Review Cyberdemocracy: Technology, Cities and Civic Networks / Routledge:Cyberdemocracy is a study of the potential for "electronic democracy" through the examination of case studies in US and European cities and civic projects. It aims to strike a balance between enthusiastic and dismissive approaches to "electronic democracy. " The authors consider the impact of new technology with regard to the history of broadcasting and communications technology-in particular, the ways in which the principles and requirements of public service and universal access will, or will not be maintained. This is a vigorous contribution to a vital debate about the state of democracy and the impact of communications technology. It will be essential reading for both students and policy makers.

Review Neural Networks and Machine Learning (NATO ASI Series / Computer and Systems Sciences) / Springer:In recent years neural computing has emerged as a practical technology, with successful applications in many fields. The majority of these applications are concerned with problems in pattern recognition, and make use of feedforward network architectures such as the multilayer perceptron and the radial basis function network. Also, it has become widely acknowledged that successful applications of neural computing require a principled, rather than ad hoc, approach. (From the preface to "Neural Networks for Pattern Recognition" by C. M. Bishop, Oxford Univ Press 1995. )This NATO volume, based on a 1997 workshop, presents a coordinated series of tutorial articles covering recent developments in the field of neural computing. It is ideally suited to graduate students and researchers.

Review A Process for Developing a Common Vocabulary in the Information Security Area (Nato Science for Peace and Security) / IOS Press:For the last years there are tendencies of growing numbers of cyber attacks and the scale of casualties has been growing as well. Cyber attacks against critically important segments of informational infrastructure including the systems of control of transport and dangerous industry are becoming more real. Since the attacks are made with the use of global informational infrastructure they could be organized from every part of the planet, which means that we can only resist them with the help of international cooperation. The scientific part of such strategies must have the adjustable terminology and the conception apparatus. Every scientific investigation - when it accompanies specialists from different countries - has to start with agreement upon the terminology. There is a need to harmonize different languages in which specialists speak in order to guarantee the information security. These are the languages of the lawyers, insurers, brokers, creators, technicians, law-enforcement structures and standardizations.

Review Data Security for Health Care: Technical Guidelines (Studies in Health Technology and Informatics, Vol 32) / Ios Pr Inc:The efficiency of modern health care relies increasingly upon a computerized infrastructure. It provides easy processing and communication of images, sound and texts, but its very ease of use can threaten patient privacy, accountability and health care professional secrecy. Developments in community care are also considered responsible for the fact that many aspects of patient care are delivered outside the closed walls of a hospital, and hence patient records must also be accessible and updated throughout the community. Therefore, the introduction of health care technology should focus primarily on the improvement of the health of patients, or at least should avoid putting patients' health at risk. The need for the right information to be available to the right person at the right time is vital. The contributors to this study argue that information technology deeply affects the confidential relationship between patient and doctor, since it increasingly surrounds and mediates it. Information systems in health care establishments are developing towards an integrated system where various users can interact and communicate. The contributers predict that this process of integration will cross the borders of local health care establishments, and that it will progressively expand into patients' homes, for example. Thus a European health care community will be formed, in order to support the mobility of patients, the exchange of medical and administrative data, and the transfer of bills and money. The study addresses the movement towards an integrated health care system. [+]This comprises Volume 32 in the series "Health, Technology and Informatics". The volumes are available separately or as a set.

Review High-Performance Networks for Multimedia Applications / Springer:High-Performance Networks for Multimedia Applications presents the latest research on the services and protocols for networks providing the communication support for distributed multimedia applications. The need for end-to-end QoS for these multimedia applications is raising the stakes for a powerful shaping and scheduling in the network adapter. It is also creating a need for new services at the ATM layer, CBR and VBR being augmented by UBR, ABR and GFR which have to be evaluated in the TCP/IP environment of today and tomorrow. With the pressure of all the new technologies available today, the backbone architecture needs to be revisited and the success of the TCP/IP must not eliminate the possibility of adding a native ATM access to it. Most of the research in communication services such as IntServ, DiffServ and Native ATM is driven by the requirements of multimedia systems and this book illustrates the new emphasis by bringing telecommunication and computer communication experts together with application designers. This is particularly true for the security issues also addressed here. Last but not least, modeling techniques and mathematical models are essential to assess the performance of the networks to be built and to evaluate next century scenarios unachievable by a simple scaling of today's solutions. High-Performance Networks for Multimedia Applications is a collection of high quality research papers and the in-depth treatment of the subjects provides interesting and innovative solutions. It is an essential reference for telecommunication and computer experts and QoS-based application designers. It is also a comprehensive text for graduate students in high-perforrnance networks and multimedia applications.

Review Scientific Support for the Decision Making in the Security Sector (Nato Science for Peace and Security) / IOS Press:Today's security environment is characterized by deep uncertainty. Threats are being posed not only by adversary (political) forces but may also come from natural challenges (be it energy, water, ecology or whatever). The types of operations that our civil security and military forces find themselves in today comprise a wide variety of tasks. The success criteria for these operations are a safe/secure environment for local population and stable conditions for state building rather than hit-kill ratio's against adversaries - the criteria are soft and the many actors involved may have divergent if not opposing objectives. And where actors intentionally share common objectives, they come from different cultural and organizational backgrounds, and their systems and modus operandi (doctrine) have loose or no connectivity. Under these complex and uncertain conditions decision making is a challenging process. This publication reflects the initial state of a dialogue between specialists in security and specialists in mathematics, computer and information sciences on security topics. Papers included in this volume are naturally subdivided into four parts showing the wide future perspective for synthesis between science and security: Planning for Security; Mathematical, Computer and Information Sciences Methods for Security; Environmental Security; and Dynamic Optimization for Security.
