Satellite communication technology is indispensable for land and maritime communications as well as broadcasting. This textbook explains the basic technologies required in understanding satellite communications.

This work covers the challenges facing the widespread implementation of information technology, possible solutions to economic, structural, cultural, and institutional barriers in the use of these technologies.

The implementation of hub-and-spoke networks in intermodal transport is suggested as one of the potential solutions for helping to increase the intermodal market share. Traditionally, trains are shunted at hubs; this is a time-consuming process. Since the early 1990's a new type of intermodal terminal, specifically designed for fast transshipment at nodes in hub-and-spoke networks, has been introduced in Europe. These hub terminals could replace this time-consuming shunting. Studies on the new hub terminals suggest that they may perform more efficiently than shunting yards. However, a systematic comparison to reveal the operational and costs differences between shunting and these new hub-terminals for a broad range of situations still lacks.The main objective of the study was to develop a model to identify favourable operational conditions for new hub terminals to be implemented and to quantify their operational performances in relation to alternative hub exchange facilities. Simulation models were developed to study rail-rail exchange operations at new hub-terminals, hump and flat shuntings yard and road-rail terminals.

Talks about Logic Programming, Uncertainty Reasoning and Machine Learning. This book includes definitions that circumscribe the area formed by extending Inductive Logic Programming to cases annotated with probability values. It investigates the approach of Learning from proofs and the issue of upgrading Fisher Kernels to Relational Fisher Kernels.

Covers developments from philosophy, artificial intelligence and information systems to formulate a collection of functional requirements for ontology development. This book looks at several ontology representation languages to show how they support the functional requirements, what deficiencies there are, and how they relate to each other.

This publication is linked to the "Nightingale Project" which began in January 1996, and is central in planning and implementation of strategy in training in the nursing profession in using and applying healthcare information systems.

Bridging the Information Gap. Imagining the healthcare of the future is an interesting exercise, and although nobody can predict precisely what systems might operate in ten years time, the possibilities which already exist can give us a clue as to how healthcare may be managed by 2030.This book presents papers from the conference Healthcare of the Future, held in Biel/Bienne, Switzerland, on 5 April 2019. The conference reflects some of the results of a two year multi-stakeholder Swiss research program in medical informatics. The research program, which began in 2016, saw 25 stakeholders cooperating for an integrated cross-sectoral

Proceedings of the EFMI 2019 Special Topic Conference. Information and Communications Technology ICT is used in healthcare and health science research in application domains such as clinical trials and the development of drug and medical devices, as well as in translational medicine, with the aim of improving prevention, diagnosis, and interventions in health and care.This book presents accepted papers from the 2019 European Federation of Medical Informatics conference EFMI STC 2019, held in Hanover, Germany, from 710 April 2019. More than 90 submissions were received, from which, after review, the Scientific

Essays in honor of Nicola Guarino. Nicola Guarino is widely recognized as one of the founders of applied ontology. His deep interest in the subtlest details of theoretical analysis and his vision of ontology as the Rosetta Stone for semantic interoperability guided the development and understanding of this domain. His motivations in research stem from the conviction that all science must be for the benefit of society at large, and his motto has always been that ontologies are not just for making information systems interoperable, but more importantly for ensuring that systems users understand each other. He was among the first
