Abstract

The book contains selected contributions from the 48th Annual Meeting of the EURO Working Group on Operational Research Applied to Health Services (ORAHS 2022) held in Bergamo, Italy, July 2022. ORAHS 2022 provided a network for researchers involved in the application of systematic and quantitative analyses to support planning and management in the health services sector, with the ultimate goal of pursuing good health and well-being. It was the ORAHS in the red zone, focused on the organization and reaction of health systems in the face of emergency situations such as the COVID pandemic. The questions addressed were, for example, how can hospitals and public authorities react to extreme scenarios by reorganizing their resources? How and to what extent do local health systems integrate hospitals to deal with a pandemic? How can Decision Support Systems for diagnosis and treatment help when battling a new virus for the first time? Contributions included a variety of methodological viewpoints (optimization, simulation, data analysis, predictive models, decision science, mathematical programming, machine learning, ...) and health services applications (hospital management, therapy calibration, analysis of statistical and epidemiological data, minimization of logistics costs, ...). This work strongly contributes to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) Programme.

Abstract

The main target of this book is to raise the awareness about social networking systems design, implementation, security requirements, and approaches. The book entails related issues including computing, engineering, security, management, and organization policy. It interprets the design, implementation and security threats in the social networks and offers some solutions in this concern. It clarifies the authentication concept between servers to identity users. Most of the models that focus on protecting users’ information are also included. This book introduces the Human-Interactive Security Protocols (HISPs) efficiently. Presenting different types of the social networking systems including the internet and mobile devices is one of the main targets of this book. This book includes the social network performance evaluation metrics. It compares various models and approaches used in the design of the social networks. This book includes various applications for the use of the social networks in the healthcare, e-commerce, crisis management, and academic applications. The book provides an extensive background for the development of social network science and its challenges. This book discusses the social networks integration to offer online services, such as instant messaging, email, file sharing, transferring patients’ medical reports/images, location-based recommendations and many other functions. This book provides users, designers, engineers and managers with the valuable knowledge to build a better secured information transfer over the social networks. The book gathers remarkable materials from an international experts’ panel to guide the readers during the analysis, design, implementation and security achievement for the social network systems. In this book, theories, practical guidance, and challenges are included to inspire designers and researchers. The book guides the engineers, designers, and researchers to exploit the intrinsic design of the social network systems.

Abstract

This book surveys new algorithmic approaches and applications to natural and man-made disasters such as oil spills, hurricanes, earthquakes and wildfires. Based on the “Third International Conference on Dynamics of Disasters” held in Kalamata, Greece, July 2017, this Work includes contributions in evacuation logistics, disaster communications between first responders, disaster relief, and a case study on humanitarian logistics. Multi-disciplinary theories, tools, techniques and methodologies are linked with disasters from mitigation and preparedness to response and recovery. The interdisciplinary approach to problems in economics, optimization, government, management, business, humanities, engineering, medicine, mathematics, computer science, behavioral studies, emergency services, and environmental studies will engage readers from a wide variety of fields and backgrounds. .
