In recent years, IT application scenarios have evolved in very innovative ways. Highly distributed networks have now become a common platform for large-scale distributed programming, high bandwidth communications are inexpensive and widespread, and most of our work tools are equipped with processors enabling us to perform a multitude of tasks. In addition, mobile computing (referring specifically to wireless devices and, more broadly, to dynamically configured systems) has made it possible to exploit interaction in novel ways. To harness the flexibility and power of these rapidly evolving, interactive systems, there is need of radically new foundational ideas and principles; there is need to develop the theoretical foundations required to design these systems and to cope with the many complex issues involved in their construction; and there is need to develop effective principles for building and analyzing such systems. Reflecting the diverse and wide spectrum of topics and interests within the theoretical computer science community, Exploring New Frontiers of Theoretical Informatics, is presented in two distinct but interrelated tracks: -Algorithms, Complexity and Models of Computation, -Logic, Semantics, Specification and Verification. Exploring New Frontiers of Theoretical Informatics contains 46 original and significant contributions addressing these foundational questions, as well as 4 papers by outstanding invited speakers. These papers were presented at the 3rd IFIP International Conference on Theoretical Computer Science (TCS 2004), which was held in conjunction with the 18th World Computer Congress in Toulouse, France in August 2004 and sponsored by the International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP).
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the International Conference IFIP TCS 2000 held in Sendai, Japan in August 2000. The 32 revised full papers presented together with nine invited contributions were carefully reviewed and selected from a total of 70 submissions. The papers are organized in two tracks on algorithms, complexity, and models of computation and on logics, semantics, specification, and verification. The book is devoted to exploring new frontiers of theoretical informatics and addresses all current topics in theoretical computer science.
Information security primarily serves these six distinct purposes—authentication, authorization, prevention of data theft, sensitive data safety / privacy, data protection / integrity, non-repudiation. The entire gamut of infosec rests upon cryptography. The author begins as a protagonist to explain that modern cryptography is more suited for machines rather than humans. This is explained through a brief history of ciphers and their evolution into cryptography and its various forms. The premise is further reinforced by a critical assessment of algorithm-based modern cryptography in the age of emerging technologies like artificial intelligence and blockchain. With simple and lucid examples, the author demonstrates that the hypothetical "man versus machine" scenario is not by chance, but by design. The book doesn’t end here like most others that wind up with a sermon on ethics and eventual merging of humans with technology (i.e., singularity). A very much practicable solution has been presented with a real-world use-case scenario, wherein infosec is designed around the needs, biases, flaws and skills of humans. This innovative approach, as trivial as it may seem to some, has the power to bring about a paradigm shift in the overall strategy of information technology that can change our world for the better.
The world of technology is constantly evolving, with new and innovative developments emerging at an unprecedented pace. These latest technologies are transforming the way we live, work, and interact with the world around us. They hold immense potential to address global challenges, enhance our lives, and shape the future of our society. In this preface, we will explore a few of the latest and most transformative technologies, highlighting their key features, applications, and potential impacts. We will delve into the realms of artificial intelligence, robotics, nanotechnology, biotechnology, and quantum computing, uncovering the exciting possibilities they present for the future. Artificial Intelligence Artificial intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing industries and transforming human capabilities, enabling machines to simulate human intelligence, learn, adapt, and make decisions. AI's impact is pervasive, from self-driving cars and personalized recommendations to medical diagnosis and financial forecasting. Robotics Robots are becoming increasingly sophisticated, capable of performing a wide range of tasks, from manufacturing and assembly to healthcare and logistics. Robotics is automating repetitive and hazardous tasks, enhancing productivity, and enabling humans to focus on more creative and strategic endeavors. Nanotechnology Nanotechnology is manipulating matter at the atomic and molecular scale, creating materials with unique properties that differ significantly from their bulk counterparts. Nanoparticles have the potential to revolutionize various fields, including medicine, electronics, energy, and environmental protection. Biotechnology Biotechnology is harnessing the power of living organisms and biological processes to develop innovative solutions for healthcare, agriculture, and environmental challenges. Genetic engineering, gene therapy, and regenerative medicine are just a few examples of biotechnology's transformative potential. Quantum Computing Quantum computing is a revolutionary technology that utilizes the principles of quantum mechanics to perform computations. Quantum computers have the potential to solve complex problems that are intractable for classical computers, leading to breakthroughs in fields such as drug discovery, materials science, and artificial intelligence. As we embrace these latest technologies, it is crucial to address the ethical considerations and societal impacts that accompany their rapid development. We must ensure that these technologies are used responsibly, ethically, and for the benefit of humanity as a whole. The future holds immense promise for the advancement of technology, and it is our responsibility to shape this future with foresight, prudence, and a commitment to the betterment of society.
Information Systems (IS) are a nearly omnipresent aspect of the modern world, playing crucial roles in the fields of science and engineering, business and law, art and culture, politics and government, and many others.
