The 2nd International Conference on Recent Advances in Computing Sciences (RACS) was held from 29th to 30th November 2022 at Lovely Professional University, Jalandhar, India. The conference focused on discussing issues, exchanging ideas, and the most recent innovations towards advancing research in the field of Computing Sciences and Technology. All technical sessions were predominantly related to Data Science, Artificial intelligence, Remote Sensing, Image Processing, Computer Vision, Data Forensics, Cyber-Security, Computational Sciences, Simulation and modeling, Business Analytics, and Machine Learning.

In the age of digitalization and the fourth industrial revolution, predictive maintenance is becoming increasingly important as a proactive maintenance type. Despite the economic benefits that predictive maintenance generates for companies, its practical application is still in its early stages. This is often due to two prevailing challenges. First, there is a deficiency of knowledge about predictive maintenance and its concrete realization. Second, there is a lack of high quality and rich data of historical machine failures. To increase the representativeness of data, data from several similar machines (i.,e. a fleet) should be considered. To foster the effective implementation of predictive maintenance, supportive guidance in the realization of a predictive maintenance project is needed. For this reason, this dissertation presents a process reference model and a development method for fleet prognostics. The process reference model describes a comprehensive and application-independent view of the complete predictive maintenance process. The model is supplemented by the fleet prognostic development method. To address the specific characteristics of the fleet, a systematic process is depicted which provides a means to assess the heterogeneity of the fleet from a data-driven perspective and simplifies the design of an algorithm considering fleet data. Finally, the applicability and value of the research results are demonstrated with three industrial cases

With the development and wide application of new information technology, the trend of informationization, intelligence and integration for complex systems is becoming increasingly obvious. Various complex systems promote and restrict each other to form an organic system with a feature of system emergence. The goal of these complex systems is to accomplish complex tasks in very complicated and uncertain environments and get better results than people expect. System effectiveness is always used to measure the design quality and capacity of complex systems. It represents the comprehensive capability of a complex system to perform specific tasks under specific conditions. To guide the optimization design process, improve design quality, reduce the design lifecycle and ultimately enhance the overall capabilities of complex systems, it is necessary to find a scientific method to evaluate and optimize the system effectiveness of the complex system. At present, there are many methods to evaluate system effectiveness, but most of the evaluation objects are mainly single equipment or a subsystem. Complex systems have various typical characteristics of large scale, complex relationships, diverse tasks, and typical uncertainties. It is difficult to achieve comprehensive evaluation and it is not effective to use the existing simple methods directly. Because the existing research on comprehensive evaluation of system effectiveness struggles to meet the emergence requirements of complex systems, it is necessary to research and form a comprehensive evaluation and optimization method of system effectiveness for the complex system. The basic theories and applications of effectiveness evaluation and optimization technology are introduced in this book. The book contains nine chapters, the main contents of which are as follows: Introduction; Construction of Effectiveness Evaluation Index System; Mathematical Modeling and Analysis Technology of Effectiveness Index; Analysis Technology of Classical Effectiveness Evaluation; Mission Oriented Effectiveness Evaluation Technology; Operational Effectiveness Sensitivity Analysis Technology; Analysis Technology of System Effectiveness Contribution; Mission oriented Modeling; and Evaluation and Optimization of Complex Systems. The main content of this book includes: the entire analyzing process of system effectiveness and complex system performance; the construction, selection and modeling of the index system; the evaluation of system effectiveness; and the analysis of sensitivity and contribution, among other topics. Each chapter has a close logical relationship, which can help the readers understand the field more easily. This book has strong practicality. Based on the basic theories of various methods, we provide many concrete cases. Readers can quickly apply them to the practice of effectiveness evaluation following the case studies. The authors'research and applications provide not only theoretical knowledge, but practical knowledge as well. The latest technological developments are also considered. This book mainly discusses the performance evaluation of typical complex systems, focusing on new theories and methods in this field. We believe this can help the development and application of effectiveness evaluation of complex systems. This book can be used as reference material or as a textbook for high grade students and graduated students in computer simulation and system modeling and simulation, control science and engineering. It also has important reference value for researchers and engineers in professional fields such as ship engineering, aircraft guidance and control, and aircraft design.

The proceedings of the 2013 International Conference on Management Innovation and Information Technology (MIIT 2013) presents new research results and demonstrates new systems and techniques in the broad field of management innovation and information technology, and their applications in industrial engineering. Bringing together the work of researchers and developers from around the world this book contains state-of-art results for exploring new areas of research and development. Also discussed are the emerging issues facing businesses and organisations in the knowledge economy. Topics covered relate to the main subject areas of: Economic Growth; Management Innovation; Information Management and Information Technology.

Issues relating to the emergence, persistence, and stability of cooperation among social agents of every type are widely recognized to be of paramount importance. They are also analytically difficult and intellectually challenging. This book, arising from a NATO Advanced Study Institute held at SUNY in 1994, is an up-to-date presentation of the contribution of game theory to the subject. The contributors are leading specialists who focus on the problem from the many different angles of game theory, including axiomatic bargaining theory, the Nash program of non-cooperative foundations, game with complete information, repeated and sequential games, bounded rationality methods, evolutionary theory, experimental approaches, and others. Together they offer significant progress in understanding cooperation.
