商品描述
This comprehensive volume provides a multidisciplinary exploration of the design, governance, and sustainability of emerging digital systems by integrating theoretical foundations with empirical studies. The text takes a closer look at trust, security, and responsible innovation, across four thematic pillars: conceptual foundations, cybersecurity resilience, AI governance, and human-centered applications.
By bridging the gap between technical depth and conceptual clarity, the book offers a holistic perspective on how digital transformation can be aligned with global sustainability goals. Collectively, it serves as an authoritative roadmap for navigating the complexities of the modern socio-technical landscape, ensuring that technological progress stays safe and resilient. The reader learns insights from computer science, governance, and social sciences into a unified socio-technical framework. The authors address the bedrock requirements of "smart" systems, transparency, explainability, and ethical oversight, as seen in its detailed examinations of Explainable AI (XAI) and user-centered e-voting. A significant strength lies in its balance of global and emerging-economy perspectives, such as AI-driven energy forecasting in Malaysia and CRM governance in Indonesia, which provide practitioners with scalable insights often missing from Western-centric literature. By transitioning from rigorous academic theory to practical applications like IoT-enabled fire detection and SME ransomware resilience, the volume remains equally relevant to corporate boardrooms and research laboratories. Furthermore, the focus on future-proof concepts like "digital resilience" ensures the content remains applicable long after specific software versions or hardware trends have evolved. This combination of strategic, data-driven, and systems-oriented perspectives ensures that readers gain a 360-degree view of the digital economy. The chapters balance technical rigor with accessibility, making complex topics like Snort IDS enhancements and malicious URL detection understandable to a broad professional audience while maintaining the integrity of the underlying research.
The book targets industry practitioners, SME leaders, and sustainability officers who require practical, data-driven frameworks for building resilience. The other readership group includes researchers, postgraduate students, and policymakers seeking an authoritative reference on the design and governance of trustworthy digital systems. This book is part of the book series, Technology for Smart Environments and Sustainable Futures
商品描述(中文翻譯)
這本內容全面的著作整合了理論基礎與實證研究，從多學科角度探討新興數位系統的設計、治理與永續性。全書聚焦於信任、安全性與負責任創新，並涵蓋四大主題支柱：概念基礎、資安韌性、AI 治理，以及以人為本的應用。
本書彌合技術深度與概念清晰度之間的落差，全面說明如何讓數位轉型與全球永續發展目標相互契合。整體而言，本書為讀者提供一份權威的路線圖，協助其掌握現代社會技術環境的複雜性，確保科技進步維持安全且具韌性。讀者將從電腦科學、治理與社會科學中汲取洞見，並將其整合為統一的社會技術框架。
作者探討「智慧」系統的根本要求，包括透明度、可解釋性與倫理監督；書中對 Explainable AI（XAI）及以使用者為中心的電子投票系統所進行的詳細分析，正充分展現了這些議題。本書的一大優勢，在於兼顧全球視角與新興經濟體的觀點。例如，馬來西亞以 AI 驅動的能源預測，以及印尼的 CRM 治理，便為實務工作者提供了可擴展的洞見，而這些內容在以西方為中心的文獻中往往有所欠缺。
本書從嚴謹的學術理論延伸至 IoT 支援的火災偵測、中小企業（SME）因應勒索軟體攻擊的韌性等實務應用，使其同時適用於企業董事會與研究實驗室。此外，本書聚焦於「數位韌性」等具備未來適應力的概念，確保即使特定軟體版本或硬體趨勢演進多年後，內容仍然具有實用價值。這種結合策略性、資料驅動與系統導向觀點的方式，讓讀者得以從 360 度全方位理解數位經濟。
各章在技術嚴謹性與易讀性之間取得平衡，讓廣泛的專業讀者能夠理解 Snort IDS 強化與惡意 URL 偵測等複雜主題，同時維持底層研究的完整性。
本書的目標讀者包括產業實務工作者、中小企業（SME）領導者，以及需要以實務與資料為基礎之韌性建構框架的永續發展主管。另一類讀者則包括研究人員、研究所學生與政策制定者；他們需要一份探討可信賴數位系統之設計與治理的權威參考資料。本書隸屬於「Technology for Smart Environments and Sustainable Futures」叢書。
