Neuware -Each year we witness several paradigm shifts in mobility systems and services, increasingly so as technology progresses. The future of mobility is people-centric, software-defined, connected, and electric. Now more than ever, it is imperative for current and aspiring leaders in the field to understand the foundations of people-centric smart cities with a focus on sustainability.Smart Mobility offers a holistic view of the current and emerging smart mobility systems and explores their foundational technologies, technology enablers, and disruptors. Author Alaa Khamis acknowledges the need for smart mobility arising with growing world urbanization, and the impact of this on public health, congestion, and climate change. Khamis expertly interrogates how a focus on smart mobility can mitigate all of these risks using his triad of complementary factors: technology, governance, and city planning.In this book yoüll study how foundational technologies such as artificial intelligence, blockchain, the Internet of Things, robotics, and many more all work together to allow for smart mobility in our modern era. Khamis additionally covers the topical events of the COVID-19 pandemic and analyzes its impact on consumer behavior and the expected short-term disruptions and longer-term structural changes. The socioeconomic changes in our urban centers are vast, and Smart Mobility breaks down the core concepts with meaningful data and insights.Libri GmbH, Europaallee 1, 36244 Bad Hersfeld 184 pp. Englisch.

This book uniquely helps you work with data science concepts as part of real-time applications using the Raspberry Pi as a localized cloud.You'll start with a brief introduction to data science followed by a dedicated look at the fundamental concepts of Python programming. Here you'll install the software needed for Python programming on the Pi, and then review the various data types and modules available. The next steps are to set up your Pis for gathering real-time data and incorporate the basic operations of data science related to real-time applications. You'll then combine all these new skills to work with machine learning concepts that will enable your Raspberry Pi to learn from the data it gathers. Case studies round out the book to give you an idea of the range of domains where these concepts can be applied.By the end of Data Science with the Raspberry Pi, you'll understand that many applications are now dependent upon cloud computing. As Raspberry Pis are cheap, it is easy to use a number of them closer to the sensors gathering the data and restrict the analytics closer to the edge. You'll find that not only is the Pi an easy entry point to data science, it also provides an elegant solution to cloud computing limitations through localized deployment.What You Will LearnInterface the Raspberry Pi with sensorsSet up the Raspberry Pi as a localized cloudTackle data science concepts with Python on the PiWho This Book Is ForData scientists who are looking to implement real-time applications using the Raspberry Pi as an edge device and localized cloud.

Neuware -This book covers everything a developer needs to know to hit the ground running and get the most out of Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL).Since its release, Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) has been growing in popularity, moving from curious early adopters to wide-scale interest, including enterprise development teams using WSL in production. This authoritative guide to WSL covers the gamut, introducing developers to WSL architecture, installation and configuration, the WSL command line, all the way to advanced use cases and performance tunings. Practical examples are sprinkled throughout to reinforce understanding. This book is designed to efficiently and effectively get developers comfortable using this highly useful platform for open-source development on Windows. WSL is uniquely suited to cloud and cross-platform development, and system administrator workflows on Windows.Windows developers will begin with the basics of installation and then be introduced to the vast library of open source tools that they can integrate into their own workflows, using their existing development tools, such as Code, Visual Studio, and JetBrains IDEs. Readers will learn, hands on, about using WSL to develop cross-platform and cloud-native applications, work with containers, and deploy a local Kubernetes cluster on WSL.'Much of what WSL is, is what developers make of it' is expert Barnes' guiding mantra, a theme that is reinforced throughout this valuable cross-platform learning journey. Developers will get excited about the many new opportunities at their fingertips and be astounded at what they can do and achieve with WSL.What You Will LearnInstall and configure WSL, a unique and novel configuration processReceive an unbiased overview of WSL, its architecture, installation, the command line, practical use cases, and advanced configurationCreate a development workstation using WSLCompare and contrast the differences between WSL 1 and WSL 2Explore, in depth, some of the more popular workflows in WSL, including Docker containersConsider and plan key factors for a large scale enterprise deployment of WSLWho This Book Is ForDevelopers who need to know WSL and how to build a development stack, integrating it with their preferred code editor or IDE if they so choose; existing Windows and Linux system administrators who want to learn how to install, deploy, and manage WSL; power users who are comfortable in a command line, but may be new to Linux or WSLSpringer-Verlag GmbH, Tiergartenstr. 17, 69121 Heidelberg 312 pp. Englisch.
