Software Development VCE Units 3 & 4 is a complete revision of the highly respected text Building Information Systems VCE Units 3 & 4, rewritten by expert authors to meet the requirements of the revised Information Technology Study Design (2007 a 2010). This book is divided into 2 main sections. The first is an introduction to information systems engineering using the System Development Life Cycle (SDLC) and with a focus on networked systems. The second is an introduction to the development of software applications in a general purpose programming language (such as Visual C++, Java or Delphi) using the Software Development Life Cycle.

Applied Computing in Medicine and Health is a comprehensive presentation of on-going investigations into current applied computing challenges and advances, with a focus on a particular class of applications, primarily artificial intelligence methods and techniques in medicine and health. Applied computing is the use of practical computer science knowledge to enable use of the latest technology and techniques in a variety of different fields ranging from business to scientific research. One of the most important and relevant areas in applied computing is the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in health and medicine. Artificial intelligence in health and medicine (AIHM) is assuming the challenge of creating and distributing tools that can support medical doctors and specialists in new endeavors. The material included covers a wide variety of interdisciplinary perspectives concerning the theory and practice of applied computing in medicine, human biology, and health care. Particular attention is given to AI-based clinical decision-making, medical knowledge engineering, knowledge-based systems in medical education and research, intelligent medical information systems, intelligent databases, intelligent devices and instruments, medical AI tools, reasoning and metareasoning in medicine, and methodological, philosophical, ethical, and intelligent medical data analysis. - Discusses applications of artificial intelligence in medical data analysis and classifications - Provides an overview of mobile health and telemedicine with specific examples and case studies - Explains how behavioral intervention technologies use smart phones to support a patient centered approach - Covers the design and implementation of medical decision support systems in clinical practice using an applied case study approach

This book gathers the outcomes of the 7th International Conference on Applied Computing and Information Technology (ACIT 2019), which was held on May 29–31, 2019 in Honolulu, Hawaii. The aim of the conference was to bring together researchers and scientists, businesspeople and entrepreneurs, teachers, engineers, computer users, and students to discuss the various fields of computer science and to share their experiences and exchange new ideas and information in a meaningful way. Further, they presented research results on all aspects (theory, applications and tools) of computer and information science, and discussed the practical challenges encountered in their work and the solutions they adopted to overcome them. The book highlights the best papers from those accepted for presentation at the conference. They were chosen based on review scores submitted by members of the program committee and underwent further rigorous rounds of review. From this second round, 15 of the conference’s most promising papers were selected for this Springer (SCI) book and not the conference proceedings. We eagerly await the important contributions that we know these authors will make to the field of computer and information science.

The second edition of this introductory text includes an expanded treatment of collisions, agent-based models, and insight into underlying system dynamics. Lab assignments are accessible and carefully sequenced for maximum impact. Students are able to write their own code in building solutions and Python is used to minimize any language barrier for beginners. Problems involving visualization are emphasized throughout with interactive graphics, image files, and plots of generated data. This text aims to establish a core learning experience around which any number of other learning objectives could be included. The text is presented in eight chapters where each chapter contains three problems and each problem develops five specific lab assignments, plus additional questions and discussion. This approach seeks to leverage the immediate feedback provided by the computer to help students as they work toward writing code creatively. All labs will scale to available hardware and free software could be used for the entire course, if desired. Lab assignments have been used since 2011 at the #1 ranked U.S. high school. It is an ideal textbook for high school courses that prepare students for advanced placement tests.

This book presents the scientific outcome of the 5th International Conference on Applied Computing and Information Technology (ACIT 2017), which was held on July 9–13, 2017 in Hamamatsu, Japan. The aim of this conference was to bring together researchers and scientists, businessmen and entrepreneurs, teachers, engineers, computer users, and students to discuss the numerous fields of computer science, to share their experiences and to exchange new ideas and information in a meaningful way. The book includes research findings on all aspects (theory, applications and tools) of computer and information science, and discusses the practical challenges encountered along the way and the solutions adopted to solve them. This book features 12 of the conference’s most promising papers, written by authors who are expected to make important contributions to the field of computer and information science.

This book presents the selected results of the 1st International Symposium on Applied Computers and Information Technology (ACIT 2013) held on August 31 – September 4, 2013 in Matsue City, Japan, which brought together researchers, scientists, engineers, industry practitioners and students to discuss all aspects of Applied Computers & Information Technology and its practical challenges. This book includes the best 12 papers presented at the conference, which were chosen based on review scores submitted by members of the program committee and underwent further rigorous rounds of review.

A large international conference in Electrical Engineering and Applied Computing was just held in London, 30 June – 2 July, 2010. This volume will contain revised and extended research articles written by prominent researchers participating in the conference. Topics covered include Control Engineering, Network Management, Wireless Networks, Biotechnology, Signal Processing, Computational Intelligence, Data Mining, Computational Statistics, Internet Computing, High Performance Computing, and industrial applications. The book will offer the states of arts of tremendous advances in electrical engineering and applied computing and also serve as an excellent reference work for researchers and graduate students working on electrical engineering and applied computing
