The papers were organized in topical sections as follows: Part I: artificial intelligence; Part II: artificial intelligence; Internet of things; information security; Part III: information security; big data and cloud computing; information processing.

The implementation of robotics and automation in the food sector offers great potential for improved safety, quality and profitability by optimising process monitoring and control. Robotics and automation in the food industry provides a comprehensive overview of current and emerging technologies and their applications in different industry sectors.Part one introduces key technologies and significant areas of development, including automatic process control and robotics in the food industry, sensors for automated quality and safety control, and the development of machine vision systems. Optical sensors and online spectroscopy, gripper technologies, wireless sensor networks (WSN) and supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems are discussed, with consideration of intelligent quality control systems based on fuzzy logic. Part two goes on to investigate robotics and automation in particular unit operations and industry sectors. The automation of bulk sorting and control of food chilling and freezing is considered, followed by chapters on the use of robotics and automation in the processing and packaging of meat, seafood, fresh produce and confectionery. Automatic control of batch thermal processing of canned foods is explored, before a final discussion on automation for a sustainable food industry.With its distinguished editor and international team of expert contributors, Robotics and automation in the food industry is an indispensable guide for engineering professionals in the food industry, and a key introduction for professionals and academics interested in food production, robotics and automation. - Provides a comprehensive overview of current and emerging robotics and automation technologies and their applications in different industry sectors - Chapters in part one cover key technologies and significant areas of development, including automatic process control and robotics in the food industry and sensors for automated quality and safety control - Part two investigates robotics and automation in particular unit operations and industry sectors, including the automation of bulk sorting and the use of robotics and automation in the processing and packaging of meat, seafood, fresh produce and confectionery

Every day, millions of people are unaware of the amazing processes that take place when using their phones, connecting to broadband internet, watching television, or even the most basic action of flipping on a light switch. Advances are being continually made in not only the transmission of this data but also in the new methods of receiving it. These advancements come from many different sources and from engineers who have engaged in research, design, development, and implementation of electronic equipment used in communications systems. This volume addresses a selection of important current advancements in the electronics and communications engineering fields, focusing on signal processing, chip design, and networking technology. The sections in the book cover: Microwave and antennas Communications systems Very large-scale integration Embedded systems Intelligent control and signal processing systems
