Proceedings of the Future Technologies Conference (FTC) 2022, Volume 2
The seventh Future Technologies Conference 2022 was organized in a hybrid mode. It received a total of 511 submissions from learned scholars, academicians, engineers, scientists and students across many countries. The papers included the wide arena of studies like Computing, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Vision, Ambient Intelligence and Security and their jaw- breaking application to the real world. After a double-blind peer review process 177 submissions have been selected to be included in these proceedings. One of the prominent contributions of this conference is the confluence of distinguished researchers who not only enthralled us by their priceless studies but also paved way for future area of research. The papers provide amicable solutions to many vexing problems across diverse fields. They also are a window to the future world which is completely governed by technology and its multiple applications. We hope that the readers find this volume interesting and inspiring and render their enthusiastic support towards it.
Scenes of Attention
Are we paying enough attention? At least since the nineteenth century, critics have alleged a widespread and profound failure of attentiveness—to others, to ourselves, to the world around us, to what is truly worthy of focus. Why is there such great anxiety over attention? What is at stake in understanding attention and the challenges it faces? This book investigates attention from a range of disciplinary perspectives, including philosophy, history, anthropology, art history, and comparative literature. Each chapter begins with a concrete scene whose protagonists are trying—and often failing—to attend. Authors examine key moments in the history of the study of attention; pose attention...
Proceedings of the Future Technologies Conference (FTC) 2021, Volume 3
This book provides the state-of-the-art intelligent methods and techniques for solving real world problems along with a vision of the future research. The sixth Future Technologies Conference 2021 was organized virtually and received a total of 531 submissions from academic pioneering researchers, scientists, industrial engineers, and students from all over the world. The submitted papers covered a wide range of important topics including but not limited to technology trends, computing, artificial intelligence, machine vision, communication, security, e-learning and ambient intelligence and their applications to the real world. After a double-blind peer-reviewed process, 191 submissions have been selected to be included in these proceedings. One of the meaningful and valuable dimensions of this conference is the way it brings together a large group of technology geniuses in one venue to not only present breakthrough research in future technologies but also to promote discussions and debate of relevant issues, challenges, opportunities, and research findings. We hope that readers find the volume interesting, exciting, and inspiring.
Human-Computer Interaction – INTERACT 2015

Superpower?
Super strength, super hearing, super vision and super connection. Wearable technology may soon give humans superpowers. Imagine being able to run without getting tired. Or travel to the moon to observe Earth for science class. The technologies that could make these things possible are mixing into our lives faster than we realize. The stakes are high. In Superpower?: The Wearable-Tech Revolution, young readers will discover how technological innovation can help people survive and thrive. But what if super strength results in endless work? What if hackers can read our thoughts? What if living in a virtual world affects our humanity? The book asks readers to question the pros and cons of technology and consider if innovation can go too far. Meet the inventors, designers, engineers, scientists and young people navigating the next tech frontier.
Cognitive Robotics
The current state of the art in cognitive robotics, covering the challenges of building AI-powered intelligent robots inspired by natural cognitive systems. A novel approach to building AI-powered intelligent robots takes inspiration from the way natural cognitive systems—in humans, animals, and biological systems—develop intelligence by exploiting the full power of interactions between body and brain, the physical and social environment in which they live, and phylogenetic, developmental, and learning dynamics. This volume reports on the current state of the art in cognitive robotics, offering the first comprehensive coverage of building robots inspired by natural cognitive systems. Con...
Ethics of Digital Well-Being
This book brings together international experts from a wide variety of disciplines, in order to understand the impact that digital technologies have had on our well-being as well as our understanding of what it means to live a life that is good for us. The multidisciplinary perspective that this collection offers demonstrates the breadth and importance of these discussions, and represents a pivotal and state-of-the-art contribution to the ongoing discussion concerning digital well-being. Furthermore, this is the first book that captures the complex set of issues that are implicated by the ongoing development of digital technologies, impacting our well-being either directly or indirectly. By helping to clarify some of the most pertinent issues, this collection clarifies the risks and opportunities associated with deploying digital technologies in various social domains.

Pensando o impensável
Você já parou para pensar como será o mundo daqui dez anos? E os próximos vinte ou cinquenta? Carros voadores ou robôs são só a ponta de um iceberg enorme de inovações que mais parecem cenários retirados de filmes de ficção científica. O mais impressionante disso tudo é que muitas delas nem precisarão de anos para acontecer, pois já estão acontecendo agora e você nem se deu conta. O universo digital vem transformando a cultura mundial. A maneira como vemos o mundo, nos relacionamos, trabalhamos e consumimos foi totalmente alterada pela web. Essa alteração de percepção do mundo, das pessoas ao nosso redor e de quem somos traz infinitas possibilidades e questionamentos. Pensando nisso, Gil Giardelli traz sua experiência de quase vinte anos em inovação e Cultura Digital para nos apresentar neste livro quais são as impressionantes transformações que já estão acontecendo e as que estão por vir. Desde modelos bancários, inovações na indústria, no agronegócio e nas redes sociais até robôs futuristas que podem revolucionar o mercado de trabalho e o seu dia a dia nos próximos anos. O futuro é agora e quem estiver preparado para ele sairá na frente.
The Battle for Your Brain
A new dawn of brain tracking and hacking is coming. Will you be prepared for what comes next? Imagine a world where your brain can be interrogated to learn your political beliefs, your thoughts can be used as evidence of a crime, and your own feelings can be held against you. A world where people who suffer from epilepsy receive alerts moments before a seizure, and the average person can peer into their own mind to eliminate painful memories or cure addictions. Neuroscience has already made all of this possible today, and neurotechnology will soon become the “universal controller” for all of our interactions with technology. This can benefit humanity immensely, but without safeguards, it can seriously threaten our fundamental human rights to privacy, freedom of thought, and self-determination. From one of the world’s foremost experts on the ethics of neuroscience, The Battle for Your Brain offers a path forward to navigate the complex legal and ethical dilemmas that will fundamentally impact our freedom to understand, shape, and define ourselves.
