This book presents select proceedings of the International Conference on Science, Technology and Engineering (ICSTE 2023) related to recent advances in Civil Engineering. The book provides a comprehensive collection of cutting-edge research that covers the areas of building construction and design, construction materials, construction management, remote sensing, geographical information systems, environmental engineering, etc. The book is useful for researchers and professionals in civil engineering.

Far from being separate entities, many social and engineering systems can be considered as complex network systems (CNSs) associated with closely linked interactions with neighbouring entities such as the Internet and power grids. Roughly speaking, a CNS refers to a networking system consisting of lots of interactional individuals, exhibiting fascinating collective behaviour that cannot always be anticipated from the inherent properties of the individuals themselves.

As one of the most fundamental examples of cooperative behaviour, consensus within CNSs (or the...

Gathering the proceedings of the 14th CHAOS2021 International Conference, this book highlights recent developments in nonlinear, dynamical and complex systems. The conference was intended to provide an essential forum for Scientists and Engineers to exchange ideas, methods, and techniques in the field of Nonlinear Dynamics, Chaos, Fractals and their applications in General Science and the Engineering Sciences.

The respective chapters address key methods, empirical data and computer techniques, as well as major theoretical advances in the applied nonlinear field. Beyond showcasing...

The book includes papers about various problems of dependable operation of computer systems and networks, which were presented during the 18^th DepCoS-RELCOMEX conference. Their collection can be an interesting source material for scientists, researchers, practitioners, and students who are dealing with design, analysis, and engineering of computer systems and networks and must ensure their dependable operation.

The increasing role of artificial intelligence algorithms and tools in modern information technology and computer engineering,...

The 2nd edition of this book provides novel topics and studyies in boundaries of networks and Big Data Systems.The central theme of this book is the extent to which the structure of the free dynamical boundaries of a system controls the evolution of the system as a whole. Applying three orthogonal types of thinking - mathematical, constructivist and morphological, it illustrates these concepts using applications to selected problems from the social and life sciences, as well as economics.

In a broader context, it introduces and reviews some modern mathematical approaches to the...

This book contains all refereed papers accepted during the 14th International Conference on Complex Systems Design & Management CSD&M 2023 that took place in Beijing, People’s Republic of China by the end October 2023.

Mastering complex systems requires an integrated understanding of industrial practices as well as sophisticated theoretical techniques and tools. This explains the creation of an annual go-between European and Asian forum dedicated to academic researchers and industrial actors working on complex industrial systems architecting, modeling...

​This concise textbook introduces a systems approach to technology, describing tribological, mechatronic, cyber-physical systems, and the technologic concept of Industry 4.0 to students in a range of engineering domains. “Technology” in this book refers to the totality of human-made, benefit-oriented products, based on engineered combinations of material, energy and information. Dr. Czichos examines technology in this volume in the context of systems thinking with regard to the following main technology areas

Given the nature of this book proposal, linked with some Masters, and the faster pace of digital technologies evolution, the new version will have an entire new content with new cases and insights regarding the development and implementation of the most interesting digital technologies.

Digital transformation marks a rethinking of how an organization uses technology, people, and processes in pursuit of new business models and new revenue streams, driven by changes in customer expectations around products and services.

For many enterprises that...
