  • Conflict Resolution Using the Graph Model: Strategic Interactions in Competition and Cooperation

    by Haiyan Xu, Keith W. Hipel, D. Marc Kilgour, Liping Fang ...
    Series series Engineering (R0)
    This cutting-edge book presents the theory and practice of the Graph Model for Conflict Resolution (GMCR), which is used for strategically investigating disputes in any field to enable informed decision making. It clearly explains how GMCR can determine what is the best a particular decision maker (DM) can independently achieve in dynamic interaction with others. Moves and counter-moves follow ...

    A Very Short Introduction

    by Luciano Floridi ...
    Series series Very Short Introductions
    We live an information-soaked existence - information pours into our lives through television, radio, books, and of course, the Internet. Some say we suffer from 'infoglut'. But what is information? The concept of 'information' is a profound one, rooted in mathematics, central to whole branches of science, yet with implications on every aspect of our everyday lives: DNA provides the information to ...

    Nature's Algorithms for Learning and Prospering in a Complex World

    by Leslie Valiant ...
    From a leading computer scientist, a unifying theory that will revolutionize our understanding of how life evolves and learns.How does life prosper in a complex and erratic world? While we know that nature follows patterns -- such as the law of gravity -- our everyday lives are beyond what known science can predict. We nevertheless muddle through even in the absence of theories of how to act. But ... Read more

  • The New Science of Cities

    by Michael Batty ...
    A proposal for a new way to understand cities and their design not as artifacts but as systems composed of flows and networks.In The New Science of Cities, Michael Batty suggests that to understand cities we must view them not simply as places in space but as systems of networks and flows. To understand space, he argues, we must understand flows, and to understand flows, we must understand ... Read more

  • Signals and Boundaries

    Building Blocks for Complex Adaptive Systems

    by John H. Holland ...
    An overarching framework for comparing and steering complex adaptive systems is developed through understanding the mechanisms that generate their intricate signal/boundary hierarchies.Complex adaptive systems (cas), including ecosystems, governments, biological cells, and markets, are characterized by intricate hierarchical arrangements of boundaries and signals. In ecosystems, for example, ... Read more

  • Guide To Temporal Networks, A

    by Naoki Masuda, Renaud Lambiotte ...
    Series Book 4 - Series On Complexity Science
    Network science offers a powerful language to represent and study complex systems composed of interacting elements — from the Internet to social and biological systems. In its standard formulation, this framework relies on the assumption that the underlying topology is static, or changing very slowly as compared to dynamical processes taking place on it, e.g., epidemic spreading or navigation. ...

  • Mining Heterogeneous Information Networks

    Principles and Methodologies

    by Yizhou Sun, Jiawei Han ...
    Series series Synthesis Lectures on Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery
    Real world physical and abstract data objects are interconnected, forming gigantic, interconnected networks. By structuring these data objects and interactions between these objects into multiple types, such networks become semi-structured heterogeneous information networks. Most real world applications that handle big data, including interconnected social media and social networks, scientific, ... Read more

  • Game Theory for Cyber Deception

    From Theory to Applications

    by Jeffrey Pawlick, Quanyan Zhu ...
    Series series Mathematics and Statistics (R0)
    This book introduces game theory as a means to conceptualize, model, and analyze cyber deception. Drawing upon a collection of deception research from the past 10 years, the authors develop a taxonomy of six species of defensive cyber deception. Three of these six species are highlighted in the context of emerging problems such as privacy against ubiquitous tracking in the Internet of things (IoT) ... Read more
