This up-to-date reference discusses important concepts of vehicular communication in intelligent transportation systems. Augmented Intelligence Toward Smart Vehicular Applications begins by discussing key objectives of intelligent transport systems and vehicular ad-hoc networks (VANETs). It then goes on to discuss challenges, applications and future trends in VANETs. The text focuses on the organization of artificial intelligence (AI) and aspects of deep learning algorithms, particularly multimodal transport. This book will serve as an ideal reference for graduate students and academic researchers in the field of electrical engineering, electronics and communication engineering and transportation engineering. Features In-depth coverage of Internet of Things (IoT) in vehicular applications Discussion on nn-vehicle sensor networks Implementation of mobile IP and migration of IPv6 Focus on the need of AI in smart vehicular applications Discussions on advanced concepts in the field of intelligent transport systems

The pursuit of quality has been a human endeavor since ancient times, which accelerated in the 20th Century in the industry through the vision and contributions of Shewart, Juran and Deming, who created the basis of disruptive innovations in science and technology, and contributed to the advance of industrial leadership in Japan. Quality became an essential component of industry, and has evolved with the emergence of new leaders like Feigenbaum, Crosby and Oakland. Garvin described that quality is measured from multiple perspectives, including manufacturers, payers and consumers. Albeit the practice of medicine has been considered an art beyond the scope of measurement or improvement, efforts to improve the quality of health care have also occurred. In the last three decades, a vibrant movement to improve the quality of health care has sprung up, under the leadership of the United States, Europe, Japan and Australia. This book delivers a comprehensive view, and an inviting approach to integrate its components and the challenges of measurement and innovative strategies of implementation, individual and social support.

Medical practices have incorporated electronic communications and information technology into innovative concepts and services in order to ensure a higher quality healthcare system. Digital Advancements in Medicine, E-Health, and Communication Technologies explores the developments and trends in medical informatics and its approaches toward telemedicine and e-health applications. This comprehensive collection of research brings together academia and industry by highlighting recent advances in electronic health, medical communications and applications for e-health and medicine.

El libro que ponemos, pone en tus manos un soporte de informacion de gran utilidad para la mejor comprension de los terminos y definiciones empleados en la evaluacion del desempeno en la industria. Propone y valida un procedimiento de evaluacion del desempeno para las fabricas de azucar pertenecientes al Ministerio de la Industria Azucarera en Cuba pero el procedimiento se adapta a todas las industrias de cualquier proposito. Los resultados obtenidos se sustentaron sobre la base del estudio de las definiciones y tematicas que abordan la evaluacion de desempeno, disponibles en la bibliografia. El procedimiento permitio conocer el estado actual de la evaluacion del desempeno en una industria compleja. Para la obtencion de la informacion necesaria en el diagnostico de desempeno se utilizaron encuestas, entrevistas, observacion directa, revision de la documentacion del centro, bibliografia, aplicacion de tecnicas de trabajo en grupo y pruebas estadisticas para la toma de decisiones. La guia de verificacion adoptada por el procedimiento de evaluacion de desempeno es una herramienta importante para establecer revisiones sistematicas de su eficacia y cumplimiento de sus requisitos."
