Advances in Aeronautical Informatics: Technologies Towards Flight 4.0
by Jürgen Becker Nikolaos S. Voros Umut Durak Sven HartmannThe first publication to offer perspectives on this new, interdisciplinary research area.<p><p>introduces the emerging concept of Flight 4.0<p>Discusses advances in information and communication technologies, as well as aeronautics.<p> The history of flight started with the pioneer era. The introduction of mechanical controls (including hydraulics) then led to the second era. Later, with the utilization of computers and automation in aircraft, we reached the third era. Now, we are moving towards the fourth era of flight, namely Flight 4.0, which is characterized by “smart” and “connected” aircraft that extensively exploit emerging information and communication technologies.<p> Aeronautical informatics is advancing rapidly through the synergy between information and communication technologies and aeronautics. Multi-core avionic platforms, wireless avionics networking, service-oriented architectures and IoT, data sciences and semantic infrastructures are shaping systems to come. Increasing autonomy requirements are challenging the community to investigate new ways to assure safety. Modern software engineering methodologies and real-time software techniques are altering the established development practice. Universities are starting to align their aerospace engineering and computer science curriculums in order to address this synergy.<p> This book is a unique compilation of advancements in aeronautical informatics, introducing the changing technology landscape of flight with respect to a new push in information and communication technology.

Advances in Applications of Data-Driven Computing (Advances in Intelligent Systems and Computing #1319)
by Jagdish Chand Bansal Lance C. C. Fung Milan Simic Ankush GhoshThis book aims to foster machine and deep learning approaches to data-driven applications, in which data governs the behaviour of applications. Applications of Artificial intelligence (AI)-based systems play a significant role in today’s software industry. The sensors data from hardware-based systems making a mammoth database, increasing day by day. Recent advances in big data generation and management have created an avenue for decision-makers to utilize these huge volumes of data for different purposes and analyses. AI-based application developers have long utilized conventional machine learning techniques to design better user interfaces and vulnerability predictions. However, with the advancement of deep learning-based and neural-based networks and algorithms, researchers are able to explore and learn more about data and their exposed relationships or hidden features. This new trend of developing data-driven application systems seeks the adaptation of computational neural network algorithms and techniques in many application domains, including software systems, cyber security, human activity recognition, and behavioural modelling. As such, computational neural networks algorithms can be refined to address problems in data-driven applications. Original research and review works with model and build data-driven applications using computational algorithm are included as chapters in this book.

Advances in Applied Self-Organizing Systems (Advanced Information and Knowledge Processing)
by Mikhail ProkopenkoHow do we design a self-organizing system? Is it possible to validate and control non-deterministic dynamics? What is the right balance between the emergent patterns that bring robustness, adaptability and scalability, and the traditional need for verification and validation of the outcomes? The last several decades have seen much progress from original ideas of "emergent functionality" and "design for emergence", to sophisticated mathematical formalisms of "guided self-organization". And yet the main challenge remains, attracting the best scientific and engineering expertise to this elusive problem. This book presents state-of-the-practice of successfully engineered self-organizing systems, and examines ways to balance design and self-organization in the context of applications. As demonstrated in this second edition of Advances in Applied Self-Organizing Systems, finding this balance helps to deal with practical challenges as diverse as navigation of microscopic robots within blood vessels, self-monitoring aerospace vehicles, collective and modular robotics adapted for autonomous reconnaissance and surveillance, self-managing grids and multiprocessor scheduling, data visualization and self-modifying digital and analog circuitry, intrusion detection in computer networks, reconstruction of hydro-physical fields, traffic management, immunocomputing and nature-inspired computation. Many algorithms proposed and discussed in this volume are biologically inspired, and the reader will also gain an insight into cellular automata, genetic algorithms, artificial immune systems, snake-like locomotion, ant foraging, birds flocking, neuromorphic circuits, amongst others. Demonstrating the practical relevance and applicability of self-organization, Advances in Applied Self-Organizing Systems will be an invaluable tool for advanced students and researchers in a wide range of fields.
