Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue will include excellent academic achievements of selected papers submitted to the 2021 International Symposium on Computing and Artificial Intelligence (ISCAI).

The conference’s quality of attendees and topics is at an impressively high level. Moreover, the organization and venue of the ISCAI and co-located conferences are world-class. The conferences in Beijing in 2021 will allow for an international gathering of Asian and other international participants. The high academic standards of the conference ensure a consistent level of quality in academic work and related discourse. ISCAI is a premier conference for sharing advances in computer science and artificial intelligence.

Authors of invited papers should be aware that the final submitted manuscript must provide a minimum of 50% new content and not exceed 30% copy/paste from the proceedings paper.

(1) Background: The prevalence of uncontrolled hypertension is rising all across the world, making it a concern for public health. The usage of mobile health applications has resulted in a number of positive outcomes for the management and control of hypertension. (2) Objective: The study’s primary goal is to explain the steps to create a hypertension application (app) that considers cultural and social standards in Saudi Arabia, motivational features, and the needs of male and female Saudi citizens. (3) Methods: This study reports the emerged features and content needed to be adapted or developed in health apps for hypertension patients during an interactive qualitative analysis focus group activity with (n = 5) experts from the Saudi Ministry of Health. A gap analysis was conducted to develop an app based on a deep understanding of user needs with a patient-centred approach. (4) Results: Based on the participant’s reviews in this study, the app was easy to use and can help Saudi patients to control their hypertension, the design was interactive, motivational features are user-friendly, and there is a need to consider other platforms such as Android and Blackberry in a future version. (5) Conclusions: Mobile health apps can help Saudis change their unhealthy lifestyles. Target users, usability, motivational features, and social and cultural standards must be considered to meet the app’s aim. Full article

The Reduction by Space Partitioning (RSP3) algorithm is a well-known data reduction technique. It summarizes the training data and generates representative prototypes. Its goal is to reduce the computational cost of an instance-based classifier without penalty in accuracy. The algorithm keeps on dividing the initial training data into subsets until all of them become homogeneous, i.e., they contain instances of the same class. To divide a non-homogeneous subset, the algorithm computes its two furthest instances and assigns all instances to their closest furthest instance. This is a very expensive computational task, since all distances among the instances of a non-homogeneous subset must be calculated. Moreover, noise in the training data leads to a large number of small homogeneous subsets, many of which have only one instance. These instances are probably noise, but the algorithm mistakenly generates prototypes for these subsets. This paper proposes simple and fast variations of RSP3 that avoid the computationally costly partitioning tasks and remove the noisy training instances. The experimental study conducted on sixteen datasets and the corresponding statistical tests show that the proposed variations of the algorithm are much faster and achieve higher reduction rates than the conventional RSP3 without negatively affecting the accuracy.

Falls, highly common in the constantly increasing global aging population, can have a variety of negative effects on their health, well-being, and quality of life, including restricting their capabilities to conduct activities of daily living (ADLs), which are crucial for one’s sustenance. Timely assistance during falls is highly necessary, which involves tracking the indoor location of the elderly during their diverse navigational patterns associated with different activities to detect the precise location of a fall. With the decreasing caregiver population on a global scale, it is important that the future of intelligent living environments can detect falls during ADLs while being able to track the indoor location of the elderly in the real world. Prior works in these fields have several limitations, such as the lack of functionalities to detect falls and indoor locations in a simultaneous manner, high cost of implementation, complicated design, the requirement of multiple hardware components for deployment, and the necessity to develop new hardware for implementation, which make the wide-scale deployment of such technologies challenging. To address these challenges, this work proposes a cost-effective and simplistic design paradigm for an ambient assisted living system that can capture multimodal components of user behaviors during ADLs that are necessary for performing fall detection and indoor localization in a simultaneous manner in the real-world. Proof-of-concept results from real-world experiments are presented to uphold the effective working of the system. The findings from two comparative studies with prior works in this field are also presented to uphold the novelty of this work. The first comparative study shows how the proposed system outperforms prior works in the areas of indoor localization and fall detection in terms of the effectiveness of its software design and hardware design. The second comparative study shows that the cost of the development of this system is the lowest as compared to prior works in these fields, which involved real-world development of the underlining systems, thereby upholding its cost-effective nature.

Changes in the information age have induced the necessity for a more efficient and effective self-decision-making requirement. A method of extracting and constructing naval operations decision-making rules based on scenario analysis is proposed. The template specifications of Event Condition Action (ECA) rules are defined, and a consistency detection method of ECA rules based on SWRL is proposed. The logical relationships and state transitions of the naval operational process is analyzed in detail, and the association of objects, events, and behaviors is realized. Finally, the operation of the proposed methods is illustrated through an example process, showing the method can effectively solve the problems of self-decision-making rule extraction and construction among naval battlefield decision environment, and avoid relying on artificial intelligence, which may have brought some uncertain factors.
