Urban Planning in a World of Informal Politics
In many rapidly urbanizing countries in Africa, Asia, and Latin America, local politics undermines the effectiveness of urban planning. Politicians have incentives to ignore formal urban plans and sideline planners, and instead provide urban land and services through informal channels in order to cultivate political constituencies (a form of what political scientists refer to as “clientelism”). This results in inequitable and environmentally damaging patterns of urban growth in some of the largest and most rapidly urbanizing countries in the world. The technocratic planning solutions often advocated by governments and international development organizations are not enough. To overcome th...
Deep Learning in Textual Low-Data Regimes for Cybersecurity
In today's fast-paced cybersecurity landscape, professionals are increasingly challenged by the vast volumes of cyber threat data, making it difficult to identify and mitigate threats effectively. Traditional clustering methods help in broadly categorizing threats but fall short when it comes to the fine-grained analysis necessary for precise threat management. Supervised machine learning offers a potential solution, but the rapidly changing nature of cyber threats renders static models ineffective and the creation of new models too labor-intensive. This book addresses these challenges by introducing innovative low-data regime methods that enhance the machine learning process with minimal la...
Computational Science – ICCS 2024
The 7-volume set LNCS 14832 – 14838 constitutes the proceedings of the 24th International Conference on Computational Science, ICCS 2024, which took place in Malaga, Spain, during July 2–4, 2024. The 155 full papers and 70 short papers included in these proceedings were carefully reviewed and selected from 430 submissions. They were organized in topical sections as follows: Part I: ICCS 2024 Main Track Full Papers; Part II: ICCS 2024 Main Track Full Papers; Part III: ICCS 2024 Main Track Short Papers; Advances in High-Performance Computational Earth Sciences: Numerical Methods, Frameworks and Applications; Artificial Intelligence and High-Performance Computing for Advanced Simulations; P...
Urban Vulnerability: Inequality and Resilience in Indian Cities
This book rigorously examines post-colonial urban life in India's Global South cities. Through intensive ethnographic fieldwork across over twenty slums in Bhopal and Indore, Sanjay Jothe uncovers the realities of those who build and sustain cities, yet remain trapped on their economic and social margins. It introduces "urban vulnerability" as a vital analytical tool. This framework captures the historical, social, and political forces - caste hierarchies, class divides, gender dynamics, migration patterns, and institutional discrimination - that forge hostile urban environments. Rather than portraying slum-dwellers as mere victims, the book celebrates their agency: everyday strategies of re...
