This book has a single purpose: to help everyone become computational thinkers. Computational thinking (CT) is thinking informed by the digital age, and a computational thinker is someone who can apply that thinking everywhere and anywhere. Through practical examples and easy-to-grasp terminology, this book is a guide to navigating the digital world and improving one’s efficiency, productivity, and success immediately. Given its pervasiveness, knowledge and experience of computation is a cornerstone of productivity, and improved thinking will lead to advances in every aspect of one’s life. In this way, CT can be thought of as the mutual reinforcement of thinking and knowledge of computation in the digital age. Comprising a rich collection of self-contained articles that can be read separately, and illustrated by pictures, images and article-end crossword puzzles, this book is an engaging and accessible route to ‘Becoming a Computational Thinker’ and achieving ‘Success in the Digital Age’. Computers brought us the digital revolution. People in the digital age have such wonderful things as laptops, smartphones, satellite navigation, drones, the Internet, the web, social media, streaming video, Artificial Intelligence (AI), and more. We are experiencing the fourth industrial revolution brought by significant applications of digital technologies and ever-increasing automation in all parts of our economy.

A Practical Guide on Security and Privacy in Cyber-Physical Systems offers an in-depth look at the recent security and privacy challenges of Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) in multiple application domains. It provides readers with a comprehensive view of system architecture for cybersecurity systems before actual implementation.The book first presents a systematic overview on several CPS applications covering standard architectures before zooming into each of the layers of the architectureal design to describe the underpinning technological, security, and privacy issues currently facing some CPS research groups. The guiding principles that should be followed while planning future innovations for such mission-critical systems are also covered.This book captures the latest advancements from many different fields and is a well-balanced combination of academic contributions and industrial applications in CPS. Written for students and professionals at all levels, this book presents the best practices for individuals who want to advance their research and development in this exciting area. The Internet has seen transformation several times since its inception — from the introduction of various forms of electronic communication to e-commerce, social media, and cyber-physical systems (CPSs); each has deeply impacted society. The most recent development incorporates CPSs where sensors and actuators enable the Internet to impact the physical world. Three major innovations driving technologies all rest on CPSs: smart power grids, smart wearable/implantable/medical devices, and connected/autonomous vehicles.

In the age of global climate change, society will require cities that are environmentally self-sufficient, able to withstand various environmental problems and recover quickly. It is interesting to note that many "smart" solutions for cities are leading to an unsustainable future, including further electrification, an increased dependence on the Internet, Internet of Things, Big Data, and Artificial Intelligence, and basically any technology that leads us to consume more electricity. This book examines critical topics in Smart Cities such as true sustainability and the resilience required for all cities. It explores sustainability issues in agriculture and the role of agri-technology for a sustainable future, including a city’s ability to locally produce food for its residents.

The notion of quality and usability has gained a prominent importance in information and communication technology as well as in Computer Science. In all phases of planning, design, implementation, and optimization of technical systems and services, quality aspects must be taken into account so that their users can experience optimal quality and usability. In this book, the quality and usability of communication technology systems will be fundamentally addressed. Therefore, the necessary terms are first introduced, and the fundamentals of psychophysics (i.e., the relationship between physical quantities and human perceptions) and psychometrics (i.e., the measurement of perceptual quantities) are established. Based on this, the cycle of human-oriented system development, known as usability engineering, is presented. The measurement and prediction of quality and usability are then illustrated with the help of practical examples of communication engineering systems. In particular, systems for information transmission (telephony, Internet-based voice, and video transmission), speech dialog systems, and multimodal dialog systems are discussed. Finally, models for estimating quality and usability in the development phase of such systems are presented. Thus, the topic of quality engineering, i.e., system development that consistently aims at optimal quality, comes full circle.
