Monte Carlo Simulation in Statistical Physics: An Introduction (Graduate Texts in Physics #Vol. 80)
by Dieter W. Heermann Kurt BinderThe sixth edition of this highly successful textbook provides a detailed introduction to Monte Carlo simulation in statistical physics, which deals with the computer simulation of many-body systems in condensed matter physics and related fields of physics and beyond (traffic flows, stock market fluctuations, etc.). Using random numbers generated by a computer, these powerful simulation methods calculate probability distributions, making it possible to estimate the thermodynamic properties of various systems. The book describes the theoretical background of these methods, enabling newcomers to perform such simulations and to analyse their results. It features a modular structure, with two chapters providing a basic pedagogic introduction plus exercises suitable for university courses; the remaining chapters cover major recent developments in the field.This edition has been updated with two new chapters dealing with recently developed powerful special algorithms and with finite size scaling tools for the study of interfacial phenomena, which are important for nanoscience. Previous editions have been highly praised and widely used by both students and advanced researchers.

Verification and Evaluation of Computer and Communication Systems: 14th International Conference, VECoS 2020, Xi'an, China, October 26–27, 2020, Proceedings (Lecture Notes in Computer Science #12519)
by Belgacem Ben Hedia Yu-Fang Chen Gaiyun Liu Zhenhua YuThis book constitutes the proceedings of the 14th International Conference on Verification and Evaluation of Computer and Communication Systems, VECoS 2020, which was supposed to be held in Xi’an, China, in October 2020, but was held virtually instead. The 19 full papers and 1 short paper presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 60 submissions. The aim of the VECoS conference is to bring together researchers and practitioners in the areas of verification, control, performance, and dependability evaluation in order to discuss state of the art and challenges in modern computer and communication systems in which functional and extra-functional properties are strongly interrelated. Thus, the main motivation for VECoS is to encourage the cross-fertilization between various formal verification and evaluation approaches, methods and techniques, and especially those developed for concurrent and distributed hardware/software systems. The papers are organized in the following topical sections: petri-net, simulation, and scheduling; formal modeling and verification, testing; and artificial intelligence and machine learning.
R2DBC Revealed: Reactive Relational Database Connectivity for Java and JVM Programmers
by Robert HedgpethUnderstand the newest trend in database programming for developers working in Java, Kotlin, Clojure, and other JVM-based languages. This book introduces Reactive Relational Database Connectivity (R2DBC), a modern way of connecting to and querying relational databases from Java and other JVM languages. The book begins by helping you understand not only what reactive programming is, but why it is necessary. Then building on those fundamentals, the book takes you into the world of databases and the newly released Reactive Relational Database Connectivity (R2DBC) specification. Examples in the book are worked using the freely available MariaDB database along with MariaDB’s vendor-implementation of the R2DBC service-provider interface (SPI). Following along with the examples and the provided example code helps prepare you to work with any of the growing number of R2DBC implementations for popular enterprise databases such as Oracle Database and SQL Server. You’ll be well prepared for what is becoming the future of database access from Java and other languages built on the JVM.What You Will LearnUnderstand why R2DBC was created and how it utilizes the Reactive Streams API Understand the components of the R2DBC service-provider interfaceCreate and manage reactive database connections and connection pools using an R2DBC clientProgrammatically execute queries on a relational database using an R2DBC clientEffectively utilize transactions using an R2DBC clientBuild relational database-driven applications that are event-driven and non-blockingWho This Book Is ForSoftware developers building solutions using JVM languages and the JVM ecosystem, and developers who need an introduction to the R2DBC specification and reactive programming with relational databases and want to understand what Reactive Relational Database Connectivity is and why it came about. This book includes practical examples of using the R2DBC specification with Java and MariaDB that will provide developers with the knowledge they need to create their own solutions.

SPSS/PC+ Made Simple
by John HeddersonAfter twelve years of teaching SPSS, SPSSx, and SPSS/PC+, I am convinced that SPSS/PC+ is not easy for the average college student to learn. I am also convinced that it is not easy to teach from the program manuals. Students who are experienced with statistics and programming or students with a high aptitude for this type of work will learn SPSS/PC+ easily. The rest suffer. Typically, my students have scant training in statistics or programming. Often they are not comfortable with mathematics, computers, and "that sort of thing." I wrote SPSS/PC+ Made Simple to help these students and their instructors

Cyber Denial, Deception and Counter Deception: A Framework for Supporting Active Cyber Defense (Advances in Information Security #64)
by Kristin E. Heckman Frank J. Stech Roshan K. Thomas Ben Schmoker Alexander W. TsowThis book presents the first reference exposition of the Cyber-Deception Chain: a flexible planning and execution framework for creating tactical, operational, or strategic deceptions. This methodology bridges the gap between the current uncoordinated patchwork of tactical denial and deception (D&D) techniques and their orchestration in service of an organization's mission. Concepts for cyber- D&D planning operations and management are detailed within the larger organizational, business, and cyber defense context. It examines the necessity of a comprehensive, active cyber denial scheme. The authors explain the organizational implications of integrating D&D with a legacy cyber strategy, and discuss trade-offs, maturity models, and lifecycle management. Chapters present the primary challenges in using deception as part of a security strategy, and guides users through the steps to overcome common obstacles. Both revealing and concealing fact and fiction have a critical role in securing private information. Detailed case studies are included. Cyber Denial, Deception and Counter Deception is designed as a reference for professionals, researchers and government employees working in cybersecurity. Advanced-level students in computer science focused on security will also find this book useful as a reference or secondary text book.
