This book offers insights into the new trends that are pushing industries toward the 5.0 paradigm. Digitalization has made tremendous inroads, and the key enabling technologies for Industry 4.0 are increasingly mature. "Towards a Smart, Resilient and Sustainable Industry" not only strikes a balance among the current benefits, issues, and limitations of the current wave of digitalization, but also identifies the key challenges for making new industrial developments favorable for people and the environment. The different perspectives presented in this collection are gathered from contributions presented at the 2nd International Symposium on Industrial Engineering and Automation (ISIEA 2023), which took place at the Free University of Bozen-Bolzano on June 22-23, 2023. Readers will realize how aspects from different disciplines are interwoven to allow positive changes across industries: from engineering to artificial intelligence, from management to design, and from health care to biology.

English | PDF (True) | 2023 | 116 Pages | ISBN : 3031371453 | 3.2 MB
This book shows how smart technology applications to mobile healthcare will be different in the post-pandemic era. Prior to the Covid-19 pandemic, smart technologies had been widely applied to mobile health care. It will be the same in the post pandemic. However, the widely used smart technologies before and after the Covid-19 pandemic may be different. First, users’ motivations for applying smart technologies have changed. In addition, some innovative ways of applying smart technologies within the Covid-19 pandemic have emerged. Further, users’ acceptance of smart technology applications has increased. Furthermore, new smart technologies are still being proposed. This book discusses these topics.

Sustainable Smart Cities Enabling Technologies, Energy Trends and Potential Applications


Free Download Sustainable Smart Cities: Enabling Technologies, Energy Trends and Potential Applications by Priyanka Mishra , Ghanshyam Singh
English | PDF EPUB (True) | 2023 | 257 Pages | ISBN : 3031333535 | 46.7 MB
This book discusses the architecture, design and implementation of critical components of Sustainable Smart Cities to support governance, transportation, energy, healthcare, factories, technologies, securities, agriculture and education. The authors discuss the background of sustainable smart cities architectures and technologies and describe the problems that arise in design and implementation. In particular, this book discusses a proposed, 6G-based framework and architecture of IoT based sustainable smart cities. The authors describe the use of artificial intelligence in many zones of cities to increase the system’s performance and efficiency. With the detailed discussion of energy management in smart cities, they have also presented how Internet of Vehicles (IoV) uses wireless communication and sensing technology to establish a network of information exchange between vehicles, infrastructure, and the environment. The discussion also includes Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) as well as Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) for IoT based sustainable smart cities. This book explores societal, economic, and practical reforms that would promote smart cities, based on a variety of case studies.

Planning and Operation of Electric Vehicles in Smart Grids


Free Download Planning and Operation of Electric Vehicles in Smart Grids by Mehdi Rahmani-Andebili
English | PDF EPUB (True) | 2023 | 145 Pages | ISBN : 3031359100 | 25.3 MB
Transportation electrification, particularly using electric vehicles (EV), has been widely suggested to mitigate global warming and energy security issues due to their economic and environmental benefits. Environmentalists are advertising EV use, and governments are implementing financial incentives to expedite the transition from conventional vehicles to electric ones to achieve energy security and climate change mitigation goals. At the same time, EVs are becoming more affordable as their battery prices decrease. It has been predicted that EV sales will soon surpass gasoline and diesel vehicle sales. Therefore, EVs will be one of the significant electricity customers in the future. This fact hints that the uncontrolled charging and discharging of large numbers of EVs can put power systems at risk. Hence, optimal planning and operation of EVs is not only necessary but beneficial. This collection covers recent research advancements in the planning and operation of EVs in smart grids. A global group of researchers and scholars present innovative approaches while covering the theoretical and experimental aspects.
