Prescribing optimal operation based on the condition of system, and thereby potentially prolonging its remaining useful lifetime, has tremendous potential in terms actively managing availability, maintenance, costs complex systems. Reinforcement learning (RL) algorithms are particularly suitable for this type problem given their capabilities. A special case a prescriptive is power allocation ta...

Abstract Background The main cause of waste health resources is represented by overuse diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. Given its high prevalence the importance identifying hypertensive-mediated organ damage, management patients with arterial hypertension can lead to a lack appropriateness. aim this study was evaluate prescriptive appropriateness non-invasive tests (Echocardiography, Caro...

The present biometric market segment has been captured by compact, lightweight sensors which are capable of reading the fluctuations a user in real-time. This further facilitated rise new ecosystem wearable devices helpful tracking real-time physiological data for Healthcare-related analysis. However, smart-wearable limited to capturing and displaying biometrics without any prescriptive analyti...

Culture is an important topic in strategic information systems (IS) research, particularly because information technology (IT) projects are often accompanied by cultural challenges. While culture has been widely analyzed in this discipline, there is a lack of research that systematically examines the role of culture in strategic IS research. With a structured literature review, we investigate t...

Public institutions that are organized in hierarchies find it difficult to address crisis or other unique requirements that demand networked solutions. This chapter first provides a prescriptive transaction-based method for achieving such networking organizations with information technologies (IT) and then discusses how the organization becomes more effective in non-routine responses to citizen...

One barrier in introducing autonomous vehicle technology is the liability issue when these vehicles are involved in an accident. To overcome this, autonomous vehicle manufacturers should ensure that their vehicles always comply with traffic rules. This paper focusses on the safe distance traffic rule from the Vienna Convention on Road Traffic. Ensuring autonomous vehicles to comply with this sa...
