Challenges in Cybersecurity and Privacy - the European Research Landscape
by Jorge Bernal Bernabe Antonio SkarmetaCybersecurity and Privacy issues are becoming an important barrier for a trusted and dependable global digital society development. Cyber-criminals are continuously shifting their cyber-attacks specially against cyber-physical systems and IoT, since they present additional vulnerabilities due to their constrained capabilities, their unattended nature and the usage of potential untrustworthiness components. Likewise, identity-theft, fraud, personal data leakages, and other related cyber-crimes are continuously evolving, causing important damages and privacy problems for European citizens in both virtual and physical scenarios.In this context, new holistic approaches, methodologies, techniques and tools are needed to cope with those issues, and mitigate cyberattacks, by employing novel cyber-situational awareness frameworks, risk analysis and modeling, threat intelligent systems, cyber-threat information sharing methods, advanced big-data analysis techniques as well as exploiting the benefits from latest technologies such as SDN/NFV and Cloud systems. In addition, novel privacy-preserving techniques, and crypto-privacy mechanisms, identity and eID management systems, trust services, and recommendations are needed to protect citizens’ privacy while keeping usability levels.The European Commission is addressing the challenge through different means, including the Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation program, thereby financing innovative projects that can cope with the increasing cyberthreat landscape. This book introduces several cybersecurity and privacy research challenges and how they are being addressed in the scope of 15 European research projects.Each chapter is dedicated to a different funded European Research project, which aims to cope with digital security and privacy aspects, risks, threats and cybersecurity issues from a different perspective. Each chapter includes the project’s overviews and objectives, the particular challenges they are covering, research achievements on security and privacy, as well as the techniques, outcomes, and evaluations accomplished in the scope of the EU project.The book is the result of a collaborative effort among relative ongoing European Research projects in the field of privacy and security as well as related cybersecurity fields, and it is intended to explain how these projects meet the main cybersecurity and privacy challenges faced in Europe. Namely, the EU projects analyzed in the book are: ANASTACIA, SAINT, YAKSHA, FORTIKA, CYBECO, SISSDEN, CIPSEC, CS-AWARE. RED-Alert, Truessec.eu. ARIES, LIGHTest, CREDENTIAL, FutureTrust, LEPS. Challenges in Cybersecurity and Privacy - the European Research Landscape is ideal for personnel in computer/communication industries as well as academic staff and master/research students in computer science and communications networks interested in learning about cyber-security and privacy aspects.

Challenging Formalization in Education and Beyond: Problems and Solutions for Traditional and Online Learning
by Peter SerdyukovChallenging Formalization in Education and Beyond addresses the effects of today’s attempts to organize knowledge, processes, and performance in education, particularly in its ever-growing digital environments. As on-site, blended, and fully online learning become deeply interdependent, secondary and higher education managers and instructors who seek to integrate, apply, and teach within these formats using standardized rules, assessments, algorithms, and accountability structures may be doing unintended harm to their students. Focusing on students’ performance, health, cognition, behavior, and learning outcomes, this book analyses how current trends, methods, and policies in formalization can be challenged and corrected to ensure high-quality education. Scholars, educators, administrators, and designers of traditional, asynchronous, precision, automated, and micro-learning formats will come away with new insights and pragmatic solutions for engaging students in more active, participatory, and creative activities.

Chance, Calculation and Life
by Thierry Gaudin Marie-Christine Maurel Jean-Charles PomerolChance, Calculation and Life brings together 16 original papers from the colloquium of the same name, organized by the International Cultural Center of Cerisy in 2019. From mathematics to the humanities and biology, there are many concepts and questions related to chance. What are the different types of chance? Does chance correspond to a lack of knowledge about the causes of events, or is there a truly intrinsic and irreducible chance? Does chance preside over our decisions? Does it govern evolution? Is it at the origin of life? What part do chance and necessity play in biology? This book answers these fundamental questions by bringing together the clear and richly documented contributions of mathematicians, physicists, biologists and philosophers who make this book an incomparable tool for work and reflection.
Chance in Physics, Computer Science and Philosophy: Chance as the Foundation of the World (Die blaue Stunde der Informatik)
by Walter HehlChance is uncanny to us. We thought it didn't exist, that God or a reasonable explanation was behind everything. But we know today: It exists. We know that much of what surrounds us and which we do not see through, nevertheless runs causally. Unlike what was thought in the days of the Enlightenment, chance is the rule around us rather than lawful order. The clouds are stochastic fractals, the waves on the sea are pure random machinery. The philosopher Charles Peirce recognized the fundamental importance of chance in precisely this sense, even before quantum and chaos theory, and gave the doctrine its name: Tychism. Without chance there would be nothing new, no life, no creativity, no history. This book looks at chance from the perspective of physics, computer science, and philosophy. It spans from antiquity to quantum physics and shows that chance is firmly built into the world and that it would not exist without chance. This book is a translation of the original German 1st edition Der Zufall in Physik, Informatik und Philosophie by Walter Hehl, published by Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden GmbH, part of Springer Nature in 2021. The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence (machine translation by the service DeepL.com). A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content, so that the book will read stylistically differently from a conventional translation. Springer Nature works continuously to further the development of tools for the production of books and on the related technologies to support the authors.
Chancen einer nachhaltigen IT: Wege zu einer ressourceneffizienten Softwareentwicklung
by Daniel Sonnet Gerhard Wanner Konrad PfeilstickerDas Buch adressiert die zwei Themen Erstellung ressourceneffizienter Software sowie den ressourceneffizienten Betrieb von Software. Für die Mehrheit aller Unternehmen in Deutschland sind bei der Entwicklung von Software die Dimensionen „in budget“, „in time“ und „in function“ wichtig. Die Dimension „in climate“ gewinnt vor dem Hintergrund der Klima- und der Energiekrise stark an Bedeutung. Dabei muss die Dimension „in climate“ nicht im Kontrast zu den anderen Dimensionen stehen. Bei näherer Betrachtung kann sie sogar die anderen Dimensionen ergänzen. In Bezug auf den Betrieb von IT-Systemen liegt aktuell der Fokus bei den deutschen Firmen auf Performance und Verfügbarkeit. Einbußen in diesen beiden Bereichen wird oftmals mit einem Mehr an Infrastruktur begegnet, welches höheren Ressourcenverbrauch bedeutet und damit ggf. höhere CO2-Emissionen impliziert. Dabei müssen Performance und Verfügbarkeit nicht im Widerspruch zu moderaten CO2-Emissionen stehen. Dieses Buch stellt zunächst die Ergebnisse einer Umfrage unter Entscheiderinnen und Entscheidern zum Thema Green-IT dar, mit Fragen zu einer nachhaltigen IT in Bezug auf die Entwicklung und den Betrieb von Software. Aufbauend auf der Umfrage werden konkrete Maßnahmen zur Reduktion von CO2 beim Entwurf und beim Bau von Software dargestellt sowie Möglichkeiten eines energieeffizienten Betriebs im eigenen Rechenzentrum und in der Cloud aufgezeigt. Neben einem ausführlichen Theorieteil bietet das Buch mehrere Best-Practice-Beispiele und eine illustrative Fallstudie.
