The rise of new media, new technology, and creative products and services requires a new examination of what 'real' friends are, to what extent scientific novelty is 'true', and whether online content is merely 'figurative'. In this transdisciplinary theory the author evaluates cognitive theories, philosophical discussion, and topics in biology and physics, and places these in the frameworks of compute 410 0$aLinguistic approaches to literature ;$vv. 12. 606 $aCommunication$xPhilosophy 606 $aCommunication and technology 606 $aInformation technology$xSocial aspects 606 $aMass media and language 606 $aRhetoric 615 0$aCommunication$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aCommunication and technology. 615 0$aInformation technology$xSocial aspects. 615 0$aMass media and language. 615 0$aRhetoric. 676 $a302.2/01 700 $aHoorn$b Johan$01636790 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910954627003321 996 $aEpistemics of the virtual$94346585 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04192nam 22006135 450 001 9910897978803321 005 20250808085325.0 010 $a3-031-70859-8 024 7 $a10.1007/978-3-031-70859-6 035 $a(CKB)36382826400041 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC31735076 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL31735076 035 $a(DE-He213)978-3-031-70859-6 035 $a(EXLCZ)9936382826400041 100 $a20241021d2024 u| 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur||||||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aWireless Consensus $eTheory and Applications /$fby Minghui Xu, Yifei Zou, Xiuzhen Cheng 205 $a1st ed. 2024. 210 1$aCham :$cSpringer Nature Switzerland :$cImprint: Springer,$d2024. 215 $a1 online resource (210 pages) 225 1 $aWireless Networks,$x2366-1445 311 08$a3-031-70858-X 327 $aThe Power of Agreement: Wireless Consensus Explained -- Fault Tolerant Wireless Consensus -- Byzantine Fault Tolerant Wireless Consensus -- Wireless Blockchain -- Applications of Wireless Consensus. 330 $aThis book explores the critical role of wireless consensus protocols in modern wireless networks. Building upon over two decades of research, it offers a comprehensive exploration of the fundamental principles, historical evolution, and unique challenges associated with wireless consensus. Beyond the theoretical underpinnings, the book delves into practical solutions for ensuring fault tolerance and resilience against malicious attacks, introducing cutting-edge techniques like fault-tolerant wireless consensus and Byzantine fault-tolerant wireless consensus. Recognizing the transformative potential of blockchain technology, the book also explores its integration with wireless networks, highlighting the emergence of wireless blockchain. Through in-depth analysis, real-world case studies, and forward-thinking insights, this book empowers readers to understand, design, and implement robust wireless consensus systems. Overall, wireless consensus protocols are essential for enabling reliable decision-making and coordination in wireless networks, particularly in challenging environments with unreliable communication and no central authority. These protocols empower devices to reach agreement on a common state or course of action, ensuring network consistency and security. Additionally, efficient consensus algorithms are crucial for resource-constrained wireless settings, optimizing bandwidth and energy usage to facilitate scalability and broad adoption. With applications spanning IoT, mobile computing, and distributed robotics, wireless consensus underpins critical operations like coordination and data fusion. This book serves as a valuable resource for both academics and industry professionals. Advanced-level computer science students will find it a suitable supplementary text, while researchers and practitioners seeking a deep understanding of wireless consensus protocols will benefit from its comprehensive coverage. By blending theoretical foundations with practical applications in contemporary wireless networks, this book offers a robust guide for navigating the complexities of the field. 410 0$aWireless Networks,$x2366-1445 606 $aComputer networks 606 $aWireless communication systems 606 $aMobile communication systems 606 $aBlockchains (Databases) 606 $aComputer Communication Networks 606 $aWireless and Mobile Communication 606 $aBlockchain 615 0$aComputer networks. 615 0$aWireless communication systems. 615 0$aMobile communication systems. 615 0$aBlockchains (Databases) 615 14$aComputer Communication Networks. 615 24$aWireless and Mobile Communication. 615 24$aBlockchain. 676 $a004.6 700 $aXu$b Minghui$01766773 701 $aZou$b Yifei$01766774 701 $aCheng$b Xiuzhen$01752297 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910897978803321 996 $aWireless Consensus$94211494 997 $aUNINA
