Le livre, Introduction to Computer Memory Systems, a été écrit pour tenter de résoudre certains des problèmes rencontrés par les étudiants en informatique, en ingénierie informatique et en systèmes d'information. Dans la plupart des pays en développement, il y a une pénurie d'ouvrages simples et abordables sur les technologies de l'information. L'auteur de ce livre, qui a enseigné pendant de nombreuses années dans des universités, est conscient des problèmes rencontrés par les étudiants en technologies de l'information et de la communication. La mémoire de l'ordinateur est l'un des composants de base du système informatique et il est vraiment important de savoir comment fonctionne le système de mémoire pour comprendre le fonctionnement d'un système informatique.Ce livre est organisé sous forme de conférences faciles à apprendre et à comprendre.

C'est une réalité connue dans l'enseignement des matières de programmation informatique, que l'initiation à ces matières est généralement problématique (Joyanes Aguilar, 1991, p. XI). Cela est dû à un manque de compréhension de la définition et des composantes des problèmes à résoudre (Lozano R., 1986, p. 13) et, deuxièmement, au manque d'utilisation par les étudiants des méthodes et techniques disponibles pour cette tâche. Le présent travail est une étude quantitative et qualitative basée sur la conception, l'application et l'analyse des résultats de divers outils de recherche (questionnaires, entretiens, examen de documents et observations), qui seront utilisés avec des étudiants universitaires en programmation, dans le but d'identifier le pourcentage d'utilisation qu'ils en font et les aspects conceptuels favorables ou défavorables qu'ils apportent lorsqu'ils les utilisent dans le développement de programmes d'ordinateur.

È una realtà nota nell'insegnamento delle materie di programmazione informatica, che l'avvio a queste materie è di solito problematico (Joyanes Aguilar, 1991, p. XI). Ciò è dovuto alla mancanza di comprensione della definizione e delle componenti dei problemi da risolvere (Lozano R., 1986, p. 13) e, in secondo luogo, al mancato utilizzo da parte degli studenti dei metodi e delle tecniche disponibili per questo compito. Il presente lavoro presenta uno studio quantitativo e qualitativo, che si basa sulla progettazione, l'applicazione e l'analisi dei risultati di vari strumenti di ricerca (questionari, interviste, revisione di documenti e osservazioni), che saranno utilizzati con studenti universitari di materie di programmazione, con lo scopo di identificare in quale percentuale li utilizzano e quali aspetti concettuali favorevoli o sfavorevoli apportano quando li utilizzano nello sviluppo di programmi informatici.

Es ist eine bekannte Tatsache, dass die Einführung in die Computerprogrammierung in diesen Fächern in der Regel problematisch ist (Joyanes Aguilar, 1991, S. XI). Dies liegt zum einen am mangelnden Verständnis der Definition und der Komponenten der zu lösenden Probleme (Lozano R., 1986, S. 13) und zum anderen an der mangelnden Nutzung der für diese Aufgabe verfügbaren Methoden und Techniken durch die Schüler. Die vorliegende Arbeit stellt eine quantitative und qualitative Studie dar, die auf dem Entwurf, der Anwendung und der Analyse der Ergebnisse verschiedener Forschungsinstrumente (Fragebögen, Interviews, Dokumentendurchsicht und Beobachtungen) basiert, die bei Universitätsstudenten von Programmierfächern eingesetzt werden, mit dem Ziel zu ermitteln, in welchem Prozentsatz sie diese verwenden und welche vorteilhaften oder nachteiligen konzeptionellen Aspekte sie beitragen, wenn sie diese bei der Entwicklung von Computerprogrammen einsetzen.

For thousands of years, music has acted as a powerful medium for evoking emotions, facilitating communication, and nurturing overall well-being. With the advent of new sophisticated neuroimaging technology, human responses to music and music therapy are being viewed through a new lens. As a consequence, new knowledge is being obtained about how music can produce significant improvements in cognitive, social, overt and agitated behaviours. The aim of this book is to provide an overview of neurocognitive music therapy, its impact and implications in the practice of evidence-based music interventions. The book seeks to provide researchers, psychologists, music therapists, musicians and physicians interested in the therapeutic applications of music, with a source of information about current techniques and novel music interventions. It is structured into several chapters, each of them presenting peer-reviewed research and evidence-based procedures carried out in a specific clinical context. Topics covered in the book include: Musical engagement for individuals with motor disabilities Enhancing emotional processing in autism through music Stroke rehabilitation via musical interventions Musical neurofeedback for emotional disorders Emotional modulation with music therapy in palliative care AI-driven personalisation in music interventionsThe book highlights the profound capacity of music-based interventions to facilitate cognitive and emotional processing, enhance communication, and promote motor rehabilitation. At the same time, the book demonstrates how modern technologies offer new opportunities to evaluate, validate, and potentiate music-based interventions, allowing new and innovative possibilities and more personalised interventions. This book aims to contribute to the growing body of knowledge in this field and inspire further research and innovation in the practice of music therapy.

