These are the proceedings of the 2nd International Conference on Machinery, Materials Science and Engineering Applications ( MMSE 2012 ) held on the 16 and 17th June, 2012, in Wuhan, China. The object was to strengthen national academic exchanges and cooperation in the field, to promote the rapid development of machinery, materials science and engineering application and to improve China's machinery more effectively. Review from Book News Inc.: Peer-reviewed papers from a June 2012 conference are presented here in two large sections on materials science and machinery and engineering applications. Papers in the materials science section deal with topics such as synthesis of L-ascorbic acid cellulose ester, tribological behaviors of polymer-based composites under alkaline conditions, and fine cemented carbide particles prepared with activated tungsten oxide. Other areas explored in this section include 3D nonlinear contact FEM analysis of a U-ring seal structure, and finite element analysis of metal flow for finishing grooves in a hot continuous rolling bar. The section on machinery and engineering applications describes recent work in areas such as finite element analysis for hydraulic support, design of a shaft assignment radial piston pump, laser quenching paths of a numerical control algorithm, and physical simulation of virtual CNC turning. The editor is affiliated with Wuhan University of Science and Technology, China.

Selected, peer reviewed papers from the 2011 International Academic Conference on Machinery, Materials Science and Engineering Applications (MMSE 2011), July 15-16, 2011, Wuhan, China

Selected, peer reviewed papers from the 4th International Conference on Machinery, Materials Science and Engineering Applications (MMSE 2014), June 28-29, 2014, Wuhan, Hubei, China

The book compiles the research works related to smart solutions concept in context to smart energy systems, maintaining electrical grid discipline and resiliency, computational collective intelligence consisted of interaction between smart devices, smart environments and smart interactions, as well as information technology support for such areas. It includes high-quality papers presented in the International Conference on Intelligent Computing Techniques for Smart Energy Systems organized by Manipal University Jaipur. This book will motivate scholars to work in these areas. The book also prophesies their approach to be used for the business and the humanitarian technology development as research proposal to various government organizations for funding approval.

Multiple-input, multiple-output (MIMO), which transmits multiple data streams via multiple antenna elements, is one of the most attractive technologies in the wireless communication field. Its extension, called ‘massive MIMO’ or ‘large-scale MIMO’, in which base station has over one hundred of the antenna elements, is now seen as a promising candidate to realize 5G and beyond, as well as 6G mobile communications. It has been the first decade since its fundamental concept emerged. This Special Issue consists of 19 papers and each of them focuses on a popular topic related to massive MIMO systems, e.g. analog/digital hybrid signal processing, antenna fabrication, and machine learning incorporation. These achievements could boost its realization and deepen the academic and industrial knowledge of this field.

The purpose of this special collection was to strengthen national academic exchanges and cooperation in the field, to promote the rapid development of machinery, materials science and engineering applications, to improve China's machinery, materials science and engineering in the sense of academic status and international influence and to play an active role in reducing the distance between domestic and world-class norms. In accomplishing this, the present book succeeds admirably.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 5th International Symposium on Advances in Signal Processing and Intelligent Recognition Systems, SIRS 2019, held in Trivandrum, India, in December 2019. The 19 revised full papers and 8 revised short papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 63 submissions. The papers cover wide research fields including information retrieval, human-computer interaction (HCI), information extraction, speech recognition.
