This volume presents select proceedings of the International Conference on Innovative Technologies for Clean and Sustainable Development (ICITCSD – 2021), held at the National Institute of Technical Teachers Training & Research and Chitkara University, Himachal Pradesh, India. It covers several important aspects of sustainable civil engineering practices, dealing with effective waste and material management, natural resources, industrial products, energy, food, transportation and shelter, environmental impact mitigation, waste minimization and management, sustainable infrastructure, and geospatial technology for sustainable and clean environment.
Emphasis is placed on conserving and protecting the environment and the natural resource base essential for future development. The book includes case studies and ongoing research work from various fields related to civil engineering presented by academicians, scientists, and researchers. The book also discusses engineering solutions to sustainable development and green design issues. Special emphasis is given on qualitative guidelines for the generation, treatment, handling, transport, disposal, and recycling of wastes. The book is intended as a practice-oriented reference guide for researchers and practitioners. It will be useful for anyone working in sustainable civil engineering and related fields.

This book includes high-quality research papers presented at Symposium on Power Electronic and Renewable Energy Systems Control (PERESC 2020), which is held at the School of Electrical Sciences, IIT Bhubaneswar, Odisha, India, during 4–5 December 2020.
The book covers original work in power electronics which has greatly enabled integration of renewable and distributed energy systems, control of electric machine drives, high voltage system control and operation. The book is highly useful for academicians, engineers, researchers and students to be familiar with the latest state of the art in power electronics technology and its applications.

This book includes selected peer-reviewed papers presented at the International Conference on Trends in Electronics and Health Informatics (TEHI 2021), organized by Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering and Department of Computer Science and Engineering, Pranveer Singh Institute of Technology Kanpur, India, during 16–17 December 2021. The book is broadly divided into five sections—artificial intelligence and soft computing, healthcare informatics, Internet of things and data analytics, electronics, and communications.

The 5-volume set, comprising the LNCS books 12535 until 12540, constitutes the refereed proceedings of 28 out of the 45 workshops held at the 16th European Conference on Computer Vision, ECCV 2020. The conference was planned to take place in Glasgow, UK, during August 23-28, 2020, but changed to a virtual format due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The 249 full papers, 18 short papers, and 21 further contributions included in the workshop proceedings were carefully reviewed and selected from a total of 467 submissions. The papers deal with diverse computer vision topics.

This book is a collection of selected papers presented at the Third Congress on Intelligent Systems (CIS 2022), organized by CHRIST (Deemed to be University), Bangalore, India, under the technical sponsorship of the Soft Computing Research Society, India, during September 5–6, 2022. It includes novel and innovative work from experts, practitioners, scientists, and decision-makers from academia and industry. It covers topics such as the Internet of Things, information security, embedded systems, real-time systems, cloud computing, big data analysis, quantum computing, automation systems, bio-inspired intelligence, cognitive systems, cyber-physical systems, data analytics, data/web mining, data science, intelligence for security, intelligent decision-making systems, intelligent information processing, intelligent transportation, artificial intelligence for machine vision, imaging sensors technology, image segmentation, convolutional neural network, image/video classification, soft computing for machine vision, pattern recognition, human-computer interaction, robotic devices and systems, autonomous vehicles, intelligent control systems, human motor control, game playing, evolutionary algorithms, swarm optimization, neural network, deep learning, supervised learning, unsupervised learning, fuzzy logic, rough sets, computational optimization, and neuro-fuzzy systems.

This volume contains the proceedings of the 2nd IFToMM Workshop for Sustainable Development Goals - I4SDG 2023 held in Bilbao, Spain, on 22-23 June 2023. The workshop papers are focused on those aspects of the theory, design and applications of Mechanism and Machine Science that are fundamental for moving towards sustainable development. The main topics of the workshop are: sustainable energy systems, robotics and mechatronics, biomechanical and medical systems, education, linkages, gears, transmissions and actuators, engines and powertrains, tribology, transportation machinery, service systems for sustainability, humanitarian engineering and socio-technical systems for sustainable and inclusive development. The contributions, selected through a rigorous international peer-review process, highlight many exciting ideas that will drive new research directions and foster multidisciplinary collaboration between researchers from different backgrounds.

The six volume set of LNCS 12622-12627 constitutes the proceedings of the 15th Asian Conference on Computer Vision, ACCV 2020, held in Kyoto, Japan, in November/ December 2020.*
