Diagnosis and Fault-tolerant Control 1: Data-driven and Model-based Fault Diagnosis Techniques
by Vicenç Puig Silvio SimaniThis book presents recent advances in fault diagnosis strategies for complex dynamic systems. Its impetus derives from the need for an overview of the challenges of the fault diagnosis technique, especially for those demanding systems that require reliability, availability, maintainability and safety to ensure efficient operations. Moreover, the need for a high degree of tolerance with respect to possible faults represents a further key point, primarily for complex systems, as modeling and control are inherently challenging, and maintenance is both expensive and safety-critical.Diagnosis and Fault-tolerant Control 1 also presents and compares different diagnosis schemes using established case studies that are widely used in related literature. The main features of this book regard the analysis, design and implementation of proper solutions for the problems of fault diagnosis in safety critical systems. The design of the considered solutions involves robust data-driven, model-based approaches.
Diagnosis and Fault-tolerant Control Volume 2: From Fault Diagnosis to Fault-tolerant Control
by Vicenç Puig Silvio SimaniThis book presents recent advances in fault diagnosis and fault-tolerant control of dynamic processes. Its impetus derives from the need for an overview of the challenges of the fault diagnosis technique and sustainable control, especially for those demanding systems that require reliability, availability, maintainability, and safety to ensure efficient operations. Moreover, the need for a high degree of tolerance with respect to possible faults represents a further key point, primarily for complex systems, as modeling and control are inherently challenging, and maintenance is both expensive and safety-critical.Diagnosis and Fault-tolerant Control 2 also presents and compares different fault diagnosis and fault-tolerant schemes, using well established, innovative strategies for modeling the behavior of the dynamic process under investigation. An updated treatise of diagnosis and fault-tolerant control is addressed with the use of essential and advanced methods including signal-based, model-based and data-driven techniques. Another key feature is the application of these methods for dealing with robustness and reliability.

Dialog Systems: A Perspective from Language, Logic and Computation (Logic, Argumentation & Reasoning #22)
by Teresa Lopez-SotoThis book focuses on dialog from a varied combination of fields: Linguistics, Philosophy of Language and Computation. It builds on the hypothesis that meaning in human communication arises at the discourse level rather than at the word level. The book offers a complex analytical framework and integration of the central areas of research around human communication. The content revolves around meaning but it also gives evidence of the connection among different points of view. Besides discussing issues of general interest to the field, the book triggers theoretical argumentation that is currently under scientific discussion. It examines such topics as immanent reasoning joined with Recanati's lekta and free enrichment, challenges of internet conversation, inner dialogs, cognition and language, and the relation between assertion and denial. It proposes a dialogical framework for intra-negotiation and gives a geolinguistic perspective on spoken discourse. Finally, it examines dialog and abduction and sheds light on a generation of dialog contexts by means of multimodal logic applied to speech acts.

Die Oracle Datenbank 19c: Eine Einführung für DBAs
by Thorsten GrebeDiese Einführung in die Oracle Datenbankadministration bietet einen schnellen Einstieg in die Installation, den Betrieb und das Backup einer Oracle 19c Datenbank. Dabei liegt der Fokus auf Datenbanken, die nicht in der Cloud, sondern auf eigenen Servern (on premise) betrieben werden. Es wird gezeigt, wie eine Einzelinstanz als herkömmliche Non-CDB oder als Multitenant-Containerdatenbank aufgesetzt werden kann und wie beim Aufbau eines Real Application Clusters vorgegangen werden muss. Erläutert werden die Komponenten, aus denen eine Datenbank und ihre Instanz bestehen, die Bedeutung von Speicherbereichen und Schemaobjekten. Die Besonderheiten einer Containerdatenbank gegenüber der älteren Non-CDB Architektur werden beschrieben. Hinweise werden gegeben, welche Initialisierungsparameter besser auf ihren Vorgabewerten belassen und welche unbedingt angepasst werden sollten. Besonderen Raum wurde dem Thema Backup und Recovery eingeräumt. Es wird gezeigt, welche Befehle in einem Sicherungsskript nicht fehlen sollten und wie Schäden an einer Oracle Datenbank erkannt und repariert werden können. Nach der Lektüre sollten sich Leserinnen und Leser nicht mehr orientierungslos gegenüber einer Oracle Datenbank fühlen.
Die Strategien digitaler Champions (essentials)
by Andreas Engelen Oliver SchneiderIm Jahr 2021 basierten sieben der zehn wertvollsten Unternehmen weltweit (Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, Alphabet, Facebook, Tencent und Alibaba) auf einem digitalen Geschäftsmodell. Etwa 15 Jahre zuvor war es nur eins (Microsoft). Auch in einzelnen Industrien zeigt sich, dass primär digital getriebene Unternehmen stetig Marktanteile gewinnen. Für die Strategielehre hat dies eine besondere Relevanz: Digitale Top-Player verfolgen „andere“ strategische Ansätze als „klassische“ Unternehmen. Dieses essential zeigt auf, welche neuen strategischen Tools digitale Top-Player nutzen, wie sich diese von der klassischen Vorgehensweise unterscheiden und was traditionelle Unternehmen davon lernen können.

Differential Evolution Algorithm with Type-2 Fuzzy Logic for Dynamic Parameter Adaptation with Application to Intelligent Control (SpringerBriefs in Applied Sciences and Technology)
by Oscar Castillo Patricia Ochoa Jose SoriaThis book focuses on the fields of fuzzy logic, bio-inspired algorithm, especially the differential evolution algorithm and also considering the fuzzy control area. The main idea is that these two areas together can help solve various control problems and to find better results. In this book, the authors test the proposed method using five benchmark control problems. First, the water tank, temperature, mobile robot, and inverted pendulum controllers are considered. For these 4 problems, experimentation was carried out using a Type-1 fuzzy system and an Interval Type-2 system. The last control problem was the D.C. motor, for which the experiments were performed with Type-1, Interval Type-2, and Generalized Type-2 fuzzy systems. When we use fuzzy systems combined with the differential evolution algorithm, we can notice that the results obtained in each of the controllers are better and with increasing uncertainty, the results are even better. For this reason, the authors consider in this book the proposed method using fuzzy systems and the differential evolution algorithm to improve the fuzzy controllers’ behavior in complex control problems.

Digital Analysis of Vaults in English Medieval Architecture
by Alexandrina Buchanan James Hillson Nicholas WebbMedieval churches are one of the most remarkable creative and technical achievements in architectural history. The complex vaults spanning their vast interiors have fascinated both visitors and worshippers alike for over 900 years, prompting many to ask: ‘How did they do that?’ Yet very few original texts or drawings survive to explain the processes behind their design or construction. This book presents a ground-breaking new approach for analysing medieval vaulting using advanced digital technologies. Focusing on the intricately patterned rib vaulting of thirteenth and fourteenth century England, the authors re-examine a series of key sites within the history of Romanesque and Gothic Architecture, using extensive digital surveys to examine the geometries of the vaults and provide new insights into the design and construction practices of medieval masons. From the simple surfaces of eleventh-century groin vaults to the gravity-defying pendant vaults of the sixteenth century, they explore a wide range of questions including: How were medieval vaults conceived and constructed? How were ideas transferred between sites? What factors led to innovations? How can digital methods be used to enhance our understanding of medieval architectural design? Featuring over 200 high quality illustrations that bring the material and the methods used to life, Digital Analysis of Vaults in English Medieval Architecture is ideal reading for students, researchers and anyone with an interest in medieval architecture, construction history, architectural history and design, medieval geometry or digital heritage.
