    Urban Informatics

    This open access book is the first to systematically introduce the principles of urban informatics and its application to every aspect of the city that involves its functioning, control, management, and future planning. It introduces new models and tools being developed to understand and implement these technologies that enable cities to function more efficiently – to become ‘smart’ and ‘sustainable’. The smart city has quickly emerged as computers have become ever smaller to the point where they can be embedded into the very fabric of the city, as well as being central to new ways in which the population can communicate and act. When cities are wired in this way, they have the potential to become sentient and responsive, generating massive streams of ‘big’ data in real time as well as providing immense opportunities for extracting new forms of urban data through crowdsourcing. This book offers a comprehensive review of the methods that form the core of urban informatics from various kinds of urban remote sensing to new approaches to machine learning and statistical modelling. It provides a detailed technical introduction to the wide array of tools information scientists need to develop the key urban analytics that are fundamental to learning about the smart city, and it outlines ways in which these tools can be used to inform design and policy so that cities can become more efficient with a greater concern for environment and equity

    La flexibilidad de la transmisión de la información y los reducidos precios de los dispositivos digitales hacen posible que la gran mayoría de personas tengan acceso a reproducir, editar e intercambiar todo tipo de contenidos multimedia. La Red permite que los contenidos se puedan transmitir sin ningún problema y la redistribución se realiza sin pérdida de calidad alguna. La facilidad con la que se puede modificar un contenido y la distribución sin permiso de este han contribuido a que la protección del contenido y la prevención de las manipulaciones se hayan convertido en una importante área de investigación. Esto hace que las técnicas de protección de contenidos digitales y, entre ellas, las técnicas de watermarking sean de gran importancia para proteger los derechos de autor o para autenticar el contenido.The flexibility of content transmission and the low prices of digital players make it possible for that vast majority of people to play, edit and exchange all kinds of multimedia contents. The Internet allows that all these contents are transmitted without effort and redistribution can be performed without any kind of quality loss. The easiness to modify contents and the unauthorised distribution of them have contributed to the development of content protection and tampering prevention as relevant research topics. Because of this, digital content protection techniques and, among them, watermarking systems have become suitable strategies for copyright protection and content authentication.La flexibilitat de la transmissió de la informació i els preus reduïts dels dispositius digitals fan possible que la gran majoria de persones tinguin accés a reproduir, editar i intercanviar tot tipus de continguts multimèdia. La Xarxa permet que els continguts es puguin transmetre sense cap problema i la redistribució es realitza sense cap pèrdua de qualitat. La facilitat amb què es pot modificar un contingut i la distribució sense permís d'aquest han contribuït a fer que la protecció del contingut i la prevenció de les manipulacions s'hagin convertit en una important àrea de recerca. Això fa que les tècniques de protecció de continguts digitals i, entre elles, les tècniques de watermarking siguin de gran importància per protegir els drets d’autor o per autenticar el contingut.Societat de la informació i el coneixemen
