The connections between causes and effects are often much more subtle and complex than we with our rough and ready understanding of the physical world might natur...

Systems engineering is a discipline with methods and techniques to address complex problems. We want to study how Systems Engineering methods can help to address today’s grand challenges, such as the energy problem. The first step is problem definition which aims at articulating the problem in its context as clearly as possible. Humanity will have to cope with the energy problem, one of the mos...

The increasingly complex and competitive market situation has resulted in Global Software Engineering (GSE) becoming more and more common practice. Companies need to use their existing resources as effectively as possible. In addition, they need to employ resources on a global scale from different sites within the company and even from partner companies throughout the world, in order to produce...

Industrial robots and associated control methods are continuously developing. With the recent progress in field of artificial intelligence, new perspectives industrial robot strategies have emerged, prospects towards cognitive arisen. AI-based robotic systems strongly becoming one main areas focus, as flexibility deep understanding complex manufacturing processes key advantage to raise competit...

The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is recognized as the fourth industrial revolution it enhances productivity, dependability, and competitive performance by concentrating on profitability. IIoT-enabled technologies have been reviewed implemented in several research, but more research into opportunities challenges they present necessary. This paper explores infrastructure, their role globa...
