The book contains proceedings of the XV International Scientific Conference INTERAGROMASH 2022, Rostov-on-Don, Russia. The agro-industrial complex is the most extensive and vital industry. It is rapidly developing by introducing the latest technologies and automating various processes necessary for the functioning of this area. The book is dedicated to engineering technologies of precision farming and agricultural robotics. It includes studies on natural resources variability, sustainable soil management, Agro Big Data, Internet of Things, software and mobile apps for precision agriculture, smart weather for precision agriculture, simulations models and decision support systems, expert systems, DGPS, soil physical and chemical characteristic sensors, machinery, etc. Different types of agricultural robots are presented in the book: autonomous fruit picking robots, farming bots that can seed and water plants, test the soil and remove weeds, completely autonomous robot for ecological and economical ultra-high precision spraying and weeding, harvesting robots with the special vision systems that can “see” fruits and understand whether they're ripe and ready to pick, and others. Also, the book covers advances in agricultural biotechnology in such areas of research as crop production improvement practices, genetic modification, as well as microbial biotechnology in agriculture, etc. The book is aimed for scientists, researchers, and graduate students. It is also useful for representatives of regional authorities, as it gives an idea of existing high-tech solutions for agriculture. The book is written and edited by international researchers, academics, and experts in the corresponding research areas.

This book contains proceedings of the International Scientific Conference on Precision Agriculture and Agricultural Machinery Industry INTERAGROMASH 2021. It is a collection of original and fundamental research papers in areas such as agricultural machinery, agricultural materials science, construction of agricultural facilities, training of specialists in the field of agriculture, and other topics. Each of the presented chapters has undeniable scientific value and novelty in the corresponding research areas. The book is aimed for professionals and practitioners, for researchers, scholars, and producers. The materials presented here can be used in the educational process at specific agricultural universities or during vocational training at enterprises and will become an indispensable helper to farm managers in making the best agronomic decisions. The book is also useful for representatives of regional authorities, as it gives an idea of existing high-tech solutions for agriculture.

Information and computer technologies for data analysis and processing in various fields of data mining and machine learning generates the conditions for increasing the effectiveness of information processing by making it faster and more accurate. The book includes 49 scientific papers presenting the latest research in the fields of data mining, machine learning and decision-making. Divided into three sections: “Analysis and Modeling of Complex Systems and Processes”; “Theoretical and Applied Aspects of Decision-Making Systems”; and “Computational Intelligence and Inductive Modeling”, the book is of interest to scientists and developers in the field.

This book contains research papers that were accepted for presentation at the 15th International Conference on Interdisciplinarity in Engineering—INTER-ENG 2021, which was held on October 7–8, 2021, in the city of Târgu Mureș, Romania. The general scope of the conference “Innovative aspects of Industry 4.0 concepts aimed at consolidating the digital future of manufacturing in companies” is proposing a new approach related to the development of a new generation of smart factories grounded on the manufacturing and assembly process digitalization. It is related to advance manufacturing technology, lean manufacturing, sustainable manufacturing, additive manufacturing, and manufacturing tools and equipment. It is a leading international professional and scientific forum of great interest for engineers and scientists who can read in this book research works contributions and recent developments as well as current practices in advanced fields of engineering.

Digital forensics deals with the acquisition, preservation, examination, analysis and presentation of electronic evidence. Computer networks, cloud computing, smartphones, embedded devices and the Internet of Things have expanded the role of digital forensics beyond traditional computer crime investigations. Practically every crime now involves some aspect of digital evidence; digital forensics provides the techniques and tools to articulate this evidence in legal proceedings. Digital forensics also has myriad intelligence applications; furthermore, it has a vital role in cyber security -- investigations of security breaches yield valuable information that can be used to design more secure and resilient systems. Advances in Digital Forensics XV describes original research results and innovative applications in the discipline of digital forensics. In addition, it highlights some of the major technical and legal issues related to digital evidence and electronic crime investigations. The areas of coverage include: forensic models, mobile and embedded device forensics, filesystem forensics, image forensics, and forensic techniques. This book is the fifteenth volume in the annual series produced by the International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP) Working Group 11.9 on Digital Forensics, an international community of scientists, engineers and practitioners dedicated to advancing the state of the art of research and practice in digital forensics. The book contains a selection of fourteen edited papers from the Fifteenth Annual IFIP WG 11.9 International Conference on Digital Forensics, held in Orlando, Florida, USA in the winter of 2019. Advances in Digital Forensics XV is an important resource for researchers, faculty members and graduate students, as well as for practitioners and individuals engaged in research and development efforts for the law enforcement and intelligence communities.
