Fog and Edge Computing
</P> <b>A comprehensive guide to Fog and Edge applications, architectures, and technologies</b> <p>Recent years have seen the explosive growth of the Internet of Things (IoT): the internet- connected network of devices that includes everything from personal electronics and home appliances to automobiles and industrial machinery. Responding to the ever-increasing bandwidth demands and privacy concerns of the IoT, Fog and Edge computing concepts have developed to collect, analyze, and process data closer to devices and more efficiently than traditional cloud architecture. <p><i>Fog and Edge Computing: Principles and Paradigms</i>provides a comprehensive overview of the state-of-the-art applications and architectures driving this dynamic field of computing while highlighting potential research directions and emerging technologies. <p>Exploring topics such as developing scalable architectures, moving from closed systems to open systems, and ethical issues rising from data sensing, this timely book addresses both the challenges and opportunities that Fog and Edge computing presents. Contributions from leading IoT experts discuss federating Edge resources, middleware design issues, data management and predictive analysis, smart transportation and surveillance applications, and more. A coordinated and integrated presentation of topics helps readers gain thorough knowledge of the foundations, applications, and issues that are central to Fog and Edge computing. This valuable resource: <ul> <li>Discusses IoT and new computing paradigms in the domain such as Fog, Edge and Mist</li> <li>Provides insights on transitioning from current Cloud-centric and 4G/5G wireless environments to Fog computing</li> <li>Examines methods to optimize virtualized, pooled, and shared resources</li> <li>Identifies potential technical challenges and offers suggestions for possible solutions</li> <li>Discusses major components of Fog and Edge computing architectures such as middleware, interaction protocols, and autonomic management</li> <li>Includes access to a website portal for advanced online resources</li> </ul> <p><i>Fog and Edge Computing: Principles and Paradigms</i>is an essential source of up-to-date information for systems architects, developers, researchers, and advanced undergraduate and graduate students in fields of computer science and engineering.

Connected Code
Coding, once considered an arcane craft practiced by solitary techies, is now recognized by educators and theorists as a crucial skill, even a new literacy, for all children. Programming is often promoted in K-12 schools as a way to encourage \"computational thinking\" -- which has now become the umbrella term for understanding what computer science has to contribute to reasoning and communicating in an ever-increasingly digital world.InConnected Code,Yasmin Kafai and Quinn Burke argue that although computational thinking represents an excellent starting point, the broader conception of \"computational participation\" better captures the twenty-first-century reality. Computational participation moves beyond the individual to focus on wider social networks and a DIY culture of digital \"making.\" Kafai and Burke describe contemporary examples of computational participation: students who code not for the sake of coding but to create games, stories, and animations to share; the emergence of youth programming communities; the practices and ethical challenges of remixing (rather than starting from scratch); and the move beyond stationary screens to programmable toys, tools, and textiles.

Introduction to EEG- and speech-based emotion recognition
Introduction to EEG- and Speech-Based Emotion Recognition Methods examines the background, methods, and utility of using electroencephalograms (EEGs) to detect and recognize different emotions.By incorporating these methods in brain-computer interface (BCI), we can achieve more natural, efficient communication between humans and computers.
