Introduction to Advances in Information, Intelligence, Systems and Applications

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 \(\to\) Intelligence \(\to\) Systems \(\to\) Applications” circle is repeated at ever higher levels. 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, July 10–12, 2024 ( https://www.easyacademia.org/iisa2023 ) along with additional relevant papers by invited authors. These works cover a broad spectrum of topics from both novelties in theory and advanced methodologies as well as applications in the Energy, Agriculture, Medicine, Forensics, Healthcare, Education, Tourism, Inspection, Traffic and Software Engineering.
