Digital Image Forensics

Digital Image Forensics

Book Description

Photographic imagery has come a long way from the pinhole cameras of the nineteenth century. imagery, and its applications, develops in tandem with contemporary society's sophisticated literacy of this subtle medium. This book examines the ways in which images have become ever more ubiquitous as legal and medical evidence, just as they have become our primary source of news and have replaced paper-based financial documentation. Crucially, the contributions also analyze the very profound problems which have arisen alongside the image, issues of veracity and progeny that demand systematic and detailed response: It looks real, but is it? What captured it? Has it been doctored or subtly altered? Attempting to provide answers to these slippery issues, the book covers how images are created, processed and stored before moving on to set out the latest techniques for forensically examining images, and finally addressing practical issues such as courtroom admissibility. In an environment where even novice users can alter media, this authoritative publication will do much so stabilize public trust in these real, yet vastly flexible, images of the world around us.

Social Innovation and New Business Models

Book Description

Extreme poverty continues to afflict the world, and it requires urgent action. innovation can be the driving force to spark change and to find common ground for shared value creation, particularly when it is directed at low-income markets. Leading companies have recently developed innovative forms of innovation by combining three elements – the concept of shared value creation, the theory of the fortune at the bottom of the pyramid, and a corporate entrepreneurship approach – which they use to enter low-income markets by helping to solve global challenges while simultaneously generating profits.The book identifies the main forms of innovation: models, products and communication strategies. Further, it shows how companies can successfully implement innovation and presents new forms of models that can be used to target low-income markets. Finally, the book presents key success factors related to the product innovation process and corresponding communication.

  • Offers a classification of different business models
  • Includes critical factors to develop successful social innovations
  • Innovative case studies ​

Humanitarian Logistics

Humanitarian Logistics

Book Description

​​​​​​​​​​​​Humanitarian logistics has received increasing interest both from logistics academics and practitioners as a result of the dramatic increase in both natural and man-made disasters. The impact on affected populations can be all the more limited as much as the logistics operations in response to emergencies are effective and efficient. Collaboration with various relevant actors involving in the emergency resolution can help to reduce costs, increase speed, and improve the leanness/agility level in the humanitarian supply chain, and viceversa, poor coordination among them is cited as an explanation for gaps. As disasters become increasingly complex better collaboration not only with government agencies, military units, humanitarian organizations, but also through partnerships with private becomes more and more important. However, such partnerships are not easy as organizations in the two sectors are extremely different. The main aim of this study is exploring more in depth the between profit and non-profit in emergency relief operations, with a specific attention to the cross-learning potential for both the logistics service provider (profit) and the humanitarian organization (non-profit).

  • ​Suggests a list of tips on how to valorize crosslearning opportunities between  logistics service provider (profit) and the humanitarian organization (non-profit) in disaster reliefs​

Table of Contents
Chapter 1. Introduction
Chapter 2. Humanitarian Logistics and Supply Chain
Chapter 3. Humanitarian Supply Chain Relationships: Working Together to Meet the Challenge of Preparing for and Responding to Disasters

Agent Based Semantic Web Service Composition

Book Description

Agent-based Semantic Service Composition closely examines the various aspects of SWS composition, and explores the concept that a Multi-Agent system can serve as an SWS composition system in which its agents can interact with one another to satisfy a high-level goal. In addition to surveying various proposed multi-agent-based SWS composition models, the book also highlights the cognitive parameter-based semantic service selection models that can be used in multi-agent-based SWS composition, and outlines a new negotiation agreement-based SWS composition that can outperform existing techniques. Agent-based Semantic Service Composition is intended for researchers and practitioners as a reference guide for optimizing SWS composition and implementing multi-agent systems. Instructors and other academics working in a related field will also find the book invaluable.
