This book includes extended versions of selected research works that were presented at the 14th International Conference on Information, Intelligence, Systems, and Applications (IISA2023), Volos, Greece, 10–12 July 2024 (https://www.easyacademia.org/iisa2023) along with additional relevant papers by invited authors. Information is widely available and accessible but frequently leads to information overload and overexposure and the effort for coding, storing, hiding, securing, transmitting, and retrieving it may be excessive. Intelligence, inspired by biological and other paradigms, is required to manage information and extract knowledge from it. Information and multimedia systems, with an increasing level of intelligence, are being developed that incorporate these advances. As a result, new technologies, protocols, and novel applications are emerging. In turn, the novel applications lead to the collection of new information, and the “Information à Intelligence à Systems à Applications” circle is repeated at ever higher levels. These works cover a broad spectrum of topics from both novelties in theory and advanced methodologies as well as novel applications in energy, agriculture, medicine, forensics, healthcare, education, tourism, inspection, traffic, and software engineering. Targeted towards academicians, researchers, practitioners, and students in computer science and artificial intelligence, this work is also accessible to individuals from other disciplines interested in the cutting-edge developments of information, intelligence, systems, and applications. An extensive list of bibliographic references at the end of each chapter guides the readers to probe deeper into the application areas of interest to them.

Alan M. Turing war der erste, der überhaupt die Frage stellte, ob Maschinen denken können. Seine Überlegungen dazu stießen die Tür für das Zeitalter moderner Computer auf. Seine bahnbrechende Arbeit, die jeder kennen sollte, der an Computern, Philosophie des Geistes und der Kognition, Psychologie oder allgemein an den Entwicklungen Künstlicher Intelligenz (KI) interessiert ist, folgt zeichengenau der 1950 in der Zeitschrift'Mind'veröffentlichten Form. Die neue Übersetzung wird ausführlich kommentiert. Das Nachwort zeigt, inwiefern sich die dort formulierten Prinzipien bis heute bei der Entwicklung von KI niederschlagen. Die Reihe'Great Papers Philosophie'bietet bahnbrechende Aufsätze der Philosophie: - Eine zeichengenaue, zitierfähige Wiedergabe des Textes (links das fremdsprachige Original, rechts eine neue Übersetzung). - Eine philosophiegeschichtliche Einordnung: Wie dachte man früher über das Problem? Welche Veränderung bewirkte der Aufsatz? Wie denkt man heute darüber? - Eine Analyse des Textes bzw. eine Rekonstruktion seiner Argumentationsstruktur, gefolgt von einem Abschnitt über den Autor sowie ein kommentiertes Literaturverzeichnis. E-Book mit Seitenzählung der gedruckten UB-Ausgabe sowie mit Originalpaginierung.
