This book provides a thorough exploration of how heritage representation has evolved in the digital age, highlighting connections between diverse informed solutions for preserving and interpreting heritage knowledge. It provides a holistic overview of advanced surveying and visualization tools essential for decoding and analyzing cultural heritage data.

Techniques such as remote sensing, heritage building information modeling (HBIM), knowledge graphs, and game-based learning can unveil the complex layers inherent in endangered heritage sites. Beyond these tools, the book examines policy perspectives that require critical review and collective efforts.

A key focus of the contributions is the revolutionary role of the smart heritage information base as a new form of knowledge and practice. Enriched representations and integrated analyses have revolutionized heritage practices, moving beyond the traditional eidotypes that were prevalent until the first decade of the 21st century. The diverse array of the collected contributions in this book highlights a cultural and technical shift that represents a significant methodological and epistemological progress in the fields of digital humanities and heritage management. 

With insightful analyses of heritage sites, especially archaeological remains, through real-world case studies in Spain, Portugal, Turkey, Pakistan, and Israel, this book delves into the challenges posed by human-made induced disasters and natural hazards, offering valuable insights into safeguarding our cultural heritage. These case studies not only show the challenges local sites and communities face now and, in the future, but also enrich the discourse on how to protect our shared cultural heritage together. The advanced mapping and analysis of these case studies reveal the importance to unveil hidden narratives, protect collective values, and reshape perspectives on cultural heritage in the digital age.

The target audience includes heritage practitioners, architects, archaeologists, urban planners, data scientists, researchers, academics, teaching institutions, and architecture students. Its international scope is reflected in contributions and editors from diverse locations. The thematic breadth appeals to a global readership interested in different theoretical and methodological approaches, complemented by a range of case studies across different cultural, economic, and environmental contexts and future scenarios.

“Digital Health: A multidisciplinary approach” is a novel and unique book covering the main topics of health innovation focused on what computer science and technology have been applied in healthcare and what the perspectives for the future. This is a thought-provoking theme, covering a broad range of aspects of issues, from basic concepts that composes the known “4th industrial revolution” (artificial intelligence, cloud computing, internet of things, big data, robotics and computer systems), all of which has been used in different healthcare sectors, to more recent technologies applied to healthcare, such as smartphone applications, remote consulting, augmented reality, gamification and brain-machine interactions. All chapters cover detailed explanations of all these technologies and how are the possible uses and applications in healthcare in different contexts, with a multidisciplinary approach, including the vision of technology, health and social sciences researchers. The great difference of this book is the coverage of updated topics, with the most advanced knowledge of all the technologies described in each chapter, covering virtually every innovation in healthcare, and the multidisciplinary approach, making the book accessible to researchers from different fields of knowledge.

Adopting an experimental learning approach, this book describes a practical forensic process to acquire and analyze databases from a given device and/or application. Databases hold important, sensitive, and/or confidential information and are a crucial source of evidence in any digital investigation.
