Decision Support Systems (DSSs) are Software and Information Systems which make use of various data and business models, employ advanced data analytics procedures, and access extensive databases and data warehouses to facilitate with a decision process or with organizational issues. DSSs have proven to be particularly useful at the strategic level, while they usually require only limited computer-proficiency skills from their users. Although DSSs have been under development and use for several decades, recent advances in both Software Engineering technologies and Artificial Intelligence (AI) methodologies have heralded new avenues for research and development in this field. This book exposes its readers to some of the most significant Advances in Artificial Intelligence-Empowered Decision Support Systems. It consists of an editorial note and an additional fifteen (15) chapters, all invited from authors who work on the corresponding chapter theme and are recognized for their significant research contributions. The chapters are organized into five parts, namely (i) AI-Empowered DSS in Medical Diagnosis and Biology, (ii) AI-Empowered DSS in Healthcare and Health Insurance, (iii) AI-Empowered DSS in Urban Matters, (iv) Various Applications of AI-Empowered DSS, and (v) Novel AI-Empowered Methodologies in Decision Making. Targeted toward academics, researchers, practitioners, and students in Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, and Management, this book is also accessible to individuals from other disciplines interested in the cutting-edge developments of AI-empowered DSS technologies. An extensive list of bibliographic references at the end of each chapter guides the readers to probe deeper into the application areas of interest to them.

Intelligent Decision Support Systems have the potential to transform human decision making by combining research in artificial intelligence, information technology, and systems engineering. The field of intelligent decision making is expanding rapidly due, in part, to advances in artificial intelligence and network-centric environments that can deliver the technology. Communication and coordination between dispersed systems can deliver just-in-time information, real-time processing, collaborative environments, and globally up-to-date information to a human decision maker. At the same time, artificial intelligence techniques have demonstrated that they have matured sufficiently to provide computational assistance to humans in practical applications. This book includes contributions from leading researchers in the field beginning with the foundations of human decision making and the complexity of the human cognitive system. Researchers contrast human and artificial intelligence, survey computational intelligence, present pragmatic systems, and discuss future trends. This book will be an invaluable resource to anyone interested in the current state of knowledge and key research gaps in the rapidly developing field of intelligent decision support.

This book provides a structured overview of artificial intelligence-empowered applied software engineering. Evolving technological advancements in big data, smartphone and mobile software applications, the Internet of Things and a vast range of application areas in all sorts of human activities and professions lead current research towards the efficient incorporation of artificial intelligence enhancements into software and the empowerment of software with artificial intelligence. This book at hand, devoted to Novel Methodologies to Engineering Smart Software Systems Novel Methodologies to Engineering Smart Software Systems, constitutes the first volume of a two-volume Handbook on Artificial Intelligence-empowered Applied Software Engineering. Topics include very significant advances in (i) Artificial Intelligence-Assisted Software Development and (ii) Software Engineering Tools to develop Artificial Intelligence Applications, as well as a detailed Survey of Recent Relevant Literature. Professors, researchers, scientists, engineers and students in artificial intelligence, software engineering and computer science-related disciplines are expected to benefit from it, along with interested readers from other disciplines.

Uncertainty in Computational Intelligence-Based Decision-Making focuses on techniques for reasoning and decision-making under uncertainty that are used to solve issues in artificial intelligence (AI). It covers a wide range of subjects, including knowledge acquisition and automated model construction, pattern recognition, machine learning, natural language processing, decision analysis, and decision support systems, among others. The first chapter of this book provides a thorough introduction to the topics of causation in Bayesian belief networks, applications of uncertainty, automated model construction and learning, graphic models for inference and decision making, and qualitative reasoning. The following chapters examine the fundamental models of computational techniques, computational modeling of biological and natural intelligent systems, including swarm intelligence, fuzzy systems, artificial neutral networks, artificial immune systems, and evolutionary computation. They also examine decision making and analysis, expert systems, and robotics in the context of artificial intelligence and computer science. - Provides readers a thorough understanding of the uncertainty that arises in artificial intelligence (AI), computational intelligence (CI) paradigms, and algorithms - Encourages readers to put concepts into practice and solve complex real-world problems using CI development frameworks like decision support systems and visual decision design - Provides a comprehensive overview of the techniques used in computational intelligence, uncertainty, and decision

Advances in Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology have opened up new markets and new opportunities for progress in critical areas such as health, education, energy, and the environment. In recent years, machines have surpassed humans in the performance of certain specific tasks, such as some aspects of image recognition. Experts forecast that rapid progress in the field of specialized artificial intelligence will continue. Although it is very unlikely that machines will exhibit broadly-applicable intelligence comparable to or exceeding that of humans in the next 20 years, it is to be expected that machines will reach and exceed human performance on more and more tasks. As a contribution toward preparing the United States for a future in which AI plays a growing role, this report surveys the current state of AI, its existing and potential applications, and the questions that are raised for society and public policy by progress in AI. The report also makes recommendations for specific further actions by Federal agencies and other actors.
