This Paperwe describes the landscape of today's computerforensic research activities. It starts with a discussion of thedriving factors for today's computer forensic tools. It thendiscusses the “visibility and search” model employed bytoday's forensic tools.It finally argues that much of thisresulting research is tactical reverse engineering that poorlyintegrates with existing tools and fails t...

The link between emotion and disease has long fascinated mankind. Famous seventeen century British physician, Thomas Willis (1621–1675) saw diabetes as a consequence of sadness or long sorrow (Willis, 1971). Though better known for describing what eventually became known as the " Circle of Willis " , he provided a fairly comprehensive description of the role of nervous system in disease (Encycl...

Quality of Service Routing is at present an active and remarkable research area, since most emerging network services require specialized Quality of Service (QoS) functionalities that cannot be provided by the current QoS-unaware routing protocols. The provisioning of QoS based network services is in general terms an extremely complex problem, and a significant part of this complexity lies in t...

Speech and audio coding underlie many of the products and services that we have come to rely on and enjoy today. In this chapter, we discuss speech and audio coding, including a concise background summary, key coding methods, and the latest standards, with an eye toward current limitations and possible future research directions.

After 100 years of research, the definition of the field is still inadequate. The biggest challenge we see is moving away from a de-factor definition of intelligence in terms of test scores, but at the same time making clear what the boundaries of the field are. We then present four challenges for the field, two within a biological and two within a social context. These revolve around the issue...
