In the context of cloud computing, network attackers usually exhibit complex, dynamic, and diverse behavior characteristics. Existing research methods, such as Bayesian attack graphs, lack evidence correlation and real-time reflection of the …

We prove a nonuniform local limit theorem concerning approximation of the point probabilities P ( S = k ) $P(S=k)$ , where S = ∑ i = 1 n X i $S=\sum_{i=1}^{n}X_{i}$ , and X 1 , … , X n $X_{1},\ldots ,X_{n}$ are independent Bernoulli random …

This paper assesses the role shipping and logistics foreign direct investment (FDI) plays in developing country export performance, exemplified by the case of the large multinational corporation (MNC) Maersk’s investments in Vietnam. The paper …

Semantic overlapping community detection is an important research hotspot in social networks. However, most of the existing methods ignore the fusion of multi-semantic attributes of users and variability of topological features under the spatial …

Next let us consider the second paradigm—“The Limited Earth.” The problems caused by the fact that the Earth is limited are far-reaching. These include not only energy, resources, global warming, air pollution, water pollution, ground pollution, food

The generalized linear model (GLM) is reviewed and the log-linear models are integrated in this family. For GLMs, maximum likelihood estimation, model fit, and model selection are discussed. In the GLM framework the analysis of incomplete tables is m

This chapter gives meaning to the notion of size (cardinality) for infinite sets. We define countable and uncountable sets, and introduce Gödel numbering, coding, and diagonalization arguments. These ideas will be recycled throughout the book.

We prove a number of natural problems are undecidable. We do this by coding the halting problem into them. These problems include Conway’s generalization of the Collatz function, word problems in formal languages, the Entscheidungsproblem, word …