With the growing capabilities of artificial intelligence, governments are integrating AI technologies into administrative and even judicial decision-making, aiding and in some cases even replacing human decision-makers. Predictive policing, automated benefits administration, and automated risk assessment in criminal sentencing are but a few prominent examples of a general trend. While the turn towards governmental automated decision-making promises to reduce the impact of human biases and produce efficiency gains, reducing the human element in governmental decision-making also entails significant risks. This book analyses these risks through a comparative constitutional law and human rights lens, examining US law, German law, and international human rights law. It also highlights the structural challenges that automation poses for legal systems built on the assumption of exclusively human decision-making. Special attention is paid to the question whether existing law can adequately address the lack of transparency in governmental automated decision-making, its discriminatory processes and outcomes, as well as its fundamental challenge to human agency. Building on that analysis, it proposes a path towards securing the values of human dignity and agency at the heart of democratic societies and the rule of law in an increasingly automated world. This book will be of interest to researchers and scholars focusing on the evolving relationship of law and technology as well as human rights scholars. Further, it represents a valuable contribution to the debate on the regulation of artificial intelligence and the role human rights can play in that process.

This book takes readers through the sensational history of blockchains and their potential to revolutionize database systems of the future. In order to demystify blockchains, the book capitalizes on decades of research and field testing of existing database and distributed systems and applies these familiar concepts to the novel blockchain system. It then utilizes this framework to explore the essential block platform underpinning blockchains, which is often misunderstood as a specific attribute of cryptocurrencies rather than the core of the decentralized system independent of application. The book explores the nature of these decentralized systems, which have no single owner and build robustness through a multitude of stakeholder contributions. In this way, blockchains can build trust into existing systems and thus present attractive solutions for various domains across both academia and industry. Despite this, high-impact and real-world applications of blockchain have yet to be realized outside of cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin. The book establishes how this new data system, if properly applied, can disrupt the sector in much the same way databases did so many years ago. The book explores the fundamental technical limitations that may be preventing blockchain from realizing this potential and how to overcome or mitigate them. Readers who are completely new to blockchains will find this book to be a comprehensive survey of the state of the art in blockchain technology. Readers with some experience of blockchains, for example through developing cryptocurrencies, will likely find the book's database perspective enlightening. Finally, researchers already working with blockchain will learn to identify existing gaps in the design space and explore potential solutions for creating the next generation of blockchain systems.

Light signals in optical waveguides can be used to transmit very large amounts of data quickly and largely without interference. In the industrial and infrastructural sectors, e.g. in the automotive and aerospace industries, the demand to further exploit this potential is therefore increasing. Which technologies can be used to effectively integrate systems that transmit data by means of light into existing components? This is a central question for current research. So far, there have been some technical limitations in this regard. For example, it is difficult to couple the signal of an optical waveguide to other optical waveguides without interruption. There is also a lack of suitable fabrication technologies for three-dimensional waveguides, as well as design and simulation environments for 3D opto-MID. This book addresses these and other challenges.

This monograph provides a new framework for modelling goals and functions of control systems. It demonstrates how to use means-end concepts and various aspects of action to describe the relations between the structure, dispositions, functions, and goals of technical systems and with human action.The author developed this approach as part of his research on Multilevel Flow Modelling (MFM). He based the framework on concepts of action and means-end analysis drawing on existing theories from several areas of study, including philosophical logic, semiotics, and phenomenological approaches to social science. Here, he applies it to three modeling situations related to the interaction of technical artefacts and humans. One involves the relation between designer and artefact, another the relation between technical artefact and its user, and the third the relation between a natural object and its user. All three are relevant for modelling complex automated processes interacting with human operators.The book also discusses challenges when applying the foundations for modelling of technical artefacts. Overall, it provides a cross disciplinary integration of several fields of knowledge. These disciplines include intelligent process control, human machine interaction, and process and automation design. As a result, researchers and graduate students in computer science, engineering, and philosophy of technology will find it a valuable resource.
