Abstract

Situated between the 1970s Soviet Union’s invasion of Afghanistan and the post–2001 War on Terror, Refugee Cities tells the story of how global wars affect everyday life for Afghans who have been living as refugees in Pakistan. This book provides a necessary glimpse of what ordinary life looks like for a long-term refugee population, beyond the headlines of war, terror, or helpless suffering. It also increases our understanding of how cities—rather than the nation—are important sites of identity-making for people of migrant origins.In Refugee Cities, Sanaa Alimia reconstructs local microhistories to chronicle the lives of ordinary people living in low-income neighborhoods in Peshawar and Karachi and the ways in which they have transformed the cities of which they are a part. In Pakistan, formal citizenship is almost impossible for Afghans to access; despite this, Afghans have made new neighborhoods, expanded city boundaries, built cities through their labor in construction projects, and created new urban identities—and often they have done so alongside Pakistanis. Their struggles are a crucial, neglected dimension of Pakistan’s urban history. Yet given that the Afghan experience in Pakistan is profoundly shaped by geopolitics, the book also documents how, in the War-on-Terror era, many Afghans have been forced to leave Pakistan. This book, then, is also a documentation of the multiple displacements migrants are subject to and the increased normalization of deportation as a part of “refugee management.”

Abstract

This book is meant for readers who want to understand GANs without the need for a strong mathematical background. Moreover, it covers the practical applications of GANs, making it an excellent resource for beginners. A Primer on Generative Adversarial Networks is suitable for researchers, developers, students, and anyone who wishes to learn about GANs. It is assumed that the reader has a basic understanding of machine learning and neural networks. The book comes with ready-to-run scripts that readers can use for further research. Python is used as the primary programming language, so readers should be familiar with its basics. The book starts by providing an overview of GAN architecture, explaining the concept of generative models. It then introduces the most straightforward GAN architecture, which explains how GANs work and covers the concepts of generator and discriminator. The book then goes into the more advanced real-world applications of GANs, such as human face generation, deep fake, CycleGANs, and more. By the end of the book, readers will have an essential understanding of GANs and be able to write their own GAN code. They can apply this knowledge to their projects, regardless of whether they are beginners or experienced machine learning practitioners.

Abstract

This brief presents the challenges and solutions for VANETs’ security and privacy problems occurring in mobility management protocols including Mobile IPv6 (MIPv6), Proxy MIPv6 (PMIPv6), and Network Mobility (NEMO). The authors give an overview of the concept of the vehicular IP-address configurations as the prerequisite step to achieve mobility management for VANETs, and review the current security and privacy schemes applied in the three mobility management protocols. Throughout the brief, the authors propose new schemes and protocols to increase the security of IP addresses within VANETs including an anonymous and location privacy-preserving scheme for the MIPv6 protocol, a mutual authentication scheme that thwarts authentication attacks, and a fake point-cluster based scheme to prevent attackers from localizing users inside NEMO-based VANET hotspots. The brief concludes with future research directions. Professionals and researchers will find the analysis and new privacy schemes outlined in this brief a valuable addition to the literature on VANET management.
