Description & Coverage
Description:

As organizations, businesses, and other institutions work to move forward during a new era of ubiquitous modern technology, new computing and technology implementation strategies are necessary to harness the shared knowledge of individuals to advance their organizations as a whole.

Intelligent and Knowledge-Based Computing for Business and Organizational Advancements examines the emerging computing paradigm of Collective Intelligence (CI). The global contributions contained in this publication will prove to be essential to both researchers and practitioners in the computer and information science communities as these populations move toward a new period of fully technology-integrated business.

Coverage:

The many academic areas covered in this publication include, but are not limited to:

  • Artificial intelligence for organizational management
  • Collaboration and communication systems
  • Collective Intelligence
  • Decision Science
  • Genetic algorithms and evolutionary computing
  • Global enterprise systems
  • Intelligent agents and multi-agent systems
  • Knowledge Discovery
  • Self-organizing and complex systems
  • Soft computing in organizations

He received the Microsoft Research Grant in 2005. Dr. Sasaki is an Associate Professor of Computer Science at Ritsumeikan University in Kyoto, Japan. He has been tenured there since 2005. Prof. Sasaki received his BA, LLB from the University of Tokyo, Japan, LLM from University of Chicago Law School, MS (Hons) and PhD (Highest Hons) in Computer and Information Sciences in 1992, 1994, 1999, 2001, and 2003, respectively. In his graduate research, he won the title of Keio Engineering Society Fellow (2001). He has experience as a lawyer and in litigation as an Attorney-at-Law in New York since 1999.
Dickson K.W. Chiu received the BSc (Hons.) degree in Computer Studies from the University of Hong Kong in 1987. He received the MSc (1994) and the PhD (2000) degrees in Computer Science from the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST). He started his own computer company while studying part-time. He has also taught at several universities in Hong Kong. His research interest is in service computing with a cross-disciplinary approach, involving workflows, software engineering, information technologies, agents, information system management, security, and databases. The results have been widely published in over 120 papers in international journals and conference proceedings (most of them have been indexed by SCI, SCI-E, EI, and SSCI), including many practical master and undergraduate project results. He received a best paper award in the 37th Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences in 2004. He is the founding Editor-in-Chief of the International Journal of Systems and Service-Oriented Engineering and serves in the editorial boards of several international journals. He co-founded several international workshops and co-edited several journal special issues. He also served as a program committee member for over 70 international conferences and workshops. He is a Senior Member of both the ACM and the IEEE, and a life member of the Hong Kong Computer Society.
Epaminondas Kapetanios was born in Athens, Hellas, where he studied Statistics and Informatics at the University of Athens.
