This reference source pays special attention to the emerging research, trends, and experiences in this area which is bound to enhance the reader's understanding of the growing and ever-adapting field. Academics, researchers, students, and working professionals in this field will benefit from this publication's unique perspective.




Information Systems Engineering in Responsible Information Systems


Book Description

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed proceedings of the CAiSE Forum 2019 held in Rome, Italy, as part of the 31st International Conference on Advanced Information Systems Engineering, CAiSE 2019, in June 2019. The CAiSE Forum - one of the traditional tracks of the CAiSE conference - aims to present emerging new topics and controversial positions, as well as demonstration of innovative systems, tools and applications related to information systems engineering. This year’s theme was “Responsible Information Systems”. The 19 full papers and 3 short papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 14 direct submissions (of which 7 full papers were selected), plus 15 transfers from the CAiSE main conference (which resulted in another 12 full and 3 short papers).




Advances in Ergonomics in Design


Book Description

This book provides readers with a timely snapshot of ergonomics research and methods applied to the design, development and prototyping – as well as the evaluation, training and manufacturing – of products, systems and services. Combining theoretical contributions, case studies, and reports on technical interventions, it covers a wide range of topics in ergonomic design including: ecological design; cultural and ethical aspects in design; Interface design, user involvement and human–computer interaction in design; as well as design for accessibility and many others. The book particularly focuses on new technologies such as virtual reality, state-of-the-art methodologies in information design, and human–computer interfaces. Based on the AHFE 2019 International Conference on Ergonomics in Design, held on July 24-28, 2019, Washington D.C., USA, the book offers a timely guide for both researchers and design practitioners, including industrial designers, human–computer interaction and user experience researchers, production engineers and applied psychologists.

Proceedings of the Future Technologies Conference (FTC) 2020, Volume 3


Book Description

This book provides the state-of-the-art intelligent methods and techniques for solving real-world problems along with a vision of the future research. The fifth 2020 Future Technologies Conference was organized virtually and received a total of 590 submissions from academic pioneering researchers, scientists, industrial engineers, and students from all over the world. The submitted papers covered a wide range of important topics including but not limited to computing, electronics, artificial intelligence, robotics, security and communications and their applications to the real world. After a double-blind peer review process, 210 submissions (including 6 poster papers) have been selected to be included in these proceedings. One of the meaningful and valuable dimensions of this conference is the way it brings together a large group of technology geniuses in one venue to not only present breakthrough research in future technologies, but also to promote discussions and debate of relevant issues, challenges, opportunities and research findings. The authors hope that readers find the book interesting, exciting and inspiring.
