The volume includes papers presented at the International KES Conference on Human Centred Intelligent Systems 2023 (KES HCIS 2023), held in Rome, Italy on June 14–16, 2023. This book highlights new trends and challenges in intelligent systems, which play an important part in the digital transformation of many areas of science and practice. It includes papers offering a deeper understanding of the human-centred perspective on artificial intelligence, of intelligent value co-creation, ethics, value-oriented digital models, transparency, and intelligent digital architectures and engineering to support digital services and intelligent systems, the transformation of structures in digital businesses and intelligent systems based on human practices, as well as the study of interaction and the co-adaptation of humans and systems.
Current advances in Artificial Intelligence (AI) combined with other digitalization efforts are changing the role of technology in service ecosystems. Human-centered intelligent systems and services are the target of many current digitalization efforts and part of a massive digital transformation based on digital technologies. Artificial intelligence, in particular, is having a powerful impact on new opportunities for shared value creation and the development of smart service ecosystems. Motivated by experiences and observations from digitalization projects, this paper presents new methodological experiences from academia and practice on a joint view of digital strategy and architecture of intelligent service ecosystems and explores the impact of digitalization based on real case study results. Digital enterprise architecture models serve as an integral representation of business, information, and technology perspectives of intelligent service-based enterprise systems to support management and development. This paper focuses on the novel aspect of closely aligned digital strategy and architecture models for intelligent service ecosystems and highlights the fundamental business mechanism of AI-based value creation, the corresponding digital architecture, and management models. We present key strategy-oriented architecture model perspectives for intelligent systems.
In today’s education, healthcare, and manufacturing sectors, organizations and information societies are discussing new enhancements to corporate structure and process efficiency using digital platforms. These enhancements can be achieved using digital tools. Industry 5.0 and Society 5.0 give several potentials for businesses to enhance the adaptability and efficacy of their industrial processes, paving the door for developing new business models facilitated by digital platforms. Society 5.0 can contribute to a super-intelligent society that includes the healthcare industry. In the past decade, the Internet of Things, Big Data Analytics, Neural Networks, Deep Learning, and Artificial Intelligence (AI) have revolutionized our approach to various job sectors, from manufacturing and finance to consumer products. AI is developing quickly and efficiently. We have heard of the latest artificial intelligence chatbot, ChatGPT. OpenAI created this, which has taken the internet by storm. We tested the effectiveness of a considerable language model referred to as ChatGPT on four critical questions concerning “Society 5.0”, “Healthcare 5.0”, “Industry,” and “Future Education” from the perspectives of Age 5.0.
Enterprises and societies currently face essential challenges, and digital transformation can contribute to their resolution. Enterprise architecture (EA) is useful for promoting digital transformation in global companies and information societies covering ecosystem partners. The advancement of new business models can be promoted with digital platforms and architectures for Industry 4.0 and Society 5.0. Therefore, products from the sector of healthcare, manufacturing and energy, etc. can increase in value. The adaptive integrated digital architecture framework (AIDAF) for Industry 4.0 and the design thinking approach is expected to promote and implement the digital platforms and digital products for healthcare, manufacturing and energy communities more efficiently. In this paper, we propose various cases of digital transformation where digital platforms and products are designed and evaluated for digital IT, digital manufacturing and digital healthcare with Industry 4.0 and Society 5.0. The vision of AIDAF applications to perform digital transformation in global companies is explained and referenced, extended toward the digitalized ecosystems such as Society 5.0 and Industry 4.0.
This book examines the implementation of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) in East Africa. The BRI is considered China's central geopolitical and geo-economic project in the era of President Xi Jinping. Through this work, the author aims to contribute to filling some research gaps, such as the lack of depth in studies of individual BRI projects and the underconsideration of processing narratives in participating countries. The guiding question is the extent to which the BRI is a political or hegemonic project of the CCP-directed state-civil society complex in East Africa. To answer these questions, databases of international organizations and policy documents are analyzed. In addition, the author conducts a qualitative content analysis of newspaper articles from local media houses in the countries of Ethiopia, Kenya, and Tanzania to examine three infrastructure projects. The work illustrates that the BRI contributes to increasing connectivity in East Africa. At the same time, the compression of economic relations and the implementation of infrastructure projects in East Africa lead to numerous consequences and contour a hegemonic project.
In today's business landscape, companies compete more and more as integrated supply chains rather than as individual firms. The success of the entire supply chain determines the economic well-being of each company involved. With management attention shifting to supply chains, the role of management accounting naturally must extend to the cross-company layer as well. This book demonstrates how management accounting can make a significant contribution to supply chain success. It targets students who are already familiar with the fundamentals of accounting and want to extend their expertise in the field of cross-company (or network) management accounting. Practitioners will draw valuable insights from the text as well.
This second edition includes a new chapter on Digitalization and Supply Chain Accounting, as well as new opener cases to each chapter that provide real-world examples.
Delphi Markets
(2023)
Delphi markets refer to approaches and implementations of integrating prediction markets and Delphi studies (Real-time Delphi). The combination of the two methods for producing forecasts can potentially compensate for each other´s weaknesses. For example, prediction markets can be used to select participants with expertise and also motivate long-term participation through their gamified approach and incentive mechanisms. In this paper, two potentials for prediction markets and four potentials for Delphi studies, which are made possible by integration, are derived theoretically. Subsequently, three different integration approaches are presented, on the basis of which the integration on user, market and Delphi question-level is exemplified and it is shown that, depending on the approach, not all potentials can be achieved. At the end, recommendations for the use of Delphi markets are derived, existing limitations for Delphi markets as well as future developments are pointed out.
There have been substantial research efforts for algorithms to improve continuous and automated assessment of various health-related questions in recent years. This paper addresses the deployment gap between those improving algorithms and their usability in care and mobile health applications. In practice, most algorithms require significant and founded technical knowledge to be deployed at home or support healthcare professionals. Therefore, the digital participation of persons in need of health care professionals lacks a usable interface to use the current technological advances. In this paper, we propose applying algorithms taken from research as web-based microservices following the common approach of a RESTful service to bridge the gap and make algorithms accessible to caregivers and patients without technical knowledge and extended hardware capabilities. We address implementation details, interpretation and realization of guidelines, and privacy concerns using our self-implemented example. Also, we address further usability guidelines and our approach to those.
In many cases continuous monitoring of vital signals is required and low intrusiveness is an important requirement. Incorporating monitoring systems in the hospital or home bed could have benefits for patients and caregivers. The objective of this work is the definition of a measurement protocol and the creation of a data set of measurements using commercial and low-cost prototypes devices to estimate heart rate and breathing rate. The experimental data will be used to compare results achieved by the devices and to develop algorithms for feature extraction of vital signals.
The digital twin concept has been widely known for asset monitoring in the industry for a long time. A clear example is the automotive industry. Recently, there has also been significant interest in the application of digital twins in healthcare, especially in genomics in what is known as precision medicine. This work focuses on another medical speciality where digital twins can be applied, sleep medicine. However, there is still great controversy about the fundamentals that constitute digital twins, such as what this concept is based on and how it can be included in healthcare effectively and sustainably. This article reviews digital twins and their role so far in what is known as personalized medicine. In addition, a series of steps will be exposed for a possible implementation of a digital twin for a patient suffering from sleep disorders. For this, artificial intelligence techniques, clinical data management, and possible solutions for explaining the results derived from artificial intelligence models will be addressed.
