As more of our lives are spent interacting digitally - sending and receiving payments, interacting on social media, using certified delivery, playing games online, and generally participating in the digital world - the fair exchange of our digital belongings becomes increasingly essential.This book delves into the theory of fair exchange, from the historic to the cutting-edge, and presents a unified framework for understanding fair exchange protocols. Every exchange starts with a handshake, which is followed by four additional operations: deposit; verification; synchronization; and release or restoration. The environments in which these operations take place determine the properties of the resulting protocol, and the characteristics of the items that can be exchanged.Existing protocols are examined through this framework, including escrow-based protocols, optimistic protocols, and gradual release protocols. A new family of fair exchange protocols is developed which make use of attestables, a novel interface for exfiltration-resistant computing. An attestable-based protocol called FEWD is also introduced and several variations are described which are suitable for the exchange of different classes of items.Finally, a number of special topics for fair exchange are introduced, including legal issues that can emerge in practical applications of fair exchange, a legal analysis of the basic operations of fair exchange, commercial applications of FEWD, and an analysis of additional risks including participant expectations and implementations of attestable-based protocols. We conclude with a collection of topics for future research in making fair exchange more ubiquitous in our lives for a fairer digital world.

Ethics in Online AI-Based Systems: Risks and Opportunities in Current Technological Trends creates a space to explore the ethical relevance that new technologies under development may have. Stimulating reflection and considerations with respect to the design, deployment, and use of technology helps readers guide current and future technological advancements from an ethically informed position to ensure that such advancements contribute towards solving current global and social challenges that we, as a society, have today. This will not only be useful for researchers and professional engineers, but also for educators, policy makers, and ethicists. Recent technological advancements have deeply transformed society and the way people interact with each other. Instantaneous communication platforms have allowed connections with other people, forming global communities and creating unprecedented opportunities in many sectors, making access to online resources more ubiquitous by reducing limitations imposed by geographical distance and temporal constrains. These technological developments bear ethically relevant consequences with their deployment, and legislations often lag behind such advancements. Because the appearance and deployment of these technologies happen much faster than legislative procedures, the way these technologies affect social interactions have profound ethical effects before any legislative regulation can be built in order to prevent and mitigate those effects.

Software project management is a key area in the field of computer science as software now-a-days impacts every area related to human life. Managing software means the process for development and the maintenance of software must be completely controlled using various pre-defined set of rules. As the software development process has to follow various parameters and a well-defined life cycle to ultimately deliver all the requirements gathered from the customers hence it has become quite time consuming and expensive process. It is also an evident fact that failure in software is caused mainly due to faulty practices used in project management. Using the right and optimised practices for software management helps both client as well as developers. Because of all the factors the need for highly reliable software is increasing. The reliability of software is mainly dependent on two factors: the selection of proper model for development and the estimation of various parameters. During the last few decades, the former area has been a research interest for many researchers resulting in development of many reliability models. Hence, currently parameter estimation is considered to be a primary activity in software reliability prediction and broadly the most important aspect of software project management. Software reliability models only become useful if they provide a correct and optimal estimation of various parameters.A successfully completed project means that the project is developed within the planned budget and timeline which is mostly related to accurate effort and cost estimation whereas inaccurate estimation of effort and cost results in failure of a project in context of delivery time, cost and other parameters. Hence the most important parameters requiring accurate estimate in terms of software projects are effort and cost. The accuracy of the estimation of these two vital parameters depends on the correct estimation of size of the project to be developed, and the ability to convert the size estimate into man hours, duration and cost.

Strategy is the key to winning any game, and Data Strategy is the key to winning the Data Management game. Data Strategy is a concept in the plural, as it comprises a set of different interrelated strategies that work together to meet business strategic objectives and business data needs and solve an organization's data pain points. Data Strategies help manage expectations of what is happening in the data arena. Describing them is an art. Thus, a canvas is needed to capture and communicate them. This book shows you what those constituent strategies should be and what goes into their canvases. It is a comprehensive guide that will take you step by step on how to produce an Enterprise Level Data Strategy. If you follow this advice, you will have a practical, agile, and easy-to-communicate (PAC) Data Strategy to keep your teams and organization aligned. We all know that data will play an increasingly important role in all future operations. How you personally and your organization apply data to operations will be the difference between success and failure. Have worked in this area for many years, the time is ripe for the next step in the evolution of data strategy. Marilu has taken this step. As an enthusiastic adherent to the business canvas technique, I greatly admire the diligence with which she has applied this to the concept of formulating a data strategy. There is a wealth of material in this very dense book of extremely useful tips, techniques, and guidance. Probably the most difficult aspect of data strategy formulation centers on the challenge of meaningfully engaging various stakeholders in the necessary dialogs required to take your organizations data and applying it meaningfully in support of the organizational strategy. The method described provides all the guidance you will need.Peter AikenPresident, DAMA InternationalThis is a comprehensive book on data strategies. Marilu Lopez has come up with a way to connect the data strategy to executive management that until now has been a missing piece; how to set the data strategies in motion. She doesn't just go into how to create a data strategy as if it were a cake to be baked. Instead, she makes the reader think about what kind of data strategies are needed and how they fit into your organization's challenges, intentions, and aspirations. The content is very credible as Marilu Lopez consistently uses and relates to academic research, literature, and thought leaders' experiences. Thus, her PAC framework is based on today's accumulated knowledge and takes you further from there. If you are about to take on data strategy work, you should start by first checking out Marilu Lopez's messages.Håkan EdvinssonCTO, Principal Consultant, Informed DecisionsToday's college graduates think that technology is all about choosing a technology or a technology stack in order to get work done. They don't see that there is a larger infrastructure that they are a part of. What is needed is a book on the larger concepts that shape the IT industry. I recommend the book by Marilu Lopez as a starting place for understanding the larger framework under which IT operates.Bill InmonCEO of Forest Rim Technology
