This volume includes eight chapters that describe recent advances in computer science research. Chapter One reviews the taxonomy of phishing attacks and focuses on the soft computing-based anti-phishing techniques proposed for identifying phishing websites. Chapter Two gives the basic theory and applications of quantum hypercomputation. Chapter Three presents a method using soft sets for a qualitative assessment of human-machine performance under fuzzy conditions and describes how topological spaces can be extended to fuzzy structures. Chapter Four considers forensic computing, collection of relevant data, and metrology and measurements in the cybernetic system. Chapter Five explores the features of phase change memory and proposes a series of strategies to improve its lifetime. Chapter Six proposes a new method for developing Quality of Service routing applications in Software Defined Networks. Chapter Seven discusses the recent trends of machine learning applications in cosmology and gravitational wave astronomy. Finally, Chapter Eight introduces a write-aware data allocation approach to address the data assignment problem and a bucket-based wear-leveling algorithm for phase-change memory data management.
