von komplexen Computerspielen bis hin zu Geschäftsanwendungen. In den vergangenen Jahren wurden unterschiedliche Entwicklungsparadigmen bereitgestellt, die hinsichtlich verschiedener Aspekte wie zum Beispiel Plattformunabhängigkeit, Performanz, Kosten sowie dem Zugriff auf gerätespezifische, native Funktionen sowohl Vor- als auch Nachteile besitzen. Die Kapitel gehen didaktisch in die Breite und stellen die Entwicklungsparadigmen vor dem Hintergrund einer zentralen Fallstudie gegenüber. Es werden Techniken zur Entwicklung von mobilen Webanwendungen, hybriden Anwendungen, nativen Anwendungen für Android sowie Cross-Plattform-Anwendungen vorgestellt, ohne innerhalb eines Paradigmas zu sehr in die Tiefe zu gehen. Eine Ausnahme bildet das von Google bereitgestellte Flutter-Framework, das sowohl die Entwicklung auf Android- als auch iOS-Geräten unterstützt.Dieses Lehrbuch richtet sich an Studentinnen und Studenten, die bereits mit einer objektorientierten Programmiersprache vertraut sind und wesentliche Aspekte der Programmierung kennen und einen Einblick in das Mobile Computing erlangen möchten.Security, Privacy, and Applied Cryptography Engineering: 13th International Conference, SPACE 2023, Roorkee, India, December 14–17, 2023, Proceedings (Lecture Notes in Computer Science #14412)

to capitalize on it.&“Eric Siegel delivers a robust primer on machine learning, the key mechanism in AI. A forward-looking, practical book and a must-read for anyone in the information economy.&” —Scott Galloway, NYU Stern Professor of Marketing; bestselling author of The Four &“An antidote to today&’s relentless AI hype—why some AI initiatives thrive while others fail and what it takes for companies and people to succeed.&”—Charles Duhigg, author of bestsellers The Power of Habit and Smarter Faster BetterThe greatest tool is the hardest to use. Machine learning is the world&’s most important general-purpose technology—but it&’s notoriously difficult to launch. Outside Big Tech and a handful of other leading companies, machine learning initiatives routinely fail to deploy, never realizing value. What&’s missing? A specialized business practice suitable for wide adoption. In The AI Playbook, bestselling author Eric Siegel presents the gold-standard, six-step practice for ushering machine learning projects from conception to deployment. He illustrates the practice with stories of success and of failure, including revealing case studies from UPS, FICO, and prominent dot-coms. This disciplined approach serves both sides: It empowers business professionals, and it establishes a sorely needed strategic framework for data professionals. Beyond detailing the practice, this book also upskills business professionals—painlessly. It delivers a vital yet friendly dose of semi-technical background knowledge that all stakeholders need to lead or participate in machine learning projects, end to end. This puts business and data professionals on the same page so that they can collaborate deeply, jointly establishing precisely what machine learning is called upon to predict, how well it predicts, and how its predictions are acted upon to improve operations. These essentials make or break each initiative—getting them right paves the way for machine learning&’s value-driven deployment.What kind of AI does this book cover? The buzzword AI can mean many things, but this book is about machine learning, which is a central basis for—and what many mean by—AI. To be specific, this book covers the most vital use cases of machine learning, those designed to improve a wide range of business operations.An Introduction to Cyberpsychology (BPS Core Textbooks Series)

Par Michael Burch, Marco Schmid. 2023
Interactive visualization and visual analytics tools have been designed and developed in the past and will be developed in the…
future as well. In each application domain in which data is measured, generated, and recorded we see a potential candidate for an interactive visualization tool with the goal to find insights and knowledge in the data. This knowledge can be found either visually by humans’ interventions or algorithmically by the machine, in the best case by applying both concepts in combination as in visual analytics. One of the easiest ways to get an interactive visualization tool running is by means of dashboards, typically implemented as webpages that can run in a web browser and are accessible online, creating some kind of web-based solution. This book describes ways to design and implement dashboards based on the programming language Python, the graphics library Plotly, and Dash. The readers can use the provided dashboard codes as a starting point and extend the functionality and features on their desire. Technical topics discussed in the book include: Design in visualization Interaction principles in information visualization User interface design Linking Python, Dash, and Plotly Coding in Python Dashboard examples with Python code.R-Calculus, V: Description Logics (Perspectives in Formal Induction, Revision and Evolution)
