Al, Healthcare and Law
In a fully digitized world and hyper-connected society, artificial intelligence (AI) is developing more and more each day. In the aftermath of the Covid-19 pandemic, it seems appropriate to examine the real or imagined progress of AI in terms of human health. Like artificial intelligence, health is a field that involves a wide range of research disciplines. In order to better define and understand these social and technical developments, Al, Healthcare and Law brings together the thoughts and analyses of doctors, lawyers, economists and computer scientists. Through a wide range of original overviews of the issues involved, the book addresses questions such as the development of telemedicine, the use of medical data, the increased human perspective or medical ethics, and takes a multi-disciplinary and accessible approach to questioning the relationship between humans and computers, between the intimate and the machine.

Evolutionary Large-Scale Multi-Objective Optimization and Applications
Tackle the most challenging problems in science and engineering with these cutting-edge algorithms Multi-objective optimization problems (MOPs) are those in which more than one objective needs to be optimized simultaneously. As a ubiquitous component of research and engineering projects, these problems are notoriously challenging. In recent years, evolutionary algorithms (EAs) have shown significant promise in their ability to solve MOPs, but challenges remain at the level of large-scale multi-objective optimization problems (LSMOPs), where the number of variables increases and the optimized solution is correspondingly harder to reach. Evolutionary Large-Scale Multi-Objective Optimization and Applications constitutes a systematic overview of EAs and their capacity to tackle LSMOPs. It offers an introduction to both the problem class and the algorithms before delving into some of the cutting-edge algorithms which have been specifically adapted to solving LSMOPs. Deeply engaged with specific applications and alert to the latest developments in the field, it's a must-read for students and researchers facing these famously complex but crucial optimization problems. The book's readers will also find: * Analysis of multi-optimization problems in fields such as machine learning, network science, vehicle routing, and more * Discussion of benchmark problems and performance indicators for LSMOPs * Presentation of a new taxonomy of algorithms in the field Evolutionary Large-Scale Multi-Objective Optimization and Applications is ideal for advanced students, researchers, and scientists and engineers facing complex optimization problems.

Cybersecurity in the Transportation Industry
The movement of people and goods from one location to another has always been essential to human development and survival. People are now exploring new methods of carrying goods. Transportation infrastructure is critical to the growth of a global community that is more united and connected. The presented cybersecurity framework is an example of a risk-based method for managing cybersecurity risk. An organisation can find opportunities to strengthen and explain its management of cybersecurity risk by using its existing procedures and leveraging the framework. The framework can provide a foundation for businesses that do not currently have a formal cybersecurity program. However, there is a strong temptation to give in when a transportation company is facing a loss of millions of dollars and the disruption of the worldwide supply chain. Automobile production, sales, trucking, and shipping are high-value industries for transportation enterprises. Scammers know that these corporations stand to lose much more in terms of corporate revenue and reputation than even the highest ransom demands, making them appealing targets for their schemes. This book will address the increasing risk of cyberattacks and offer solutions and insight on the safety and security of passengers, cargo, and transportation infrastructure to enhance the security concepts of communication systems and the dynamic vendor ecosystem.

The Reign of Botnets
A top-to-bottom discussion of website bot attacks and how to defend against them In The Reign of Botnets: Defending Against Abuses, Bots and Fraud on the Internet, fraud and bot detection expert David Senecal delivers a timely and incisive presentation of the contemporary bot threat landscape and the latest defense strategies used by leading companies to protect themselves. The author uses plain language to lift the veil on bots and fraud, making a topic critical to your website's security easy to understand and even easier to implement. You'll learn how attackers think, what motivates them, how their strategies have evolved over time, and how website owners have changed their own behaviors to keep up with their adversaries. You'll also discover how you can best respond to patterns and incidents that pose a threat to your site, your business, and your customers. The book includes: * A description of common bot detection techniques exploring the difference between positive and negative security strategies and other key concepts * A method for assessing and analyzing bot activity, to evaluate the accuracy of the detection and understand the botnet sophistication * A discussion about the challenge of data collection for the purpose of providing security and balancing the ever-present needs for user privacy Ideal for web security practitioners and website administrators, The Reign of Botnets is the perfect resource for anyone interested in learning more about web security. It's a can't-miss book for experienced professionals and total novices alike. [256 Pages, Softcover]
