When identifying a research topic, you can search many resources to get background information to help inform your research question. Searching the web to find general information about your topic can be useful. Below are some books related to Computer Information Systems that may also be useful.
Encyclopedia of Artificial Intelligence by
This authoritative reference work will provide readers with a complete overview of artificial intelligence (AI), including its historic development and current status, existing and projected AI applications, and present and potential future impact on the United States and the world. Some people believe that artificial intelligence (AI) will revolutionize modern life in ways that improve human existence. Others say that the promise of AI is overblown. Still others contend that AI applications could pose a grave threat to the economic security of millions of people by taking their jobs and otherwise rendering them "obsolete"--or, even worse, that AI could actually spell the end of the human race. This volume will help users understand the reasons AI development has both spirited defenders and alarmed critics; explain theories and innovations like Moore's Law, mindcloning, and Technological Singularity that drive AI research and debate; and give readers the information they need to make their own informed judgment about the promise and peril of this technology. All of this coverage is presented using language and terminology accessible to a lay audience. Introduction explaining the historical evolution of AI Chronology of important AI-related events Authoritative entries on leading pioneers, entrepreneurs, and thinkers; AI concepts and theories; AI's potential impact on different facets of society; and major movies and other cultural touchstones exploring AI technology
Predictive Computing and Information Security by
This book describes various methods and recent advances in predictive computing and information security. It highlights various predictive application scenarios to discuss these breakthroughs in real-world settings. Further, it addresses state-of-art techniques and the design, development and innovative use of technologies for enhancing predictive computing and information security. Coverage also includes the frameworks for eTransportation and eHealth, security techniques, and algorithms for predictive computing and information security based on Internet-of-Things and Cloud computing. As such, the book offers a valuable resource for graduate students and researchers interested in exploring predictive modeling techniques and architectures to solve information security, privacy and protection issues in future communication.
Introduction to Computer Information Systems by
Introduction to Computer Information Systems gives an introduction to computer information systems and discusses about the computer hardware and software in addition to the subject of remote access and data communication. It talks about the various programing languages in the computer information systems and elaborates on the databases and database management system. Also discussed in the book are the networks, internet, and communication devices, computer information systems for business, the ethical and legal implications of a computer information system and the future of computer information systems, which provide basic insights on the various aspects of computer information systems.
