Special Issue on Intelligent Control and Robotics

The momentum of real industrial applications has accelerated the development of fuzzy control, neural-network based control, evolutionary control etc. During the last decade, several computational intelligence techniques haven been also incorporated into the intelligent robotics research domain. The Sixth International Conference on Intelligent Systems Design and Applications (ISDA 2006) gather...

Ground Water Issue: Steam Injection for Soil and Aquifer Remediation

Innovative technologies for subsurface remediation, including in situ techniques based on heating the subsurface to enhance the recovery of organic contaminants, are increasingly being evaluated for use at specific sites as the limitations to the conventionally-used techniques are recognized. The purpose of this Issue Paper is to provide to those involved in assessing remediation technologies f...

A Study on Location-Based Priority of Soil and Groundwater Pollution Remediation

Under the circumstances of limited government funds, the future pollution remediation policies and practical implementation may need contemplation from the perspective of maximized efficacy, in order to pursue the most effective resource allocation. In fact, different pollution sources and types affect the value of surrounding properties differently in significance and scope. Therefore, benefit...
