Separating data and control planes by Software-Defined Networking (SDN) not only handles networks centrally and smartly. However, through implementing innovative protocols by centralized controllers, it also contributes flexibility to computer networks. The Internet-of-Things (IoT) and the implementation of 5G have increased the number of heterogeneous connected devices, creating a huge amount of data. Hence, the incorporation of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning is significant. Thanks to SDN controllers, which are programmable and versatile enough to incorporate machine learning algorithms to handle the underlying networks while keeping the network abstracted from controller applications. In this chapter, a software-defined networking management system powered by AI (SDNMS-PAI) is proposed for end-to-end (E2E) heterogeneous networks. By applying artificial intelligence to the controller, we will demonstrate this regarding E2E resource management. SDNMS-PAI provides an architecture with a global view of the underlying network and manages the E2E heterogeneous networks with AI learning.

BACKGROUND Artificial intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Intelligent Things (IIoT) are promising technologies to prevent the concerningly rapid spread of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) and to maximize safety during the pandemic. With the exponential increase in the number of COVID-19 patients, it is highly possible that physicians and health care workers will not be able to treat all cases. Thus, computer scientists can contribute to the fight against COVID-19 by introducing more intelligent solutions to achieve rapid control of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the virus that causes the disease. OBJECTIVE The objectives of this review were to analyze the current literature, discuss the applicability of reported ideas for using AI to prevent and control COVID-19, and build a comprehensive view of how current systems may be useful in particular areas. This may be of great help to many health care administrators, computer scientists, and policy makers worldwide. METHODS We conducted an electronic search of articles in the MEDLINE, Google Scholar, Embase, and Web of Knowledge databases to formulate a comprehensive review that summarizes different categories of the most recently reported AI-based approaches to prevent and control the spread of COVID-19. RESULTS Our search identified the 10 most recent AI approaches that were suggested to provide the best solutions for maximizing safety and preventing the spread of COVID-19. These approaches included detection of suspected cases, large-scale screening, monitoring, interactions with experimental therapies, pneumonia screening, use of the IIoT for data and information gathering and integration, resource allocation, predictions, modeling and simulation, and robotics for medical quarantine. CONCLUSIONS We found few or almost no studies regarding the use of AI to examine COVID-19 interactions with experimental therapies, the use of AI for resource allocation to COVID-19 patients, or the use of AI and the IIoT for COVID-19 data and information gathering/integration. Moreover, the adoption of other approaches, including use of AI for COVID-19 prediction, use of AI for COVID-19 modeling and simulation, and use of AI robotics for medical quarantine, should be further emphasized by researchers because these important approaches lack sufficient numbers of studies. Therefore, we recommend that computer scientists focus on these approaches, which are still not being adequately addressed.

This paper summarizes the arguments and counterarguments within the scientific discussion on the issue of forecasting tourism demand and touristic flows. During COVID-19 tourism sphere suffered a lot in the whole world. Many countries try to do forecasts and make recovery plans for tourism. Tourism has been a growing sphere in Armenia in recent years. However, the number of incoming tourists decreased by 80 percent because of the pandemic. The main purpose of the research is to forecast tourism demand in the Republic of Armenia. Systematization of scientific sources and approaches for solving the problem identified many methods and models for doing forecasts. The variables used to depend on the method selected. For gaining the research goal, the study was carried out in the following logical sequence: 1) discussion on some literature sources; 2) analysis of the current situation of tourism in Armenia; 3) interpretation of forecast results; 4) providing some recommendations. The methodological tool of the research was mainly the ARIMA method. The data rest on the publications of the Statistical Committee of the Republic of Armenia. Time series for the number of incoming tourists include from 2001-Q1 till 2019-Q4 data. 2020 was not included in the model, as there was a sharp decline. Besides, in the second quarter of 2020, there were no tourists at all because of restrictions and flight cancellations. The obtained data show that if there were no pandemic, the number of incoming tourists would increase on average by 12.81% in 2021, 13.42% – in 2022, and 13.66% – in 2023. The results are realistic. The tourism sphere is expected to grow in 2021. This paper suggested some steps for recovering and restoring tourism, particularly by using aggressive marketing strategies, word-of-mouth, influencer marketing, etc. The research results could be useful for state organs of the sphere to forecast their strategic policies. The applied approach and suggestions may be helpful in many countries which try to restart tourism after the pandemic.

The aim of the work is to study the criminal policy in relation to crimes committed using technologies based on artificial intelligence algorithms. The varieties of these crimes are described: phishing, the use of drones, the synthesis of fake information, attacks through automated autonomous systems and bots. Given the fact that artificial intelligence technologies are capable of self-learning and independent actions without direct human intervention and control, the key issue in the criminal policy regarding crimes committed using artificial intelligence algorithms is the question of the subject of criminal liability. The concepts existing in official documents and scientific literature are analyzed on this issue, in the development of scientific discussion, it is proposed to update the legal construction of “innocent harm”. The prospects of criminal policy in this direction are indicated in the creation of a fundamentally new variety of blanket norms: from “law as a text” to “law as a code” and its implementation by technological platforms

Abstract As a result of the scientific concerns of the Doctoral School of Mechanical Engineering and Mechatronics at Valahia Târgovişte University in the field of robotics dedicated to security and surveillance, the scientific work "Intelligent Cyber- Mixmechatronic Micro-System for Monitoring and Controlling the Security and Surveillance Robots" is in the testing and experimentation phase, within the doctoral (industrial) thesis "Studies, research and contributions regarding the realization of a smart mecatronic robot for security and surveillance applications". The scientific work results in a highly efficient cybermixmecatronic system, unique in Romania, which will be used to control the mechatronic security and surveillance robot, respectively the propulsion and control of its displacement. The robot is controlled through Artificial Intelligence, using the Internet of Things (IoT), which is why the Intelligent Motion Control system must be optimized both in terms of response speeds and energy. At the same time, due to the varied and possibly unstable conditions of the displacement field, the system must meet stringent criteria of reliability, resilience, weather, stability and redundant solutions for on-site repair of potential failures during missions. The cybermixmecatronic system designed to move the robot must carry it safely at the mission site so that it can then return it back to the Command and Control Center. In the paper will be presented the original solution, applicable with minimum of specific modifications (according to the chassis used), to any type of robot requiring both operator-controlled or autoguid control. Thus, a complex project will be realized combining into a unitary Mechatronics, Integronics, Cyber-Mixmechatronics, Artificial Intelligence and Information Technology.
