Advances in Mathematical Modeling for Reliability

  • Type: Book
  • -
  • Published: 2008
  • -
  • Publisher: IOS Press

Discusses fundamental issues on mathematical modeling in reliability theory and its applications. Beginning with a discussion of graphical modeling and Bayesian networks, this work then focuses on repairable systems. It also addresses how competing risks arise in reliability and maintenance analysis through the ways in which data is censored.

Uncertain Judgements

Elicitation is the process of extracting expert knowledge about some unknown quantity or quantities, and formulating that information as a probability distribution. Elicitation is important in situations, such as modelling the safety of nuclear installations or assessing the risk of terrorist attacks, where expert knowledge is essentially the only source of good information. It also plays a major role in other contexts by augmenting scarce observational data, through the use of Bayesian statistical methods. However, elicitation is not a simple task, and practitioners need to be aware of a wide range of research findings in order to elicit expert judgements accurately and reliably. Uncertain ...

Digital Twin Technologies and Smart Cities

  • Type: Book
  • -
  • Published: 2019-07-22
  • -
  • Publisher: Springer

This book provides a holistic perspective on Digital Twin (DT) technologies, and presents cutting-edge research in the field. It assesses the opportunities that DT can offer for smart cities, and covers the requirements for ensuring secure, safe and sustainable smart cities. Further, the book demonstrates that DT and its benefits with regard to: data visualisation, real-time data analytics, and learning leading to improved confidence in decision making; reasoning, monitoring and warning to support accurate diagnostics and prognostics; acting using edge control and what-if analysis; and connection with back-end business applications hold significant potential for applications in smart cities,...

Principles of Risk Analysis

  • Type: Book

  • Publisher: CRC Press

In every decision context there are things we know and things we do not know. Risk analysis uses science and the best available evidence to assess what we know-and it is intentional in the way it addresses the importance of the things we don't know. Principles of Risk Analysis: Decision Making Under Uncertainty lays out the tasks of risk analysis i

Proceedings of the 1st International Conference on Innovation in Information Technology and Business (ICIITB 2022)

This is an open access book.The First International Conference on Innovation in information technology and business (ICIITB) will be taking place in Muscat, Oman, on November 9th and 10th, 2022. The Conference will be carried out in a hybrid format, allowing world-scattered academicians, researchers, and industry professionals to participate in this unique Conference for Oman and the GCC region. The participants of the Conference will get an opportunity to contribute to the contemporary implementation of cutting-edge research and development in the area of artificial intelligence, data science, machine learning, and the IoT in the business environment. The participants will get a first-of-a-kind networking and knowledge sharing opportunity to be a part of an event in Oman, that will gather recognized researchers from the GCC, Europe, the USA, and other parts of the World. Select research papers will also be published in a Springer-published Conference proceedings.

Governing Smart Cities as Knowledge Commons

  • Categories: Law

The rise of 'smart' – or technologically advanced – cities has been well documented, while governance of such technology has remained unresolved. Integrating surveillance, AI, automation, and smart tech within basic infrastructure as well as public and private services and spaces raises a complex set of ethical, economic, political, social, and technological questions. The Governing Knowledge Commons (GKC) framework provides a descriptive lens through which to structure case studies examining smart tech deployment and commons governance in different cities. This volume deepens our understanding of community governance institutions, the social dilemmas communities face, and the dynamic relationships between data, technology, and human lives. For students, professors, and practitioners of law and policy dealing with a wide variety of planning, design, and regulatory issues relating to cities, these case studies illustrate options to develop best practice. Available through Open Access, the volume provides detailed guidance for communities deploying smart tech.
