Advances in K-means Clustering: A Data Mining Thinking

Advances in K-means Clustering: A Data Mining Thinking by Junjie Wu
English | PDF (True) | 2012 | 187 Pages | ISBN : 3642298060 | 4.4 MB

Nearly everyone knows K-means algorithm in the fields of data mining and business intelligence. But the ever-emerging data with extremely complicated characteristics bring new challenges to this "old" algorithm. This book addresses these challenges and makes novel contributions in establishing theoretical frameworks for K-means distances and K-means based consensus clustering, identifying the "dangerous" uniform effect and zero-value dilemma of K-means, adapting right measures for cluster validity, and integrating K-means with SVMs for rare class analysis. This book not only enriches the clustering and optimization theories, but also provides good guidance for the practical use of K-means, especially for important tasks such as network intrusion detection and credit fraud prediction. The thesis on which this book is based has won the "2010 National Excellent Doctoral Dissertation Award", the highest honor for not more than 100 PhD theses per year in China.

Blockchain in Healthcare: Analysis, Design and Implementation by Chang Lu, Mohan Tanniru
English | PDF EPUB (True) | 2023 | 205 Pages | ISBN : 3031453387 | 15 MB

This books brings readers a holistic understanding of blockchain adoption in healthcare by not only considering the technical fundamentals of use cases, but also the regulatory, informational and organizational challenges and solutions. The book also provides frameworks and toolkits to manage the entire life cycle of adoption, including analysing the environment and feasibility, application design from a user-centred perspective, and implementation strategies that would overcome organizational and informational barriers. Specific issues addressed include but are not limited to: How to analyse the value propositions in healthcare and which distributed actors should be engaged to fulfil these propositions? What policies and practices need to be reviewed to ensure security and privacy of the information shared? How to design blockchain systems that seamlessly integrate with other stakeholder applications, while only the needed information is in the distributed architecture? How can blockchain implementation be managed from governance and risk mitigation perspectives, especially when multiple actors are involved?

Multiagent Coordination Enabling Autonomous Logistics

Multiagent Coordination Enabling Autonomous Logistics by Arne Schuldt
English | PDF (True) | 2011 | 284 Pages | ISBN : 3642200915 | 2.7 MB

This book describes the implementation of autonomous control with multiagent technology. Therewith, it tackles the challenges of supply network management caused by the complexity, the dynamics, and the distribution of logistics processes. The paradigm of autonomous logistics reduces the computational complexity and copes with the dynamics locally by delegating process control to the participating objects. As an example, shipping containers may themselves plan and schedule their way through logistics networks in accordance with objectives imposed by their owners. The technologies enabling autonomous logistics are thoroughly described and reviewed. The presented solution has been used in a realistic simulation of real-world container logistics processes. The validation shows that autonomous control is feasible and that it outperforms the previous centralised dispatching approach by significantly increasing the resource utilisation efficiency. Moreover, the multiagent system relieves human dispatchers from dealing with standard cases, giving them more time to solve exceptional cases appropriately.

Designing Physical Interaction Platforms

Designing Physical Interaction Platforms by Maximilian Perez Mengual
English | PDF EPUB (True) | 2023 | 256 Pages | ISBN : 3658419199 | 12.2 MB

Physical interaction platforms (PIPs) such as living labs, innovation labs or co-working spaces serve as environments for ideas, experiments, and collaborative innovation. They play a key role in value creation by orchestrating ecosystem actors and facilitating interaction, e.g. the exchange of goods, services, or social currency such as information. This book explores how PIPs can be systematically designed. It adopts a platform perspective, focusing on value creation for manifold actors as a fundamental element for the sustainable operation of a platform. Well-established insights from the design of digital platforms are taken as a foundation and adapted to the physical world. This analysis is compiled of 4 major studies, structured along the lifecycle of a PIP. The first study explores design dimensions of PIPs as a basis for a design process. The second study explores the design process of a PIP itself.

Decentralized Finance (DeFi): How Decentralized Applications (dApps) Disrupt Banking

Decentralized Finance (DeFi): How Decentralized Applications (dApps) Disrupt Banking by Cordelia Friesendorf , Alena Blütener
English | PDF EPUB (True) | 2023 | 116 Pages | ISBN : 3031374878 | 12.7 MB

This book explores how decentralized finance (DeFi) can disrupt traditional centralized finance including the business areas of insurance companies, banks, money markets, and bonds. DeFi is not a company or a single product, rather it is a collection of products or services. As part of the Ethereum ecosystem, DeFi services are provided as Decentralized Applications (dApps), which require smart contracts to lock in assets for processing transactions. Changing consumer expectations, the availability of affordable technologies, and entrepreneurial drive create space for DeFi. Geopolitical crises and trust deterioration exacerbate the need. This book explains the concept of DeFi, the technological opportunities, the current reality and status quo of business transactions, and demonstrates the potential for future use and the eventual transformation of the financial industry.

Sustainability-oriented Innovation in Smart Tourism

Sustainability-oriented Innovation in Smart Tourism: Challenges and Pitfalls of Technology Deployment for Sustainable Destinations by Cecilia Pasquinelli , Mariapina Trunfio
English | PDF EPUB (True) | 2023 | 166 Pages | ISBN : 3031336763 | 5 MB

This book combines research on technology-driven and social-driven innovation in tourism destinations and the multifaceted concept of sustainability, providing an integrative understanding of the nexus between smartness and sustainability within destinations. It engages theoretically and empirically with the research question of how, and to what extent, smart technologies drive tourism innovation focussed on sustainability. Although innovation and technology are widely considered the way to sustainable tourism growth, further studies need to size the role of technology and critically address modalities, challenges, opportunities and pitfalls of technology deployment in rebalancing tourism disequilibria within local systems. Local, national, and supranational policymakers’ attention to technology investments, the widening technological frontiers, and the enthusiasm for new technological opportunities to build, manage, and market destinations suggest the relevance of this research agenda.
