Intelligent Distributed Computing V

'Trust' is used in a variety of ways in computing literature, and social trust is emerging as an important computational problem. In open, distributed systems, like the web, people and organizations

Research on applying principles of quantum computing to improve the engineering of intelligent systems has been launched since late 1990s. This emergent research field concentrates on studying on quan

JavaTech is a practical introduction to the Java programming language with an emphasis on the features that benefit technical computing. After presenting the basics of object-oriented programming in Java, it examines introductory topics such as graphical interfaces and thread processes. It goes on to review network programming and develops Web client-server examples for tasks such as monitoring remote devices. The focus then shifts to distributed computing with RMI. Finally, it examines how Java programs can access the local platform and interact with hardware. Topics include combining native code with Java, communication via serial lines, and programming embedded processors. An extensive web site supports the book with additional instructional materials. JavaTech demonstrates the ease with which Java can be used to create powerful network applications and distributed computing applications. It will be used as a textbook for programming courses, and by researchers who need to learn Jav

★期待已久！日本繪本賞得主高畠那生全新創作★ ★首刷限定：作/繪者簽印扉頁★ ★特別收錄：海狗房東撰寫．延伸導讀夾頁★ 「為什麼我們一定要工作呢？」（哭） 紅燈先生和綠燈先生，每天在風吹日晒雨淋下，不間斷的執行他們的工作。 有一天，兩人突然對工作感到厭煩，還開始爭吵誰才是最累的。 一旁的烏鴉隨口說：「那就不要工作了，反正我又不需要紅綠燈！」 於是，紅燈先生和綠燈先生決定罷工，隨意擺出了各種奇怪的姿勢， 街道上的車子、行人全都亂成一團！ 「反正還有很多行人號誌。」 「就算我們休息一陣子，也沒關係吧。」 紅燈先生和綠燈先生漸漸變成了小懶人。 沒想到，有一天，兩人被戴著安全帽的叔叔拆了下來…… 以詼諧有趣的情節、無俚頭的角色互動，以及鮮明大膽的繪圖風格，交織出一個讓人會心一笑、又深受觸動的獨特故事。平時隨處可見的行人號誌，搖身一變成了活潑可愛、不想工作的紅燈先生和綠燈先生。隨著與愛說風涼話的烏鴉、耐心開導的工廠叔叔展開對話，兩人能夠找回工作的熱情嗎？本書探討自我價值的意義。讓我們知道，每個人，都有無可取代的位置。 【本書特色】 ★帶來深度哲理思考：「你是很重要的！」 我們為什麼要工作？因為，每個人對於這個世界，都是有意義的。紅燈先生和綠燈先生的存在，讓我們不管是在颳風的日子，還是下雨的日子，都能安全過馬路。無論孩子或大人，都可以從這本繪本，重新找回自信。不要看輕自己，你是很重要的！ ★培養孩子識別符號的認知能力 世界上有很多標示和標誌，各自發揮不同的功能。例如，大家都很熟悉的廁所標誌。因為很容易辨識，所以任何人一看到，就會知道那裡是廁所。邊讀邊帶孩子觀察日常生活中的標誌及符號，可以培養孩子的認知能力。討論的過程，一定會充滿樂趣。 ★從不同觀點思考「不得不做的事」 對大人來說，「工作」總是包含著無可奈何。對孩子來說，也常因為不理解目的，而對被指派的任務不情不願。這個故事跳脫工作本身，帶領我們思考：「我的工作為他人帶來了什麼幫助？」進而理解，工作是為社會創造美好的重要途徑，而我們也能從中獲得成就感。 書籍資訊 ＊關鍵字：紅綠燈、工作、成就感、自信 ＊有注音 ＊適讀年齡：3～6歲親子共讀，7歲以上自行閱讀 ＊教育議題分類：品德、生命 ＊學習領域分類：認知、社會 【真心推薦】 吳在?╱兒童文學作家 海狗房東╱《他們的眼睛》作者 粘忘凡╱繪本作家 許婷婷╱【藍莓媽咪日文繪本親子讀書

