Artificial intelligence is a branch of science and technology that has been used effectively over the decades in various fields, and now it has become an indispensable part of organizational practices as it is one of the leading technologies in the current era, and now there is an emerging trend of applying AI technologies within the businesses. The central necessity of human resource management is also majorly based on technological approaches as it became a potential need for any human resources department to perform its role in the development of the whole organization. Technologies based on AI are and will be the smart system of the future and it's also changing the processes of human resource management by making it more dependent on advanced technologies. Through the chapter, the researcher will get to know the artificial technologies being practiced in HR practices and explore the probable and potential of technicality of AI in HRM and also the challenges associated with AI in HRM and its future possibilities.

Over the last 50 years, remarkable improvements in mechanical and barrier properties of polymer composites have been realized. Their improved properties have been widely studied and employed for food packaging to keep food fresh, clean and suitable for consumption over sufficiently long storage period. In this paper, the current progress of science and technology development of polymer composites for intelligent food packaging will be highlighted. Future directions and perspectives for exploring polymer composites for intelligent food packaging to reveal freshness and quality of food packaged will also be put forward.

In this paper, the authors describe the Visual Analytics Science and Technology (VAST) Symposium contests run in 2006 and 2007 and the VAST 2008 and 2009 challenges. These contests were designed to provide researchers with a better understanding of the tasks and data that face potential end users. Access to these end users is limited because of time constraints and the classified nature of the tasks and data. In that respect, the contests serve as an intermediary, with the metrics and feedback serving as measures of utility to the end users. The authors summarize the lessons learned and the future directions for VAST Challenges.

The program starts on Sunday (August 8th) with two panel discussion sessions, one on “Energy, Environment and Economy” and the other one on “Energy and Education” where current challenges, potential solutions, opportunities and future directions are discussed by the leading experts. The program opens its technical sessions on Monday with the formal opening talks where the TUBA President, Minister of Industry and Technology, and Minister of Energy and Natural Resources deliver their speeches. The program continues with 29 plenary/ keynote speakers, 27 invited speakers and over 121 general speakers on four days which make an exceptionally designed conference in the area of energy science and technology. It then ends on Thursday (August 12th) with a panel discussion session and closing remarks. Furthermore, there are general sessions where many research talks are delivered by researchers, scientists, engineers, and technologists to disseminate high-quality research results and present new findings. Local and global online participations are expected from academia, government agencies, and industry to bring all players together, and the conference is then expected to lead to effective and fruitful discussions and collaborations among these attendants from different disciplines, institutes, and sectors from all over the world. Moreover, it is planned to have some special issues in various reputable international journals to publish high-quality papers out of the conference.

The purpose of this paper is to identify 1) promising future directions for the development of educational technology, and 2) who should carry out the needed research and development. Principal recommendations include: intelligent drill and practice, simulations that teach procedural skills, generic videodiscs, lessons for libraries and science and technology museums, adaptive tests, programs for teachers and parents, programs that teach technology related skills, intellectual tools for students, and computer networks for education. These tasks should be undertaken by centers that are publicly and privately supported.
