Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

In the Era of Artificial Intelligence, intelligent systems are transforming various domains of our lives. The performance of intelligent systems is improved by providing more sophisticated reasoning skills, as well as the ability to learn and adapt to new information. Different application domains have evolved through AI, such as:

  • Autonomous vehicles that navigate roads, avoid obstacles, and make decisions in real time;
  • The use of surgical robots and AI to perform surgery with unrivalled precision and accuracy;
  • In the industrial sector, automating tasks, improving decision-making, optimizing processes, and increasing collaboration between humans and machines allows for the boosting of efficiency, productivity, sustainability, and adaptability;
  • Automation of many repetitive and time-consuming tasks, such as inventory management, route planning, and order tracking, with the aim of improving overall supply chain efficiency.

This call is focused on the latest research in intelligent systems in the following areas (but is not limited to):

  • Intelligent Transportation Systems;
  • Smart Healthcare;
  • Industry 4.0 and 5.0;
  • Logistics.

Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) represents a significant advancement in diabetes management, playing an important role in glycemic control for patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D). Despite their benefits, their performance is affected by numerous factors such as the carbohydrate intake, alcohol consumption, and physical activity (PA). Among these, PA could cause hypoglycemic episodes, which might happen after exercising. In this work, two main contributions are presented. First, we extend the performance evaluation of two glucose monitoring devices, Eversense and Free Style Libre (FSL), for measuring glucose concentrations during high-intensity PA and normal daily activity (NDA). The impact of PA is investigated considering (1) different glucose ranges (hypoglycemia, euglycemia, and hyperglycemia); and (2) four time periods throughout the day (morning, afternoon, evening, and night). Second, we evaluate the effectiveness of machine learning (ML) models, including logistic regression, K-nearest neighbors, and support vector machine, to automatically detect PA in T1D individuals using glucose measurements. The performance analysis showed significant differences between glucose levels obtained in the PA and NDA period for Eversense and FSL devices, specially in the hyperglycemic range and two time intervals (morning and afternoon). Both Eversense and FSL devices present measurements with large variability during strenuous PA, indicating that their users should be cautious. However, glucose recordings provided by monitoring devices are accurate for NDA, reaching similar values to capillary glucose device. Lastly, ML-based models yielded promising results to determine when an individual has performed PA, reaching an accuracy value of 0.93. The results can be used to develop an individualized data-driven classifier for each patient that categorizes glucose profiles based on the time interval during the day and according to if a patient performs PA. Our work contributes to the analysis of PA on the performance of CGM devices. Full article

In this paper, we present a novel non-deep-learning-based approach for real-time object tracking and activity recognition within smart homes, aiming to minimize human intervention and dataset requirements. Our method utilizes discreet, easily concealable sensors and passive RFID technology to track objects in real-time, enabling precise activity recognition without the need for extensive datasets typically associated with deep learning techniques. Central to our approach is AtomGID, an algorithm tailored to extract highly generalizable spatial features from RFID data. Notably, AtomGID’s adaptability extends beyond RFID to other imprecise tracking technologies like Bluetooth beacons and radars. We validate AtomGID through simulation and real-world RFID data collection within a functioning smart home environment. To enhance recognition accuracy, we employ a clustering adaptation of the flocking algorithm, leveraging previously published Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) data. Our classifier achieves a robust classification rate ranging from 85% to 93%, underscoring the efficacy of our approach in accurately identifying activities. By prioritizing non-deep-learning techniques and harnessing the strengths of passive RFID technology, our method offers a pragmatic and scalable solution for activity recognition in smart homes, significantly reducing dataset dependencies and human intervention requirements.

Generative adversarial networks (GANs) have become a recent and rapidly developing research topic in machine learning. Since their inception in 2014, a significant number of variants have been proposed to address various topics across many fields, and they have particularly excelled not only in image and language processing but also in the medical and data science domains. In this paper, we aim to highlight the significance of and advancements that these GAN models can introduce in the field of Business Economics, where they have yet to be fully developed. To this end, a review of the literature of GANs is presented in general together with a more specific review in the field of Business Economics, for which only a few papers can be found. Furthermore, the most relevant papers are analysed in order to provide approaches for the opportunity to research GANs in the field of Business Economics. Full article
