This book presents research advances in intelligent transportation and smart city in detail, mainly focusing on green traffic and urban utility tunnels, presented at the 5th International Symposium for Intelligent Transportation and Smart City (ITASC 2022) held at Tongji University, Shanghai, on May 20-21, 2022. It is also branch of the International Symposium on Autonomous Decentralized Systems (ISADS) 2023. Due to rapid development in the domain of intelligent transportation and smart city, many popular topics are included, such as the 2BMW system (Bus, Bike, Metro and Walking), transportation safety and environment protection, urban utility design and application, the application of BIM in the city design. This book collects papers with high quality, including some authoritative scholars and most experienced engineers’ latest achievements, which will provide guidance to those both in universities and entrepreneurs in the field of transportation and urban planning. The first conference in the ITASC series was held in 2013 as a workshop of the International Symposium on Autonomous Decentralized System (ISADS) in Mexico City. The second to fourth were held in May 2015, 2017 and 2019, respectively, in Tongji University, Shanghai.

This book presents selected proceedings of the annual convention of the Computer Society of India. Divided into 10 topical volumes, the proceedings present papers on state-of-the-art research, surveys, and succinct reviews. They cover diverse topics ranging from communications networks to big data analytics, and from system architecture to cyber security. This book focuses on Software Engineering, and informs readers about the state of the art in software engineering by gathering high-quality papers that represent the outcomes of consolidated research and innovations in Software Engineering and related areas. In addition to helping practitioners and researchers understand the chief issues involved in designing, developing, evolving and validating complex software systems, it provides comprehensive information on developing professional careers in Software Engineering. It also provides insights into various research issues such as software reliability, verification and validation, security and extensibility, as well as the latest concepts like component-based development, software process models, process-driven systems and human-computer collaborative systems.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Third Latin-American Symposium on Dependable Computing, LADC 2007, held in Morelia, Mexico, in September 2007. The 14 revised full papers presented together with 2 invited talks, and outlines of 3 tutorials and 2 panel sessions, were carefully reviewed and selected from 37 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on fault-tolerant algorithms, software engineering of dependable systems, networking and mobile computing, experimental dependability evaluation, as well as intrusion tolerance and security.

It has been many decades, since Computer Science has been able to achieve tremendous recognition and has been applied in various fields, mainly computer programming and software engineering. Many efforts have been taken to improve knowledge of researchers, educationists and others in the field of computer science and engineering. This book provides a further insight in this direction. It provides innovative ideas in the field of computer science and engineering with a view to face new challenges of the current and future centuries. This book comprises of 25 chapters focusing on the basic and applied research in the field of computer science and information technology. It increases knowledge in the topics such as web programming, logic programming, software debugging, real-time systems, statistical modeling, networking, program analysis, mathematical models and natural language processing.

The next enterprise computing era will rely on the synergy between both technologies: semantic web and model-driven software development (MDSD). The semantic web organizes system knowledge in conceptual domains according to its meaning. It addresses various enterprise computing needs by identifying, abstracting and rationalizing commonalities, and checking for inconsistencies across system specifications. On the other side, model-driven software development is closing the gap among business requirements, designs and executables by using domain-specific languages with custom-built syntax and semantics. It focuses on using modeling languages as programming languages. Among many areas of application, we highlight the area of configuration management. Consider the example of a telecommunication company, where managing the multiple configurations of network devices (routers, hubs, modems, etc.) is crucial. Enterprise systems identify and document the functional and physical characteristics of network devices, and control changes to those characteristics. Applying the integration of semantic web and model-driven software development allows for (1) explicitly specifying configurations of network devices with tailor-made languages, (2) for checking the consistency of these specifications (3) for defining a vocabulary to share device specifications across enterprise systems. By managing configurations with consistent and explicit concepts, we reduce cost and risk, and enhance agility in response to new requirements in the telecommunication area. This book examines the synergy between semantic web and model-driven software development. It brings together advances from disciplines like ontologies, description logics, domain-specific modeling, model transformation and ontology engineering to take enterprise computing to the next level.

When architecting dependable systems, fault tolerance is required to improve the overall system robustness. Many studies have been proposed, but the solutions are usually commissioned late during the design and implementation phases of the software life-cycle (e.g., Java and Windows NT exception handling), thus reducing the error recovery effectiveness. Since the system design typically models only normal behaviors of the system while ignoring exceptional ones, the generated system implementation is unable to handle abnormal events. Consequently, the system may fail in unexpected ways due to some faults. Researchers have advocated that fault tolerance management during the entire life-cycle improves the overall system robustness and that different classes of exceptions must be identified for each identified phase of software development, depending on the abstraction level of the software system being modeled. This book builds on this trend and investigates how fault tolerance mechanisms can be used when engineering a software system. New problems will arise, new models are needed at different abstraction levels, methodologies for mode driven engineering of such systems must be defined, new technologies are required, and new validation and verification environments are necessary.
