It will serve as a catalyst for much of our innovation and prosperity in the future. A competitive Europe will require Internet connectivity and services beyond the capabilities offered by current technologies. Future Internet research is therefore a must. The Future Internet Assembly (FIA) is a successful and unique bi-annual conference that brings together participants of over 150 projects from several distinct but interrelated areas in the EU Framework Programme 7. The 20 full papers included in this volume were selected from 40 submissions, and are preceded by a vision paper describing the FIA Roadmap. The papers have been organized into topical sections on the foundations of Future Internet, the applications of Future Internet, Smart Cities, and Future Internet infrastructures

    Bisociative Knowledge Discovery : An Introduction to Concept, Algorithms, Tools, and Applications (2012)
    Berlin, Heidelberg : Springer
    Details
    Keywords: Computer science ; Computer communication systems ; Data mining ; User interfaces (Computer systems) ; Artificial intelligence ; Pattern recognition ; Computer Science ; Artificial Intelligence (incl. Robotics) ; Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery ; Information Systems Applications (incl. Internet) ; User Interfaces and Human Computer Interaction ; Pattern Recognition ; Computer Communication Networks
    Description / Table of Contents: Modern knowledge discovery methods enable users to discover complex patterns of various types in large information repositories. However, the underlying assumption has always been that the data to which the methods are applied originates from one domain.   The focus of this book, and the BISON project from which the contributions originate, is a network-based integration of various types of data repositories and the development of new ways to analyse and explore the resulting gigantic information networks. Instead of seeking well-defined global or local patterns, the aim was to find domain-bridging associations. These are particularly interesting if they are sparse and have not been encountered before.   The 32 contributions presented in this state-of-the-art survey, together with a detailed introduction to the book, are organized in topical sections on bisociation; representation and network creation; network analysis; exploration; and applications and evaluation.

    Bisociative Knowledge Discovery : An Introduction to Concept, Algorithms, Tools, and Applications (2012)
    Berlin, Heidelberg : Springer
    Details
    Keywords: Computer science ; Computer communication systems ; Data mining ; User interfaces (Computer systems) ; Artificial intelligence ; Pattern recognition ; Computer Science ; Artificial Intelligence (incl. Robotics) ; Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery ; Information Systems Applications (incl. Internet) ; User Interfaces and Human Computer Interaction ; Pattern Recognition ; Computer Communication Networks
    Description / Table of Contents: Modern knowledge discovery methods enable users to discover complex patterns of various types in large information repositories. However, the underlying assumption has always been that the data to which the methods are applied originates from one domain.   The focus of this book, and the BISON project from which the contributions originate, is a network-based integration of various types of data repositories and the development of new ways to analyse and explore the resulting gigantic information networks. Instead of seeking well-defined global or local patterns, the aim was to find domain-bridging associations. These are particularly interesting if they are sparse and have not been encountered before.   The 32 contributions presented in this state-of-the-art survey, together with a detailed introduction to the book, are organized in topical sections on bisociation; representation and network creation; network analysis; exploration; and applications and evaluation.
