This volume gives language teachers, software designers, and researchers who wish to use technology in second or foreign language education the information they need to absorb what has been achieved so far and to make sense of it. It is designed to enable the kind of critical reading of a substantial literature that leads to a balanced and detailed knowledge of the field. Chapter by chapter, the book builds, through description, analysis, examples, and discussion, a detailed picture of modern CALL.In this book, the label “CALL” is interpreted broadly to include technology-enhanced language learning, Web-enhanced language learning, and information and communication technologies for language learning. The work is distinguished by its attention to a range of languages rather than just English.The authors first set the scene and introduce major areas of interest and growth in CALL, and then look in depth at seven important dimensions: design, evaluation, computer-mediated communication, th

本書所談的是中文電腦史。然而更重要的是，它是通往書寫歷史新時代的初步路線圖。從「拼音」步入「超書寫」　數位時代的中文如何從巨大的檢索字盤，走到現今的「超書寫」快速輸入？--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------「《中文數位探索》是第一本探討數位時代中文發展史的書籍，以跨越十五年以上的研究為基礎，追溯了電子化中文從二戰結束誕生後，直至今日的繁榮發展過程。這部作品基於口述歷史、實體文物及來自亞洲、歐洲和北美幾十家館藏檔案。描述了包括IBM、中國中央新聞社、RCA、麻省理工學院、中央情報局、美國空軍、美國陸軍、五角大廈、蘭德公司、英國電信巨頭Cable and Wireless（大東電報局）、矽谷、台灣軍方、日本工業界，以及中國大陸的高層智庫、工業和軍事機構中，那些古怪且精彩的人物故事。」本書是墨磊寧教授研究漢字從打字機時代到資訊時代的輸入法演進過程的第二本書。承接第一本《中文打字機》的論述，這本《中文數位探索》從1940年代美國IBM公司推出的中文打字機開始談起，談論中文字如何與電腦結合，結合過程當中的各種輸入法嘗試，也會觸及當前數位時代的漢字輸入展望。本書要回答的核心問題，是《中文打字機》裡尚未被完全解決的一個大哉問：「如何用一組鍵盤打出上百萬字的中文？」這曾經被認為是不可能的事，卻在漢字化入拼音系統後，在電腦時代達成了。這也造就了當前漢字的廣泛流通。在個人電腦仍是雛形的時代，中文輸入就以圖形組成的方式，部首拆分的方式，集結各路菁英的熱情投入，研究出各種各樣的組合輸入方式。也因著QWERTY鍵盤在電腦輸入上成為主流，而使輸入方式聚焦在這有限的鍵盤上，衍生出倉頡、注音、拼音等各種輸入法，對輸入法的研究熱情在華文世界至今仍未休止。硬體的改進也促進了中文輸入的速度，從插入漢卡，到隨著電腦容量與計算能力的激增，一步步打造中文輸入更順暢的世界。本書提出中文輸入的六大面向，依時序分章探討，包括自動完成、中文鍵盤、輸入法戰爭、印表機周邊、中文模組化，以及所謂「超書寫」的出現如何衝擊並影響了中文輸入法及漢字的未來。另外，作者也觀察到當前中文在網路世界盛行的風潮，以及新一代中國年輕人「提筆忘字」的危機。這兩個並存但矛盾的現

美國2022年資訊安全名人堂（CybersecurityCanonHallofFame2022）得獎作品個資外洩、網路詐騙、駭客勒索猖獗，受害者卻求償無門。一本書，分析資訊安全的歷史，以及網路系統如此脆弱的原因。你常常這樣做嗎？●定期更換各種網路密碼●連網設備用畢之後，隨手登出、關機●對於來路不明的電郵、網址心存懷疑，不會因為好奇而點開●時常關心資訊安全新聞，例如：網路詐騙、駭客入侵、個資外洩事件等網路科技急速發展，資訊安全卻有很多漏洞，導致個資外洩、詐騙頻傳，甚至遭到駭客和勒索軟體的攻擊。事實上，資訊系統的本質其實很脆弱，並不像大家想像的「牢靠」。資安問題持續存在且難以根除的原因在於，許多開發者和企業在設計和推出系統時，往往採取「先行動，後補救」策略，導致許多系統在推出後，才發現存在嚴重的安全漏洞，不僅為後續的修補和維護帶來了巨大挑戰，更為潛在的攻擊者提供了可乘之機。安德魯‧史都華（AndrewJ.Stewart）在書中詳述資訊安全從發展初期至今的歷史，其實是連續失敗的過程，即使到了現在，嚴密的資安依然無法杜絕個資外洩、網路勒索的發生，從個人到企業的傷害，仍然持續擴大。這本書特別從攻擊者、防禦者的角度分析過去的資安事件，也從政策層面探討人們在不同年代如何填補資安漏洞。然而，造成資安破口的根源，不只是系統出現漏洞，往往人性的脆弱也是原因之一，例如因為好奇、貪圖方便、妄想致富而落入網路詐騙、個資外洩的陷阱。史都華認為，說不定我們可以藉由心理學和行為經濟學對人類行為得出新的見解，進而讓資訊安全問題獲得解決。現在是過去的產物，想要面對當今的問題，就必須從了解歷史開始。這本書帶我們了解橫跨半個世紀的資安攻防戰，讓活在虛偽又真實時代的我們，重新認識資訊安全的全貌。

Two leaders in the field offer a compelling analysis of the current state of the art and reveal the steps we must take to achieve a robust artificial intelligence that can make our lives better.“Finally, a book that tells us what AI is, what AI is not, and what AI could become if only we are ambitious and creative enough.” —Garry Kasparov, former world chess champion and author ofDeep ThinkingDespite the hype surrounding AI, creating an intelligence that rivals or exceeds human levels is far more complicated than we have been led to believe. Professors Gary Marcus and Ernest Davis have spent their careers at the forefront of AI research and have witnessed some of the greatest milestones in the field, but they argue that a computer beating a human in Jeopardy! does not signal that we are on the doorstep of fully autonomous cars or superintelligent machines. The achievements in the field thus far have occurred in closed systems with fixed sets of rules, and these approaches are too narro

Covering many techniques widely used in research, this book will help researchers in the physical sciences and engineering solve troublesome - and potentially very time consuming - problems in their work. The book deals with technical difficulties that often arise unexpectedly during the use of various common experimental methods, as well as with human error. It provides preventive measures and solutions for such problems, thereby saving valuable time for researchers. Some of the topics covered are: sudden leaks in vacuum systems, electromagnetic interference in electronic instruments, vibrations in sensitive equipment, and bugs in computer software. The book also discusses mistakes in mathematical calculations, and pitfalls in designing and carrying out experiments. Each chapter contains a summary of its key points, to give a quick overview of important potential problems and their solutions in a given area.
