Intelligent technologies have emerged as imperative tools in computer science and information security. However, advanced computing practices have preceded new methods of attacks on the storage and transmission of data. Developing approaches such as image processing and pattern recognition are susceptible to breaches in security. Modern protection methods for these innovative techniques require additional research. The Handbook of Research on Intelligent Data Processing and Information Security Systems provides emerging research exploring the theoretical and practical aspects of cyber protection and applications within computer science and telecommunications. Special attention is paid to data encryption, steganography, image processing, and recognition, and it targets professionals who want to improve their knowledge in order to increase strategic capabilities and organizational effectiveness. As such, this book is ideal for analysts, programmers, computer engineers, software engineers, mathematicians, data scientists, developers, IT specialists, academicians, researchers, and students within fields of information technology, information security, robotics, artificial intelligence, image processing, computer science, and telecommunications.

This compilation probably looks like one of the craziest things a human being could spend his or her time on. Yet nobody would wonder at someone taking a short walk every day - after twenty five years that person would have covered a surprisingly long distance. This is exactly the story behind this list, which appeared first as a few pages within the directory StarGuides (or whatever name it had at that time) and as a distinct sister publication since 1990. The idea behind this dictionary is to offer astronomers and related space scientists practical assistance in decoding the numerous abbreviations, acronyms, contractions and symbols which they might encounter in all aspects of the vast range of their professional activities, including traveling. Perhaps it is a bit paradoxical, but if scientists quickly grasp the meaning of an acronym solely in their own specific discipline, they will probably encounter more difficulties when dealing with adjacent fields. It is for this purpose that this dictionary might be most often used. Scientists might also refer to this compilation in order to avoid identifying a project by an acronym which already has too many meanings or confused definitions.

Try to imagine a railway network that did not check its rolling stock, track, and signals whenever a failure occurred, or only discovered the whereabouts of its lo comotives and carriages during annual stock taking. Just imagine a railway that kept its trains waiting because there were no available locomotives. Similar thoughts could apply to any transport network of trucks, buses, or taxis covering a wide geographical area. It is quite clear that the quality of service and safety, and the cost efficiency of any network depend on the effective and timely man agement of network resources. The same is true of telecommunications networks. For a long time now, telecom munications networks have been designed and built with remote monitoring and control devices. The very dimensions of networks and the need to intervene rap idly in the event of an incident made these devices imperative. On the other hand, the means of measuring quality of service did not appear till much later. Data transmission networks developed during the 1970s were often designed without any network management features. The technical traditions of the world of information technology had been forged on small systems with just a few dozen terminals spread over a small area. At the time, the extension of networks to cover wide geographical areas was not perceived as a change of dimension.
