Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Obwohl digitale Medien in den letzten Jahren gewaltiges Wachstum erfahren haben, ist die Gewährleistung der Authentizität der Daten, um die Identität des Besitzers oder Senders zu garantieren, Urheberrechte durchzusetzen, den Nachweis der Unversehrtheit und Integrität zu erbringen oder Manipulationen zu erkennen weitgehend ungelöst. Digitale Wasserzeichenverfahren bieten hier Lösungen. Sie erlauben den Nachweis von Authentizität oder Integrität, indem Informationen direkt in das Datenmaterial eingefügt werden. Die eingebrachte Information ist nicht wahrnehmbar und so mit den Daten verwoben, daß einfaches Entfernen unmöglich ist, ohne das Datenmaterial zu beschädigen. Ziel des Buches ist es, digitale Wasserzeichenverfahren für Multimediadaten vorzustellen, zu beschreiben und zu bewerten. Die beigefügte CD-ROM ermöglicht es, Markierungstechniken beispielhaft auszuprobieren, das Testmaterial veranschaulicht die Ergebnisse. TOC:Motivation und Einführung.- Allgemeine Sicherheitsanforderungen in Multimedia Applikationen.- Digitale Wasserzeichen.- Nicht-wahrnehmbare robuste Wasserzeichen zur Urheberidentifizierung.- Digitale Fingerabdrücke als Spezialfall der Wasserzeichen zur Kundenidentifizierung.- Nicht-wahrnehmbare fragile Wasserzeichen zur Integritätsprüfung.- Offene Probleme und Herausforderungen.- Anwendungen.- Ausblick. 196 pp. Deutsch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The aim of this book is to bring together approaches from different subfields of Artificial Intelligence as well as adjoint disciplines in order to characterize a 'computational model' of conflicts. The different views on computational conflicts are motivated as follows: Conflicts can occur in organizations among human agents, as well as in computational systems such as knowledge-based systems, or multi-agent systems. They can appear during problem solving or during communication. Their nature or processing can also be specific for some tasks (such as concurrent engineering and design). They can be formalized and techniques can be offered for detecting, managing or avoiding them. 252 pp. Englisch. …

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Another year, another workshop. Here are the proceedings of the seventh Cambridge International Workshop on Security Protocols. All very well, you may think, but can there really still be anything genuinely new to say Is it not just the same old things a tiny bit better Well, perhaps surprisingly, this year we discoveredsome radically new things beginning to happen. The reasons in retrospect are not far to seek: advances in technology, changes in the system context, and new types of consumer devices and applications have combined to expose new security requirements. This has led not only to new protocols and models, but also to known protocols being deployedindelicate newways,withpreviousfragilitiesofwatermarkingand- tual authentication, for example, becoming desirable features. At the workshop we identi ed several of these developments and began to map out some lines of enquiry. This volume brings you a selection of deliberately disputatious position - pers, followed by not-quite-verbatim transcripts of the discussions which they provoked. As always, our purpose in making these proceedings available to you is the hope that they will move your thinking in an unexpected direction. If you nd your attention caught by something here, if it makes you pause to re ect, or to think 'why, that is justso wrong',then good. We're waiting for your mail. 244 pp. Englisch.…

It took place at Korea University, Seoul, Korea, December 9-10, 1999. Jong In Lee of Korea University was responsible for the organization. The call for papers brought 61 papers from 10 countries on four continents. As in the last year the review process was totally blind. The informationabout - thors or their a liationwas not given to Technical Program Committee (TPC) members. Each TPC member was random-coded and did not even know who wasreviewing which paper. The 23 TPC members nallyselected 20 top-quality papers for presentation at ICISC 1999 together with one invited talk. Serge Vaudenay gave an invited talk on Provable Security for Conventional Crypt- raphy . Many people contributed to ICISC 99. First of all I would like to thank all the authorswho submitted papers.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -A logic-based approach to the design of computing systems would, undoubtedly, offer many advantages over the imperative paradigm most commonly applied so far for programming and hardware design and, consequently, logic, again and again, has been heralded as the basis for the next generation of computer systems. While logic and formal methods are indeed gaining ground in many areas of computer science and artificial intelligence the expected revolution has not yet happened. In this book the author offers a convincing solution to the ramification problem and qualification problem associated with the frame problem and thus contributes to a satisfactory solution of the core problem and related challenges. Thielscher bases his approach on the fluent calculus, a first-order Prolog-like formalism allowing forthe description of actions and change. 160 pp. Englisch. …

