Before the UN Sustainable Development Goals
This volume examines the legacies and historical context of the UN Sustainable Development Goals. The complex background of relationships, actors, and institutions of the several goals are explored in detail by international experts from a range of disciplines.
Computational Intelligence for Engineering and Management Applications
This book comprises select proceedings of the 1st International Conference on Computational Intelligence for Engineering and Management Applications (CIEMA - 2022). This book emphasizes applications of computational intelligence including machine intelligence, data analytics, and optimization algorithms for solving fundamental and advanced engineering and management problems. This book serves as a valuable resource for researchers, industry professionals, academicians, and doctoral scholars in engineering, production, thermal, materials, design, computer engineering, natural sciences, and management who work on computational intelligence. The book also serves researchers who are willing to use computational intelligence algorithms in real-time applications.
Data Management, Analytics and Innovation
This book presents the latest findings in the areas of data management and smart computing, machine learning, big data management, artificial intelligence, and data analytics, along with advances in network technologies. The book is a collection of peer-reviewed research papers presented at Fifth International Conference on Data Management, Analytics and Innovation (ICDMAI 2021), held during January 15–17, 2021, in a virtual mode. It addresses state-of-the-art topics and discusses challenges and solutions for future development. Gathering original, unpublished contributions by scientists from around the globe, the book is mainly intended for a professional audience of researchers and practitioners in academia and industry.
Global Urban Growth
This book examines the rapid expansion of urban areas worldwide, especially within the previous 50 years, identifying the factors that have contributed to this phenomenon and exploring its many consequences. Global Urban Growth: A Reference Handbook examines urbanization and the challenges associated with rapid urban growth and urban sprawl from a truly global perspective, rather than presenting only a limited exploration of the subject by addressing a single city, country, or region. Investigating urbanization and related policy challenges as both a general phenomenon of all modern societies and one that varies greatly in different regions of the world, the book charts different growth traj...
A History of Energy Flows
This book presents a global and historical perspective of energy flows during the last millennium. The search for sustainable energy is a key issue dominating today’s energy regime. This book details the historical evolution of energy, following the overlapping and slow flowing transitions from one regime to another. In doing so it seeks to provide insight into future energy transitions and the means of utilizing sustainable energy sources to reduce humanity’s fossil fuel footprint. The book begins with an examination of the earliest and most basic forms of energy use, namely, that of humans metabolizing food in order to work, with the first transition following the domestication and bre...
Data-Driven Optimization of Manufacturing Processes
All machining process are dependent on a number of inherent process parameters. It is of the utmost importance to find suitable combinations to all the process parameters so that the desired output response is optimized. While doing so may be nearly impossible or too expensive by carrying out experiments at all possible combinations, it may be done quickly and efficiently by using computational intelligence techniques. Due to the versatile nature of computational intelligence techniques, they can be used at different phases of the machining process design and optimization process. While powerful machine-learning methods like gene expression programming (GEP), artificial neural network (ANN),...
Recent Advances in Manufacturing, Automation, Design and Energy Technologies
This book comprises the proceedings of the 1st International Conference on Future Technologies in Manufacturing, Automation, Design and Energy 2020. The contents of this volume focus on recent technological advances in the field of manufacturing, automation, design and energy. Some of the topics covered include additive manufacturing, renewable energy resources, design automation, process automation and monitoring, etc. This volume will prove a valuable resource for those in academia and industry.
Advanced Multi-Criteria Decision Making for Addressing Complex Sustainability Issues
Sustainability issues have gained more importance in contemporary globalization, pushing decision makers to find a systematic mathematical approach to conduct analyses of this real-world problem. The growing complexity in modern social-economics or engineering environments or systems has forced researchers to solve complicated problems by using multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) approaches. However, traditional MCDM research mainly focuses on reaching the highest economic value or efficiency, and issues related to sustainability are still not closely explored. Advanced Multi-Criteria Decision Making for Addressing Complex Sustainability Issues discusses and addresses the challenges in the...
