Principle of Architecture, Protocol, and Algorithms for Cog-Min
The Internet is the most important global infrastructure in the digital economy era. Its role has shifted from simple information exchange to support all kinds of novel scenarios and applications. Considering the diverse communication requirements, the development trend of the future network should support various addressing methods, such as IP address, identity, service, content, geographical location, and other potential communication modes. Therefore, a co-governed, secure, and evolvable novel network architecture is indispensable. This Open Access book focuses on Co-Governed Multi-Identifier Network (CoG-MIN), a promising future network architecture that provides an ecological solution for the sustainable evolution of packet networks. The design of CoG-MIN follows three main principles: blockchain-based global co-governed among top-level domains, endogenous network security, and sustainable evolution. CoG-MIN aims to promote peaceful, orderly, secure, and sustainable development for the global computer network. It will end the gridlock in which network systems need to be continuously upgraded due to the exponential scale expansion of addressing and routing on the current network layer. In other words, CoG-MIN enables a variety of networks to coexist and transition naturally. This will save countless establishment costs and take advantage of existing network equipment and devices. This book provides important reference materials about the mentioned topic for the research of computer network, network security, network communication, and other disciplines.

Responsive Design
Welcome to the book "Responsive Design". In this book, I'll introduce you to all the CSS functions you need to create a responsive design. By responsive design, I mean that the website adapts its styles to the display device. So your application changes its layout, alignment, font size, images and even applies different styles for different screen sizes. For example, on wide screens such as TVs, it will display horizontally, while on mobile devices it will switch to a vertical layout. The functions of Responsive CSS include modern layouts such as Flex. This includes media queries, responsive typography and responsive images. It is not possible to list every single detail of all the features in a book, because then the book would be so extensive and you would get bored reading it. There is a wealth of information everywhere. So I'll keep it simple and tell you what you need for your project and try to get you on the right track. Let's go
