The papers in this volume are the refereed technical papers presented at AI-2006, the Twenty-sixth SGAI International Conference on Innovative Techniques and Applications of Artificial Intelligence, held in Cambridge in December 2006. They present new and innovative developments in the field. For the first time the volume also includes the text of short papers presented as posters at the conference.

The book gathers high-quality research papers presented at the International Conference on Advanced Computing and Intelligent Engineering (ICACIE 2017). It includes technical sections describing progress in the fields of advanced computing and intelligent engineering, and is primarily intended for postgraduate students and researchers working in Computer Science and Engineering. However, researchers working in Electronics will also find the book useful, as it addresses hardware technologies and next-gen communication technologies.

This book constitutes the proceedings of the 41st SGAI International Conference on Innovative Techniques and Applications of Artificial Intelligence, AI 2021, which was supposed to be held in Cambridge, UK, in December 2021. The conference was held virtually due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The 22 full papers and 10 short papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 37 submissions. The volume includes technical papers presenting new and innovative developments in the field as well as application papers presenting innovative applications of AI techniques in a number of subject domains. The papers are organized in the following topical sections: technical paper; machine learning; AI techniques; short technical stream papers; application papers; applications of machine learning; AI for medicine; advances in applied AI; and short application stream papers.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 31st International Conference on Advanced Information Systems Engineering, CAiSE 2019, held in Rome, Italy, in June 2019. The 41 full papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 206 submissions. The book also contains one invited talk in full paper length. The papers were organized in topical sections named: information system engineering; requirements and modeling; data modeling and analysis; business process modeling and engineering; information system security; and learning and mining in information systems. Abstracts on the CAiSE 2019 tutorials can be found in the back matter of the volume.

This book provides the latest viewpoints of scientific research in the field of e-business. It is organized into three sections: “Higher Education and Digital Economy Development”, “Artificial Intelligence in E-Business”, and “Business Intelligence Applications”. Chapters focus on China’s higher education in e-commerce, digital economy development, natural language processing applications in business, Information Technology Governance, Risk and Compliance (IT GRC), business intelligence, and more.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed proceedings of ten international workshops held in London, UK, in conjunction with the 23rd International Conference on Advanced Information Systems Engineering, CAiSE 2011, in June 2011. The 59 revised papers were carefully selected from 139 submissions. The ten workshops included Business/IT Alignment and Interoperability (BUSITAL), Conceptualization of Modelling Methods (CMM), Domain Specific Engineering (DsE@CAiSE), Governance, Risk and Compliance (GRCIS), Integration of IS Engineering Tools (INISET), System and Software Architectures (IWSSA), Ontology-Driven Information Systems Engineering (ODISE), Ontology, Models, Conceptualization and Epistemology in Social, Artificial and Natural Systems (ONTOSE), Semantic Search (SSW), and Information Systems Security Engineering (WISSE).

The four-volume set LNCS 11746–11749 constitutes the proceedings of the 17th IFIP TC 13 International Conference on Human-Computer Interaction, INTERACT 2019, held in Paphos, Cyprus, in September 2019. The total of 111 full papers presented together with 55 short papers and 48 other papers in these books was carefully reviewed and selected from 385 submissions. The contributions are organized in topical sections named: Part I: accessibility design principles; assistive technology for cognition and neurodevelopment disorders; assistive technology for mobility and rehabilitation; assistive technology for visually impaired; co-design and design methods; crowdsourcing and collaborative work; cyber security and e-voting systems; design methods; design principles for safety/critical systems. Part II: e-commerce; education and HCI curriculum I; education and HCI curriculum II; eye-gaze interaction; games and gamification; human-robot interaction and 3D interaction; information visualization; information visualization and augmented reality; interaction design for culture and development I. Part III: interaction design for culture and development II; interaction design for culture and development III; interaction in public spaces; interaction techniques for writing and drawing; methods for user studies; mobile HCI; personalization and recommender systems; pointing, touch, gesture and speech-based interaction techniques; social networks and social media interaction. Part IV: user modelling and user studies; user experience; users’ emotions, feelings and perception; virtual and augmented reality I; virtual and augmented reality II; wearable and tangible interaction; courses; demonstrations and installations; industry case studies; interactive posters; panels; workshops.

This year the 21st International Conference on Human-Computer Interaction, HCII 2019, which was held in Orlando, Florida, USA, in July 2019, introduced the additional option of "late-breaking work", which applied both for papers and posters with the corresponding volumes of the proceedings. The 47 late-breaking papers included in this volume were published after the conference has taken place. They were organized in the following topical sections: user experience design and evaluation; information, visualization, and decision making; virtual and augmented reality; learning and games; human and task models in HCI; and design and user experience case studies.

There is a lack of an exposition on interdisciplinary and innovative methods of data mining and visualization for biodata. This book fills the gap by introducing an interdisciplinary set of the most recent methods and references on novel techniques from artificial intelligence, data mining, engineering, pattern recognition, and ontological data mining fields that are applicable to bioinformatics. The latest novel approaches are explained in detail, their advantages and disadvantages are summarized, and pointers to the future development of new applications are given. By widening the pool from which biologists and bioinformaticians can adopt methods for biodata mining and visualization, computational data mining experts in nonbiological fields are also encouraged to utilize their expertise in order to contribute to the progress of computational biology, thus enhancing the collaboration between these two disciplines.
