DESCRIPTION:In this rapidly changing world\, evolving technologies such as 
 Artificial Intelligence\, Robotics\, Machine Learning\, Cloud Computing\, 
 Big Data\, the Internet of Things\, and Mobile Computing are combining to 
 disrupt traditional models and radically change how we live\, work\, and i
 nteract. More importantly\, these technologies change the way we live and 
 do business: the world’s largest bookstore is a Cloud Computing provider
 \, and the largest fleet of cars in the world is operated by an app provid
 er. Areas such as healthcare have been transformed dramatically\, with bet
 ter analysis\, imaging\, detection\, diagnosis\, treatment\, robot-assiste
 d surgery\, and even significant advances in sharing health records. We ea
 gerly await the day when cars\, buses\, trucks\, and railways are self-dri
 ven\, and Industry 4.0 is already upon us\, and of course we claim the use
  of AI in just about everything. All of these advances are entirely depend
 ent on software. We ask the question: is there anything that isn’t softw
 are?\n\nCo-sponsored by: Riga Technical University\, RTU Institute of Info

 technologies such as Artificial Intelligence\, Robotics\, Machine Learning
 \, Cloud Computing\, Big Data\, the Internet of Things\, and Mobile Comput

 e live\, work\, and interact. More importantly\, these technologies change
  the way we live and do business: the world&rsquo\;s largest bookstore is 
 a Cloud Computing provider\, and the largest fleet of cars in the world is
  operated by an app provider. Areas such as healthcare have been transform
 ed dramatically\, with better analysis\, imaging\, detection\, diagnosis\,
  treatment\, robot-assisted surgery\, and even significant advances in sha
 ring health records. We eagerly await the day when cars\, buses\, trucks\,
  and railways are self-driven\, and Industry 4.0 is already upon us\, and 
 of course we claim the use of AI in just about everything. All of these ad
