This book includes the outcomes of the International Conference on Advanced Intelligent Systems for Sustainable Development (AI2SD-2018), held in Tangier, Morocco on July 12–14, 2018. Presenting the latest research in the field of computing sciences and information technology, it discusses new challenges and provides valuable insights into the field, the goal being to stimulate debate, and to promote closer interaction and interdisciplinary collaboration between researchers and practitioners. Though chiefly intended for researchers and practitioners in advanced information technology management and networking, the book will also be of interest to those engaged in emerging fields such as data science and analytics, big data, internet of things, smart networked systems, artificial intelligence, expert systems and cloud computing.

Offers a practical guide for improving schools dramatically that will enable all students from all backgrounds to achieve at high levels. Includes assessment forms, an index, and a DVD.

This is an open access book. As the process of social modernization continues to advance, people realize that the key to social modernization is the modernization of people, and the modernization of people is inseparable from the modernization of education. It can be seen that education modernization is the foundation of social modernization. Education modernization is an important reform direction of education development, including modernization of education concept, modernization of education content, modernization of education equipment, modernization of teachers and modernization of education management. And information management is one of the important methods to realize education modernization Information management is the social activity of planning, organizing, leading and controlling information resources by means of modern information technology in order to effectively develop and utilize information resources. Simply put, information management is the management of information resources and information activities by human beings. Information management is a general term for the information that people collect, process and input and output in the whole management process. The process of information management includes information collection, information transmission, information processing and information storage. Using the new generation of information management technology to enhance the digitalization, networking and intelligence of education management, promote the transformation of education decision-making from experience-driven to data-driven, education management from one-way management to collaborative governance, education service from passive response to active service, and support the modernization of education governance system and governance capacity with information technology. Focusing on education and information management with modernization, this conference provides a platform for scholars in related fields to exchange and share information, discuss how the two affect each other, and: Promote the modernization of education by studying certain educational issues that exist. Open up new perspectives, broaden horizons, and examine the issues under discussion by participants. Create a forum for sharing, research and exchange at an international level, where participants will be informed of the latest research directions, results and content in different fields, thus inspiring them to come up with new research ideas. For those who cannot attend the conference, papers in the social sciences and humanities will be accepted and published in the form of conference proceedings.

Progress in information technology has fostered a global explosion of data generation. Accumulated big data are now estimated to be 4.4 zettabytes in the digital universe; and trends predict an exponential increase in the future. Health data are gathered from professional routine care and other expanded sources including the social determinants of health, such as Internet of Things. Biomedical research has recently moved through three stages in digital healthcare: (1) data collection; (2) data sharing; and (3) data analytics. With the explosion of stored health data, dental medicine is edging into its fourth stage of digitization using new technologies including augmented and virtual reality, artificial intelligence, and blockchain. Big data collaborations involve interactions between a diverse range of stakeholders with analytical, technical and political focus. In oral healthcare, data technology has many areas of application: prognostic analysis and predictive modeling, the identification of unknown correlations of diseases, clinical decision support for novel treatment concepts, public health surveys and population-based clinical research, as well as the evaluation of healthcare systems. The objective of this Special Issue is to provide an update on the current knowledge with state-of-the-art theory and practical information on human and social perspectives that determine the uptake of technological innovations in big data science in the field of dental medicine. Moreover, it will focus on the identification of future research needs to manage the continuous increase in health data and to accomplish its clinical translation for patient-centered research and personalized dentistry. This Special Issue welcomes all types of studies and reviews considering the perspectives of different stakeholders on technological innovations for big data science in all dental disciplines.
