Exploring adaptation & self-adaptation in autonomic computing systems
This panel paper sets out to discuss what self-adaptation
means, and to explore the extent to which current
autonomic systems exhibit truly self-adaptive behaviour.
Many of the currently cited examples are clearly
adaptive, but debate remains as to what extent they are
simply following prescribed adaptation rules within preset
bounds, and to what extent they have the ability to
truly learn new behaviour. Is there a standard test that
can be applied to differentiate? Is adaptive behaviour
sufficient anyway? Other autonomic computing issues are
also discussed
Vortex of the Web. Potentials of the online environment
This volume compiles international contributions that explore the potential risks and chances coming along with the wide-scale migration of society into digital space. Suggesting a shift of paradigm from Spiral of Silence to Nexus of Noise, the opening chapter provides an overview on systematic approaches and mechanisms of manipulation – ranging from populist political players to Cambridge Analytica. After a discussion of the the juxtaposition effects of social media use on social environments, the efficient instrumentalization of Twitter by Turkish politicans in the course of the US-decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital is being analyzed. Following a case study of Instagram, Black Lives Matter and racism is a research about the impact of online pornography on the academic performance of university students. Another chapter is pointing out the potential of online tools for the successful relaunch of shadow brands. The closing section of the book deals with the role of social media on the opinion formation about the Euromaidan movement during the Ukrainian revolution and offers a comparative study touching on Russian and Western depictions of political documentaries in the 2000s
