International Symposium on Intelligent Computing and Networking 2024 (ISICN 2024), March 18-20, 2024; To enable intelligent computing and networking, it is necessary to integrate technologies from the fields of communications, networking, computing, artificial intelligence, and numerous other fields.

Intelligent computing and networking are a rapidly growing area that has attracted significant attention due to its potential impact on the quality of service of applications for B5G/6G networks and the future Internet. To enable intelligent computing and networking, it is necessary to integrate technologies from the fields of communications, networking, computing, artificial intelligence, and numerous other fields. The scope of the symposium, International Symposium on Intelligent Computing and Networking 2025 (ISICN 2025), covers all enabling technologies for intelligent computing and networking. This book, Proceedings of ISICN 2025, includes a huge variety of topics ranging from communications, computing, and networking to services and applications of artificial intelligence. Intended readership includes engineers and researchers in artificial intelligence, intelligent computing and networking areas. Targeted primary market will be professors, graduate students, and senior undergraduate students as well as research engineers. Targeted secondary market will be industry managers, consultants, and government research agencies in the related fields.

This book intends to show that radical naturalism (or physicalism), nominalism and strict finitism account for the applications of classical mathematics in current scientific theories. The applied mathematical theories developed in the book include the basics of calculus, metric space theory, complex analysis, Lebesgue integration, Hilbert spaces, and semi-Riemann geometry (sufficient for the applications in classical quantum mechanics and general relativity). The fact that so much applied mathematics can be developed within such a weak, strictly finitistic system, is surprising in itself. It also shows that the applications of those classical theories to the finite physical world can be translated into the applications of strict finitism, which demonstrates the applicability of those classical theories without assuming the literal truth of those theories or the reality of infinity.Both professional researchers and students of philosophy of mathematics will benefit greatly from reading this book.

This book provides a comprehensive understanding of public hospital reform in China, which is a hot topic for China’s new round of health sector reform. The authors use rich data from both health provider side and service user side and conduct a cross-sectional study in China with some comparative analysis between different locations. It provides the audience with a big picture of China’s public hospital and other components of health system as well. The book reviews the main policy measurements in the public hospital reforms and evaluates how these policies influence public hospitals' practices, especially on hospital governance and internal management.

This book demonstrates how a radical version of physicalism (‘No-Self Physicalism’) can offer an internally coherent and comprehensive philosophical worldview. It first argues that a coherent physicalist should explicitly treat a cognitive subject merely as a physical thing and should not vaguely assume an amorphous or even soul-like subject or self. This approach forces the physicalist to re-examine traditional core philosophical notions such as truth, analyticity, modality, apriority because our traditional understandings of them appear to be predicated on a cognitive subject that is not literally just a physical thing.In turn, working on the assumption that a cognitive subject is itself completely physical, namely a neural network-based robot programmed by evolution (hence the term ‘No-Self’), the book proposes physicalistic theories on conceptual representation, truth, analyticity, modality, the nature of mathematics, epistemic justification, knowledge, apriority andintuition, as well as a physicalistic ontology. These are meant to show that this No-Self Physicalism, perhaps the most minimalistic and radical version of physicalism proposed to date, can accommodate many aspects that have traditionally interested philosophers. Given its refreshingly radical approach and painstakingly developed content, the book is of interest to anyone who is seeking a coherent philosophical worldview in this age of science.
