This three-volume set of books highlights major advances in the development of concepts and
techniques in the area of new technologies and architectures of contemporary information
systems. Further it helps readers solve specific research and analytical problems and glean
useful knowledge and business value from the data. Each chapter provides an analysis of a
specific technical problem followed by a numerical analysis simulation and implementation of
the solution to the real-life problem. Managing an organisation especially in today's rapidly
changing circumstances is a very complex process. Increased competition in the marketplace
especially as a result of the massive and successful entry of foreign businesses into domestic
markets changes in consumer behaviour and broader access to new technologies and information
calls for organisational restructuring and the introduction and modification of management
methods using the latest advances in science. This situation has prompted many decision-making
bodies to introduce computer modelling of organisation management systems. The three books
present the peer-reviewed proceedings of the 39th International Conference Information Systems
Architecture and Technology (ISAT) held on September 16-18 2018 in Nysa Poland. The
conference was organised by the Computer Science and Management Systems Departments Faculty of
Computer Science and Management Wroclaw University of Technology and Sciences and University
of Applied Sciences in Nysa Poland. The papers have been grouped into three major parts: Part
I-discusses topics including but not limited to Artificial Intelligence Methods Knowledge
Discovery and Data Mining Big Data Knowledge Based Management Internet of Things Cloud
Computing and High Performance Computing Distributed Computer Systems Content Delivery
Networks and Service Oriented Computing. Part II-addresses topics including but not limited to
System Modelling for Control Recognition and Decision Support Mathematical Modelling in
Computer System Design Service Oriented Systems and Cloud Computing and Complex Process
Modelling. Part III-focuses on topics including but not limited to Knowledge Based Management
Modelling of Financial and Investment Decisions Modelling of Managerial Decisions Production
Systems Management and Maintenance Risk Management Small Business Management and Theories
and Models of Innovation.
