This book widens the insights with the advent of data-driven techniques using intelligent Cyber-Physical Systems to monitor and diagnose patients, provide personalized treatments, and enhance the overall quality of care. Intelligent Cyber-Physical Systems for healthcare solutions is an emerging area of research that aims to integrate advanced technologies, such as sensors, actuators, artificial intelligence, and the Internet of things, with healthcare systems to improve patient outcomes. This book provides an overview of the state-of-the-art in this field, showcasing the latest advances in cyber-physical systems design and implementation—the challenges and opportunities in applying CPS to healthcare. The book covers various aspects of intelligent cyber-physical systems in healthcare, including architecture, communication protocols, data processing, monitoring, diagnosis, rehabilitation, and assistive technologies. It also addresses important issues such as security, privacy, and ethics considerations and presents best practices for ensuring the safety and reliability of CPS in healthcare. The book offers a valuable resource for researchers, practitioners, and students to transform healthcare and improve patient outcomes while highlighting the need for interdisciplinary collaboration and ethical considerations in its design and implementation.

Tax treaty arbitration is a topic that has become more important than ever before. In a post-BEPS world, where tax treaty disputes are expected to increase significantly as a result of the different measures taken to address treaty abuse, a well-functioning dispute resolution mechanism is key to solving tax treaty disputes. Both the OECD and the European Union took initiatives to improve the mechanisms for dispute resolution in tax matters. The OECD amended article 25 of the OECD Model on the mutual agreement procedure and the European Union adopted Council Directive 2017/1852 on tax dispute resolution mechanisms in the European Union. The aim of this book is to provide tax authorities, policymakers, courts and practitioners an overview of the effectiveness of tax treaty arbitration and the approach towards the recent changes in 36 countries. This book comprises 36 national reports from countries across the globe and is the outcome of a conference on tax treaty arbitration that took place from 5 to 7 July 2018 in Rust (Austria). More than 100 experts, including the authors of the national reports, were brought together to discuss recent developments in the field of tax treaty arbitration. A general report highlights the most important findings of the conference.
