In this book for the optimisation of assembly conveyor lines we are dealing with series part production featured by a medium complexity degree and a medium number of individual components and assembly technique alternatives. Modern production techniques for medium to large series products or mass production usually involve assembly conveyor lines. They still use hand labour more or less automat…
Cybersecurity, cybercrime and cyber warfare as key words have taken a prominent place in the world of security in general. This is partially due to technological evolution, and in large part to the growth in security breaches, criminal acts and the presence of information-based weapons of war. In this publication, any cybersecurity incidents, crimes or acts of war are treated simply as human ac…
For quite a long time, computer security was a rather narrow field of study that was populated mainly by theoretical computer scientists, electrical engineers, and applied mathematicians. With the proliferation of open sys- tems in general, and the Internet and the World Wide Web (WWW) in particular, this situation has changed fundamentally. Today, computer and network practitioners are equally…
