As various theoretical and practical details of using membrane computing models have been presented throughout the book, certain details might be hard to find at a later time. For this reason, this chapter provides the reader with a set of checkmark topics that a developer should address in order to implement a robot controller using a membrane computing model. The topics discussed address areas such as: (1) robot complexity, (2) number of robots, (3) task complexity, (4) simulation versus real world execution, (5) sequential versus parallel implementations. This chapter concludes with an overview of future research directions. These directions offer possible solutions for several important concerns: the development of complex generic algorithms that use a high level of abstraction, the design of swarm algorithms using a top-down (swarm-level) approach and ensuring the predictability of a controller by using concepts such as those used in real-time operating systems.

As technology has become pivotal a part of life, it has also become a part of criminal life. Criminals use new technology developments to commit crimes, and investigators must adapt to these changes. Many people have, and will become, victims of cybercrime, making it even more important for investigators to understand current methods used in cyber investigations. The two general categories of cyber investigations are digital forensics and open-source intelligence. Cyber investigations are affecting more than just the investigators. They must determine what tools they need to use based on the information that the tools provide and how effectively the tools and methods work. Tools are any application or device used by investigators, while methods are the process or technique of using a tool. This survey compares the most common methods available to investigators to determine what kind of evidence the methods provide, and which of them are the most effective. To accomplish this, the survey establishes criteria for comparison and conducts an analysis of the tools in both mobile digital forensic and open-source intelligence investigations. We found that there is no single tool or method that can gather all the evidence that investigators require. Many of the tools must be combined to be most effective. However, there are some tools that are more useful than others. Out of all the methods used in mobile digital forensics, logical extraction and hex dumps are the most effective and least likely to cause damage to the data. Among those tools used in open-source intelligence, natural language processing has more applications and uses than any of the other options.

AbstractSketching is a natural and intuitive communication tool used for expressing concepts or ideas which are difficult to communicate through text or speech alone. Sketching is therefore used for a variety of purposes, from the expression of ideas on two-dimensional (2D) physical media, to object creation, manipulation, or deformation in three-dimensional (3D) immersive environments. This variety in sketching activities brings about a range of technologies which, while having similar scope, namely that of recording and interpreting the sketch gesture to effect some interaction, adopt different interpretation approaches according to the environment in which the sketch is drawn. In fields such as product design, sketches are drawn at various stages of the design process, and therefore, designers would benefit from sketch interpretation technologies which support these differing interactions. However, research typically focuses on one aspect of sketch interpretation and modeling such that literature on available technologies is fragmented and dispersed. In this paper, we bring together the relevant literature describing technologies which can support the product design industry, namely technologies which support the interpretation of sketches drawn on 2D media, sketch-based search interactions, as well as sketch gestures drawn in 3D media. This paper, therefore, gives a holistic view of the algorithmic support that can be provided in the design process. In so doing, we highlight the research gaps and future research directions required to provide full sketch-based interaction support.

Practitioners and marketers have leveraged brand equity in order to charge a premium price for their products, relative to competition, in the marketplace, yet, we do not find a systematic literature review that captures the importance of this metric as an outcome of brand equity. The purpose of this review is to fill this gap. This review (a) identifies and summarises the relevant literature, providing an understanding of brand equity; (b) highlights the academic literature which compares various brand equity measures and identifies price premium as a key metric; and (c) highlights empirical research work that identifies and validates price premium as a key metric in the B2C marketplace. This review suggests future research directions, exploring the relevance of a price premium metric as a service brand equity measure.
