Green Engineering will publish original, high quality, peer-reviewed research papers and review articles dealing with environmentally safe engineering including their systems. The goal is to promote environmentally safe engineering by utilizing various modeling approaches, but especially transdisciplinary approach between various disciplines of engineering, as well as, other disciplines e.g., social sciences. Of particular interest are papers that reflect recent development and application of modeling tools as well as innovative solutions in the field of environmentally safe engineering. Aims and Scope: Green Engineering will publish original, high quality, peer-reviewed research papers and review articles dealing with environmentally safe engineering including their systems. Paper submission is solicited on: Theoretical and numerical modeling of environmentally safe electrical engineering devices and systems Simulation of performance of innovative energy supply systems including renewable energy systems, as well as energy harvesting systems Modeling and optimization of human environmentally conscientiousness environment (especially related to electromagnetics and acoustics) Modeling and optimization of applications of engineering sciences and technology to medicine and biology Advances in modeling including optimization, product modeling, fault detection and diagnostics, inverse models Advances in software and systems interoperability, validation and calibration techniques. Simulation tools for sustainable environment (especially electromagnetic, and acoustic) Experiences on teaching environmentally safe engineering (including applications of engineering sciences and technology to medicine and biology) All these topics may be addressed from a global scale to a microscopic scale, and for different phases during the life cycle.

Aims: Provides an in-depth and holistic view of security and solutions from practical to theoretical aspects.Covering topics that are equally valuable for practitioners as well as those new in the field. Scope: This journal covers security issues in cyber space and solutions thereof. As cyber space has moved towards the wireless/mobile world, issues in wireless/mobile communications will also be published. The publication will take a holistic view. Some example topics are: security in mobile networks, security and mobility optimization, cyber security, cloud security, Internet of Things (IoT) and machine-to-machine technologies.

In dealing with the IUCN, one must bear in mind that there never has been, and undoubtedly never will be, any other organization even remotely resembling it. This book investigates IUCN's role in global biodiversity conservation policy as well as in national program development in India, Pakistan, Nepal and Bangladesh.

C is a powerful, much sought after programming language, but can be daunting to work with, even for engineering professionals. Cybernetics in C combines a theoretical overview and practical approach in one book, which should prove to be a useful reference for computer scientists, software programmers, engineers and students in this and related field.

Covers the issues related to corporate social responsibility in management and engineering in a context where organisations are facing. This book looks to contribute to the exchange of experiences and perspectives about the state of the research related to CSR, as well as the future direction of this field of research.

Provides a comprehensive overview of the overall scenario of IoT security whilst highlighting recent research and applications in the field. Technical topics discussed include: Machine-to-Machine Communications; IoT Architecture; Identity of Things; Block Chain; Parametric Cryptosystem; and Software and Cloud Components.

Features a collection of twenty-five interviews with practitioners who are testing the boundaries between the sciences, arts and humanities. Divided into three chapters, "On Science", "On Art", and "On Society", these interviews illustrate to the reader how models of hybridity can nurture new forms of innovation across disciplines and sectors.

Introduces an urban energy tool integrating different ICT energy management systems (both hardware and software) in two European cities, providing useful data to a novel decision support system that makes available the necessary parameters for the generation and further operation of associated business models.

Covers issues related to management for sustainable development in a context where organisations face challenges related to re-use, recycling, waste reduction, added value, low costs, sustainable behaviour, both environmentally and organisationally. This book contributes to the exchange of ideas about the state of research related to management for sustainable development.

This textbook is intended for a course on digital signal processing. Key features of the book include extensive use of MATLAB based examples to illustrate how to solve signal processing problems; worked-out examples to explain new and difficult concepts; and the inclusion of FIR and IIR filter design.

Provides a broad overview of the Internet of Things (IoT), ranging from research, innovation and development priorities to enabling technologies, nanoelectronics, cyber-physical systems, architecture, interoperability and industrial applications. The book presents global views and state of the art results on the challenges facing the research, innovation, development and deployment of IoT.

Provides an overview of a series of advanced research lines in robotics as well as of design and development methodologies for intelligent robots and their intelligent components. The book integrates state of the art computational intelligence based techniques for automatic robot control to novel distributed sensing and data integration methodologies that can be applied to intelligent robotics.

Provides a broad overview of various topics related to the Internet of Things, from research, innovation and development priorities to enabling technologies, nanoelectronics, cyber physical systems, architecture, interoperability and industrial applications. The book presents global views and state of the art results on the challenges facing the research, development and deployment of IoT.

Offers a "deconstruction" of Kurt Godel's Incompleteness Theorem's paradox used to prove that no formal systems of logic or mathematics can exist. The semantic valuation of the "meaning" behind the sentences used for the paradox is challenged and revised using other words that change the very nature of the sentences used in the paradox.

Provides a concise description of basic electronic components and apparatus and how to work with them practically. Theoretical description is followed by specifying the practical considerations so as to cement the student's understanding of the component/apparatus. This volume contains a detailed component description with focus on real life usability.

Examines virtual roaming for data services and seamless technology change. The book includes chapters explaining in detail the steering and anti-steering of roaming, LTE Serving Mobile Location Centers, and Advanced Policy and Charging implementations in LTE and 3G. All the relevant references to the standards are included.

Examines how to construct a more inclusive understanding of quality in higher education through combining the macro, meso and micro levels from the perspectives of national policy, higher education institutions as organisations in society, individual teaching staff and students. It covers both theoretical constructions for understanding quality and empirical investigation in the Chinese context.
