The 2015 International Conference on Applied System Innovation (ICASI 2015) was held May 22-27, 2015 in Osaka, Japan and provided a unified communication platform for researchers active in a wide range of research fields. Professionals from industry, academia and government were encouraged to discourse on research and development, professional practice, business and management in the information, innovation, communication and engineering fields. This conference enabled interdisciplinary collaboration between science and engineering technologists in the academic and industry fields as well as networking internationally. The conference received 1063 submitted papers, whereby 421 papers were selected by the committees to be presented at the ICASI 2015 conference. These papers were divided into 13 Regular Sessions and 13 Invited Sessions, and presented in several parallel sessions. The ICASI 2015 committees selected 226 excellent papers for publication in this proceedings volume, covering topics ranging from information technology, innovation design, communication science and engineering, industrial design, creative design, applied mathematics, computer science, design theory and cultural and creative research to electrical and electronic engineering, mechanical and automation engineering, green technology and architecture engineering and material science, among others.

System Innovation for a World in Transition: Applied System Innovation IX, includes the contributions presented at the IEEE 9th International Conference on Applied System Innovation (ICASI 2023, Chiba, Japan, 21-25 April 2023). The conference received more than 600 submitted papers from 12 different countries, whereby roughly one quarter of these papers was selected to present at ICASI 2023. The book aims to provide an integrated communication platform for researchers from a wide range of topics including information technology, communication science, applied mathematics, computer science, advanced material science, and engineering. Hopefully, it will enhance interdisciplinary collaborations between science and engineering technologists in the fields of academics and related industries.

This book aims to provide an integrated communication platform for researchers from a wide range of topics including: Information Technology Communication Science Applied Mathematics Computer Science Advanced Material Science Engineering System Innovation for a Troubled World: Applied System Innovation VIII aims at science and engineering technologists, academics and professionals from the above mentioned areas.

This volume presents a portfolio of cases and applications on technology roadmapping (TRM) for products and services. It provides a brief overview on criteria or metrics used for evaluating the success level of TRM and then offers six case examples from sectors such as transportation, smart technologies and household electronics. A new innovation in this book is a section of detailed technology roadmap samples that technology managers can apply to emerging technologies.

System Innovation for an Artificial Intelligence Era: Applied System Innovation X contains the papers presented at the IEEE 10th International Conference on Applied System Innovation (ICASI 2024, Kyoto, Japan, 17-21 April 2024. Of the more than 600 submitted papers from 12 different countries, after review approximately a quarter was accepted for publication. The book aims to provide an integrated communication platform for researchers from a wide range of topics including information technology, communication science, applied mathematics, computer science, advanced material science, and engineering. System Innovation for an Artificial Intelligence Era: Applied System Innovation X enhances interdisciplinary collaborations between science and engineering and is aimed at academics and technologists interested in the above mentioned areas.

System Innovation in a Post-Pandemic World contains the papers presented at the IEEE 7th International Conference on Applied System Innovation (ICASI 2021, Alishan, Taiwan, September 24-25, 2021). The conference received more than 200 submitted papers from 11 different countries, whereby roughly one third of these papers was selected by the committees and invited to present at ICASI 2021. The book provides an integrated communication platform for researchers from a wide range of disciplines including information technology, communication science, applied mathematics, computer science, advanced material science, and engineering. Hopefully, interdisciplinary collaborations between science and engineering technologists in the domains of academia and industry will be enhanced via this unique international network.

Currently, there is no official method for how to measure innovation in business. This is where Innovation Accounting comes in. This book helps businesses to develop their level of capability and performance within innovation and accounting. This guide provides examples of tools, templates, and frameworks that businesses can utilize to improve their business culture, inspire innovation, and find a way to measure innovation. In a world where numbers, statistics, and analytics are increasingly becoming the most important aspect of everyday business, this book can help to find meaning in innovative practices and measure them. This will allow you to demonstrate to stakeholders how capital is used, and the impact it has on the business. So whether you're managing a lean startup aiming to meet a particularly difficult to meet KPI, or a corporation aiming to replicate the level of success you achieved in your most recent financial quarter, this book will contain something for everyone.

Organizations report that as much as 50% of investments in IS and IT solutions are judged to be outright failures or deemed highly unsatisfactory. Information Systems Innovation and Diffusion: Issues and Directions reports on innovation and diffusion research and presents theory-based guidelines that will increase the business value of IS/IT investments.
