Proceedings of the Future Technologies Conference (FTC) 2021, Volume 1


Book Description

This book covers a wide range of important topics including but not limited to Technology Trends, Computing, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Vision, Communication, Security, e-Learning, and Ambient Intelligence and their applications to the real world. The sixth Future Technologies Conference 2021 was organized virtually and received a total of 531 submissions from academic pioneering researchers, scientists, industrial engineers, and students from all over the world.. After a double-blind peer review process, 191 submissions have been selected to be included in these proceedings. One of the meaningful and valuable dimensions of this conference is the way it brings together a large group of technology geniuses in one venue to not only present breakthrough research in future technologies, but also to promote discussions and debate of relevant issues, challenges, opportunities and research findings. We hope that readers find the book interesting, exciting, and inspiring; it provides the state-of-the-art intelligent methods and techniques for solving real-world problems along with a vision of the future research.




AI for Big Data-Based Engineering Applications from Security Perspectives


Book Description

Artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, and advanced electronic circuits involve learning from every data input and using those inputs to generate new rules for future business analytics. AI and machine learning are now giving us new opportunities to use big data that we already had, as well as unleash a whole lot of new use cases with new data types. With the increasing use of AI dealing with highly sensitive information such as healthcare, adequate security measures are required to securely store and transmit this information. This book provides a broader coverage of the basic aspects of advanced circuits design and applications. AI for Big Data-Based Engineering Applications from Security Perspectives is an integrated source that aims at understanding the basic concepts associated with the security of advanced circuits. The content includes theoretical frameworks and recent empirical findings in the field to understand the associated principles, key challenges, and recent real-time applications of advanced circuits, AI, and big data security. It illustrates the notions, models, and terminologies that are widely used in the area of Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI) circuits, security, identifies the existing security issues in the field, and evaluates the underlying factors that influence system security. This work emphasizes the idea of understanding the motivation behind advanced circuit design to establish the AI interface and to mitigate security attacks in a better way for big data. This book also outlines exciting areas of future research where already existing methodologies can be implemented. This material is suitable for students, researchers, and professionals with research interest in AI for big data–based engineering applications, faculty members across universities, and software developers.







Future of solar photovoltaic


Book Description

This study presents options to fully unlock the world’s vast solar PV potential over the period until 2050. It builds on IRENA’s global roadmap to scale up renewables and meet climate goals.




SPS2020


Book Description

Knowledge-intensive product realization implies embedded intelligence; meaning that if both theoretical and practical knowledge and understanding of a subject is integrated into the design and production processes of products, this will significantly increase added value. This book presents papers accepted for the 9th Swedish Production Symposium (SPS2020), hosted by the School of Engineering, Jönköping University, Sweden, and held online on 7 & 8 October 2020 because of restrictions due to the Corona virus pandemic. The subtitle of the conference was Knowledge Intensive Product Realization in Co-Operation for Future Sustainable Competitiveness. The book contains the 57 papers accepted for presentation at the conference, and these are divided into nine sections which reflect the topics covered: resource efficient production; flexible production; virtual production development; humans in production systems; circular production systems and maintenance; integrated product and production development; advanced and optimized components, materials and manufacturing; digitalization for smart products and services; and responsive and efficient operations and supply chains. In addition, the book presents five special sessions from the symposium: development of changeable and reconfigurable production systems; smart production system design and development; supply chain relocation; management of manufacturing digitalization; and additive manufacturing in the production system. The book will be of interest to all those working in the field of knowledge-intensive product realization.

Economic Systems in the New Era: Stable Systems in an Unstable World


Book Description

This proceedings book presents outcomes of the Innovative Economic Symposium – 2020 organized by the Institute of Technology and Business in České Budějovice (VŠTE) in Russia in collaboration with two universities: Financial University under the Government of the Russian Federation (Moscow) and Samara State University of Economics (Samara). The symposium aims to bring together experts and young scientists in economy, management, international relations, finance, marketing, and professional education from Asian and European countries, to share knowledge and experience and discuss issues related to stable economic development, international business, entrepreneurship, Industry 4.0, cooperation between educational and business structures, strategic decision-making, and processes of economic globalization and fragmentation. The book consists of two parts corresponding to the thematic symposium areas. The book content covers two sections: stable development in unstable world and globalization and fragmentation forces of the current world economy. The main topics included in the book are as follows: - Where is the world moving to and where is the economy in it? - Institutionalization of innovations. - Network architecture of economic relations. - Competences for the future. - Smart change management. - Monetary and fiscal policy development as a factor of economic modernization. - Role of international trade in the economy globalization. - Impact of globalization and economic fragmentation on the enterprise’s internal environment. - Financial conditions for entrepreneurship under the economic modernization. - Impact of scientific and technological progress on globalization and fragmentation of the economy.
