Interdependent Human-Machine Teams: The Path to Autonomy examines the foundations, metrics, and applications of human-machine systems, the legal ramifications of autonomy, trust by the public, and trust by the users and AI systems of their users, integrating concepts from various disciplines such as AI, machine learning, social sciences, quantum mechanics, and systems engineering. In this book, world-class researchers, engineers, ethicists, and social scientists discuss what machines, humans, and systems should discuss with each other, to policymakers, and to the public.It establishes the meaning and operation of “shared contexts” between humans and machines, policy makers, and the public and explores how human-machine systems affect targeted audiences (researchers, machines, robots, users, regulators, etc.) and society, as well as future ecosystems composed of humans, machines, and systems.

Fixed Point Optimization Algorithms and Their Applications discusses how the relationship between fixed point algorithms and optimization problems is connected and demonstrates hands-on applications of the algorithms in fields such as image restoration, signal recovery, and machine learning. The author presents algorithms for non-expansive and generalized non-expansive mappings in Hilbert space, and includes solutions to many optimization problems across a range of scientific research and real-world applications. From foundational concepts, the book proceeds to present a variety of optimization algorithms, including fixed point theories, convergence theorems, variational inequality problems, minimization problems, split feasibility problems, variational inclusion problems, and equilibrium problems.This book will equip readers with the theoretical mathematics background and necessary tools to tackle challenging optimization problems involving a range of algebraic methods, empowering them to apply these techniques in their research, professional work, or academic pursuits.

Data from sensor networks via the smart hospital framework is comprised of three main layers: data, insight and access. Medical data is collected in real-time from an array of intelligent devices/systems deployed within the hospital. This data offers insight from the analytics or machine learning software that is accessible to healthcare staff via a smartphone or mobile device to facilitate swifter decisions and greater efficiency. Sensor Networks for Smart Hospitals, together with companion volume Advanced Sensors for Smart Healthcare, shows how the use of sensors to gather data on a patient's condition and the environment in which their care takes place can allow healthcare professionals to monitor their well-being and make informed decisions about their treatment. Written by experts in the field, Sensor Networks for Smart Hospitals is an invaluable resource for researchers and healthcare practitioners in their drive to use technology to improve the lives of patients.

Mined Individuals in Large Networks presents an overview of one century of research analyzing the growth of networks in our individualist societies, including methods from computer science to address questions within social sciences. The book shows how, with huge data sets, it is possible to gather vast amounts of information on individuals from large scale and social networks. At stake is the ability for the citizens to keep a grip on the social changes evolving around networking. The public concern about massive online surveillance shows the need for tools and methods that would not be only in the hands of some powerful happy few. Now that social network analysis is done by more computer scientists than social scientists, it is essential to remember the social implications of algorithms when they are applied to human beings.

Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis: Stepwise Approach for Medical and Biomedical Researchers presents a step-by-step approach to develop systematic reviews and meta-analysis for biomedical and medical research. Systematic reviews are the highest quality evidence in medical research, providing an answer to a specific question, and they can be developed in the form of comprehensive literature search, critical appraisal, and synthesis of the evidence. Systematic reviews and meta-analysis are key elements of evidence-based medicine by summarizing the results of previous studies with the use of specific and reliable methods.Initially, systematic review and meta-analysis were exclusive to clinical trials, however systematic reviews of observational and diagnostic studies have expanded, making it essential for members of the field to master those techniques. This practical reference is a valuable resource for biostaticians, researchers, students, and members of medical and biomedical fields who need to understand more about systematic reviews and meta-analysis in their research work.
