The book focuses on a recently emerging topic in security. Specifically, the book focuses on physical layer security. Whereas conventional security mechanisms involve cryptography that operates at higher layers of the protocol stack, the methods described in this book secure communications at the physical layer.
Today, fuzzy methods are of common use as they provide tools to handle data sets in a relevant, robust, and interpretable way, making it possible to cope with both imprecision and uncertainties. Scalable Fuzzy Algorithms for Data Management and Analysis: Methods and Design presents up-to-date techniques for addressing data...
Recent advances in gene sequencing technology are now shedding light on the complex interplay between genes that elicit phenotypic behavior characteristic of any given organism. In order to mediate internal and external signals, the daunting task of classifying an organisms genes into complex signaling pathways needs to be completed. The...
