This book presents a carefully selected and reviewed collection of papers presented during the 19th Advanced Computer Systems conference ACS-2014. The Advanced Computer Systems conference concentrated from its beginning on methods and algorithms of artificial intelligence. Further future brought new areas of interest concerning technical informatics related to soft computing and some more technological aspects of computer science such as multimedia and computer graphics, software engineering, web systems, information security and safety or project management. These topics are represented in the present book under the categories Artificial Intelligence, Design of Information and Multimedia Systems, Information Technology Security and Software Technologies.
This book contains the refereed proceedings of the 17th International Conference on Business Information Systems, BIS 2014, held in Larnaca, Cyprus, in May 2014. The BIS conference series follows trends in academic and business research; thus, the theme of the BIS 2014 conference was “Big Data: Problems Solved and Remaining Challenges.” Currently, big data is one of the most prominent trends in areas such as recommendation engines, fraud detection, risk modeling, marketing campaign and social network analysis. The 22 revised full papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 58 submissions. They are grouped into sections on big data, business process management, ontologies and conceptual modeling, collaboration, service science and interoperability and specific BIS applications.
Mobile computing is defined as the union between humans and mobile devices that allows people to be connected to the Internet through a network in order to transmit and receive information. This book presents a vision of the present and future of mobile computing. It identifies and examines the most pressing research issues in the field. Comprising chapters by leading researchers and academics, this volume includes recent publications in key areas of interest, including Flying Ad-Hoc Networks (FANETs), Vehicular Ad-Hoc Networks (VANETs), 5G, energy-efficient networks, localization in mobile networks, algorithms of mobile core networks, user interfaces, metabolic health analysis, and many others. This volume is suitable as a text for graduate students and professionals in the industrial sector and general engineering areas.
This book presents a collection of high-quality research papers accepted to multi-conference consisting of International Conference on Image Processing and Communications (IP&C 2021), International Conference on Computer Recognition Systems (CORES 2021), International Conference on Advanced Computer Systems (ACS 2021) held jointly in Bydgoszcz, Poland (virtually), in June 2021. The accepted papers address current computer science and computer systems-related technological challenges and solutions, as well as many practical applications and results. The first part of the book deals with advances in pattern recognition and classifiers, the second part is devoted to image processing and computer vision, while the third part addresses practical applications of computer recognition systems. Machine learning solutions for security and networks are tackled in part four of the book, while the last part collects papers on progress in advanced computer systems. We believe this book will be interesting for researchers and practitioners in many fields of computer science and IT applications.
The book presents a collection of carefully selected, peer-reviewed papers from the 21st International Multi-Conference on Advanced Computer Systems 2018 (ACS 2018), which was held in Międzyzdroje, Poland on September 24th-26th, 2018. The goal of the ACS 2018 was to bring artificial intelligence, software technologies, biometrics, IT security and distance learning researchers in contact with the ACS community, and to give ACS attendees the opportunity to exchange notes on the latest advances in these areas of interest. The primary focus of the book is on high-quality, original and unpublished research, case studies, and implementation experiences. All of the respective papers are of practical relevance to the construction, evaluation, application or operation of advanced systems. The topics addressed are divided into five major groups: artificial intelligence, software technologies, information technology security, multimedia systems, and information system design.
This book highlights the most important research areas in Information and Telecommunication Technologies as well as Radio Electronics. The respective chapters share in-depth and extended results in these areas with a view to resolving practically relevant and challenging issues including: management services and quality control, improved estimates for reliability indicators, the cryptographic technology Blockchain, research and forecasting of technological characteristics, satellite communications, multiservice transmission systems and effective technological solutions.
