Web 3.0: Concept, Content and Context
by Shenghui ChengAs technology continues to advance, the Internet is evolving into what is often referred to as Web 3.0. This book aims to achieve three main objectives, first, it introduces Web 3.0 systematically and comprehensively, providing readers with a foundational understanding of its concepts and characteristics. Second, it analyzes the inevitability and development necessity of Web 3.0, as well as its potential future possibilities and transformative effects. Finally, it explores Web 3.0 through comparative analysis, discussing its relationship with the metaverse as well as how individuals and organizations can seize the opportunities presented by Web 3.0. Various topics related to Web 3.0, including its infrastructure, development facilities, scenario applications, technology stacks, and industry applications such as decentralized applications (DApps) and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) platforms are presented in the book. It delves into the ecosystem of Web 3.0, discussing decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs), open finance (DeFi), cryptocurrencies, token economy, digital identity, creator economy, attention economy, and cyber-physical and human systems. Additionally, it addresses governance issues, security challenges, development challenges, and legal and regulatory aspects associated with Web 3.0. Overall, Web 3.0: Concept, Content and Context provides readers with a comprehensive understanding of Web 3.0, its potential implications, and the opportunities for new industry models and business opportunities in the evolving Internet era.
Web Information Retrieval
by Emanuele Della Valle Marco Brambilla Piero Fraternali Alessandro Bozzon Stefano Ceri Silvia QuarteroniWith the proliferation of huge amounts of (heterogeneous) data on the Web, the importance of information retrieval (IR) has grown considerably over the last few years. Big players in the computer industry, such as Google, Microsoft and Yahoo!, are the primary contributors of technology for fast access to Web-based information; and searching capabilities are now integrated into most information systems, ranging from business management software and customer relationship systems to social networks and mobile phone applications. Ceri and his co-authors aim at taking their readers from the foundations of modern information retrieval to the most advanced challenges of Web IR. To this end, their book is divided into three parts. The first part addresses the principles of IR and provides a systematic and compact description of basic information retrieval techniques (including binary, vector space and probabilistic models as well as natural language search processing) before focusing on its application to the Web. Part two addresses the foundational aspects of Web IR by discussing the general architecture of search engines (with a focus on the crawling and indexing processes), describing link analysis methods (specifically Page Rank and HITS), addressing recommendation and diversification, and finally presenting advertising in search (the main source of revenues for search engines). The third and final part describes advanced aspects of Web search, each chapter providing a self-contained, up-to-date survey on current Web research directions. Topics in this part include meta-search and multi-domain search, semantic search, search in the context of multimedia data, and crowd search. The book is ideally suited to courses on information retrieval, as it covers all Web-independent foundational aspects. Its presentation is self-contained and does not require prior background knowledge. It can also be used in the context of classic courses on data management, allowing the instructor to cover both structured and unstructured data in various formats. Its classroom use is facilitated by a set of slides, which can be downloaded from www.search-computing.org.

Weight-of-Evidence for Forensic DNA Profiles (Statistics in Practice #34)
by David J. Balding Christopher D. SteeleDNA evidence is widely used in the modern justice system. Statistical methodology plays a key role in ensuring that this evidence is collected, interpreted, analysed and presented correctly. This book is a guide to assessing DNA evidence and presenting that evidence in a courtroom setting. It offers practical guidance to forensic scientists with little dependence on mathematical ability, and provides the scientist with the understanding they require to apply the methods in their work. Since the publication of the first edition of this book in 2005 there have been many incremental changes, and one dramatic change which is the emergence of low template DNA (LTDNA) profiles. This second edition is edited and expanded to cover the basics of LTDNA technology. The author's own open-source R code likeLTD is described and used for worked examples in the book. Commercial and free software are also covered.
Weighted Polynomial Approximation and Numerical Methods for Integral Equations (Pathways in Mathematics)
by Giuseppe Mastroianni Peter Junghanns Incoronata NotarangeloThe book presents a combination of two topics: one coming from the theory of approximation of functions and integrals by interpolation and quadrature, respectively, and the other from the numerical analysis of operator equations, in particular, of integral and related equations.The text focusses on interpolation and quadrature processes for functions defined on bounded and unbounded intervals and having certain singularities at the endpoints of the interval, as well as on numerical methods for Fredholm integral equations of first and second kind with smooth and weakly singular kernel functions, linear and nonlinear Cauchy singular integral equations, and hypersingular integral equations.The book includes both classic and very recent results and will appeal to graduate students and researchers who want to learn about the approximation of functions and the numerical solution of operator equations, in particular integral equations.
Weighted and Fuzzy Graph Theory (Studies in Fuzziness and Soft Computing #429)
by John N. Mordeson Sunil Mathew M. BinuOne of the most preeminent ways of applying mathematics in real-world scenario modeling involves graph theory. A graph can be undirected or directed depending on whether the pairwise relationships among objects are symmetric or not. Nevertheless, in many real-world situations, representing a set of complex relational objects as directed or undirected is not su¢ cient. Weighted graphs o§er a framework that helps to over come certain conceptual limitations. We show using the concept of an isomorphism that weighted graphs have a natural connection to fuzzy graphs. As we show in the book, this allows results to be carried back and forth between weighted graphs and fuzzy graphs. This idea is in keeping with the important paper by Klement and Mesiar that shows that many families of fuzzy sets are lattice isomorphic to each other. We also outline the important work of Head and Weinberger that show how results from ordinary mathematics can be carried over to fuzzy mathematics. We focus on the concepts connectivity, degree sequences and saturation, and intervals and gates in weighted graphs.
Weighting Evidence in Language and Literature
by Barron BrainerdIn recent years, there has been a tremendous development in the area of quantitative and statistical analysis of linguistic and literary data, generated, no doubt, by extensive advances in computer technology and their relatively easy availability to scholars. However, except for a few rather specialized examples, there has been no truly introductory text in statistics and quantitative analysis devoted to the needs of language scholars. This work was written especially to fill the gap. It introduces a mathematically naïve reader to those statistical tools which are applicable in modern quantitative text and language analysis, and does this in terms of simple examples dealing exclusively with language and literature. Exercises are included throughout.