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Experimental progress over the past few years has made it possible to test a n- ber of fundamental physical concepts related to the motion of electrons in low dimensions. The production and experimental control of novel structures with typical sizes in the sub-micrometer regime has now become possible. In parti- lar, semiconductors are widely used in order to con ne the motion of electrons in two-dimensional heterostructures. The quantum Hall e ect was one of the rst highlights of the new physics that is revealed by this con nement. In a further step of the technological development in semiconductor-heterostructures, other arti cial devices such as quasi one-dimensional 'quantum wires' and 'quantum dots' (arti cial atoms) have also been produced. These structures again di er very markedly from three- and two-dimensional systems, especially in relation to the transport of electrons and the interaction with light. Although the technol- ical advances and the experimental skills connected with these new structures are progressing extremely fast, our theoretical understanding of the physical e ects (such as the quantum Hall e ect) is still at a very rudimentary level. In low-dimensional structures, the interaction of electrons with one another and with other degrees of freedoms such as lattice vibrations or light gives rise to new phenomena that are very di erent from those familiar in the bulk ma- rial. The theoretical formulation of the electronic transport properties of small devices may be considered well-established, provided interaction processes are neglected. 232 pp. Englisch.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -A very comprehensive book, enabling the reader to understand the basic formalisms used in electronic structure determination and particularly the 'Muffin Tin Orbitals' methods. The latest developments are presented, providing a very detailed description of the 'Full Potential' schemes. This book will provide a real state of the art, since almost all of the contributions on formalism have not been, and will not be, published elsewhere. This book will become a standard reference volume. Moreover, applications in very active fields of today's research on magnetism are presented. A wide spectrum of such questions is covered by this book. For instance, the paper on interlayer exchange coupling should become a 'classic', since there has been fantastic experimental activity for 10 years and this can be considered to be the 'final' theoretical answer to this question. This work has never been presented in such a complete form.Springer-Verlag KG, Sachsenplatz 4-6, 1201 Wien 476 pp. Englisch.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -As a basis for printed property charts and tables, empirical multiparameter equa tions of state have been the most important source of accurate thermodynamic property data for more than 30 years now. However, due to increasing demands on the accuracy of thermodynamic property data in computerised calculations as well as the availability of appropriate software tools, and the ever increasing computer power, such formulations are nowadays becoming a valuable tool for everyday work. This development has substantially increased the number of scientists, engi neers, and students who are working with empirical multiparameter equations of state, and it continues to do so. Nevertheless, common knowledge on this kind of thermodynamic property models and on the ongoing progress in this scientific discipline is still very limited. Multiparameter equations of state do not belong to the topics which are taught intensively in thermodynamic courses in engineering and natural sciences and the books and articles where they are published mainly deal with the thermodynamic properties of certain substances rather than with the theoretical background of the used equations of state. In contrast to this, my concern mainly was to give a survey of the theoretical background of multiparameter equations of state both with regard to their application and their development. 388 pp. Englisch. …

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -To write everything about nothing, or to write nothing about everything: this is the problem. (Anonym, circa 1996-97) The first idea to write a book on M athematical Economics, more or less ordered in a historical sequence, occurred to me in 1995, when I was asked, by Istituto delta Enciclopedia Italiana, to write the entry 'Storia dell'economia 1 2 matematica' , for the collective work 'Storia deI XX Secolo'. I thought that it would be interesting to elaborate on the text presented to the editors, to turn it into a book aiming at giving a panorama of what, in my opinion, are the main 20th century contributions to mathematical eco nomics. Of course, only a narrow set of the contributions made by economic theorists could be included, both for space limitations and necessity, because 3 of the limited competence of any single author. For instance, I have paid very limited attention to what is now called Macroeconomics, and also to Game Theory, which actually has grown so much as to acquire scientific in dependence as a living branch of applied mathematics. For the same reason, I have also left completely untouched such fields as Mathematical Finance, Public Economics, Theory of Taxation, etc. I have always based my presentation on published material only, assuming that what is contained in working papers still waits to be confirmed, possibly in the first years of the 21th century. 548 pp. Englisch.…

This work has never been presented in such a complete form. This book displays the latest developments in the determinatioin of the electronic structure of solids and the physical properties which can be described from the electronic structure. Special emphasis is placed on the Linear Muffin Tin Orbital method for ground state and excited state calculation. The state-of-the-art of the formalisms is presented, from the venerable Atomic Sphere Approximation to the Full Potential schemes. The efficiency of this method is shown in various situations: magnetic properties, interlayer exchange coupling, metallic alloys, d- and f-electron systems. The latter part of the book is devoted to large-scale real-space calculations, including an introduction to sparse direct methods. With the aim of maximizing tutorial value, experts in each domain present over ten years of work, which has been published only in specialised papers before and now becomes available for researchers as well as students and teachers in solid state physics or materials science. 476 pp. Englisch.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Numerous experiments and calculations have shown that isolated metal clusters possess many interesting features, quite different from those known from surface and solid- state physics or from atomic and molecular physics. The technological exploitation of these new properties, e.g. in miniature electronic or mechanical components, requires the cluster to be brought into an environment such as an encapsulating matrix or a surface. Due to the interaction with the contact medium, the properties of the clusters may change or even disappear. Thus the physics of cluster-on-surface systems -- the main subject of this book -- is of fundamental importance. The book addresses a wide audience, from the newcomer to the expert. Starting from fundamental concepts of adsorbate-surface interactions, the modification of electronic properties through electron confinement, and concepts of cluster production, it elucidates the distinct properties of the new metallic nanostructures. 328 pp. Englisch.…
