Opis

This book will present the best practices for designing, implementing, and deploying cyber-physical systems tailored to the needs of smart water grids. These grids can utilize the intelligence, autonomy, and adaptability offered by CPS for data on consumption, new alternatives for water treatment and reusability, and the impacts of climate change on water sources and urban infrastructure. It will examine topics such as smart sensing, distributed processing, networked control, enabling technologies, and heterogeneous networked topologies, and will also include case studies which will cover different aspects of the water life cycle, such as desalination, distribution, treatment, and recycling.

He is a Professor and the Chairman of the Computer Science Department at the University of Crete, and the Head of the Signal Processing Laboratory at the Institute of Computer Science (FORTH-ICS). He has coauthored over 150 technical publications in these areas, including 30 journal papers. He also has extended experience with transferring research and interacting with the industry. Dr. Athanasia Panousopoulou received her PhD in Electrical and Computing Engineering from the University of Patras, Greece. Athanasia has 10-years of expertise with the design and deployment of wireless sensor networks and CPS in hostile and RF-harsh environments. She is a chartered engineer from the Technical Chamber of Greece since 2004, a member of IEEE, and she is serving as a reviewer in numerous research forums, edited by IEEE and Springer. Dr. Grigorios Tsagkatakis received his Ph.D. in Imaging Science from the Rochester Institute of Technology, New York. He was a Marie Curie post-doctoral fellow at the Institute of Computer Science (ICS), FORTH and is currently working as a research associate with the Signal Processing Laboratory at FORTH-ICS. He has co-authored more than 30 peer-reviewed conferences, journals and book chapters in the areas of signal and image processing, wireless sensor networks and machine learning. Dr. Luis Montestruque, EmNet LLC, is the President and Chief Technology Officer for EmNet, LLC. He earned his Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering at the University of Notre Dame in 2004. With over 15 years of experience in industrial CPS, his experience spans from theoretical research of large dynamical systems to implementation of water-related real time control systems. He has led the design and implementation of CPS in more than a dozen cities across the United States.
