The philosophy of pragmatism advances an evolutionary, learning-oriented perspective that is problem-driven, reflexive, and deliberative.
Edge AI is the seamless and spontaneous combination of Edge or Fog computing and AI. It enables acquiring real-time insights, which, in turn, leads to the realization of real-time, people-centric, event-driven, business-critical, process-aware, and knowledge-filled software services and applications. Edge AI for Industry 5.0 and Healthcare 5.0 Applications looks at the unique contributions of Edge AI for developing solutions for Industry 5.0 and Healthcare 5.0. It explains how Industry 5.0 fine tunes the human-machine connection and leverages tiny, high-performance AI-centric processors in IoT edge devices for real-time decision-making and application processing. Focusing on Explainable AI (...
Solar Energy Engineering and Applications gives a general and concise presentation of solar energy from a practical engineering perspective. The book provides readers with a comprehensive, accessible, and intuitive introduction to proven methods and tools for the design, implementation, and monitoring of solar energy systems and associated auxiliary technologies without covering detailed in-depth physics. Coverage includes key aspects of solar energy such as photovoltaic solar cells and systems, battery technologies, solar concentrators, and hybrid photovoltaic/thermal systems. Application areas such as homes, buildings, solar farms, street lighting, vehicles, and dryers are discussed. The methods for connecting solar farms and other photovoltaic installations to power distribution systems are explored in the context of smart grid technologies that are available to facilitate such connections. The book will be a valuable professional reference for practicing engineers and researchers involved in the applications of solar energy.
This book presents a comprehensive documentation of the scientific outcome of 14 satellite events held at the 13th International Conference on Model-Driven Engineering, Languages and Systems, MODELS 2010, held in Oslo, Norway, in October 2010. Besides the 21 revised best papers selected from 12 topically focused workshops, the post-proceedings also covers the doctoral symposium and the educators symposium; each of the 14 satellite events covered is introduced by a summary of the respective organizers. All relevant current aspects in model-based systems design and analysis are addressed. This book is the companion of the MODELS 2010 main conference proceedings LNCS 6394/6395.
Over the last two decades, Digital Twins (DTs) have become the intelligent representation of future development in industrial production and daily life. Consisting of over 50 chapters by more than 100 contributors, this comprehensive handbook explains the concept, architecture, design specification and application scenarios of DTs. As a virtual model of a process, product or service to pair the virtual and physical worlds, DTs allow data analysis and system monitoring by using simulations. The fast-growing technology has been widely studied and developed in recent years. Featured with centralization, integrity and dynamics, it is cost-effective to drive innovation and performance. Many field...
The built environment has been digitizing rapidly and is now transforming into a physical world that is at all times supplemented by a fully web-supported and interconnected digital version, often referred to as Digital Twin. This book shows how diverse data models and web technologies can be created and used for the built environment. Key features of this book are its technical nature and technical detail. The first part of the book highlights a large diversity of IT techniques and their use in the AEC domain, from JSON to XML to EXPRESS to RDF/OWL, for modelling geometry, products, properties, sensor and energy data. The second part of the book focuses on diverse software solutions and approaches, including digital twins, federated data storage on the web, IoT, cloud computing, and smart cities. Key research and strategic development opportunities are comprehensively discussed for distributed web-based building data management, IoT integration and cloud computing. This book aims to serve as a guide and reference for experts and professionals in AEC computing and digital construction including Master's students, PhD researchers, and junior to senior IT-oriented AEC professionals.
This book includes a set of rigorously reviewed world-class manuscripts addressing and detailing state-of-the-art research projects in the areas of Industrial Electronics, Technology, Automation, Telecommunications and Networking. The book includes selected papers from the conference proceedings of the International Conference on Industrial Electronics, Technology, Automation (IETA 2006) and International Conference on Telecommunications and Networking (TeNe 06).
This open access book explores the concept of Industry 4.0, which presents a considerable challenge for the production and service sectors. While digitization initiatives are usually integrated into the central corporate strategy of larger companies, smaller firms often have problems putting Industry 4.0 paradigms into practice. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) possess neither the human nor financial resources to systematically investigate the potential and risks of introducing Industry 4.0. Addressing this obstacle, the international team of authors focuses on the development of smart manufacturing concepts, logistics solutions and managerial models specifically for SMEs. Aiming to provide methodological frameworks and pilot solutions for SMEs during their digital transformation, this innovative and timely book will be of great use to scholars researching technology management, digitization and small business, as well as practitioners within manufacturing companies.
This proceeding contains the cutting-edge research results in information science and technology, and their related technology. Recent scientific breakthroughs such as invisibility cloak and meta-materials, data mining techniques, advanced game playing in artificial intelligence, nano-technology, unlikely event probability, and fuzzy logic reasoning are just a few outstanding examples. Walter Freeman's 80th birthday celebration is another highlight of this proceedings, because this major event is attended by many leading scientists from around the world. Key speakers include Charles Falco, Water Freeman, Thomas Huang, Meyya Meyyappan, Lotfi Zadeh, Bernette Bouchon Meunier, Heather Carlson, Ling Guan, Etienne Kerre and John Mordes.
