Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies enable manufacturing systems to sense the environment, adapt to external needs, and extract process knowledge, including business models such as intelligent production, networked collaboration, and extended service models. This book therefore focuses on the implementation of AI in customized manufacturing (CM).The main topics include edge intelligence in manufacturing, heterogeneous networks, intelligent fault diagnosis and maintenance, dynamic resource scheduling in manufacturing, and the construction mode of the smart factory. Based on the insights of CM and AI, the authors demonstrate the implementation of AI in the smart factory for CM, including architecture, information fusion, data analysis, dynamic scheduling, flexible production line construction, and smart manufacturing services.This book will provide important research content for scholars in artificial intelligence, smart manufacturing, machine learning, multi-agent systems, and industrial Internet of Things.

This book constitutes the proceedings of the First International Joint Conference on Conceptual Knowledge Structures, CONCEPTS 2024, which took place in Cádiz, Spain, during September 9-13, 2024. The conference is an amalgamation of the 18th International Conference on Formal Concept Analysis (ICFCA); the 17th International Conference on Concept Lattices and Their Applications (CLA); and the 28th International Conference on Conceptual Structures (ICCS). The 18 full and 4 short papers included in this book were carefully reviewed and selected from 38 submissions. They were organized in topical sections as follows: Theory; algorithms, methods, and resources; applications.

Smart technologies, such as artificial intelligence and machine learning, play a vital role in modeling, analysis, performance prediction, effective control, and utilization of smart energy systems. This book presents novel concepts in the development of smart cities and smart grids as well as discusses the technologies involved in producing efficient and economically feasible energy technologies around the world.It comprehensively covers important topics, including optimization methods for smart grids, power converters, smart meters, load frequency control, automatic generation control, and power electronics for smart grids.This book focuses mainly on three areas of electrical engineering: control systems, power electronics, and renewable resources, including artificial intelligence for the development of smart electrical grids.Key Features• Clarifies how the smart grid plays an important role in modern smart technologies• Introduces the basic concepts of modernization of smart grid with the assumption of basic knowledge of mathematics and power systems• Describes the structure of technologies based on Internet of Things (IoT), which acts like a bridge to cover the gap between the physical and virtual worlds required for the realization of the smart grid• Includes practical examples of the smart grid and energy saving• Illustrates the integration of renewable energy sources with worked examples• Enables readers to engage with the immediate development of power systems by using smart approaches for future smart grids

El procomún se ha abierto paso como una de las corrientes de pensamiento y prácticas que buscan alternativas a los patrones utilizados por el sistema capitalista. En su lugar, los bienes comunes ofrecen modelos económicos y sociales diferentes que, al mismo tiempo, constituyen un espacio experimental de producción de conocimiento. Un mundo común se entiende, por defecto, en construcción y abierto a la colaboración. Siguiendo esta misma línea, Antonio Lafuente va más allá de la teoría política de lo común y aborda las iniciativas colaborativas o «laboratorios ciudadanos» que se activan para hacer frente a una demanda colectiva. Componer, experimentar, comunalizar y cuidar: como el propio autor argumenta, la cultura de la experimentación se articula en torno a estos ejes principales para crear nuevos itinerarios comunes. Este ensayo reúne praxis y enfoques que pueden resultar útiles a organizaciones e instituciones, pero también a individuos, para visualizar respuestas a la crisis permanente que vivimos.

Approche novatrice en sociologie d'une dimension réservée jusqu'ici à la psychologie autour d'une problématique très contemporaine: les émotions. Les émotions, traditionnellement étudiées en psychologie, s'imposent progressivement dans la sociologie contemporaine. Penser une grammaire sociologique de l'émotion, c'est avant tout admettre que les émotions traversent les expériences sociales et qu'il existe une forme d'historicité de l'émotion. Aujourd'hui, plus qu'hier encore, penser les émotions s'avère relever d'un devoir théorique, épistémologique et méthodologique de la sociologie. Ce livre rassemble les contributions de 12 spécialistes qui font émerger la question émotionnelle dans la discipline sociologique et montrent comment les transformations sociales contemporaines affectent les acteurs sociaux, mais aussi le travail sociologique. Pour les étudiants, professeurs et chercheurs en sociologie.

Is it possible to work with sound in sociology rather than being about sound? Can there be a »sonic sociology«? Rémy Bocquillon reflects on the process-oriented character of sociology as an experimental science by including aesthetic practices of sounding and listening as constitutive for the making of sociological theory. Following new materialist and speculative philosophies, this study is thus a combination of sociological theory, philosophical thought and aesthetic practices, not understood as discrete fields of inquiry, but co-constituting each other. It also features an audio chapter, »feeding-back« the sonic experimentations at the core of the research in new and engaging ways.

This book reports on the theoretical foundations, fundamental applications and latest advances in various aspects of connected services for health information systems.The twelve chapters highlight state-of-the-art approaches, methodologies and systems for the design, development, deployment and innovative use of multisensory systems and tools for health management in smart city ecosystems. They exploit technologies like deep learning, artificial intelligence, augmented and virtual reality, cyber physical systems and sensor networks.Presenting the latest developments, identifying remaining challenges, and outlining future research directions for sensing, computing, communications and security aspects of connected health systems, the book will mainly appeal to academic and industrial researchers in the areas of health information systems, smart cities, and augmented reality.

Ce volume a pour ambition de marquer une étape essentielle dans la promotion de la Recherche en travail social (RETS). Il s'agit de prolonger les questionnements sur la recherche en/dans/sur/ le travail social. Ces textes donnent la parole à ceux et celles qui se reconnaissent ou se positionnent dans une recherche en travail social : acteurs du champ, chercheurs, praticiens-chercheurs du champ de l'intervention sociale.

As the majority of the world continues to move into an internet-based society we have seen significant social, cultural, economic and technological changes. Most developing countries have embraced Web 2.0 and have moved onto the next generation of the World Wide Web, however, some developing countries still struggle to bridge the digital divide. Cases on Web 2.0 in Developing Countries: Studies on Implementation, Application, and Use investigates the perception of the value of Web 2.0, the adoption and application of its technologies, as well as the different approaches and innovations necessary for the implementation of Web applications in developing countries.

This book is the third of three volumes that illustrate the concept of social networks from a computational point of view. The book contains contributions from a international selection of world-class experts, with a specific focus on knowledge discovery and visualization of complex networks (the other two volumes review Tools, Perspectives, and Applications, and Security and Privacy in CSNs). Topics and features: presents the latest advances in CSNs, and illustrates how organizations can gain a competitive advantage from a better understanding of complex social networks; discusses the design and use of a wide range of computational tools and software for social network analysis; describes simulations of social networks, and the representation and analysis of social networks, highlighting methods for the data mining of CSNs; provides experience reports, survey articles, and intelligence techniques and theories relating to specific problems in network technology.
