In today's competitive environment, manufacturing and service companies are intensifying their customization processes. Information and Management Systems for Product Customization will concentrate on both product customization and costs' efficiency, which is termed as mass customization.

Designing and Evaluating E-Managemnet Decision Tools presents the most relevant concepts for designing intelligent decision tools in an Internet-based multimedia environment and assessing the tools using concepts of statistical design of experiments.

Computer-based infectious disease surveillance systems represent a major step forward in disease surveillance. This book analyzes and evaluates the outbreak modeling and detection capabilities of existing surveillance systems under a unified framework.

Targets wide-ranging audience: from researchers in computer science, information management and information science via analysts and policy makers in federal departments and national laboratories to consultants in IT hardware, communication, and software companies.

This book presents real-world decision support systems, i.e., systems that have been running for some time and as such have been tested in real environments and complex situations;

This book provides user studies and theories related to user-centered technology design processes for e-government projects. The technology appropriation process requires that e-government technologies should be in line with the work practices of end users, so that successful usage of these technologies can be realized.

This book describes the state-of-the-art in ontology-driven information systems (ODIS) and gives a complete perspective on the problems, solutions and open research questions in this field. The book covers four broad areas: foundations of ODIS, ontological engineering, ODIS architectures, and ODIS applications.

As the use of digital technology has grown, so necessarily has the body of research into its effects at the personal, group and organizational levels, but there is no one book that looks at how digital technology has specifically influenced creativity.

This book is nothing less than a complete and comprehensive survey of the state-of-the-art of terrorism informatics. The book details three major areas of terrorism research: prevention, detection, and established governmental responses to terrorism.

This book provides user studies and theories related to user-centered technology design processes for e-government projects. The technology appropriation process requires that e-government technologies should be in line with the work practices of end users, so that successful usage of these technologies can be realized.

A number of developing countries, including small island states have common problems that have affected their development and growth.

Synthetic Worlds, Virtual Worlds, and Alternate Realities are all terms used to describe the phenomenon of computer-based, simulated environments in which users inhabit and interact via avatars.
