Developments in Intellectual Property Strategy: The Impact of Artificial Intelligence, Robotics and New Technologies
by Nadia NaimResearch in the area of intellectual property (IP) is increasingly relevant to the rapidly growing artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics industries, affecting the legal, business, manufacturing, and healthcare sectors. This contributed volume aims to develop our understanding of the legal and ethical challenges posed by artificial intelligence and robotics technologies and the appropriate intellectual property based legal and regulatory responses. It provides a philosophical and legal framework for considering concepts and principles that relate to the development and use of such technologies at the international, regional, and national levels. The legal discourse in IP concerns the ever-growing AI sector and how businesses can protect their IP and incorporate AI. Moral sentiments often take a back seat to market sentiments, even in shaping the direction of ethical business strategy. This anomaly persists despite growing interest in ethics and IP. Taking an interdisciplinary and diverse perspective, this book enriches the evolving definition and scope of IP literature by focusing on actors, products and regulation that shape the business sector. Considering the gap between theory and practice, this book bridges academic and professional knowledge in unpacking legal, ethical and governance issues in the intellectual property industry. In an effort to include as many viewpoints as possible, contributions have been gathered from diverse fields, including business, ethics, governance, law, philosophy and technology studies. This book will appeal to academics in the field of intellectual property, business ethics, AI, emerging technologies and strategic innovation, as well as practitioners and policy makers.

Practical Domain-Driven Design in Enterprise Java: Using Jakarta EE, Eclipse MicroProfile, Spring Boot, and the Axon Framework
by Vijay NairSee how Domain-Driven Design (DDD) combines with Jakarta EE MicroProfile or Spring Boot to offer a complete suite for building enterprise-grade applications. In this book you will see how these all come together in one of the most efficient ways to develop complex software. Practical Domain-Driven Design in Enterprise Java starts by building out the Cargo Tracker reference application as a monolithic application using the Jakarta EE platform. By doing so, you will map concepts of DDD (bounded contexts, language, and aggregates) to the corresponding available tools (CDI, JAX-RS, and JPA) within the Jakarta EE platform. Once you have completed the monolithic application, you will walk through the complete conversion of the monolith to a microservices-based architecture, again mapping the concepts of DDD and the corresponding available tools within the MicroProfile platform (config, discovery, and fault tolerance). To finish this section, you will examine the same microservices architecture on the Spring Boot platform. The final set of chapters looks at what the application would be like if you used the CQRS and event sourcing patterns. Here you’ll use the Axon framework as the base framework. What You Will LearnDiscover the DDD architectural principles and use the DDD design patternsUse the new Eclipse Jakarta EE platform Work with the Spring Boot frameworkImplement microservices design patterns, including context mapping, logic design, entities, integration, testing, and securityCarry out event sourcingApply CQRS Who This Book Is ForJunior developers intending to start working on enterprise Java; senior developers transitioning from monolithic- to microservices-based architectures; and architects transitioning to a DDD philosophy of building applications.

Argentina innovadora: Quiénes son los emprendedores, científicos y artistas que están cambiando el país
by Silvia Naishtat María Eugenia EstenssoroCómo hicieron los emprendedores tecnológicos que hace veinte años decidieron realizar el sueño de una nación innovadora y creativa, reconocida por su talento en el resto del mundo. En América Latina hay siete unicornios, y cuatro son argentinos. No se trata de seres mitológicos, sino de empresas tecnológicas valuadas en más de mil millones de dólares. No solo se distinguen por su valor, sino por llevar en su ADN una gran dosis de espíritu rupturista e innovador. Surgieron y se desarrollaron a contramano de la realidad local, y hoy son multinacionales que generan riqueza, trabajo de calidad y crecimiento sostenido. Mercado Libre es la principal plataforma de comercio electrónico de habla hispana y un caso de estudio en la Universidad de Stanford. Despegar es la quinta agencia de turismo del mundo. Globant suministra tecnología a empresas como Disney y Google. OLX está presente en ciento veinte países y es la mayor compañía de venta de clasificados por internet en la India. Pero no son casos excepcionales, y el término "unicornios" se extiende a otras empresas con las mismas características: Gran Data anticipa el comportamiento de los consumidores para las principales compañías telefónicas de los Estados Unidos; Satellogic ya lanzó cinco satélites al espacio que brindan imágenes con una resolución nunca antes alcanzada; y Bioceres posee un gen resistente a la sequía que puede permitir una nueva revolución productiva en el agro. Luego de dos años de viajes y entrevistas, María Eugenia Estenssoro y Silvia Naishtat concluyen que estos son ejemplos descollantes de que la Argentina no es solo un semillero de futbolistas de calidad internacional: con políticas públicas adecuadas, el país puede aspirar también a ser un polo mundial de innovación en áreas tan diversas como la biotecnología, el arte y la comunicación.
Advanced Biosignal Processing
by Amine Nait-AliThrough 17 chapters, this book presents the principle of many advanced biosignal processing techniques. After an important chapter introducing the main biosignal properties as well as the most recent acquisition techniques, it highlights five specific parts which build the body of this book. Each part concerns one of the most intensively used biosignals in the clinical routine, namely the Electrocardiogram (ECG), the Elektroenzephalogram (EEG), the Electromyogram (EMG) and the Evoked Potential (EP). In addition, each part gathers a certain number of chapters related to analysis, detection, classification, source separation and feature extraction. These aspects are explored by means of various advanced signal processing approaches, namely wavelets, Empirical Modal Decomposition, Neural networks, Markov models, Metaheuristics as well as hybrid approaches including wavelet networks, and neuro-fuzzy networks. The last part, concerns the Multimodal Biosignal processing, in which we present two different chapters related to the biomedical compression and the data fusion. Instead organising the chapters by approaches, the present book has been voluntarily structured according to signal categories (ECG, EEG, EMG, EP). This helps the reader, interested in a specific field, to assimilate easily the techniques dedicated to a given class of biosignals. Furthermore, most of signals used for illustration purpose in this book can be downloaded from the Medical Database for the Evaluation of Image and Signal Processing Algorithm. These materials assist considerably the user in evaluating the performances of their developed algorithms. This book is suited for final year graduate students, engineers and researchers in biomedical engineering and practicing engineers in biomedical science and medical physics.
