Integrated Management Systems
by Marek Bugdol Piotr JedynakExamining the challenges of integrated management, this book explores the importance and potential benefits of using an integrated approach as a cross-functional concept of management. It covers not only standardized management systems (e. g. International Organization for Standardization), but also models of self-assessment, as well as different types of integration. Furthermore, it demonstrates how processes and systems can be integrated, and how management efficiency can be increased. The major part of this book focuses on management concepts which use integration as a key tool of management processes (e. g. the systematic approach, supply chain management, virtual and network organizations, processes management and total quality management). Case studies, illustrations, and tables are also provided to exemplify and illuminate the content, as well as examples of successful and failed integrations. Providing a particularly useful resource to managers and specialists involved in the improvement of organizational performance, this book is also intended for top managers, functional managers, project managers, specialists, consultants, and those who wish to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of management. It also offers a helpful guide to academics and students interested in quality and risk management.
Integrated Micro-Ring Photonics: Principles and Applications as Slow Light Devices, Soliton Generation and Optical Transmission
by Iraj Sadegh Amiri Abdolkarim Afroozeh Harith AhmadMicro-ring resonators (MRRs) are employed to generate signals used for optical communication applications, where they can be integrated in a single system. These structures are ideal candidates for very large-scale integrated (VLSI) photonic circuits, since they provide a wide range of optical signal processing functions while being ultra-compact. Soliton pulses have sufficient stability for preservation of their shape and velocity. Technological progress in fields such as tunable narrow band laser systems, multiple transmission, and MRR systems constitute a base for the development of new transmission techniques. Controlling the speed of a light signal has many potential applications in fiber optic communication and quantum computing. The slow light effect has many important applications and is a key technology for all optical networks such as optical signal processing. Generation of slow light in MRRs is based on the nonlinear optical fibers. Slow light can be generated within the micro-ring devices, which will be able to be used with the mobile telephone. Therefore, the message can be kept encrypted via quantum cryptography. Thus perfect security in a mobile telephone network is plausible. This research study involves both numerical experiments and theoretical work based on MRRs for secured communication.
Integrated Networking, Caching, and Computing
by F. Richard Yu Tao Huang Yunjie LiuThis book features the major research advances on integrated networking, caching, and computing. Information-centric networking-based caching is one of the promising techniques for future networks. The cloud computing paradigm has been widely adopted to enable convenient, on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources. In addition, fog/edge computing is proposed to deploy computing resources closer to end devices. From the perspective of applications, network, cache and compute are underlying enabling resources. How to manage, control and optimize these resources can have significant impacts on application performance.

Particular emphasis is given to the ways in which the photonic components are assembled into architectures to address the needs of data-intensive on-chip communication, and to the performance evaluation of such architectures for specific applications.
Integrated Optimization in Public Transport Planning (Springer Optimization and Its Applications #160)
by Philine SchieweThis book is one of the first to include an extensive discussion of integrated public transport planning. In times of growing urban populations and increasing environmental awareness, the importance of optimizing public transport systems is ever-developing. Three different aspects are presented: line planning, timetabling, and vehicle scheduling. Classically, challenges concerning these three aspects of planning are solved sequentially. Due to their high interdependence, the author presents a clear and detailed analysis of innovative, integrated models with accompanied numerical experiments performed to assess, and often support, the benefits of integration. The book will appeal to a wide readership ranging from graduate students to researchers.
Integrated Science: Science Without Borders (Integrated Science #1)
by Nima RezaeiThe “INTEGRATED SCIENCE: Science without Borders” is the first volume of INTEGRATED SCIENCE Book series, aims to publish the results of the most update ideas and reviews in transdisciplinarity fields, to highlight integration of different disciplines, including formal sciences, physical-chemical sciences and engineering, biological sciences, medical sciences, and social sciences. This is especially focused on the research involving the integration of two of more academic fields offering an innovative view, which is one of the main focuses of Universal Scientific Education and Research Network (USERN); science without borders. The whole world is suffering from complex problems; these are actually borderless problems; so, borderless solution could be the solution for such complex problems. Transdisciplinarity, as a domain that researchers work jointly, using shared conceptual framework drawing together disciplinary-specific theories, concepts and approaches to address common problem. Lack of confidence, lack of expertise, complexities of healthcare, the confusing nature of healthcare environments and lack of organization and standardization became obstacles to successful communication. Consequently, the book is to provide an overview of the basic elements of transdisciplinary studies and integrated science. The unique aspect of this book, privileging it from other books, is covering all aspects of science as a true one nature.

Integrated Solutions for Smart and Sustainable Environmental Conservation (Studies in Systems, Decision and Control #527)
by Jamal Mabrouki Mourade AzrourResource depletion and ecological risks are more than ever at the heart of societal and economic debates. In the 1970s, the developed countries saw the Fordist growth regime crumble in parallel with the growing awareness of the ecological issue. Since the first industrial revolutions, technological dynamics have been the cause of many environmental problems, and there is a consensus on the diagnosis. Integrated technologies reduce resource use and/or pollution at source by using cleaner production methods. This generally leads to a reduction in the by-products, energy inputs and resources used by companies to produce goods. Integrated production technologies reduce negative environmental impacts at source by substituting or modifying cleaner technologies. Examples of integrated, or cleaner, production technologies are the recirculation of materials, the use of environmentally friendly materials (such as the substitution of water for organic solvents), etc. However, the implementation of integrated production technologies is often hampered by obstacles related to cost, coordination and skill inertia problems and to the productive organisation of companies. In addition to the high investment costs of new integrated technologies, additional barriers may emerge depending on the nature of the environmental problem and the type of environmental regulation in question.
Integrated Systems: Data Driven Engineering
by Madjid Fathi Mohammad-Reza AlamThe term "integrated system" denotes the seamless collaboration of numerous (potentially unrelated) subsystems to achieve a specific goal. It involves combining various components—hardware, software, networks, and workflows—into a unified system that operates cohesively. Widely utilized across scientific and technological domains, integrated systems aim to elevate coherence, efficiency, and overall functionality quality. The Integrated System Design and Technology (ISDT) conference convenes a distinguished group of leading scientists with diverse backgrounds and notable achievements in technological innovation with the goal of fostering cross-disciplinary research and innovation. This gathering serves as an enabler for addressing major scientific and societal challenges that necessitate integrated systems, emphasizing the importance of collaboration in overcoming complex issues. The book at hand includes peer-reviewed research results that were presented and critically discussed duringthe ISDT 2023 which were held in Antalya, Turkey, in May 2023.