既平凡又特別，屬於你「一生一次」的故事。 許多人生中平凡無奇的事，都需要一個儀式感，來強調它的重要性，作為創作者，我想做一個以「將緣份實體化」的概念為主題的作品，相信每個人都有自己的故事，無論是一段感情、一段記憶，又或是對自己人生的見解，不論是酸甜苦辣，都是值得紀念的，希望有機會用作品與你交流，並將每一個專屬於自己的情感，好好存放。 ----- Youtube 影片介紹：https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fY2fzVJNdw8&feature=emb_logo ▋除了用畫筆刻畫出你的模樣，更要用創作寫下你的人生 《一期一繪：詩物語》名稱概念取自於日本茶道用語「一期一會」，是我在與民眾對談後，進行現場圖文創作，紀念每個人一生一次的經歷。 書名中的「詩物語」就是以「一段人生、一個故事、一張圖、一首詩」為表現主軸，透過現場對話交流轉化為創作，期望用創作紀念每個人無法被取代的人生故事。 有與寵物之間的相伴、難以解釋的生命經驗、與朋友一輩子的相知相惜、追求夢想時的迷惘、生命中最思念的人事物 …… 等等，來自我自己或是任何一個角落的精采故事，你一定也有自己的故事，人生只有一次，如果是你，你想留下甚麼故事呢？也許，這些故事其中，就有你的故事。給自己一個機會，好好與身邊的人事物對話，好好與自己對話。 ▋這是一個關於「對話」與「故事」的創作 剛開始創作時沒有方向，直到一次與友人的見面會談後，突然興起「想送一個作品給他╱她」的想法，於是發想出在見面對談後，創作作品送給對方的行動，一開始只有現場寫詩，後來才演變成現場圖文創作的模式。 脫離學生身分以後，我花很多力氣在思考「自己是怎樣的一個創作者」，也許是因為過去都是寫自己的故事，所以這次就想寫大家的故事，希望自己的創作不再只是抒發情緒，而是充滿溫度的。 ▋《一期一繪：詩物語》創作進行方式：「蒐集故事」與「詩物語創作」 《一期一繪》系列創作目前以兩種階段進行，第一階段為「蒐集故事」，我會不定時出現在各地的市集中，透過現場繪製肖像畫的同時，與民眾進行對談，並且現場作詩（出攤消息與時間將於每個月初公布於粉專與 Instagram）。 第二階段為「詩物語創作」，我會把蒐集到的故事，轉化為插畫作品，同時將詩作完整化，並於網站上發表，未來計畫另以特展方式進行展出（預計 2021 上半年實行）。 插畫與手寫字原稿

This 2002 book investigates the opportunities in building intelligent decision support systems offered by multi-agent distributed probabilistic reasoning. Probabilistic reasoning with graphical models, also known as Bayesian networks or belief networks, has become increasingly an active field of research and practice in artificial intelligence, operations research and statistics. The success of this technique in modeling intelligent decision support systems under the centralized and single-agent paradigm has been striking. Yang Xiang extends graphical dependence models to the distributed and multi-agent paradigm. He identifies the major technical challenges involved in such an endeavor and presents the results. The framework developed in the book allows distributed representation of uncertain knowledge on a large and complex environment embedded in multiple cooperative agents, and effective, exact and distributed probabilistic inference.

Originally published in 2002, this book presents techniques in the application of formal methods to object-based distributed systems. A major theme of the book is how to formally handle the requirements arising from OO distributed systems, such as dynamic reconfiguration, encapsulation, subtyping, inheritance, and real-time aspects. These may be supported either by enhancing existing notations, such as UML, LOTOS, SDL and Z, or by defining fresh notations, such as Actors, Pi-calculus and Ambients. The major specification notations and modelling techniques are introduced and compared by leading researchers. The book also includes a description of approaches to the specification of non-functional requirements, and a discussion of security issues. Researchers and practitioners in software design, object-oriented computing, distributed systems, and telecommunications systems will gain an appreciation of the relationships between the major areas of concerns and learn how the use of object-o

Communication complexity is the mathematical study of scenarios where several parties need to communicate to achieve a common goal, a situation that naturally appears during computation. This introduction presents the most recent developments in an accessible form, providing the language to unify several disjoint research subareas. Written as a guide for a graduate course on communication complexity, it will interest a broad audience in computer science, from advanced undergraduates to researchers in areas ranging from theory to algorithm design to distributed computing. The first part presents basic theory in a clear and illustrative way, offering beginners an entry into the field. The second part describes applications including circuit complexity, proof complexity, streaming algorithms, extension complexity of polytopes, and distributed computing. Proofs throughout the text use ideas from a wide range of mathematics, including geometry, algebra, and probability. Each chapter contain
