Review Content-Based Audio Classification and Retrieval for Audiovisual Data Parsing (The Kluwer International Series in Engineering and Computer Science, Volume ... Series in Engineering and Computer Science) / Springer:

Content-Based Audio Classification and Retrieval for Audiovisual Data Parsing is an up-to-date overview of audio and video content analysis. Included is extensive treatment of audiovisual data segmentation, indexing and retrieval based on multimodal media content analysis, and content-based management of audio data. In addition to the commonly studied audio types such as speech and music, the authors have included hybrid types of sounds that contain more than one kind of audio component such as speech or environmental sound with music in the background. Emphasis is also placed on semantic-level identification and classification of environmental sounds. The authors introduce a new generic audio retrieval system on top of the audio archiving schemes. Both theoretical analysis and implementation issues are presented. The developing MPEG-7 standards are explored. Content-Based Audio Classification and Retrieval for Audiovisual Data Parsing will be especially useful to researchers and graduate level students designing and developing fully functional audiovisual systems for audio/video content parsing of multimedia streams.

Review Visual Representations and Interpretations / Springer:

There is often a great deal of discussion these days about multi-disciplinary research and the value of exchanging ideas and methods across traditional discipline boundaries. Indeed, it could be justifiably argued that many of the advances in science and engineering take place because the ideas, methods and the tools of thought from one discipline become re-applied in others. Sadly, it is also the case that many subject areas develop specialised vocabularies and concepts and indeed may also approach more general problems in fairly narrow subject-specific ways. As a result barriers develop between disciplines that prevent the free flow of ideas and the collaborations that could often bring success. This workshop is intended to break down such barriers. This volume contains papers written by researchers in the many varied disciplines that are actively investigating visual representations and interpretations.

Review Security Education and Critical Infrastructures / Springer:

In ways both obvious and obscure, information technology is transforming our daily lives, yet the penetration of information technology into our critical infrastructures is still in its early stages. Security is an enabling technology. If these systems are built to be trusted, so that our privacy is maintained, so that transaction integrity can be relied upon, and so that resources are there when needed, then new paradigms for work and play will emerge. The challenge for educators is to create ways to ensure that those who must construct our enabling technology are equipped with the foundations and knowledge required doing the job. Security Education and Critical Infrastructures presents the most recent developments in research and practice on teaching information security, and covers topics including: -Curriculum design; -Laboratory systems and exercises; -Security education program assessment; -Distance learning and web-based teaching of security; -Teaching computer forensics; -Laboratory-based system defense games; -Security education tools; -Education in security policies, management and system certification; -Case studies. This volume contains the papers selected for presentation at the third World Conference on Information Security Education (WISE3). The conference and workshops were sponsored by the International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP), organized by IFIP Working Group 11. 8, and held in Monterey, California, USA in June 2003.

Review Recent Advances in RSA Cryptography (Advances in Information Security) / Springer:

Recent Advances in RSA Cryptography surveys the most important achievements of the last 22 years of research in RSA cryptography. Special emphasis is laid on the description and analysis of proposed attacks against the RSA cryptosystem. The first chapters introduce the necessary background information on number theory, complexity and public key cryptography. Subsequent chapters review factorization algorithms and specific properties that make RSA attractive for cryptographers. Most recent attacks against RSA are discussed in the third part of the book (among them attacks against low-exponent RSA, Hastad's broadcast attack, and Franklin-Reiter attacks). Finally, the last chapter reviews the use of the RSA function in signature schemes. Recent Advances in RSA Cryptography is of interest to graduate level students and researchers who will gain an insight into current research topics in the field and an overview of recent results in a unified way. Recent Advances in RSA Cryptography is suitable as a secondary text for a graduate level course, and as a reference for researchers and practitioners in industry.

Review Inclusive Design Guidelines for HCI / CRC:

The elderly population is growing and disabilities tend to increase with age. Professionals in the fields of human-computer interaction (HCI) are becoming increasingly aware of the needs of the elderly and people with disabilities. They also need to ensure that systems are designed for all, with specific consideration of these groups, not only computing systems but also other assistive and adaptive technologies such as information services and the use of smart cards, assistive robotics, systems for travellers, and home and environmental control systems. This book will help designers world-wide find relevant guidelines for the design of human-computer interaction and ensure that systems are designed for all, with specific consideration of people who are elderly and people with disabilities. Including reports from the International Federation of Information Processing's Working Group on Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and Disability. The book will be the first compendium of guidelines.
