This volume explores the latest computational breakthroughs in science and technology, investigating topics from artificial neural networks to fake news detection. The book will be of great use to researchers and scholars in science and engineering with an interest in computing.
Communities in Action
This volume shows how ICTs are a powerful resource for community action, including social change, learning, and development. It offers a platform for exchanging experiences, case studies, and solutions, helping readers grasp the complexities of social-technical relations.
First Generation Mainframes
This volume describes the IBM computer systems that influenced architecture in the 1950s and 1960s. These modular systems featured a common architecture for peripherals, the first operating systems, and groundbreaking software like the FORTRAN programming language.
I See Me, You See Me
This book showcases the state of the art in eye tracking research by bringing together work from a wide range of application areas. This peer-reviewed selection of chapters provides an overview of the latest research that will inspire and guide students and developers.
Information Technology Ethics
This book focuses on the ethical implications of human interactions with technology. By debating issues such as a law for robots and digital healthcare, this volume provides provocative insights to challenge readers to think critically and draw their own conclusions.
Information Visualisation
This volume reviews information visualisation, the art of transforming complex data into clear visuals. It explores techniques from medieval origins to modern 2D/3D rendering and evaluation methods, with examples from history, art, and science.
The Internet generates a vast, unstructured body of ‘grass-roots’ fictions. This collection explores this uncharted territory, bringing together expertise from linguistic, literary, media and cultural studies for passionate discussions of Internet Fictions.
Mainframe Computer Systems
This volume describes General Electric’s venture into mainframe computers. GE pioneered commercial timesharing, and its hardware was used to develop the BASIC language and the influential Multics system. Unable to compete with IBM, GE sold its computer division to Honeywell.
This volume presents research merging classical measurement theory with modern data science. Discover novel methods for superior measurement design, robust data evaluation, and efficient instrumentation implementations.
Next Generation Healthcare
This book explores how deep learning AI can solve healthcare’s challenges with fragmented data and security. It covers diverse applications from disease detection to EHR management and telemedicine, offering cutting-edge insights for researchers, practitioners, and policymakers.
This book is a precise and comprehensive history of the digital computer, tracing its roots and routes through the modern era. Though dealing with the history of technology in general, its central focus is the automatic digital program-controlled calculating devices of 1935-1945.
This book offers thought experiments exploring digital transformation’s disruptions to technology, knowledge, and human identity. The essays are “short cuts”—brief, bold excursions that challenge conventional paths and invite readers into uncertain yet revelatory terrain.
Simulation-based Medical Training
This volume explores the user-centred development of a Virtual Reality (VR) and web-based medical training system. It shows how a democratic arrangement between users and developers is beneficial, using prototypes to bridge the knowledge gap.
