Businesses today are faced with a highly competitive market and fast-changing technologies. In order to meet demanding customers’ needs, they rely on high quality software. A new field of study, soft computing techniques, is needed to estimate the efforts invested in component-based software. Component-Based Systems: Estimating Efforts Using Soft Computing Techniques is an important resource that uses computer-based models for estimating efforts of software. It provides an overview of component-based software engineering, while addressing uncertainty involved in effort estimation and expert opinions. This book will also instruct the reader how to develop mathematical models. This book is an excellent source of information for students and researchers to learn soft computing models, their applications in software management, and will help software developers, managers, and those in the industry to apply soft computing techniques to estimate efforts.

This book highlights the state-of-the-art research on data usage, security, and privacy in the scenarios of the Internet of Things (IoT), along with related applications using Machine Learning and Big Data technologies to design and make efficient Internet-compatible IoT systems. ICT and Data Sciences brings together IoT and Machine Learning and provides the careful integration of both, along with many examples and case studies. It illustrates the merging of two technologies while presenting basic to high-level concepts covering different fields and domains such as the Hospitality and Tourism industry, Smart Clothing, Cyber Crime, Programming, Communications, Business Intelligence, all in the context of the Internet of Things. The book is written for researchers and practitioners, working in Information Communication Technology and Computer Science.

Generative AI technologies are reshaping the way we create, communicate, and compute, presenting both unprecedented opportunities and profound challenges. As these systems increasingly influence decisions that shape our lives, it becomes clear that performance metrics alone cannot define their success. A deeper understanding of the intersection between technical innovation and human values is essential to navigate this transformative era.The Art and Ethics of Generative AI: Fairness, Transparency, and Human Values provides a balanced exploration of generative AI, combining technical insights with ethical considerations. It explains generative model architectures and learning paradigms in an accessible way, while addressing critical issues such as algorithmic bias, explainability challenges, and emerging regulatory approaches. Practical frameworks for responsible AI development are offered, alongside multidisciplinary perspectives that bridge technical and humanistic viewpoints. Abstract concepts are brought to life through practical illustrations, demonstrating how ethical considerations play out in real-world AI applications.Designed for a wide audience, the book serves AI practitioners seeking actionable guidance for building responsible systems, researchers exploring nuanced ethical dimensions, educators and students looking for comprehensive learning materials, and policymakers needing governance insights. It is an essential resource for anyone engaged in the rapidly evolving AI ecosystem.
