Modern data scientists work with a number of tools and operating system facilities in addition to online platforms. Mastering these in combination to manage their data and to deploy software, models and data as ready-to-use online services as well as to perform data science and analysis tasks is in the focus of Operating Systems and Infrastructure in Data Science.

In this volume, the authors present a self-contained introduction to discrete mathematics – the science of finite and countably infinite structures. In addition to taking a theoretical approach, they also include many practical exercises. The text covers a broad range of topics such as propositional logic, set theory as well as detailed treatments of combinatorics and graph theory. This is complemented by an extensive introduction to modern cryptography, including the RSA cryptosystem, "postquantum" systems, and the numbertheoretic and algebraic prerequisites thereof.

Blockchain is widely considered a new key technology. The Foundation for Technology Assessment (TA-SWISS) has proposed a comprehensive assessment of blockchain technologies. With this publication, TA-SWISS provides the much-needed social contextualisation of blockchain.

Computer werden leistungsfähiger und können komplizierte Probleme immer schneller lösen. Gleichzeitig stehen, dank Internet und Smartphones, grosse Mengen an Daten zur Verfügung. Beides fördert die Entwicklung von künstlicher Intelligenz (KI). Anspruchsvolle Aufgaben, an denen bisherige Computerprogramme gescheitert sind, löst künstliche Intelligenz scheinbar mühelos. Bekannte Beispiele sind KI-Systeme, die Sprachen übersetzen oder menschliche Gegner in Spielen aller Art bezwingen. Stetig wird die künstliche Intelligenz verbessert und übernimmt Tätigkeiten, die bisher Menschen vorbehalten waren, etwa Steuerbetrug identifizieren oder Krankheiten diagnostizieren. Künstliche Intelligenz gilt daher als wichtiger Treiber des digitalen Wandels.

A common level of understanding is the key to collaboration and the production of good quality. Any discussions about and the modelling of business processes and the respectively manipulated data can be only as good as the underlying comprehension of the matter itself.

Der Begriff Informationstechnologie ist in heutiger Verwendung so breit angelegt wie die Anwendungen der IT selbst. Er umfasst nicht nur Informatik, Computer- und Kommunikationstechnologie, sondern auch die psychologischen und sozialen Aspekte als Folge der Durchdringung des Alltagslebens und des Managements mit IT-Anwendungen.
