This book provides a major forum for the technical advancement of knowledge management and its applications across diversified domains. Pursuing an interdisciplinary approach, it focuses on methods used to identify and acquire valid, potentially useful knowledge sources. Managing the gathered knowledge and applying it to multiple domains including health care, social networks, data mining, recommender systems, image processing, pattern recognition and predictions using machine learning techniques is the major strength of this book. Effective knowledge management has become a key to the success of business organizations, and can offer a substantial competitive edge. So as to be accessible to all scholars, this book combines the core ideas of knowledge management and its applications in numerous domains, illustrated in case studies. The techniques and concepts proposed here can be extended in future to accommodate changing business organizations’ needs as well as practitioners’ innovative ideas.
This book gathers selected papers presented at the 3rd Conference on Computing Systems and Applications (CSA’2018), held at the Ecole Militaire Polytechnique, Algiers, Algeria on April 24–25, 2018. The CSA’2018 constitutes a leading forum for exchanging, discussing and leveraging modern computer systems technology in such varied fields as: data science, computer networks and security, information systems and software engineering, and computer vision. The contributions presented here will help promote and advance the adoption of computer science technologies in industrial, entertainment, social, and everyday applications. Though primarily intended for students, researchers, engineers and practitioners working in the field, it will also benefit a wider audience interested in the latest developments in the computer sciences.

This comprehensive yet accessible text provides a good introduction to the fundamental concepts of Information Technology and skillfully elaborates on their applications, covering in the process the entire spectrum of IT related topics. Organized into three parts, the book offers an insightful analysis of the subject, explaining the concepts through suitable illustrations. Part I covers basic issues and concepts of Internet and the techniques of acquiring, storing, structuring and managing information that may involve images, text files and video data. The reader is exposed to both centralized and distributed database systems. Part II deals with the core topics in developing information systems which are based on audio and speech compression, multimedia communication techniques, and soft computing for analysis and interpretation of data. Part III focusses on a number of application areas-as remote sensing, telemedicine, e-commerce, cybermediary and rural development-besides the traditional engineering disciplines, highlighting their social impacts. The book is intended for undergraduate and postgraduate students of information technology, computer science as well as electronics and electrical communication engineering. It should also serve as an excellent reference for professionals in the IT field. Key Features: Discusses in detail the theoretical basis behind a web graph. Deals with security issues of computer networks and their implications in an easy-to-understand manner. Contains more than 30 projects (with useful hints) that students of various IT courses would find interesting to work on. Three chapters are exclusively devoted to different aspects of database management and data mining systems.
The book ‘Data Intensive Computing Applications for Big Data’ discusses the technical concepts of big data, data intensive computing through machine learning, soft computing and parallel computing paradigms. It brings together researchers to report their latest results or progress in the development of the above mentioned areas. Since there are few books on this specific subject, the editors aim to provide a common platform for researchers working in this area to exhibit their novel findings. The book is intended as a reference work for advanced undergraduates and graduate students, as well as multidisciplinary, interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary research workers and scientists on the subjects of big data and cloud/parallel and distributed computing, and explains didactically many of the core concepts of these approaches for practical applications. It is organized into 24 chapters providing a comprehensive overview of big data analysis using parallel computing and addresses the complete data science workflow in the cloud, as well as dealing with privacy issues and the challenges faced in a data-intensive cloud computing environment. The book explores both fundamental and high-level concepts, and will serve as a manual for those in the industry, while also helping beginners to understand the basic and advanced aspects of big data and cloud computing.
This book constitutes the proceedings of the International Conference on Information Computing and Applications, held in Tangshan, China, in October 2010.
