Published in 2004, Friedrich List is a valuable contribution to the field of History. This study is based upon the material included in Friedrich List's collected works (cited as Werke) and upon the documents preserved in the List archives in Reutlingen. The most important biographies of List are those by Ludwig Hausser, Friedrich Lenz, Carl August Meissinger, Carl Brinkmann, and Hans Gehrig. List's early career has been examined by Karl Goeser and Paul Gehring, his services to the Union of Merchants by Hans-Peter Olshausen, his work as a journalist by Carl Schneider, and his activities in the United States by William Notz.

R.B. Woodward, Professor of Science at Harvard University, who died in July 1979, was generally considered to be the greatest organic chemist of modern times. He was one of the founders of Tetrahedron and Tetrahedron Letters and this volume, containing papers from over 50 of the world's leading organic chemists, is dedicated to his memory. The contents cover all areas of modern organic chemistry and therefore present a synopsis of current research in this area of science.

This book constitutes the proceedings of the 13th Asia-Pacific Conference APWeb 2011 held in conjunction with the APWeb 2011 Workshops XMLDM and USD, in Beijing, China, in April 2011. The 26 full papers presented together with 10 short papers, 3 keynote talks, and 4 demo papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 104 submissions. The submissions range over a variety of topics such as classification and clustering; spatial and temporal databases; personalization and recommendation; data analysis and application; Web mining; Web search and information retrieval; complex and social networks; and secure and semantic Web.

"This work strikes a balance between the pure functional aspects of F# and the object-oriented and imperative features that make it so useful in practice, enable .NET integration, and make large-scale data processing possible." —Thore Graepel, PhD, Researcher, Microsoft Research Ltd. Over the next five years, F# is expected to become one of the world's most popular functional programming languages for scientists of all disciplines working on the Windows platform. F# is free and, unlike MATLAB® and other software with numerical/scientific origins, is a full-fledged programming language. Developed in consultation with Don Syme of Microsoft Research Ltd.—who wrote the language—F# for Scientists explains and demonstrates the powerful features of this important new programming language. The book assumes no prior experience and guides the reader from the basics of computer programming to the implementation of state-of-the-art algorithms. F# for Scientists begins with coverage of introductory material in the areas of functional programming, .NET, and scientific computing, and goes on to explore: Program structure Optimization Data structures Libraries Numerical analysis Databases Input and output Interoperability Visualization Screenshots of development using Visual Studio are used to illustrate compilation, debugging, and interactive use, while complete examples of a few whole programs are included to give readers a complete view of F#'s capabilities. Written in a clear and concise style, F# for Scientists is well suited for researchers, scientists, and developers who want to program under the Windows platform. It also serves as an ideal supplemental text for advanced undergraduate and graduate students with a background in science or engineering.

"Kind of crude, but it works, boy, it works!" AZan NeweZZ to Herb Simon, Christmas 1955 In 1954 a computer program produced what appears to be the first computer generated mathematical proof: Written by M. Davis at the Institute of Advanced Studies, USA, it proved a number theoretic theorem in Presburger Arithmetic. Christmas 1955 heralded a computer program which generated the first proofs of some propositions of Principia Mathematica, developed by A. Newell, J. Shaw, and H. Simon at RAND Corporation, USA. In Sweden, H. Prawitz, D. Prawitz, and N. Voghera produced the first general program for the full first order predicate calculus to prove mathematical theorems; their computer proofs were obtained around 1957 and 1958, about the same time that H. Gelernter finished a computer program to prove simple high school geometry theorems. Since the field of computational logic (or automated theorem proving) is emerging from the ivory tower of academic research into real world applications, asserting also a definite place in many university curricula, we feel the time has corne to examine and evaluate its history. The article by Martin Davis in the first of this series of volumes traces the most influential ideas back to the 'prehistory' of early logical thought showing how these ideas influenced the underlying concepts of most early automatic theorem proving programs.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 8th International Information Security Conference, ISC 2005, held in Singapore in September 2005. The 33 revised full papers presented together with 5 student papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 271 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on network security, trust and privacy, key management and protocols, public key encryption and signature, signcryption, crypto algorithm and analysis, cryptography, applications, software security, authorization, and access control.

This book examines the cyber risks associated with Internet of Things (IoT) and highlights the cyber security capabilities that IoT platforms must have in order to address those cyber risks effectively. The chapters fuse together deep cyber security expertise with artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, and advanced analytics tools, which allows readers to evaluate, emulate, outpace, and eliminate threats in real time. The book’s chapters are written by experts of IoT and machine learning to help examine the computer-based crimes of the next decade. They highlight on automated processes for analyzing cyber frauds in the current systems and predict what is on the horizon. This book is applicable for researchers and professionals in cyber security, AI, and IoT.
