This is the first publication on the work of Konstantin Grcic (b. 1965), one of the most interesting and prolific designers of today. The book offers an insight into his design process showing products at different stages of development, together with a remarkable portfolio of finished pieces, through sketches, drawings and specially commissioned photographs. Edited by photographer and visual researcher Florian Böhm and with texts by Konstantin Grcic, Pierre Doze and Francesca Picchi.

This book provides comprehensive coverage of the latest advances and trends in information technology, science, and engineering. Specifically, it addresses a number of broad themes, including multimodal informatics, data mining, agent-based and multi-agent systems for health and education informatics, which inspire the development of intelligent information technologies. The contributions cover a wide range of topics such as AI applications and innovations in health and education informatics; data and knowledge management; multimodal application management; and web/social media mining for multimodal informatics. Outlining promising future research directions, the book is a valuable resource for students, researchers, and professionals and a useful reference guide for newcomers to the field. This book is a compilation of the papers presented in the 4th International Conference on Multi-modal Information Analytics, held online, on April 23, 2022.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference proceedings of the 19th International Conference on Financial Cryptography and Data Security, FC 2014, held in San Juan, Puerto Rico, in January 2015. The 23 revised full papers and 10 short papers were carefully selected and reviewed from 102 full papers submissions. The papers are grouped in the following topical sections: sidechannels; cryptography in the cloud; payment and fraud detection; authentication and access control; cryptographic primitives; mobile security; privacy and incentives; applications and attacks; authenticated data structures.

The eight-volume set LNCS 14438 until 14445 constitutes the proceedings of the 29th International Conference on the Theory and Application of Cryptology and Information Security, ASIACRYPT 2023, held in Guangzhou, China, during December 4-8, 2023. The total of 106 full papers presented in these proceedings was carefully reviewed and selected from 375 submissions. The papers were organized in topical sections as follows: Part I: Secure Multi-party computation; threshold cryptography; . Part II: proof systems - succinctness and foundations; anonymity; Part III: quantum cryptanalysis; symmetric-key cryptanalysis; Part IV: cryptanalysis of post-quantum and public-key systems; side-channels; quantum random oracle model; Part V: functional encryption, commitments and proofs; secure messaging and broadcast; Part VI: homomorphic encryption; encryption with special functionalities; security proofs and security models; Part VII: post-quantum cryptography; Part VIII: quantum cryptography; key exchange; symmetric-key design.

This five-volume set, LNCS 14004 - 14008 constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 42nd Annual International Conference on Theory and Applications of Cryptographic Techniques, Eurocrypt 2023, which was held in Lyon, France, in April 2023. The total of 109 full papers presented were carefully selected from 415 submissions. They are organized in topical sections as follows: Theoretical Foundations; Public Key Primitives with Advanced Functionalities; Classic Public Key Cryptography; Secure and Efficient Implementation, Cryptographic Engineering, and Real-World Cryptography; Symmetric Cryptology; and finally Multi-Party Computation and Zero-Knowledge.
