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. All papers were originally presented at the International KES Conference on Human Centred Intelligent Systems 2020 (KES HCIS 2020), held on June 17–19, 2020, in Split, Croatia.

Human Centred Intelligent Systems

Der Erwerb von Kolonien diente in der Zeit ab dem 15. Jahrhundert allen grossen, meist europaischen Landern, einer Einflusserweiterung uber Lander- und Wassergrenzen hinaus ebenso stark wie der Verbreitung der eigenen Kultur in fremden Regionen der Erde. Frankreich konnte Ende des 16. Jahrhunderts erste Terretorien fur sich erwerben und baute seinen Einfluss sukkzessive aus, bis Frankreich im 19. Jahrhundert zur zweitgrossten Kolonialmacht avancierte. Genau diese Entwicklungen bis ins Jahr 1901 sind Gegenstand des vorliegenden Buches von Alfred Zimmermann. Er umschreibt detailliert die Entwicklungen der Erschliessung von Kolonien durch Frankreich. Uberdies verweist Zimmermann auch auf dessen politische Brisanz und den Bezug zu anderen europaischen Kolonialmacht

This book presents emerging trends in the evolution of service-oriented and enterprise architectures. New architectures and methods of both business and IT are integrating services to support mobility systems, Internet of Things, Ubiquitous Computing, collaborative and adaptive business processes, Big Data, and Cloud ecosystems. They inspire current and future digital strategies and create new opportunities for the digital transformation of next digital products and services. Services Oriented Architectures (SOA) and Enterprise Architectures (EA) have emerged as a useful framework for developing interoperable, large-scale systems, typically implementing various standards, like Web Services, REST, and Microservices. Managing the adaptation and evolution of such systems presents a great challenge. Service-Oriented Architecture enables flexibility through loose coupling, both between the services themselves and between the IT organizations that manage them. Enterprises evolve continuously by transforming and extending their services, processes and information systems. Enterprise Architectures provide a holistic blueprint to help define the structure and operation of an organization with the goal of determining how an organization can most effectively achieve its objectives. The book proposes several approaches to address the challenges of the service-oriented evolution of digital enterprise and software architectures.
