Data privacy technologies are essential for implementing information systems with privacy by design.Privacy technologies clearly are needed for ensuring that data does not lead to disclosure, but also that statistics or even data-driven machine learning models do not lead to disclosure.  For example, can a deep-learning model be attacked to discover that sensitive data has been used for its training?  This accessible textbook presents privacy models, computational definitions of privacy, and methods to implement them. Additionally, the book explains and gives plentiful examples of how to implement-among other models-differential privacy, k-anonymity, and secure multiparty computation.Topics and features:Provides integrated presentation of data privacy (including tools from statistical disclosure control, privacy-preserving data mining, and privacy for communications)Discusses privacy requirements and tools for different types of scenarios, including privacy for data, for computations, and for usersOffers characterization of privacy models, comparing their differences, advantages, and disadvantagesDescribes some of the most relevant algorithms to implement privacy modelsIncludes examples of data protection mechanismsThis unique textbook/guide contains numerous examples and succinctly and comprehensively gathers the relevant information. As such, it will be eminently suitable for undergraduate and graduate students interested in data privacy, as well as professionals wanting a concise overview.Vicenc Torra is Professor with the Department of Computing Science at Umea University, Umea, Sweden.

This book gives an introduction to the programming language Scala. The book explains with detail functional programming and recursivity, and includes chapters on lazy and eager evaluation, streams, higher-order functions (including map, fold, reduce, and aggregate), and algebraic data types.

Starting with detailed introductions to information fusion and integration, measurement and probability theory, fuzzy sets, and functional equations, the authors then cover numerous topics in detail, including the synthesis of judgements, fuzzy measures, weighted means and fuzzy integrals.
