As organizations continue to move towards digital enterprise, the need for digital transformation continues to grow especially due to the COVID-19 pandemic. These impacts will last far into the future, as newer digital technologies continue to be accepted, used, and developed. These digital tools will forever change the face of business and management. However, on the road to digital enterprise transformation there are many successes, difficulties, challenges, and failures. Finding solutions for these issues through strategic thinking and identification of the core issues facing the enterprise is of primary concern. This means modernizing management and strategies around the digital workforce and understanding digital business at various levels. These key areas of digitalization and global challenges, such as those during or derived from the pandemic, are new and unique; They require new knowledge gained from a deep understanding of complex issues that have been examined and the solutions being discovered. Emerging Challenges, Solutions, and Best Practices for Digital Enterprise Transformation explores the key challenges being faced as businesses undergo digital transformation. It provides both solutions and best practices for not only handling and solving these key issues, but for becoming successful in digital enterprise. This includes topics such as security and privacy in technologies, data management, information and communication technologies, and digital marketing, branding, and commerce. This book is ideal for managers, business professionals, government, researchers, students, practitioners, stakeholders, academicians, and anyone else looking to learn about new developments in digital enterprise transformation of business systems from a global perspective.

This book addresses emerging issues concerning the integration of artificial intelligence systems in our daily lives. It focuses on the cognitive, visual, social and analytical aspects of computing and intelligent technologies, and highlights ways to improve the acceptance, effectiveness, and efficiency of said technologies. Topics such as responsibility, integration and training are discussed throughout. The book also reports on the latest advances in systems engineering, with a focus on societal challenges and next-generation systems and applications for meeting them. Further, it covers some cutting-edge issues in energy, including intelligent control systems for power plant, and technology acceptance models. Based on the AHFE 2021 Conferences on Human Factors in Software and Systems Engineering, Artificial Intelligence and Social Computing, and Energy, held virtually on 25–29 July, 2021, from USA, this book provides readers with extensive information on current research and future challenges in these fields, together with practical insights into the development of innovative services for various purposes.

This book focuses on open issues of Society 5.0, a new paradigm of a society, that balances a human-centred approach and technologies based on cyber-physical systems and artificial intelligence. The book contains results of how intelligent or cyber-solutions help to improve the quality of life in society despite new challenges. This book includes five sections. Section Society 5.0: Biomedicine and Healthcare present how cyber-physical systems help in healthcare, e.g. analysis of clinical data in pregnant women with hypertension, breast cancer diagnostics, healthy diet design and others. In the chapter, the problem of data analysis and optimization is considered. The second Section, Society 5.0: Human-centric Cyber-Solutions highlight new findings on constructing virtual reality simulators, training of workers on the basis of equipment's digital twins, development of human capital. Society 5.0: Socio-Economic Systems Modelling includes chapters concerning the application of quantum-like mathematical models for the analysis of socio-economic systems, indicative planning models for agriculture, approaches of assessing and monitoring competitiveness risks of regions. A section, Society 5.0: Industrial Cyber-Solutions provides new results on cyber-physical systems of Russian oil market, railway joint diagnostics, and information support for maintenance and repair of a machine-building cyber-physical system. The last section, Society 5.0: Cyber-Solutions Security consider interoperability issues of security, the video conferencing, and scaling networks. This book is directed to researchers, practitioners, engineers, software developers, professors and students. We do hope the book will be useful for them.

New technologies, innovative industry and digital revolution are changing today's world on an unprecedented scale. The changes touch all spheres of human existence creating the conditions for realising the vision of a better world and building a new society. This requires more and more openness, creativity and innovativeness in human thinking and activities, imply the need for changes in education. This is so as only education – the "treasure" also of the 21st century – can live up to the challenge as long, however, as it is universal, fully accessible, flexible, open, innovative and creative. Along the lines of this thesis, this volume presents different views on selected problems of education of teachers in different specialities, with the aim of making the basis for in-depth analyses and optimal solutions.

This book gathers selected high-quality research papers presented at the Eighth International Congress on Information and Communication Technology, held at Brunel University, London, on 20–23 February 2023. It discusses emerging topics pertaining to information and communication technology (ICT) for managerial applications, e-governance, e-agriculture, e-education and computing technologies, the Internet of Things (IoT) and e-mining. Written by respected experts and researchers working on ICT, the book offers a valuable asset for young researchers involved in advanced studies. The work is presented in four volumes.

In the dynamic environment of healthcare, the fusion of Computational Intelligence and Healthcare Industry 4.0 has enabled remarkable advancements in disease detection and analysis. However, a critical challenge persists – the limitations of current computational intelligence approaches in dealing with small sample sizes.
