Most approaches that contribute to the design of life-critical systems almost only consider nominal situations where procedures can be developed and used to achieve satisfactory operations.
Over the past fifteen years or so, there has been a widespread and increasing fascination with the theme of mobility across the social sciences and humanities.
Taking an integrated, systems approach to dealing exclusively with the human performance issues encountered on the flight deck of the modern airliner, this book describes the inter-relationships between the various application areas of human factors, recognising that the human contribution to the operation of an airliner does not fall into neat pigeonholes.
Many contemporary business models are now completely based on the idea of a circular economy or sustainability, where they extensively use technology to save resources, become more efficient, and leave a smaller carbon footprint on the planet.
This book highlights various evolutionary algorithm techniques for various medical conditions and introduces medical applications of evolutionary computation for real-time diagnosis.
Since computer scientists make decisions every day that have societal context and influence, an understanding of society and computing together should be integrated into computer science education.
