Measuring systems are an essential part of all automated production systems, they also serve to ensure quality of production or they are used to assure the reliability and safety in various areas. The same applies in principle likewise for fields of telecommunication, energy production and distribution, health care etc. Similarly no serious scientific research in the field of natural and technical sciences can be performed without objective data about the investigated object, which are usually acquired using measuring system. Demands on the speed and accuracy of measurement increase in all areas in general. These are the grounds for publishing this book.The book "Advanced distributed measuring systems - exhibits of application" offers 8 up-to-date examples of typical laboratory, industrial and biomedical applications of advanced measuring and information systems including virtual instrumentation. It arose based on the most interesting papers from this area published at IDAACS'2011 conference. However, single chapters include not only system design solution in wider context but also relevant theoretical parts, achieved results and possible future ways of design and development.Technical topics discussed in the book include:• embedded applications;• small distributed systems;• automotive distributed system;• distributed monitoring systems based on wireless networks;• synchronisation in large DAQ systems;• virtual instrumentation."Advanced distributed measuring systems - exhibits of application" is ideal for personnel of firms deals with control systems, automotive electronics, airspace instrumentation, health care technology etc. as well as academic staff and postgraduate students in electrical, control and computer engineering.

This volume is based on the research papers presented in the 4th Computer Science On-line Conference. The volume Intelligent Systems in Cybernetics and Automation Control Theory presents new approaches and methods to real-world problems, and in particular, exploratory research that describes novel approaches in the field of cybernetics and automation control theory. Particular emphasis is laid on modern trends in selected fields of interest. New algorithms or methods in a variety of fields are also presented. The Computer Science On-line Conference (CSOC2015) is intended to provide an international forum for discussions on the latest high-quality research results in all areas related to Computer Science. The addressed topics are the theoretical aspects and applications of Computer Science, Artificial Intelligences, Cybernetics, Automation Control Theory and Software Engineering.

Power quality is a very broad subject, covering all stages of power systems engineering, from the generation, transmission, and distribution levels to the end-users. This book contains a selection of the best papers on power quality presented at the International Conferences on Renewable Energy and Power Quality from 2003 to 2012. The volume represents a unique selection of the best contributions to power quality exploitation and evolution over the past decade. As such, it provides an up-to-date reference point for researchers, technicians and engineering interested in the state of the field of power quality. This book will primarily interest professional engineers and researchers dealing with power quality, but will also prove useful to postgraduate level students. It can also be used as a reference book for engineers, physicists and mathematicians interested and involved in operation, project management, design, and analysis of power quality issues. Each chapter contains references that allow the treated topic to be further deepened.

The book presents a broad overview of emerging smart grid technologies and communication systems, offering a helpful guide for future research in the field of electrical engineering and communication engineering. It explores recent advances in several computing technologies and their performance evaluation, and addresses a wide range of topics, such as the essentials of smart grids for fifth generation (5G) communication systems. It also elaborates the role of emerging communication systems such as 5G, internet of things (IoT), IEEE 802.15.4 and cognitive radio networks in smart grids. The book includes detailed surveys and case studies on current trends in smart grid systems and communications for smart metering and monitoring, smart grid energy storage systems, modulations and waveforms for 5G networks. As such, it will be of interest to practitioners and researchers in the field of smart grid and communication infrastructures alike.

Doebelin's MEASUREMENT SYSTEMS APPLICATIONS & DESIGN 5/e provides a comprehensive and up-to-date overview of measurement, instrumentation and experimentation; it is geared mainly for Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering students, though other majors can also utilize it. The book is also a comprehensive, up-to-date resource for engineering professionals. The 5/e features expanded coverage of sensors and computer tools in measurement & experimentation. Measurement techniques related to micro- and nano-technologies are now discussed, reflecting the growing importance of these technologies, The newest computer methods are covered, and Doebelin has added a significant commercial software connection for users of the book. Specific coverage of MATLAB, SIMULINK, and the lab simulation package DASY LAB is provided with the book. A Book Website will accompany the text, providinglinks to commercial sites of interest, user software resources, and detailed, password-protected solutions to all chapter problems.
