Computer Science Principles: The Foundational Concepts Of Computer Science

Download Computer Science Principles: The Foundational Concepts Of Computer Science

Computer Science is the fast-growing field in the World and there are no signs of slowing. Just because this is a relatively new field of study, it should not be scary to learn or thought to be too difficult to understand. Anyone who has ever turned on a phone or surfed the Internet should have a basic understanding of what happens when the mouse is clicked or the screen is touched (and how fast it happens!). How does a simple process convert to 1’s and 0’s and travel thousands of miles in a blink of the eye? What is an IP address? What do IP/TCP, DNS, HTML, and CSS stand for? How do large movies and thousands of songs all fit onto a hard drive? How can secrets be sent in plain sight? These questions are answered in Computer Science Principles: The Foundational Concepts of Computer Science, plus spreadsheets, photo-editing, web-design (HTML and CSS), learning to code with JavaScript, and more!

Smart Cities: Foundations, Principles And Applications

Download Smart Cities: Foundations, Principles And Applications

Provides the foundations and principles needed for addressing the various challenges of developing smart cities

Smart cities are emerging as a priority for research and development across the world. They open up significant opportunities in several areas, such as economic growth, health, wellness, energy efficiency, and transportation, to promote the sustainable development of cities. This book provides the basics of smart cities, and it examines the possible future trends of this technology. Smart Cities: Foundations, Principles, and Applications provides a systems science perspective in presenting the foundations and principles that span multiple disciplines for the development of smart cities.

Divided into three parts foundations, principles, and applications Smart Cities addresses the various challenges and opportunities of creating smart cities and all that they have to offer. It also covers smart city theory modeling and simulation, and examines case studies of existing smart cities from all around the world. In addition, the book:

Addresses how to develop a smart city and how to present the state of the art and practice of them all over the world

Focuses on the foundations and principles needed for advancing the science, engineering, and technology of smart cities including system design, system verification, real–time control and adaptation, Internet of Things, and test beds

Covers applications of smart cities as they relate to smart transportation/connected vehicle (CV) and Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) for improved mobility, safety, and environmental protection

Smart Cities: Foundations, Principles, and Applications is a welcome reference for the many researchers and professionals working on the development of smart cities and smart city–related industries.
