This fascinating, colourful book offers in-depth insights and first-hand working experiences in the production of art works, using simple computational models with rich morphological behaviour, at the edge of mathematics, computer science, physics and biology. It organically combines ground breaking scientific discoveries in the theory of computation and complex systems with artistic representa…
This book is concerned with the associated issues between the differing paradigms of academic and organizational computing infrastructures. Driven by the increasing impact Information Communication Technology (ICT) has on our working and social lives, researchers within the Computer Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW) field try and find ways to situate new hardware and software in rapidly changin…
Designing for iOS with Sketch takes you through the process of designing your iOS app using Bohemian Code?s Sketch. Sketch is a powerful new design program that is quickly replacing Adobe PhotoShop for many designers designing for mobile apps and the mobile web. This book will introduce you to the program and then take you through the steps of designing your very own app. It includes examples a…
This work addresses stealthy peripheral-based attacks on host computers and presents a new approach to detecting them. Peripherals can be regarded as separate systems that have a dedicated processor and dedicated runtime memory to handle their tasks. The book addresses the problem that peripherals generally communicate with the host via the host?s main memory, storing cryptographic keys, passwo…
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 6th International Conference on Detection of Intrusions and Malware, and Vulnerability Assessment, DIMVA 2009, held in Milan, Italy, in July 2009. The 10 revised full papers presented together with three extended abstracts were carefully selected from 44 initial submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on malware and SPAM, e…
