Background Artificial intelligence (AI)–based technologies develop rapidly and have myriad applications in medicine and health care. However, there is a lack of comprehensive reporting on the productivity, workflow, topics, and research landscape of AI in this field. Objective This study aimed to evaluate the global development of scientific publications and constructed interdisciplinary research topics on the theory and practice of AI in medicine from 1977 to 2018. Methods We obtained bibliographic data and abstract contents of publications published between 1977 and 2018 from the Web of Science database. A total of 27,451 eligible articles were analyzed. Research topics were classified by latent Dirichlet allocation, and principal component analysis was used to identify the construct of the research landscape. Results The applications of AI have mainly impacted clinical settings (enhanced prognosis and diagnosis, robot-assisted surgery, and rehabilitation), data science and precision medicine (collecting individual data for precision medicine), and policy making (raising ethical and legal issues, especially regarding privacy and confidentiality of data). However, AI applications have not been commonly used in resource-poor settings due to the limit in infrastructure and human resources. Conclusions The application of AI in medicine has grown rapidly and focuses on three leading platforms: clinical practices, clinical material, and policies. AI might be one of the methods to narrow down the inequality in health care and medicine between developing and developed countries. Technology transfer and support from developed countries are essential measures for the advancement of AI application in health care in developing countries.

AbstractThe concept of anagenthas become important in both artificial intelligence (AT) and mainstream computer science. Our aim in this paper is to point the reader at what we perceive to be the most important theoretical and practical issues associated with the design and construction of intelligent agents. For convenience, we divide these issues into three areas (though as the reader will see, the divisions are at times somewhat arbitrary).Agent theoryis concerned with the question of what an agent is, and the use of mathematical formalisms for representing and reasoning about the properties of agents.Agent architecturescan be thought of as software engineering models of agents; researchers in this area are primarily concerned with the problem of designing software or hardware systems that will satisfy the properties specified by agent theorists. Finally,agent languagesare software systems for programming and experimenting with agents; these languages may embody principles proposed by theorists. The paper isnotintended to serve as a tutorial introduction to all the issues mentioned; we hope instead simply to identify the most important issues, and point to work that elaborates on them. The article includes a short review of current and potential applications of agent technology.

In this article, we present the abstract theorem and the feasibility for the implementation of the technological justification of the structural concept for track railway line objects using the expert system. Railway construction as a complex dynamic system requires certain resources for maintaining it. At the same time, it is characterized by the use of new, more advanced design solutions, materials, and technologies, the performers’ specialization development, and the attendant large number of participants in the technological process. Key role in these conditions gets effective standard operating procedures control, procedures that performed during the railway facilities construction. This can be achieved by improving the existing engineering and technical support system for railway construction by introducing an engineering and intellectual support subsystem for the technological processes of railway facilities construction. One of the tasks of technological processes engineering and intellectual support is the effective use of automated systems with artificial intelligence elements. Creation and implementation of automated systems with artificial intelligence elements are focused on achieving a single final result: a finished railway track facility of the corresponding functional purpose within the established deadlines planned prime cost and labor contribution and also up to date safety requirements throughout the entire operation period. Within the scope of the methodology formation for engineering and intellectual support of railway construction technological processes, the stages of constructive solutions technological substantiation for railway objects were considered, and the railway construction technological features were determined. The procedure for the railway track object decomposition into structural elements is described here. The results obtained at the decomposition stage made it possible to determine the possibilities of using expert systems to develop a technological process for the railway track object construction. With account taken of special factors relating to formalization series of tasks at hand. By the aid of the expert system, which was built based on the knowledge representation production model, was developed and described methodology for generating a construction works nomenclature. Based on theoretical research results, practical aspects of the technological substantiation implementation of design solutions using an expert system were presented here through the example of the railway roadbed flooded carn construction. During dissertation research done by the author, were obtained results that were presented in this article.

This special issue of TPLP commemorates the 25th edition of the annual conference organized by GULP (Gruppo Ricercatori e Utenti Logic Programming), the Italian group of researchers and users of logic programming. The first event in this series was held at Genoa in 1986, one year after the foundation of the user group, continuing annually ever since. In 1994, the conference joined forces with the Spanish conference PRODE (on Declarative Programming), and in 1996 with the Portuguese APPIA (on Artificial Intelligence). This collaboration continued until 2003. Starting from 2004, the event became known as CILC (Convegno Italiano di Logica Computazionale, Italian Conference on Computational Logic), thereby broadening its topics to general computational logic, while becoming a national Italian event again. Being one of the oldest and largest national events of its kind, over the years the conference has been an important networking opportunity and catalyst for persons with different backgrounds, coming from theory and practice, and from research and industry, for exchanging their visions, achievements, and challenges in logic programming. For a more detailed historical account on GULP and its annual conferences, we refer to Rossi (2010).
