Understanding Sponsored Search
This book addresses the underlying foundational elements, both theoretical and methodological, of sponsored search. Rather than focusing on the how, this book examines what causes the how. The book addresses keywords, ads, consumers, pricing, competitors, analytics, branding, marketing, and advertising, integrating these separate components into an incorporated whole. The focus is on the critical elements, with ample illustrations, and with enough detail to lead the interested reader to further inquiry.

Machine Ethics
The subject of this book is a new field of research: developing ethics for machines, in contrast to developing ethics for human beings who use machines. The essays in this volume represent the first steps by philosophers and artificial intelligence researchers toward explaining why it is necessary to add an ethical dimension to machines that function autonomously.

Multibiometrics for Human Identification
This book addresses research issues regarding multibiometrics for human identification, ranging from sensing modes and modalities to fusion of biometric samples and combination of algorithms. It covers publicly available multibiometrics databases, theoretical and empirical studies on sensor fusion techniques in the context of biometrics authentication, identification, and performance evaluation and prediction.

The Design of Approximation Algorithms
Designed as a textbook for graduate courses on algorithms, this book will also serve as a reference for researchers who are interested in heuristic solutions of discrete optimization problems. It presents central algorithmic techniques for designing approximation algorithms, including greedy and local search algorithms, dynamic programming, linear and semidefinite programming, and randomization.

Iterative Methods in Combinatorial Optimization
This book describes a simple and powerful method that is iterative in essence, and similarly useful in a variety of settings for exact and approximate optimization. The authors highlight the commonality and uses of this method to prove a variety of classical polyhedral results on matchings, trees, matroids, and flows.
