Researchers have achieved only partial success in reaching this goal. However, many of the modest advances have been applied in modern intelligent systems. On the other hand, the field of databases has incorporated many new developments—especially in the areas of big data and analytics. The purpose of this book is to present the latest examples of the application of artificial intelligence techniques and advances in databases in information systems. The editors of this book are Dariusz Barbucha, with the Department of Information Systems at Gdynia Maritime University, Gdynia, Poland; Ngoc Thanh Nguyen, with the Department of Information Systems at the Faculty of Computer Science and Management, Wrocław University of Technology, Wrocław, Poland; and John Batubara, at the Graduate Program in Information Technology, Bina Nusantara University, Jakarta, Indonesia.
