This volume constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 12th International Conference on Hybrid Artificial Intelligent Systems, HAIS 2017, held in La Rioja, Spain, in June 2017. The 60 full papers published in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 130 submissions. They are organized in the following topical sections: data mining, knowledge discovery and big data; bioinspired models and evolutionary computing; learning algorithms; visual analysis and advanced data processing techniques; data mining applications; and hybrid intelligent applications.
La construcción de escuelas para todos es uno de los retos de la sociedad del siglo XXI, que se alcanzará gracias a una educación inclusiva y equitativa que haga efectivo el derecho a una educación de calidad para todo el alumnado. Así lo plantea la Agenda 2030 a través de los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible, que pretenden marcar el rumbo educativo y cultural de las primeras décadas del nuevo siglo y responder a sus principales desafíos sociales. En concreto, la consecución del Objetivo 4, «Garantizar una educación de calidad, inclusiva y equitativa y promover las oportunidades de aprendizaje permanente para todos», contribuirá notablemente a este fin, por lo que es indispens...
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 8th Metadata and Semantics Research Conference, MTSR 2014, held in Karlsruhe, Germany, in November 2014. The 23 full papers and 9 short papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 57 submissions. The papers are organized in several sessions and tracks. They cover the following topics: metadata and linked data: tools and models; (meta) data quality assessment and curation; semantic interoperability, ontology-based data access and representation; big data and digital libraries in health, science and technology; metadata and semantics for open repositories, research information systems and data infrastructure; metadata and semantics for cultural collections and applications; semantics for agriculture, food and environment.
This book presents different techniques and methodologies that used to help improve the decision-making process and increase the likelihood of success in sector as follows: agriculture, financial services, logistics, energy services, health and others. This book collects and consolidates innovative and high-quality research contributions regarding the implementation techniques and methodologies applied in different industrial sectors. The scope is to disseminate current trends knowledge in the implementation of artificial intelligence techniques and methodologies in different fields as follows: supply chain, business intelligence, e-commerce, social media and others.

This book presents innovative and high-quality research regarding advanced decision support systems (DSSs). It describes the foundations, methods, methodologies, models, tools, and techniques for designing, developing, implementing and evaluating advanced DSSs in different fields, including finance, health, emergency management, industry and pollution control. Decision support systems employ artificial intelligence methods to heuristically address problems that are cannot be solved using formal techniques. In this context, technologies such as the Semantic Web, linked data, big data, and machine learning are being applied to provide integrated support for individuals and organizations to make more rational decisions. The book is organized into two parts. The first part covers decision support systems for industry, while the second part presents case studies related to clinical emergency management and pollution control.
The recent COVID-19 pandemic has emphasized the importance of safety and ergonomics in the workplace. From work-life balance and mental health to risk prevention, maintaining a healthy and happy workforce has become essential for the progress of every company. Moreover, ensuring inclusive spaces has become a pillar of business with some worrying that the diversity agenda will be overshadowed by the recent pandemic. It is imperative that current research is compiled that sheds light on the advancements being made in promoting diversity and wellbeing in the modern workforce. The Research Anthology on Changing Dynamics of Diversity and Safety in the Workforce is a comprehensive reference source...
