This book describes current and potential use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Computational Intelligence (CI) techniques in biomedicine and other application areas. Medical applications range from general diagnostics to processing of X-ray images to e-medicine-related privacy issues. Medical community understandably prefers methods that have been successful other on other application areas, where possible mistakes are not that critical. This book describes many promising methods related to Deep Learning, fuzzy techniques, knowledge graphs, and Quantum Computing. In some cases, the existing Computational Intelligence techniques—often, after creative modifications—can be efficiently used in biomedical applications. However, biomedical problems are difficult. As a result, in many situations, the existing computational intelligence techniques are not sufficient to solve the corresponding problems. In such situations, we need to develop new techniques—and, ideally, first show their efficiency on other applications, to make sure that these techniques are indeed efficient. The fact that these techniques are efficient in so many different areas makes us hope that they will be useful in biomedical applications as well.

The aim of this book was to bring together researchers and scientists, engineers, computer users, and students to discuss the numerous fields of Computer Science and to share their experiences and exchange new ideas and information in a meaningful way. Research results about all aspects (theory, applications and tools) of computer and information science, and to discuss the practical challenges encountered along the way and the solutions adopted to solve them. Symmetric-key cryptography is used widely due to its capability to provide a strong defense against diverse attacks; however, it is prone to cryptanalysis attacks. Therefore, we propose a novel and highly secure symmetric-key cryptography, symKrypt for short, to defend against diverse attacks and provide tighter security than the conventional cryptography. Our proposed algorithm uses multiple private keys to encrypt a single block of a message.

This handbook distils the wealth of expertise and knowledge from a large community of researchers and industrial practitioners in Software Product Lines (SPLs) gained through extensive and rigorous theoretical, empirical, and applied research. It is a timely compilation of well-established and cutting-edge approaches that can be leveraged by those facing the prevailing and daunting challenge of re-engineering their systems into SPLs. The selection of chapters provides readers with a wide and diverse perspective that reflects the complementary and varied expertise of the chapter authors. This perspective covers the re-engineering processes, from planning to execution. SPLs are families of systems that share common assets, allowing a disciplined software reuse. The adoption of SPL practices has shown to enable significant technical and economic benefits for the companies that employ them.

This textbook is intended as a guide for programming-language designers and users to better help them understand consequences of design decisions. The text aims to provide readers with an overview of the design space for programming languages and how design choices affect implementation. It is not a classical compilers book, as it assumes the reader is familiar with basic compiler implementation techniques; nor is it a traditional comparative programming languages book, because it does not go into depth about any particular language, instead taking examples from a wide variety of programming languages to illustrate design concepts. Exceptionally comprehensive in approach, this book explores the major issues in both design and implementation of modern programming languages and provides a basic introduction to the underlying theoretical models on which these languages are based. The emphasis throughout is on fundamental concepts—readers learn important ideas, not minor language differences--but several languages are highlighted in sufficient detail to enable readers to write programs that demonstrate the relationship between a source program and its execution behavior--e.g., C, C++, JAVA, ML, LISP, Prolog, Smalltalk, Postscript, HTML, PERL, FORTRAN, Ada, COBOL, BASIC SNOBOL4, PL/I, Pascal.

This book goes into a detailed investigation of adapting artificial neural network (ANN) and structural equation modeling (SEM) techniques in marketing and consumer research. The aim of using a dual-stage SEM and ANN approach is to obtain linear and non-compensated relationships because the ANN method captures non-compensated relationships based on the black box technology of artificial intelligence. Hence, the ANN approach validates the results of the SEM method. In addition, such the novel emerging approach increases the validity of the prediction by determining the importance of the variables. Consequently, the number of studies using SEM-ANN has increased, but the different types of study cases that show customization of different processes in ANNs method combination with SEM are still unknown, and this aspect will be affecting to the generation results. Thus, there is a need for further investigation in marketing and consumer research. This book bridges the significant gap in this research area.

Statistical modeling has a wide range of applications, and, depending on the application, the theoretical aspects may be weighted differently: here the main focus is on prediction rather than explanation. Starting with a presentation of state-of-the-art actuarial models, such as generalized linear models, the book then dives into modern Machine Learning tools such as neural networks and text recognition to improve predictive modeling with complex features. In the sequel, we introduce Deep Learning models. In this chapter these Deep Learning models will be based on fully-connected feed-forward neural networks. We present these networks as an extension of Generalized Linear Models (GLMs). These networks perform feature engineering themselves. We discuss how networks achieve this, and we explain how networks are used for predictive modeling. There is a vastly growing literature on Deep Learning with networks, the classical reference is the book of Goodfellow et al., but also the numerous tutorials around the open-source Deep Learning libraries TensorFlow, Keras or PyTorch give an excellent overview of the state-of-the-art in this field.
