Managing Copyright brings together prominent contributors in a collection of academic papers as well as business oriented reports which encompasses our current knowledge in the field of collective management of authors’ and related rights. This volume, published in cooperation with the Association littéraire et artistique internationale, is an output of the 2019 ALAI Congress held in Prague where scholars and practitioners met to discuss outstanding issues related to collective management. In the book, the reader finds large studies by well-known copyright scholars (Gervais, Drexl, Nérisson, Synodinou, Ficsor, Axhamn and others) and reports on every issue in this highly dynamic field of ...
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 9th International Joint Conference on E-Business and Telecommunications, ICETE 2012, held in Rome, Italy, in July 2012. ICETE is a joint international conference integrating four major areas of knowledge that are divided into six corresponding conferences: International Conference on Data Communication Networking, DCNET; International Conference on E-Business, ICE-B; International Conference on Optical Communication Systems, OPTICS; International Conference on Security and Cryptography, SECRYPT; International Conference on Wireless Information Systems, WINSYS; and International Conference on Signal Processing and Multimedia, SIGMAP. The 18 full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 403 submissions. They cover a wide range of topics in the key areas of e-business and telecommunications.
In recent years, many technologies for gait and posture assessments have emerged. Wearable sensors, active and passive in-house monitors, and many combinations thereof all promise to provide accurate measures of physical activity, gait, and posture parameters. Motivated by market projections for wearable technologies and driven by recent technological innovations in wearable sensors (MEMs, electronic textiles, wireless communications, etc.), wearable health/performance research is growing rapidly and has the potential to transform future healthcare from disease treatment to disease prevention. The objective of this Special Issue is to address and disseminate the latest gait, posture, and activity monitoring systems as well as various mathematical models/methods that characterize mobility functions. This Special Issue focuses on wearable monitoring systems and physical sensors, and its mathematical models can be utilized in varied environments under varied conditions to monitor health and performance

Assistive Technology (AT) is an umbrella term indicating any product or technology-based service that enables people of all ages with activity limitations in their daily life, education, work or leisure. It is a highly interdisciplinary field, encompassing research, development, manufacture, supply, provision and policy. This book presents the proceedings of the 12th biennial European conference of the Association for the Advancement of Assistive Technology in Europe, AAATE 2013, held in Vilamoura, Portugal, in September 2013. The full papers included here cover a diverse range of subjects, including: ageing, disability and technology; accessibility in Europe; ambient assisted living; AT and Cloud computing; communication access for all; monitoring and telecare; and user perspective, to name but a few. The aim of the AAATE conference is to promote a more effective dialogue between manufacturers, researchers, developers, professionals and end users, and this book will be of interest to all those directly or indirectly involved in the field of AT.
It is my great pleasure to introduce this special issue of LNSV comprising the sci- tific publications presented at ehealth 2009: The second Congress on Electronic Healthcare for the 21st Century, which took place in Istanbul, Turkey during September 23–25, 2009. Building on the first ehealth 2008 congress held in London, UK, the key topic of ehealth 2009 was investigating a realistic potential of the Internet in providing e- dence-based healthcare information and education to patients and global users. The proudly defined aim of ehealth 2009 –– bringing together the three medical sectors: academia, industry and global healthcare institutions –– was met and made the c- gress a trul...
This book presents new research contributions in the above-mentioned fields. Information and communication technologies (ICT) have an integral role in today’s society. Four major driving pillars in the field are computing, which nowadays enables data processing in unprecedented speeds, informatics, which derives information stemming for processed data to feed relevant applications, networking, which interconnects the various computing infrastructures and cybersecurity for addressing the growing concern for secure and lawful use of the ICT infrastructure and services. Its intended readership covers senior undergraduate and graduate students in Computer Science and Engineering and Electrical Engineering, as well as researchers, scientists, engineers, ICT managers, working in the relevant fields and industries.
This book presents the proceedings of the 6th International Conference on Wireless Intelligent and Distributed Environment for Communication (WIDECOM 2023), which took place at Brock University, St. Catharines, Ontario, Canada, October 11-13, 2023. The book addresses issues related to new dependability paradigms, design, and performance of dependable network computing and mobile systems, as well as issues related to the security of these systems. The goal of the conference is to provide a forum for researchers, students, scientists and engineers working in academia and industry to share their experiences, new ideas and research results in the above-mentioned areas.
