The worlds synthesized in the cyberspaces of networked computers are the theme of Cyberworlds. Cyberspaces have come into prominence with the de velopment of the Internet and are expected to expand drastically with the emergence of national and international information systems. The purpose is to discover the architecture and design of cy of the book Cyberworlds berworlds by synthesizing worlds in cyberspaces. The underlying philosophy is crucial to the success of the architecture, and an initial effort is made to delineate it at the beginning of the book. The book's topics are selected to clarify the issues of the philosophy, architecture, and design of cyberworlds through a wide variety of case studies. The approach presented in the book is thus characterized as synthetic rather than analytic. There already are numbers of books with observations and analyses of cyberworlds. They warn of the danger of widespread crimes and accidents in the cyberworlds, for instance. Without a philosophy and methodologies of how to architecturally design and synthesize the cyber worlds, the worlds in cyberspaces tend to be arbitrarily extended, disordered, and, in extreme cases, criminal. This book is intended to benefit readers by providing them with a possible direction to take in deciding how to synthesize worlds in cyberspaces. Cre ating new worlds in new spaces with almost unlimited dimension and scale is an immense challenge. In principle, anyone at any moment can participate in the creation. The book serves as a creator's reference and also as a design guidebook.

Amidst the sensationalist claims about the dangers of the Internet, Virtually Criminal provides an empirically grounded criminological analysis of deviance and regulation within an online community. It integrates theory and empiricism to forge an explanation of cybercrime whilst offering new insights into online regulation. One of the first studies to further our understanding of the causes of cyber deviance, crime and its control, this groundbreaking study from Matthew Williams takes the Internet as a site of social and cultural (re)production, and acknowledges the importance of online social/cultural formations in the genesis and regulation of cyber deviance and crime. A blend of criminological, sociological and linguistic theory, this book provides a unique understanding of the aetiology of cybercrime and deviance. Focus group and offence data are analyzed and an interrelationship between online community, deviance and regulation is established. The subject matter of the book is inherently transnational. It makes extensive use of a number of international case studies, ensuring it is relevant to readers in multiple countries (especially the US, the UK and Australasia). Pioneering and innovative, this fascinating book will be of interest to students and researchers across the disciplines of sociology, criminology, law and media and communication studies.

The book first explores the cybersecurity’s landscape and the inherent susceptibility of online communication system such as e-mail, chat conversation and social media in cybercrimes. Common sources and resources of digital crimes, their causes and effects together with the emerging threats for society are illustrated in this book. This book not only explores the growing needs of cybersecurity and digital forensics but also investigates relevant technologies and methods to meet the said needs. Knowledge discovery, machine learning and data analytics are explored for collecting cyber-intelligence and forensics evidence on cybercrimes. Online communication documents, which are the main source of cybercrimes are investigated from two perspectives: the crime and the criminal. AI and machine learning methods are applied to detect illegal and criminal activities such as bot distribution, drug trafficking and child pornography. Authorship analysis is applied to identify the potential suspects and their social linguistics characteristics. Deep learning together with frequent pattern mining and link mining techniques are applied to trace the potential collaborators of the identified criminals. Finally, the aim of the book is not only to investigate the crimes and identify the potential suspects but, as well, to collect solid and precise forensics evidence to prosecute the suspects in the court of law.

The Internet has emerged as one of the most important means of communication in the modern period, and social networking sites account for a significant proportion of time spent online. In 2021, it is anticipated that there will be a total of 3.78 billion individuals utilising social media. As a result of more people using the internet and social media, cybersecurity has arisen as one of the most pressing problems that have surfaced over the course of the last few years. The internet has developed into a fundamental component of modern life, acting as the primary centre for effective communication in the modern age. Due to this, a range of cyber risks, such as hackers, wire fraud, and certain other types of damage, as well as black hat hackers, online harassment, and cyberattacks, have turned the internet into a vulnerability. It has been shown that social media sites include a variety of cyber threats. A higher level of awareness is associated with a smaller number of people reporting engaging in risky activities online. According to the National Investigation Agency's (NCRB) sources, social media platforms are used in one out of every six instances of online criminal activity in India. According to data released by the National Crime Records Bureau, there was an increase of around 70 per cent in the number of cybercrimes committed annually between 2013 and 2015.

The cyberworld fast rolling in and impacting every aspect of human living on the globe today presents an enormous challenge to humankind. It is taken up by the media following current events through to all kinds of natural- and social-scientific discourses. Digitized technoscience develops at a breakneck pace in all areas accompanied by sociological analysis. What is missing is a philosophical response genuinely posing the basic ontological question: What is a digital being's peculiar mode of being? The present study offers a digital ontology that analyzes the dissolution of beings into bit-strings, driven by mathematized science. The mathematization of knowledge reaches back to Pythagoras, Plato and Aristotle, and continues with Descartes, Galileo, Newton, Leibniz. Western knowledge from its inception has always been driven by an unbridled will to efficient-causal power over all kinds of movement and change. This historical trajectory culminates in the universal Turing machine that enables efficient, automated, algorithmic control over the movement of digital beings through the cyberworld. The book fills in the ontological foundations underpinning this brave new cyberworld and interrogates them, especially by questioning the millennia-old conception of 1D-linear time. An alternative ontology of movement arises, based on a radically alternative conception of 3D-time.

Smart technologies have quickly evolved to become integral parts of our homes and how we manage our lives, and they’re foreseen to be integral to (or already a part of) the next big steps in urban infrastructure. Along with the convenience and improvements promised by these “smart cities,” however, comes a new set of challenges. How literate are citizens and governments in smart technologies? Do we understand our data rights and what data is being collected and when? And how can these smart cities be set up to emphasize the needs of citizens and with the means to defend against and recover from threats? Smart City Cyber Resilience sets out to answer those questions, putting human capital at the forefront. Tam Thanh Doan brings his years of research and experience in the field to discussing: • How we’ve transformed, technologically and socially, into a smart, Internet of Things culture • The data rights of citizens and how smart cities can be structured as ecosystems that support those rights • Desirable smart city outcomes for all stakeholders • How to improve the understanding of “cyber resilience,” and reimagined, citizen-focused approaches to cyber resilience in smart cities The development of smart technology and the handling of data feels increasingly out of the control of the average person, but Doan makes it clear: Your perception matters, and this book is your first step to having greater understanding and agency in the smart ecosystem of today and tomorrow.
