Due to its versatility and accessibility, individuals all around
the world routinely use various forms of technology to interact
with one another. Over the years, the design and development of
technologies and interfaces have increasingly aimed to improve the
human-computer interactive experience in unimaginable ways. The
Handbook of Research on Human-Computer Interfaces and New Modes of
Interactivity is a collection of innovative research on the methods
and applications of interactive technologies in the modern age.
Highlighting topics including digital environments, sensory
applications, and transmedia applications, this book is ideally
designed for academicians, researchers, HCI developers,
programmers, IT consultants, and media specialists seeking current
research on the design, application, and advancement of different
media technologies and interfaces that can support interaction
across a wide range of users.
Advances in Computers carries on a tradition of excellence,
presenting detailed coverage of innovations in computer hardware,
software, theory, design, and applications. The book provides
contributors with a medium in which they can explore their subjects
in greater depth and breadth than journal articles typically allow.
The articles included in this book will become standard references,
with lasting value in this rapidly expanding field.
Systems Analysis and Synthesis: Bridging Computer Science and
Information Technology presents several new graph-theoretical
methods that relate system design to core computer science
concepts, and enable correct systems to be synthesized from
specifications. Based on material refined in the author's
university courses, the book has immediate applicability for
working system engineers or recent graduates who understand
computer technology, but have the unfamiliar task of applying their
knowledge to a real business problem. Starting with a comparison of
synthesis and analysis, the book explains the fundamental building
blocks of systems-atoms and events-and takes a graph-theoretical
approach to database design to encourage a well-designed schema.
The author explains how database systems work-useful both when
working with a commercial database management system and when
hand-crafting data structures-and how events control the way data
flows through a system. Later chapters deal with system dynamics
and modelling, rule-based systems, user psychology, and project
management, to round out readers' ability to understand and solve
business problems.
While doctors and physicians are more than capable of detecting
diseases of the brain, the most agile human mind cannot compete
with the processing power of modern technology. Utilizing
algorithmic systems in healthcare in this way may provide a way to
treat neurological diseases before they happen. Early Detection of
Neurological Disorders Using Machine Learning Systems provides
innovative insights into implementing smart systems to detect
neurological diseases at a faster rate than by normal means. The
topics included in this book are artificial intelligence, data
analysis, and biomedical informatics. It is designed for
clinicians, doctors, neurologists, physiotherapists,
neurorehabilitation specialists, scholars, academics, and students
interested in topics centered on biomedical engineering,
bio-electronics, medical electronics, physiology, neurosciences,
life sciences, and physics.
With the growing use of new technologies and artificial
intelligence (AI) applications, intelligent systems can be used to
manage large amounts of existing data in healthcare domains. Having
more intelligent methods for accessing data allows medical
professionals to more efficiently identify the best medical
practices and more concrete solutions for diagnosing and treating a
multitude of rare diseases. Intelligent Systems for Healthcare
Management and Delivery provides relevant and advanced
methodological, technological, and scientific approaches related to
the application of sophisticated exploitation of AI, as well as
providing insight into the technologies and intelligent
applications that have received growing attention in recent years
such as medical imaging, EMR systems, and drug development
assistance. This publication fosters a scientific debate for new
healthcare intelligent systems and sophisticated approaches for
enhanced healthcare services and is ideally designed for medical
professionals, hospital staff, rehabilitation specialists, medical
educators, and researchers.
Data mapping in a data warehouse is the process of creating a link
between two distinct data models' (source and target)
tables/attributes. Data mapping is required at many stages of DW
life-cycle to help save processor overhead; every stage has its own
unique requirements and challenges. Therefore, many data warehouse
professionals want to learn data mapping in order to move from an
ETL (extract, transform, and load data between databases) developer
to a data modeler role. Data Mapping for Data Warehouse Design
provides basic and advanced knowledge about business intelligence
and data warehouse concepts including real life scenarios that
apply the standard techniques to projects across various domains.
After reading this book, readers will understand the importance of
data mapping across the data warehouse life cycle.
Containing selected papers on the fundamentals and applications of
Complexity Science, this multi-disciplinary book presents new
approaches for resolving complex issues that cannot be resolved
using conventional mathematical or software models. Complex Systems
problems can occur in a variety of areas such as physical sciences
and engineering, the economy, the environment, humanities and
social and political sciences. Complexity Science problems, the
science of open systems consisting of large numbers of diverse
components engaged in rich interaction, can occur in a variety of
areas such as physical sciences and engineering, the economy, the
environment, humanities and social and political sciences. The
global behaviour of these systems emerges from the interaction of
constituent components and is unpredictable but not random. The key
attribute of Complex Systems is the ability to self-organise and
adapt to unpredictable changes in their environment. Renown
complexity thinkers and practitioners as well as those who are new
to the area of complexity will find interest in this book.
The book systematically introduces smart power system design and
its infrastructure, platform and operating standards. It focuses on
multi-objective optimization and illustrates where the intelligence
of the system lies. With abundant project data, this book is a
practical guideline for engineers and researchers in electrical
engineering, as well as power network designers and managers in
administration.
