The economic and sociocultural significance of tourism today cannot be overstated. With the rapid growth of travel and tourism, more and more research is being undertaken in this field, with particular attention paid to the concept of sustainability. This book broadens the reach of such studies by providing comprehensive and rigorous examinations of many issues and concepts related to sustainable tourism, with particular attention paid to Slovenia. It considers the area broadly, and presents in-depth discussions on many relevant and important tourism issues, covering topics from the sustainable use of cultural heritage in tourism and the development of sustainable jobs and professionalism in the tourism sector to the aspects of systemic management and logistic planning for tourist destinations, as well as the contributions that local governments make towards sustainable development and use of local resources. The collection provides a unique and balanced view of both theoretical issues and practical cases and is a valuable reading for students, researchers and professionals in the field of tourism and sustainability.
Annotation The three-volume set LNAI 3213, LNAI 3214, and LNAI 3215 constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 8th International Conference on Knowledge-Based Intelligent Information and Engineering Systems, KES 2004, held in Wellington, New Zealand in September 2004. The over 450 papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from numerous submissions. The papers present a wealth of original research results from the field of intelligent information processing in the broadest sense; among the areas covered are artificial intelligence, computational intelligence, cognitive technologies, soft computing, data mining, knowledge processing, various new paradigms in biologically inspired computing, and applications in various domains like bioinformatics, finance, signal processing etc.
Conference held July 8-11, 2012, in Vilnius, Lithuania.
We were very pleased to once again extend to the delegates and, we are pleased to th say, our friends the warmest of welcomes to the 8 International Conference on Knowledge-Based Intelligent Information and Engineering Systems at Wellington - stitute of Technology in Wellington, New Zealand. The KES conferences attract a wide range of interest. The broad focus of the c- ference series is the theory and applications of computational intelligence and em- gent technologies. Once purely a research field, intelligent systems have advanced to the point where their abilities have been incorporated into many conventional appli- tion areas. The quest to encapsulate human knowledge and capabilities in...
The explosive growth of the Internet and the web have created an ever-growing demand for web-based information systems, and ever-growing challenges for Information Systems Engineering. Some of them include the emerging web services technology, database technologies and application integration, as well as data analysis and knowledge discovery. This book is a showcase of recent, significant advances in web-based information systems as well as data integration and analysis. It provides an overview of various technologies used for building innovative information systems applied to real business solutions. It includes eight chapters that are divided into five parts, namely: web services, database technologies, data and application integration, data analysis and knowledge discovery, and recommended bibliography. The material presented in these chapters will help the reader have an overall idea of the research that is being carried out in universities and companies to develop today's innovative business solutions. Contents: Preface; Web Services; Web Services Technologies for Outsourcing; Conceptual Modelling with Dynamic Object Roles; Temporal Versioning in Data Warehouse; Missing Inform
This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed short papers, workshops and Doctoral Consortium papers of the 20th East European Conference on Advances in Databases and Information Systems, ADBIS 2016, held in Prague, Czech Republic, in August 2016. The 11 short papers and one historical paper were carefully selected and reviewed from 85 submissions. The rest of papers was selected from reviewing processes of 2 workshops and Doctoral Consortium. The papers are organized in topical sections on ADBIS Short Papers, Third International Workshop on Big Data Applications and Principles (BigDap 2016), Second International Workshop on Data Centered Smart Applications (DCSA 2016) and ADBIS Doctoral Consortium.
Focuses on theoretical disciplines including cognitive science, artificial intelligence, logic, linguistics and analytical philosophy.
Annotation This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 24th European Conference on Object-Oriented Programming, ECOOP 2010, held in Maribor, Slovenia, in June 2010. The 24 revised full papers, presented together with one extended abstract were carefully reviewed and selected from a total of 108 submissions. The papers cover topics such as programming environments and tools, theoretical foundations of programming languages, formal methods, concurrency models in Java, empirical methods, type systems, language design and implementation, concurrency abstractions and experiences.
The 3rd Eastern European Conference on Advances in Databases and Information Systems (ADBIS’99) took place on 13-16- September 1999, in Maribor, Slovenia. It was organized in cooperation with ACM SIGMOD, the Moscow chapter of ACM SIGMOD, Slovenian Society Informatika, and the Slovenian Ministry of Technology. The aim of the ADBIS series of conferences is to provide a forum for the exchange of scientific achievements and experiences using innovative methods and approaches between the research communities of Central and Eastern Europe and the rest of the world in the area of databases and information systems. The 1999 conference continues the series of ADBIS events held in Moscow, St. Peters...
