This book highlights the developments, discoveries, and practical and advanced experiences related to responsive distributed computing and how it can support the deployment of trajectory-based applications in smart systems. Smart Trajectories: Metamodeling, Reactive Architecture for Analytics and Smart Applications deals with the representation and manipulation of smart trajectories in various applications and scenarios. Presented in three parts, the book first discusses the foundation and principles for spatial information systems, complex event processing, and building a reactive architecture. Next, the book discusses modeling and architecture in relation to smart trajectory metamodeling, ...
Geographic Information Systems are computer-based systems for geographic analysis. They have been developed over the past twenty five years and are now widely used. A recent research direction has been the development of geocomputation , representing computer-based geographical analysis beyond the traditional bounds of GIS. In geocomputation, the computer is the research environment itself, not merely a tool. A key to geocomputation it that highly powered computing can be used with sufficient data to avaid traditional parametric approaches altogether. The term geocomputation includes the use of computer-based techniques such as artificial neural networks, genetic programming and fuzzy logic, but in a geographical context. This new book in the prestigious Innovations in GIS series, presents the latest research in geocomputational techniques as presented in the GIS UK Annual Conference.
This book addresses a broad range of topics concerning machine learning, big data, the Internet of things (IoT), and security in the IoT. Its goal is to bring together several innovative studies on these areas, in order to help researchers, engineers, and designers in several interdisciplinary domains pursue related applications. It presents an overview of the various algorithms used, focusing on the advantages and disadvantages of each in the fields of machine learning and big data. It also covers next-generation computing paradigms that are expected to support wireless networking with high data transfer rates and autonomous decision-making capabilities. In turn, the book discusses IoT appl...
This book gathers best selected research papers presented at the International Conference on Networking, Intelligent Systems and Security, held in Kenitra, Morocco, during 01–02 April 2021. The book highlights latest research and findings in the field of ICT, and it provides new solutions, efficient tools, and techniques that draw on modern technologies to increase urban services. In addition, it provides a critical overview of the status quo, shares new propositions, and outlines future perspectives in networks, smart systems, security, information technologies, and computer science.
In the last few years, logistics has become a strategic factor for development and competition. In fact, research and development activities have traditionally faced the management of supply chain and international transport focussing on two main aspects: speed and efficiency. However, several vulnerabilities have recently been highlighted under a safety and security viewpoint. The weakness of the logistic chains has become more evident with the beginning of the new millennium. Terrorist attacks, such as the 11th of September 2001 in the USA, have caused the introduction of new rules and procedures, which affect the overall logistics showing the vulnerability of the global economy. So, nowadays, it would appear anachronistic to carry out an exhaustive research activity on the supply chain with no relation to the various typologies of risk, which may affect it. This book aims to effectively represent the current status of research on dangerous goods transport.
This book gathers the most recent developments in fuzzy & intelligence systems and real complex systems presented at INFUS 2020, held in Istanbul on July 21–23, 2020. The INFUS conferences are a well-established international research forum to advance the foundations and applications of intelligent and fuzzy systems, computational intelligence, and soft computing, highlighting studies on fuzzy & intelligence systems and real complex systems at universities and international research institutions. Covering a range of topics, including the theory and applications of fuzzy set extensions such as intuitionistic fuzzy sets, hesitant fuzzy sets, spherical fuzzy sets, and fuzzy decision-making; machine learning; risk assessment; heuristics; and clustering, the book is a valuable resource for academics, M.Sc. and Ph.D. students, as well as managers and engineers in industry and the service sectors.
This book addresses the various risks associated with the transport of dangerous goods within a territory. The emphasis of the contributions is on methods and tools to reduce the vulnerability of both the environment and human society to accidents or malicious acts involving such transport. With topics ranging from game theory to governance principles, the authors together cover technical, legal, financial, and logistic aspects of this problem. The intended audience includes responsible persons in territorial organizations, managers of transport infrastructures, as well as students, teachers and researchers wishing to deepen their knowledge in this area.
This proceedings book presents extended versions of papers on advanced intelligent systems for networks and system selected from the second edition of the International Conference on Advanced Intelligent Systems for Sustainable Development (AI2SD’2019), which was held on 8–11 July 2019 in Marrakech, Morocco. The book explores a number of aspects of networks and systems design issues, and focuses on the latest research developments in a number of areas, including various aspects of modern networking such as smart networked systems, network protocols and performance, security and privacy, mobile and wireless systems, Internet of things, artificial intelligence and expert systems, and cloud...
This book presents recent research in intelligent and fuzzy techniques on digital transformation and the new normal, the state to which economies, societies, etc. settle following a crisis bringing us to a new environment. Digital transformation and the new normal-appearing in many areas such as digital economy, digital finance, digital government, digital health, and digital education are the main scope of this book. The readers can benefit from this book for preparing for a digital “new normal” and maintaining a leadership position among competitors in both manufacturing and service companies. Digitizing an industrial company is a challenging process, which involves rethinking established structures, processes, and steering mechanisms presented in this book. The intended readers are intelligent and fuzzy systems researchers, lecturers, M.Sc., and Ph.D. students studying digital transformation and new normal. The book covers fuzzy logic theory and applications, heuristics, and metaheuristics from optimization to machine learning, from quality management to risk management, making the book an excellent source for researchers.
Not until the recent attacks on transport systems has transport security become a focus of public concern and academic research. Various aspects of transport security have already been analysed under different agendas. Some research was focused on the potential risk to the environment resulting from transport, in particular from the transport of hazardous or dangerous goods, while other research considered critical elements of transport networks or supply chains as vital lifelines in the case of natural disasters. Recently, new threats stimulated interest in transport security as a stand-alone issue, placing it at the forefront of political and academic agendas. A NATO Advanced Research Work...
