitsweise von modernen Computern und Computernetzen, das keine Vorkenntnisse voraussetzt. Es richtet sich an neugierige, technisch interessierte Computer-Laien, aber auch an Schüler vor ihrer Berufswahl und Personen, die sich für eine berufliche Laufbahn im IT-Bereich interessieren.Der in 16 übersichtlichen Kapiteln gestaltete Streifzug durch das Innenleben der modernen Computerwelt beginnt bei der Hardware-Architektur eines Computers und führt über Betriebssysteme und Computernetzwerke mit Schwerpunkt Internet bis hin zu Internetanwendungen und den zugrunde liegenden Softwaretechnologien.Eine Besonderheit des Sachbuches ist dessen Fokussierung auf grundlegende Konzepte aus der Computerwelt. Fachtermini werden sparsam benutzt, dann aber auch erklärt. Auf produkt- und herstellerspezifische Details wird nur eingegangen, wenn sie sich als Quasi-Standards in heutigen Computersystemen durchgesetzt haben. Notwendige mathematische Betrachtungen zur Zahlendarstellung in Computern übersteigen nicht das Niveau elementarer Schulmathematik.
Crowdsourcing of Sensor Cloud Services
by Azadeh Ghari Neiat Athman BouguettayaThis book develops a crowdsourced sensor-cloud service composition framework taking into account spatio-temporal aspects. This book also unfolds new horizons to service-oriented computing towards the direction of crowdsourced sensor data based applications, in the broader context of Internet of Things (IoT). It is a massive challenge for the IoT research field how to effectively and efficiently capture, manage and deliver sensed data as user-desired services. The outcome of this research will contribute to solving this very important question, by designing a novel service framework and a set of unique service selection and composition frameworks.Delivering a novel service framework to manage crowdsourced sensor data provides high-level abstraction (i.e., sensor-cloud service) to model crowdsourced sensor data from functional and non-functional perspectives, seamlessly turning the raw data into “ready to go” services. A creative indexing model is developed to capture and manage the spatio-temporal dynamism of crowdsourced service providers.Delivering novel frameworks to compose crowdsourced sensor-cloud services is vital. These frameworks focuses on spatio-temporal composition of crowdsourced sensor-cloud services, which is a new territory for existing service oriented computing research. A creative failure-proof model is also designed to prevent composition failure caused by fluctuating QoS.Delivering an incentive model to drive the coverage of crowdsourced service providers is also vital. A new spatio-temporal incentive model targets changing coverage of the crowdsourced providers to achieve demanded coverage of crowdsourced sensor-cloud services within a region.The outcome of this research is expected to potentially create a sensor services crowdsourcing market and new commercial opportunities focusing on crowdsourced data based applications. The crowdsourced community based approach adds significant value to journey planning and map services thus creating a competitive edge for a technologically-minded companies incentivizing new start-ups, thus enabling higher market innovation.This book primarily targets researchers and practitioners, who conduct research work in service oriented computing, Internet of Things (IoT), smart city and spatio-temporal travel planning, as well as advanced-level students studying this field. Small and Medium Entrepreneurs, who invest in crowdsourced IoT services and journey planning infrastructures, will also want to purchase this book.
Applied Computer Science for GGOS Observatories: Communication, Coordination and Automation of Future Geodetic Infrastructures (Springer Textbooks in Earth Sciences, Geography and Environment)
by Alexander NeidhardtThis book combines elementary theory from computer science with real challenges in global geodetic observation, based on examples from the Geodetic Observatory Wettzell, Germany. It starts with a step-by-step introduction for developing stable and safe scientific software. It continues with a network middleware for distributed systems using generative programming. A main focus of the book is the strategy and realization of autonomous production cells for space geodetic techniques. A satellite laser ranging system is shown as an example for this. These automated systems are combined for global interaction, and for coordinated multi-agent systems using secure tunnels on the example of radio telescopes.

Structural Optimization with Uncertainties
by Pekka Neittaanmäki N. V. BanichukThis monograph is devoted to the exposition of new ways of formulating problems of structural optimization with incomplete information and techniques of solution. Research results concerning the optimum shape and structural properties of the bodies subjected to external loadings are recapitulated. Problems of optimal design with incomplete information, accounting for the interaction between the structure and its environment, properties of materials, existence of initial damages and damage accumulation are studied. This volume treats overcoming the corresponding mathematical difficulties caused by raising local functionals. Most of the book is devoted to the minimax approach using worst case scenarios, i.e. the so-called guaranteed approach. However, the probabilistic approach, that does not guarantee the result, is also described in the monograph, because it gives more "optimistic" results. Also, the mixed probabilistic guaranteed approach is discussed and applied for the solution of structural optimization problems with uncertainties.

Accuracy Verification Methods: Theory and Algorithms (Computational Methods in Applied Sciences #32)
by Pekka Neittaanmäki Olli Mali Sergey RepinThe importance of accuracy verification methods was understood at the very beginning of the development of numerical analysis. Recent decades have seen a rapid growth of results related to adaptive numerical methods and a posteriori estimates. However, in this important area there often exists a noticeable gap between mathematicians creating the theory and researchers developing applied algorithms that could be used in engineering and scientific computations for guaranteed and efficient error control. The goals of the book are to (1) give a transparent explanation of the underlying mathematical theory in a style accessible not only to advanced numerical analysts but also to engineers and students; (2) present detailed step-by-step algorithms that follow from a theory; (3) discuss their advantages and drawbacks, areas of applicability, give recommendations and examples.
