This book gathers the proceedings of the Sixth International Conference on Computational Science and Technology 2019 (ICCST2019), held in Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia, on 29–30 August 2019. The respective contributions offer practitioners and researchers a range of new computational techniques and solutions, identify emerging issues, and outline future research directions, while also showing them how to apply the latest large-scale, high-performance computational methods.

This book constitutes the proceedings of the 21st European Conference on Advances in Databases and Information Systems, ADBIS 2017, held in Nicosia, Cyprus, in September 2017. The 26 regular papers presented together with one keynote paper and one keynote abstract were carefully selected and reviewed from numerous submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections such as conceptual modeling and human factors; subsequence matching and streaming data; OLAP; graph databases; spatial data management; parallel and distributed data processing; query optimization, recovery, and databases on modern hardware; semantic data processing; and additional database and information systems topics.

Conventional computational methods, and even the latest soft computing paradigms, often fall short in their ability to offer solutions to many real-world problems due to uncertainty, imprecision, and circumstantial data. Hybrid intelligent computing is a paradigm that addresses these issues to a considerable extent. The Handbook of Research on Advanced Hybrid Intelligent Techniques and Applications highlights the latest research on various issues relating to the hybridization of artificial intelligence, practical applications, and best methods for implementation. Focusing on key interdisciplinary computational intelligence research dealing with soft computing techniques, pattern mining, data analysis, and computer vision, this book is relevant to the research needs of academics, IT specialists, and graduate-level students.

The constant advancements of wireless technologies have influenced modern business practices as well as social interaction. As a result, the continuing study of communications and networking is important to better understand existing modes of information transfer, as well as developing and managing new methods. Advancements and Innovations in Wireless Communications and Network Technologies is a collection of research and case studies which tackle the issues, advancements and techniques on wireless communications and network technologies. This book offers expansive knowledge and different perspectives useful for researchers and students alike.

The past 50 years have witnessed a revolution in computing and related communications technologies. The contributions of industry and university researchers to this revolution are manifest; less widely recognized is the major role the federal government played in launching the computing revolution and sustaining its momentum. Funding a Revolution examines the history of computing since World War II to elucidate the federal government's role in funding computing research, supporting the education of computer scientists and engineers, and equipping university research labs. It reviews the economic rationale for government support of research, characterizes federal support for computing research, and summarizes key historical advances in which government-sponsored research played an important role. Funding a Revolution contains a series of case studies in relational databases, the Internet, theoretical computer science, artificial intelligence, and virtual reality that demonstrate the complex interactions among government, universities, and industry that have driven the field. It offers a series of lessons that identify factors contributing to the success of the nation's computing enterprise and the government's role within it.
