This book contains the research contributions presented at the 14th International Conference on Computing and Information Technology (IC2IT 2018) organised by King Mongkut’s University of Technology North Bangkok and its partners, and held in the northern Thai city of Chiang Mai in July 2018. Traditionally, IC2IT 2018 provides a forum for exchange on the state of the art and on expected future developments in its field. Correspondingly, this book contains chapters on topics in data mining, machine learning, natural language processing, image processing, networks and security, software engineering and information technology. With them, the editors want to foster inspiring discussions among colleagues, not only during the conference. It is also intended to contribute to a deeper understanding of the underlying problems as needed to solve them in complex environments and, beneficial for this purpose, to encourage interdisciplinary cooperation.

This book includes selected contributions related to big data and data networking, presented at the 13th International Conference on Computing and Information Technology (IC2IT), which was held at the Arnoma Grand Hotel Bangkok, Thailand, July 6–7, 2017. The aim of the conference was to present emerging algorithms, methods and technologies with a high degree of originality, novelty and innovation addressing the conference theme `Mastering Data and Networking’. Section 1 and 2 discuss various aspects of data mining and corresponding applications. Section 3 focuses on speed and overhead networking optimisation problems, as well as energy problems of autonomous systems, which are becoming increasingly important. The key to addressing these problems is properly determining critical parameters. Section 4 sheds light on natural language processing, including extraction of trends and popularity and recognition of emotions as well as classic topics such as detection and classification.

This book gathers the proceedings of the 16th International Conference on Computing and Information Technology (IC2IT 2020), held on May 14th–15th, 2020, at Dusit Thani Pattaya, Thailand. The topics covered include big data, artificial intelligence, machine learning, natural language processing, speech recognition, image and video processing, and deep learning. In turn, the topics represent major research and engineering directions for autonomous driving, language assistants, automatic translation, and answering systems. Lastly, they are responses to major economic changes around the world, which are increasingly shaped by the need for enhanced globalization and worldwide cooperation, and by emerging global problems.

This book contains the proceedings of the 17th International Conference on Computing and Information Technology (IC2IT2021) that was held during May 13–14, 2021, in Bangkok, Thailand. The research contributions include machine learning, natural language processing, image processing, intelligent systems and algorithms, as well as network and cloud computing. These lead to the major research directions for emerging information technology and innovation, reflecting digital disruption in the world.

The book, gathering the proceedings of the Future of Information and Communication Conference (FICC) 2018, is a remarkable collection of chapters covering a wide range of topics in areas of information and communication technologies and their applications to the real world. It includes 104 papers and posters by pioneering academic researchers, scientists, industrial engineers, and students from all around the world, which contribute to our understanding of relevant trends of current research on communication, data science, ambient intelligence, networking, computing, security and Internet of Things. This book collects state of the art chapters on all aspects of information science and communication technologies, from classical to intelligent, and covers both theory and applications of the latest technologies and methodologies. Presenting state-of-the-art intelligent methods and techniques for solving real-world problems along with a vision of the future research, this book is an interesting and useful resource.

This book presents the latest research on computer recognition systems. Over the last few years, computer scientists, engineers and users have been confronted with rapid changes in computer interfaces and in the abilities of the machines and the services available. And this is just the beginning: based on recent research findings, we can expect more significant advances and challenges in the next decade. Achievements in the area of artificial intelligence have made an important major contribution to these developments: Machine learning, natural language processing, speech recognition, image and video processing are just some of the major research and engineering directions that have made autonomous driving, language assistants, automatic translation and answering systems as well as other innovative applications such as more human-oriented interfaces possible. Those developments also reflect economic changes in the world, which are increasingly dominated by the needs of enhanced globalization, international cooperation (including its competitive aspects) and emerging global problems.

This book includes the best works presented at the scientific and practical conference that took place on February 1, 2018 in Pyatigorsk, Russia on the topic “Perspectives on the use of New Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in the Modern Economy”. The conference was organized by the Institute of Scientific Communications (Volgograd, Russia), the Center for Marketing Initiatives (Stavropol, Russia), and Pyatigorsk State University (Pyatigorsk, Russia). The book present the results of research on the complex new information and communication technologies in the modern economy and law as well as research that explore limits of and opportunities for their usage. The target audience of this book includes undergraduates and postgraduates, university lecturers, experts, and researchers studying various issues concerning the use of new information and communication technologies in modern economies. The book includes research on the following current topics in modern economic science: new challenges and opportunities for establishing information economies under the influence of scientific and technical advances, digital economy as a new vector of development of the modern global economy, economic and legal aspects of using new information and communication technologies in developed and developing countries, priorities of using the new information and communication technologies in modern economies, platforms of communication integration in tourism using new information and communication technologies, and economic and legal managerial aspects and peculiarities of scientific research on the information society.
