Smart Card Application Development Using Java

By: Uwe Hansmann,Martin S. Nicklous,Thomas Schäck,Achim Schneider,Frank Seliger

Smart cards play an increasingly important role in everyday life. We encounter them as credit cards, loyalty cards, electronic purses, health cards, ands as secure tokens for authentication or digital signatures. Their small size and the compatibility of their form with the magnetic stripe card make them ideal carriers of personal information such as secret keys, passwords, customization profiles, and medical emergency information. This book provides a guide for the rapid development of smart card applications using Java and the OpenCard Framework. It gives you the basic information you need about smart cards and how they work. A smart card provided with the book will help you to obtain first-hand experience.

Smart Factory Navigator

Identifying and Implementing the Most Beneficial Use Cases for Your Company—44 Use Cases That Will Drive Your Operational Performance and Digital Service Business

By: Lukas Budde,Roman Hänggi,Thomas Friedli,Adrian Rüedy

The digitization of factories promises great potential benefits. The implementation of the various technologies for the smart factory is extremely complex, requires new competencies and necessitates significant investments. The question is: How can an industrial company successfully manage this transformation? For this purpose, more than 500 published use cases were screened. These could be categorized into 44 relevant use cases, which we describe in detail in the book. Our research has also shown that strategy and goal orientation must be at the core of the change. Furthermore, the combination of employee knowledge and use of technology is central to success. This led to the creation of our smart factory implementation approach. In various research and consulting projects we were able to apply this process and realize successful implementations in different companies. This 7-step process starts with the selection of promising use cases, followed by a prioritization step, adaptation to the company-specific context and a detailing of the information needs for the different management levels. Stringent project management helps the user achieve positive results that can then be rolled out on a global scale. This process is not only applicable to the "actual factory" but can also be used to design smart services for the factory of tomorrow.

Multiple Intelligences in the Classroom

By: Thomas Armstrong

To respect the many differences between people"--this is what Howard Gardner says is the purpose of learning about multiple intelligences (MI) theory, which holds that the human mind is composed of eight intelligences--linguistic, logical-mathematical, spatial, bodily-kinesthetic, musical, interpersonal, intrapersonal, and naturalistic--plus a possible ninth (existential). This updated 3rd edition of Multiple Intelligences in the Classroom, Thomas Armstrong's bestselling practical guide for educators, includes two new chapters that address the worldwide reach of MI and rebut some common criticisms of the theory. This new edition includes updated information and resources throughout the text to help educators at all levels apply MI theory to curriculum development, lesson planning, assessment, special education, cognitive skills, educational technology, career development, educational policy, and more. The book includes dozens of practical tips, strategies, and examples from real schools and districts. Armstrong provides tools, resources, and ideas that educators can immediately use to help students of all ages achieve their fullest potential in life.

Methods for data management and data privacy. Private data aggregation

By: Thomas Hoffmann

Seminar paper from the year 2014 in the subject Computer Science - Applied, grade: 1,0, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), language: English, abstract: Following the nuclear disaster in Fukushima in 2011, the German federal government has decided to shut down half of the existing nuclear power plants in Germany immediately and to not have any nuclear power plants at all running by 2022. To compensate the loss of energy, formerly produced by these power plants, many solar collectors, windmills and other sources of renewable energy are being installed. So instead of having a few big power plants, delivering a predictable amount of energy at all time, the situation will soon be a decentralized grid of less powerful energy sources whose production is dependent on the weather. Also, many of those solar collectors are owned by the general public and are not under the direct control of any big utility company.
