The book, Transformation in Healthcare with Emerging Technologies, presents healthcare industrial revolution based on service aggregation and virtualisation that can transform the healthcare sector with the aid of technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), Internet of Things (IoT), Bigdata and Blockchain. These technologies offer fast communication between doctors and patients, protected transactions, safe data storage and analysis, immutable data records, transparent data flow service, transaction validation process, and secure data exchanges between organizations. Features: * Discusses the Integration of AI, IoT, big data and blockchain in healthcare industry * Highlights the security and privacy aspect of AI, IoT, big data and blockchain in healthcare industry * Talks about challenges and issues of AI, IoT, big data and blockchain in healthcare industry * Includes several case studies It is primarily aimed at graduates and researchers in computer science and IT who are doing collaborative research with the medical industry. Industry professionals will also find it useful.

Businesses today are faced with a highly competitive market and fast-changing technologies. In order to meet demanding customers' needs, they rely on high quality software. A new field of study, soft computing techniques, is needed to estimate the efforts invested in component-based software. Component-Based Systems: Estimating Efforts Using Soft Computing Techniques is an important resource that uses computer-based models for estimating efforts of software. It provides an overview of component-based software engineering, while addressing uncertainty involved in effort estimation and expert opinions. This book will also instruct the reader how to develop mathematical models. This book is an excellent source of information for students and researchers to learn soft computing models, their applications in software management, and will help software developers, managers, and those in the industry to apply soft computing techniques to estimate efforts.
