Integrative Pancreatic Intervention Therapy: A Holistic Approach summarizes, in a systematic manner, the diagnosis and treatment of late, critical pancreatic diseases. The book gives insights into each interventional technique, with an ultimate goal of improving survival rates for late stage pancreatic cancer patients. Six sections cover basic and transformation research on pancreatic diseases, interventional therapy for benign pancreatic disease, interventional therapy for malignant pancreatic diseases, interventional therapy for pancreative cancer-related lesions, stem cell and targeted molecular therapy for pancreative carcinoma, and combined interventional therapy for pancreative carcinoma.

This book will be useful for those looking to understand how best to apply interventional therapy for the improvement of late state pancreatic cancer treatment.

This book constitutes the proceedings of the Second International Conference on 5G for Future Wireless Networks, 5GWN 2019, held in Changsa, China, in February 2019. The 13 full papers were selected from 34 submissions and present the state of the art and practical applications of 5G technologies. The papers are arranged thematically on optimization theory and applications, intelligent computing technology for 5G applications, resource allocation and management, and security and privacy in emerging 5G applications.

This book comprehensively discusses the development, application and challenges of network slicing technology in wireless communications. Starting with the basic concept and enabling technologies of network slicing, this book introduces how to integrate AI (Artificial Intelligence) technology into the end-to-end deployment, resource allocation and performance enhancement for multi-tenant slicing. An in-depth exploration of managing multi-domain slices deployed in the federated infrastructure networks is presented, including on-demand cooperation among multiple infrastructure networks, distinct slice deployment, hierarchical slice orchestration and fast slice adaption. As a guide to leveraging AI to enhance traffic performance of multi-tenant slicing and customize resource slicing for industrial scenarios, this book provides insights, modeling, applications and research issues. A holistic perspective on prominent role of network slicing in managing wireless network resources is provided as well.

Overall, network slicing as a key technology of wireless networks, enables to satisfy differentiated service demands of multiple tenants from vertical industries with the same shared physical infrastructure network. As future wireless networks are expected to facilitate the evolution of vertical industries, various vertical enterprises as tenants require an intelligent network slicing paradigm to provide highly customizable services. AI-based management system for network slicing excel at deploying slices rapidly, allocating resources efficiently and avoiding service quality degradation. With the increasing diversity of service demands and complexity of communication environment, incorporating AI into network slicing is a necessity for improving flexibility and automation of resource management.

This book targets advanced-level students in information and communication sciences as a secondary textbook. Researchers and industry professionals working in various areas, such as wireless communication systems, network management and orchestration, resource allocation and AI-enabled wireless networks will also find this book useful as reference book.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 6th International Conference on Game Theory for Networks, GameNets 2016, held in Kelowna, Canada, in May 2016. The 13 papers were carefully selected from 26 submissions and cover topics such as algorithmic game theory, game models and theories, game theories in wireless networks, design and analysis of economic games.
