Unmanned Aircraft Systems are an integral part of the US national critical infrastructure. The authors have endeavored to bring a breadth and quality of information to the reader that is unparalleled in the unclassified sphere. This open book will fully immerse and engage the reader / student in the cyber-security considerations of this rapidly emerging technology that we know as unmanne

This open book provides a comprehensive and technically grounded exploration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) within the context of modern librarianship and information science. Authored by Martin Frické, it moves beyond theoretical discussion to focus on practical applications and the underlying architecture of contemporary AI systems. The text methodically cov

RPA is the use of computer software "robots" to handle repetitive, ­rule-based digital tasks, interacting with applications and information sources the same way humans do now. At its most basic level, it's pretty impressive technology, and it gets more powerful all the time. The newest advances have robots not only handling more complex functions, but also they're learning to make some

Docker has enjoyed a meteoric rise in the world of IT. In just a few years, it has gone from being a small, open source project to being top-of-mind for CIOs at the world's largest enterprises. We recently surveyed the broad community of NGINX users, who run more than 165 million sites around the world, and found that a full two-thirds of them are investigating or already using container
