Net locality : why location matters in a networked world
The first book to provide an introduction to the new theory of Net Locality and the profound effect on individuals and societies when everything is located or locatable.
* Describes net locality as an emerging form of location awareness central to all aspects of digital media, from mobile phones, to Google Maps, to location-based social networks and games, such as Foursquare and facebook.
* Warns of the threats these technologies, such as data surveillance, present to our sense of privacy, while also outlining the opportunities for pro-social developments.
* Provides a theory of the web in the context of the history of emerging technologies, from GeoCities to GPS, Wi-Fi, Wiki Me, and Google Android.

Prehistoric Digital Poetry
Explores pioneering works of digital poetry and
demonstrates how technological constraints that would seemingly
limit the aesthetics of poetry have instead extended and
enriched poetic discourse For the last five
decades, poets have had a vibrant relationship with computers
and digital technology. This book is a documentary study and
analytic history of digital poetry that highlights its major
practitioners and the ways that they have used technology to
foster a new aesthetic. Focusing primarily on programs and
experiments produced before the emergence of the World Wide Web
in the mid-1990s, C. T. Funkhouser analyzes numerous landmark
works of digital poetry to illustrate that the foundations of
today’s most advanced works are rooted in the rudimentary
generative, visual, and interlinked productions of the
genre’s prehistoric period. Since 1959, computers have
been used to produce several types of poetic output, including
randomly generated writings, graphical works (static, animated,
and video formats), and hypertext and hypermedia. Funkhouser
demonstrates how hardware, programming, and software have been
used to compose a range of new digital poetic forms. Several
dozen historical examples, drawn from all of the predominant
approaches to digital poetry, are discussed, highlighting the
transformational and multi-faceted aspects of poetic
composition now available to authors. This account includes
many works, in English and other languages, which have never
before been presented in an English-language publication. In
exploring pioneering works of digital poetry, Funkhouser
demonstrates how technological constraints that would seemingly
limit the aesthetics of poetry have instead extended and
enriched poetic discourse. As a history of early digital poetry
and a record of an era that has passed, this study aspires both
to influence poets working today and to highlight what the
future of digital poetry may hold.

HTML tutorial for beginners (2022)
In this video course, learn HTML, a standard markup language for documents displayed on a web page, and its concepts. Create your webpages and applications using HTML with live running examples. About This Video: Learn website development concepts from scratch and gain knowledge on website and webpage design. Learn to implement CSS styles on an HTML webpage and modulate display content on webpages. Understand HTML concepts and independently create your webpage and website. In Detail: HTML (Hyper Text Markup Language) is the primary markup language used in creating webpages and formulates the structure of a webpage. It comprises a series of elements that communicate how to display content to the browser. HTML embeds programs in a scripting language like JavaScript, affecting the behavior and content of webpages. With the inclusion of CSS, one can define the look and layout of content. This short and comprehensive video course introduces HTML and how to create your first HTML web page quickly. Then, the course illustrates how the basic structure of a website is created, formatting text and adding images, links, and tables. The course demonstrates how websites and webpages work, and you will learn to implement CSS styles on an HTML web page. Finally, you will learn to develop a website with the concepts learned from scratch. Upon completion, you will independently write code for designing webpages and websites. You will conclusively use CSS styles in creating and altering webpage content. You will demonstrate competence in HTML programming and develop your website. All resources for this course are available at GitHub.

Vehicle dynamics estimation using Kalman filtering
Vehicle dynamics and stability have been of considerable interest for a number of years. The obvious dilemma is that people naturally desire to drive faster and faster yet expect their vehicles to be “infinitely” stable and safe during all normal and emergency maneuvers. For the most part, people pay little attention to the limited handling potential of their vehicles until some unusual behavior is observed that often results in accidents and even fatalities.
This book presents several model-based estimation methods which involve information from current potential-integrable sensors. Improving vehicle control and stabilization is possible when vehicle dynamic variables are known. The fundamental problem is that some essential variables related to tire/road friction are difficult to measure because of technical and economical reasons. Therefore, these data must be estimated.
It is against this background, that this book’s objective is to develop estimators in order to estimate the vehicle’s load transfer, the sideslip angle, and the vertical and lateral tire/road forces using a roll model. The proposed estimation processes are based on the state observer (Kalman filtering) theory and the dynamic response of a vehicle instrumented with standard sensors. These estimators are able to work in real time in normal and critical driving situations. Performances are tested using an experimental car in real driving situations. This is exactly the focus of this book, providing students, technicians and engineers from the automobile field with a theoretical basis and some practical algorithms useful for estimating vehicle dynamics in real-time during vehicle motion.

Exploiting Linked Data to Build Web Applications
Semantic Web technologies have been around for a while. However, such technologies have had little impact on the development of real-world Web applications to date. With linked data, this situation has changed dramatically in the past few months. This article shows how linked data sets can be exploited to build rich Web applications with little effort.

Canonizing Hypertext
This innovative monograph focuses on a contemporary form of computer-based literature called 'literary hypertext', a digital, interactive, communicative form of new media writing. Canonizing Hypertext combines theoretical and hermeneutic investigations with empirical research into the motivational and pedagogic possibilities of this form of literature. It focuses on key questions for literary scholars and teachers: How can literature be taught in such a way as to make it relevant for an increasingly hypermedia-oriented readership? How can the rapidly evolving new media be integrated into curricula that still seek to transmit ‘traditional' literary competence? How can the notion of literary competence be broadened to take into account these current trends? This study, which argues for hypertext's integration in the literary canon, offers a critical overview of developments in hypertext theory, an exemplary hypertext canon and an evaluation of possible classroom applications.
