      Digital Outcasts: Moving Technology Forward without Leaving People Behind, Second Edition explores how inclusive design is reshaping today’s technological and industrial landscape. This updated edition incorporates the latest legal and technological advancements, highlighting both the strides made and the challenges that remain. The book examines the real-life experiences of individuals often excluded by inaccessible products and services, such as those living with disabilities ranging from blindness and cognitive conditions to long-term illnesses and injuries. With digital access now vital for employment, education, healthcare, and social connection, the consequences of exclusion are far-reaching and increasingly urgent.The book emphasizes that, through grassroots innovation, many have begun to reclaim agency and transform their environments. It delves into the pivotal role disabled users have played in driving human-computer interaction forward, and uses case studies from law, healthcare, creative arts, and social science to illustrate how disability continues to be a powerful catalyst for design and progress.

      The smart city paradigm combines smart homes, smart healthcare, smart transportation, smart industry, smart environment, and smart energy to ensure sustainability, well-being and comfortable living within the urban environment for the city's citizens. IoT enables computational intelligence to leverage the power of data analytics, machine learning, and artificial intelligence to extract meaningful insights from the vast amount of data generated by IoT devices. This synergy empowers connected devices to collect, process, and analyze data in real-time, enabling informed decision-making and predictive insights. Through adaptive algorithms and edge computing, the system can autonomously respond to changing conditions, optimize resource usage, and enhance energy efficiency. Security and anomaly detection mechanisms ensure the integrity of the IoT network, while human-machine interaction capabilities, facilitated by natural language processing, enable intuitive communication. This convergence of computational intelligence and IoT not only transforms data into actionable knowledge but also fosters the development of autonomous, efficient, and adaptive systems across diverse domains, ranging from smart cities to healthcare and industrial applications. The integration of computational intelligence with IoT enhances the capabilities of connected systems, making them smarter, more efficient, and better equipped to handle the complexities of the modern world. Smart City Computational Paradigms describes the connections between these state-of-the-art technologies and provides a comprehensive overview for readers interested in advanced technologies, identifying mentioned challenges and proposed solutions as well as developed framework. It covers the underlying theory, design techniques, classification, taxonomy and analytical tools, focusing primarily on the real time applications, uncertainty solutions and approaches with hands-on demonstration for decision making outcomes.

      Digital twins integrate IoT, artificial intelligence, machine learning, and analytics with a graphic and/or spatial representation to make animate digital simulation models that can change and develop as their physical counterpart does. A digital twin learns and updates itself continuously using real-time data from sensors on the physical asset to represent operating, environmental, and working conditions in near real-time.The metaverse technology represents a comprehensive virtual world, where everything and everyone interacts similarly to what we would do in the real world. The concept of metaverse has gained a lot of prominence after several cryptocurrency networks adopted the technology. With the metaverse technology, a virtual reality becomes a persistent virtual environment that exists even when you are not engaging with it.The digital twin in IoT (Internet of things) and the metaverse are the next big step in our technological evolution as these two technologies continue to shorten the gap between the human and the digital world. MetaConstructs: The Evolution of Digital Twins in the Metaverse Era provides information on emerging fields of next-generation digital twins with a special emphasis on emerging developments and applications of the metaverse, IoT, artificial intelligence, deep learning techniques, virtual reality, augmented reality, internet of medical things (IoMT), optimization techniques, decision making, and cloud computing.The book provides a conceptual framework and roadmap for decision-makers for this transformation. It can be useful for undergraduate and postgraduate students who have studied artificial intelligence, federated learning, ML/DL, computational intelligence, IoT, cloud computing, and genetic algorithms in their academic curriculum. This book will be useful for students to develop and deploy their skills to achieve a thorough knowledge of analytics and in-depth education experience to focus on their unique interests. Acknowledging the huge demands of professionals in the industry today, this book has been designed to create trained Computer Science graduates to fulfil the requirements of the industry.

      The discipline of user experience (UX) design has matured into a confident practice and this edition reflects, and in some areas accelerates, that evolution. Technically this is the second edition of The UX Book, but so much of it is new, it is more like a sequel. One of the major positive trends in UX is the continued emphasis on design—a kind of design that highlights the designer’s creative skills and insights and embodies a synthesis of technology with usability, usefulness, aesthetics, and meaningfulness to the user. In this edition a new conceptual top-down design framework is introduced to help readers with this evolution. This entire edition is oriented toward an agile UX lifecycle process, explained in the funnel model of agile UX, as a better match to the now de facto standard agile approach to software engineering. To reflect these trends, even the subtitle of the book is changed to “Agile UX design for a quality user experience”. Designed as a how-to-do-it handbook and field guide for UX professionals and a textbook for aspiring students, the book is accompanied by in-class exercises and team projects. The approach is practical rather than formal or theoretical. The primary goal is still to imbue an understanding of what a good user experience is and how to achieve it. To better serve this, processes, methods, and techniques are introduced early to establish process-related concepts as context for discussion in later chapters.

      Universal UX Design: Building Multicultural User Experience provides an ideal guide as multicultural UX continues to emerge as a transdisciplinary field that, in addition to the traditional UI and corporate strategy concerns, includes socio/cultural and neurocognitive concerns that constitute one of the first steps in a truly global product strategy. In short, multicultural UX is no longer a nice-to-have in your overall UX strategy, it is now a must-have. This practical guide teaches readers about international concerns on the development of a uniquely branded, yet culturally appealing, software end-product. With hands-on examples throughout, readers will learn how to accurately predict user behavior, optimize layout and text elements, and integrate persuasive design in layout, as well as how to determine which strategies to communicate image and content more effectively, while demystifying the psychological and sociopolitical factors associated with culture. The book reviews the essentials of cognitive UI perception and how they are affected by socio-cultural conditioning, as well as how different cultural bias and expectations can work in UX design.
