Combinatorial Pattern Matching: 26th Annual Symposium, CPM 2015, Ischia Island, Italy, June 29 -- July 1, 2015, Proceedings (Lecture Notes in Computer Science #9133)
by Ferdinando Cicalese Ely Porat Ugo VaccaroThis book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 26th Annual Symposium on Combinatorial Pattern Matching, CPM 2015, held on Ischia Island, Italy, in June/July 2015. The 34 revised full papers presented together with 3 invited talks were carefully reviewed and selected from 83 submissions. The papers address issues of searching and matching strings and more complicated patterns such as trees; regular expressions; graphs; point sets; and arrays. The goal is to derive combinatorial properties of such structures and to exploit these properties in order to achieve superior performance for the corresponding computational problems. The meeting also deals with problems in computational biology; data compression and data mining; coding; information retrieval; natural language processing; and pattern recognition.

Cómo estar en la primera página de Google: Tips SEO para Marketing Digital
by Patricia García González Jason Matthews¿Por qué Google? ¿Por qué centrarnos en él y no simplemente en los motores de búsqueda en general? Ésta es una óptima pregunta ya que existen Bing, Baidu, Ask, Entireweb y muchos más que no se deberían ignorar. Si investigas la participación de mercado global, descubrirás distintas estadísticas dependiendo de la región, mes y validez de la fuente de información pero una cosa se mantiene: Google es el indiscutible campeón de los motores de búsqueda mundiales, procesando más de un billón de peticiones de búsqueda diariamente. Y parece que lo seguirá siendo durante un tiempo. En un nivel global, aproximadamente entre el 70% y el 80% de todas las búsquedas se realizan con Google (dependiendo en quién crees) mientras los demás juntos suman el restante 20% o 30% (Septiembre de 2014). Las estadísticas también varían dramáticamente dependiendo de la región. En algunos estados europeos Google abarca más del 90% del mercado, un número alarmante que podría contribuir a la creación de leyes por competencia desleal y prevenir el dominio total de una industria. Además, sigue dominando la participación en el mercado de la telefonía móvil.

Complex Event Processing: Komplexe Analyse von massiven Datenströmen mit CEP (essentials)
by Ralf Bruns Jürgen DunkelRalf Bruns und Jürgen Dunkel bieten eine kompakte Einführung in die Grundprinzipien von Complex Event Processing (CEP), das eine extrem leistungsfähige Softwaretechnologie zur systematischen Analyse von massiven Datenströmen in Echtzeit darstellt. Die Autoren stellen die wesentlichen Sprachkonzepte der Ereignisverarbeitung Schritt für Schritt vor. Eine Fallstudie aus dem M2M-Bereich verdeutlicht die praktische Anwendung von CEP. Moderne Unternehmen stehen vor der Herausforderung mit immer größeren Datenmengen umgehen zu müssen. Neben immensen statischen Datenbeständen ist es entscheidend, auch kontinuierlich eintreffende Datenströme effizient zu nutzen, um geschäftliche Entscheidungen situationsabhängig treffen zu können. Mit CEP ist es möglich, hochfrequente Datenströme intelligent zu analysieren und daraus zeitnah operative Unternehmensentscheidungen abzuleiten. CEP steht für eine neue Qualität von Unternehmensanwendungen - agil und effizient.

Compressed Sensing for Distributed Systems (SpringerBriefs in Electrical and Computer Engineering)
by Giulio Coluccia Chiara Ravazzi Enrico MagliThis book presents a survey of the state-of-the art in the exciting and timely topic of compressed sensing for distributed systems. It has to be noted that, while compressed sensing has been studied for some time now, its distributed applications are relatively new. Remarkably, such applications are ideally suited to exploit all the benefits that compressed sensing can provide. The objective of this book is to provide the reader with a comprehensive survey of this topic, from the basic concepts to different classes of centralized and distributed reconstruction algorithms, as well as a comparison of these techniques. This book collects different contributions on these aspects. It presents the underlying theory in a complete and unified way for the first time, presenting various signal models and their use cases. It contains a theoretical part collecting latest results in rate-distortion analysis of distributed compressed sensing, as well as practical implementations of algorithms obtaining performance close to the theoretical bounds. It presents and discusses various distributed reconstruction algorithms, summarizing the theoretical reconstruction guarantees and providing a comparative analysis of their performance and complexity. In summary, this book will allow the reader to get started in the field of distributed compressed sensing from theory to practice. We believe that this book can find a broad audience among researchers, scientists, or engineers with very diverse backgrounds, having interests in mathematical optimization, network systems, graph theoretical methods, linear systems, stochastic systems, and randomized algorithms. To help the reader become familiar with the theory and algorithms presented, accompanying software is made available on the authors' web site, implementing several of the algorithms described in the book. The only background required of the reader is a good knowledge of advanced calculus and linear algebra.

Computational and Statistical Epigenomics (Translational Bioinformatics #7)
by Andrew E. TeschendorffThis book introduces the reader to modern computational and statistical tools for translational epigenomics research. Over the last decade, epigenomics has emerged as a key area of molecular biology, epidemiology and genome medicine. Epigenomics not only offers us a deeper understanding of fundamental cellular biology, but also provides us with the basis for an improved understanding and management of complex diseases. From novel biomarkers for risk prediction, early detection, diagnosis and prognosis of common diseases, to novel therapeutic strategies, epigenomics is set to play a key role in the personalized medicine of the future. In this book we introduce the reader to some of the most important computational and statistical methods for analyzing epigenomic data, with a special focus on DNA methylation. Topics include normalization, correction for cellular heterogeneity, batch effects, clustering, supervised analysis and integrative methods for systems epigenomics. This book will be of interest to students and researchers in bioinformatics, biostatistics, biologists and clinicians alike. Dr. Andrew E. Teschendorff is Head of the Computational Systems Genomics Lab at the CAS-MPG Partner Institute for Computational Biology, Shanghai, China, as well as an Honorary Research Fellow at the UCL Cancer Institute, University College London, UK.
