• Sommario/riassunto: In this book, we aim to collect the most recent advances in artificial intelligence techniques (i.e. neural networks, fuzzy systems, multi-agent systems, genetic algorithms, image analysis, clustering, etc), which are applied to the protection of privacy and security. The symbiosis between these fields leads to a pool of invigorating ideas, which are explored in this book. On the one hand, individual privacy protection is a hot topic and must be addressed in order to guarantee the proper evolution of a modern society. On the other, security can invade individual privacy, especially after the

• Sommario/riassunto: In the election of 1872, the conflict between President U.S. Grant and Horace Greeley has been typically understood as a battle for the soul of the Republican Party. In this study, Andrew Slap argues that the campaign was more than a narrow struggle between party elites and a ; class-based radical reform movement.
