European Workshop On Intelligent Forecasting Diagnosis And Control

This book, published in two volumes, embodies the proceedings of the 15th European Workshop on Advanced Control and Diagnosis (ACD 2019) held in Bologna, Italy, in November 2019. It features contributed and invited papers from academics and professionals specializing in an important aspect of control and automation. The book discusses current theoretical research developments and open problems and illustrates practical applications and industrial priorities. With a focus on both theory and applications, it spans a wide variety of up-to-date topics in the field of systems and control, including robust control, adaptive control, fault-tolerant control, control reconfiguration, and model-based diagnosis of linear, nonlinear and hybrid systems. As the subject coverage has expanded to include cyber-physical production systems, industrial internet of things and sustainability issues, some contributions are of an interdisciplinary nature, involving ICT disciplines and environmental sciences. This book is a valuable reference for both academics and professionals in the area of systems and control, with a focus on advanced control, automation, fault diagnosis and condition monitoring.

This edited volume contains research results presented at the 12th International Symposium Continuous Surface Mining, ISCSM Aachen 2014. The target audience primarily comprises researchers in the lignite mining industry and practitioners in this field but the book may also be beneficial for graduate students.

Part of a four-volume set, this book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 7th International Conference on Computational Science, ICCS 2007, held in Beijing, China in May 2007. The papers cover a large volume of topics in computational science and related areas, from multiscale physics to wireless networks, and from graph theory to tools for program development.

Today’s manufacturing systems are undergoing significant changes in the aspects of planning, production execution, and delivery. It is imperative to stay up-to-date on the latest trends in optimization to efficiently create products for the market. The Handbook of Research on Applied Optimization Methodologies in Manufacturing Systems is a pivotal reference source including the latest scholarly research on heuristic models for solving manufacturing and supply chain related problems. Featuring exhaustive coverage on a broad range of topics such as assembly ratio, car sequencing, and color constraints, this publication is ideally designed for practitioners seeking new comprehensive models for problem solving in manufacturing and supply chain management.

The aim of this volume is to show how Fuzzy Sets and Systems can help to provide robust and adaptive heuristic optimization algorithms in a variety of situations. The book presents the state of the art and gives a broad overview on the real practical applications that Fuzzy Sets, based on heuristic algorithms, have.
