This book constitutes the proceedings of the XV Multidisciplinary International Congress on Science and Technology (CIT 2020), held in Quito, Ecuador, on 26–30 October 2020, proudly organized by Universidad de las Fuerzas Armadas ESPE in collaboration with GDEON. CIT is an international event with a multidisciplinary approach that promotes the dissemination of advances in Science and Technology research through the presentation of keynote conferences. In CIT, theoretical, technical, or application works that are research products are presented to discuss and debate ideas, experiences, and challenges. Presenting high-quality, peer-reviewed papers, the book discusses the following topics: Artificial Intelligence Computational Modeling Data Communications Defense Engineering Innovation, Technology, and Society Managing Technology & Sustained Innovation, and Business Development Modern Vehicle Technology Security and Cryptography Software Engineering

" ... the eleventh annual report on the state of online learning in U.S. higher education. The survey is designed, administered and analyzed by the Babson Survey Research Group, with data collection conducted in partnership with the College Board. Using responses from more than 2,800 colleges and universities, this study is aimed at answering fundamental questions about the nature and extent of online education."--Page 3.

The bestselling book, now with a new preface by the authors At once a bold defense and reimagining of capitalism and a blueprint for a new system for doing business, Conscious Capitalism is for anyone hoping to build a more cooperative, humane, and positive future. Whole Foods Market cofounder John Mackey and professor and Conscious Capitalism, Inc. cofounder Raj Sisodia argue that both business and capitalism are inherently good, and they use some of today’s best-known and most successful companies to illustrate their point. From Southwest Airlines, UPS, and Tata to Costco, Panera, Google, the Container Store, and Amazon, today’s organizations are creating value for all stakeholders—including customers, employees, suppliers, investors, society, and the environment. Read this book and you’ll better understand how four specific tenets—higher purpose, stakeholder integration, conscious leadership, and conscious culture and management—can help build strong businesses, move capitalism closer to its highest potential, and foster a more positive environment for all of us.

Knowledge of number theory and abstract algebra are pre-requisitesfor any engineer designing a secure internet-based system. However, most of the books currently available on the subject areaimed at practitioners who just want to know how the various toolsavailable on the market work and what level of security theyimpart. These books traditionally deal with the science andmathematics only in so far as they are necessary to understand howthe tools work. Internet Security differs by its assertion that cryptography is thesingle most important technology for securing the Internet. Toquote one reviewer "if every one of your communication partnerswere using a secure system based on encryption, viruses, worms andhackers would have a very hard time". This scenario does notreflect the reality of the Internet world as it currently stands.However, with security issues becoming more and more importantinternationally, engineers of the future will be required to designtougher, safer systems. Internet Security: * Offers an in-depth introduction to the relevant cryptographicprinciples, algorithms protocols - the nuts and bolts of creating asecure network * Links cryptographic principles to the technologies in use on theInternet, eg. PGP, S/MIME, IPsec, SSL TLS, Firewalls and SET(protecting credit card transactions) * Provides state-of-the-art analysis of the latest IETF standardsplus summaries and explanations of RFC documents * Authored by a recognised expert in security Internet Security is the definitive text for graduate students onsecurity and cryptography courses, and researchers in security andcryptography areas. It will prove to be invaluable to professionalsengaged in the long-term development of secure systems.

This book features both cutting-edge contributions on managing knowledge in transformational contexts and a selection of real-world case studies. It analyzes how the disruptive power of digitization is becoming a major challenge for knowledge-based value creation worldwide, and subsequently examines the changes in how we manage information and knowledge, communicate, collaborate, learn and decide within and across organizations. The book highlights the opportunities provided by disruptive renewal, while also stressing the need for knowledge workers and organizations to transform governance, leadership and work organization. Emerging new business models and digitally enabled co-creation are presented as drivers that can help establish new ways of managing knowledge. In turn, a number of carefully selected and interpreted case studies provide a link to practice in organizations.
