The Data-Oriented Design Process for Game Development
Data-oriented design is a growing software development process for games that has not been well studied in academia. It seeks to subtract complicated design methods from problem solving and leverage the simplicity of what computer architecture is designed to do: input, transform, and output data.

Best Practices for Backup and Disaster Recovery for Secure Data
Data backup and disaster recovery is one that cannot be understated. It is an important part of any company’s IT infrastructure. The data that a company stores on a server or other storage device is the organization’s lifeblood. If it is not backed up, then there could be catastrophic consequences.
The best way to avoid disaster and protect against data loss is to have a backup plan before anything happens. This means having the right equipment, software, and policies in place to ensure that there are no surprises when something inevitably goes wrong.
We live in a digital age where data is at the core of every business. Data is the backbone of any industry and the most valuable asset for any organization. Hence, organizations are investing heavily in backup and disaster recovery solutions to ensure that they have a copy of their data in case something goes wrong.
On the Power of Social Networks to Analyze Threatening Trends
Despite their numerous advantages, social networks may be unfortunately employed for hate promotion or violence instigation. Thus, law enforcement agencies must pay close attention to these platforms to preserve public safety and detect threatening trends. To this extent, the article at hand discusses the role of social networks in today’s social movements and presents the associated opportunities for monitoring, forecasting, and prevention. We document a practical use case, developed in collaboration with the Colombian Army, in which social media analysis and artificial intelligence play a crucial role in characterizing a national crisis.

Artificial Intelligence (AI): 7 Trends to Watch in 2022
Artificial intelligence, or AI, has spread its hands in almost all areas of our lives. According to Google CEO Sundar Pichai, Artificial Intelligence’s impact will be even more than fire and electricity for humans in the coming years. It has revolutionized all industry sectors and has turned out to be essential rather than experimental. As a result, it is the most transforming technology we human beings have ever encountered in 2022.
Industries have started to invest more in Artificial Intelligence since the pandemic scenario. This is evident with the increasing automated systems in all businesses and industries. In addition, everything has been more digitally connected than ever before since the lockdown.
The year 2022 will witness Artificial Intelligence’s maturing from being an experimental technology to essential. It is listed among the top technologies that will have an impact on humanity. AI indulgence will be more extensive, strategically significant, and mission-oriented with long-term scalability in 2022.
It is wise to keep an eye on the top trends in AI in the year 2022. So, what are the 7 Artificial Intelligence trends to watch out for in 2022? Let’s have a quick look!
Better language modeling in AI
Improves cybersecurity
AI influence in the Metaverse
Low-code or No-code AI
Structuring of Data using AI
AI in Autonomous Vehicles

AI-Guided Robots Are Ready to Sort Your Recyclables
Computer-vision systems use shapes, colors, and even labels to identify materials at superhuman speeds. Thanks to AI, the industry is beginning to chip away at the mountain of recyclables that end up in landfills each year—a mountain containing billions of tons of recyclables representing billions of dollars lost and nonrenewable resources wasted.

mHealth wearables and smartphone health tracking apps: A changing privacy landscape
The use of digital health technologies is changing the ways people monitor and manage their health and well-being. There is increasing interest in using wearables and smartphone health apps to collect health-related data, a domain within digital health referred to as mHealth. Wearables and health apps can continuously monitor metrics such as physical activity, sleep, and heart rate, to name a few. These mHealth data can supplement the measures taken by healthcare professionals during regular doctor’s visits, with mHealth having the advantage of a much greater frequency of collection. But what are the privacy considerations with mHealth? This paper explores global data privacy protections, enumerates principles to guide regulations, discusses the tension between anonymity and data utility, and proposes ways to improve how we as a society talk about and safeguard data privacy. We include brief discussions about inadvertent or unintended consequences of digital data collection and the trade-off between privacy and public health interests, such as is illustrated by COVID-19 contract tracing apps. This paper concludes by offering suggestions for consideration about improving privacy and confidentiality notices.

What is Medicine 4.0?
Internet-connected devices, AI, and telemedicine are combining to forge new frontiers in medicine.
A rising population of elderly patients. A shortage of doctors. Limits on in-person visits with health care providers. 9
These trends are driving healthcare to a fourth industrial revolution, what IEEE member Eros Pasero, a professor at Politecnico of Turin, calls “Medicine 4.0.” Previous revolutions in medicine, in his view, include discovery of DNA’s double helix structure, the sequencing of the human genome to help understand the origins of disease and the convergence of biology and engineering to develop medical devices.
The ideas behind this new paradigm in health sciences are the subject of Pasero’s lecture “Medicine 4.0: When New Technologies Work with AI,” which he offered as part of the Fall 2021 IEEE Instrumentation and Measurement Society Virtual Distinguished Lecturer Series.
It’s a discussion that weaves together the newest frontiers in telemedicine, artificial intelligence, medical devices and connectivity to present a new vision of healthcare.

How to lift millions out of dire poverty
Randomized trials are changing the way governments and aid organizations study — and deliver — measures to reduce inequality and poverty. Meticulously planned and carefully delivered trials are showing the benefits of early-childhood intervention and empowering women. Perhaps the biggest lesson is that the easiest and cheapest programme to administer, unconditional cash transfers, can transform lives. Researchers continue to push for improvements to their techniques to ensure that solutions can be scaled up and reach the people who need them most.
