Semi-empirical Neural Network Modeling presents a new approach on how to quickly construct an accurate, multilayered neural network solution of differential equations. Current neural network methods have significant disadvantages, including a lengthy learning process and single-layered neural networks built on the finite element method (FEM). The strength of the new method presented in this book is the automatic inclusion of task parameters in the final solution formula, which eliminates the need for repeated problem-solving. This is especially important for constructing individual models with unique features. The book illustrates key concepts through a large number of specific problems, both hypothetical models and practical interest. - Offers a new approach to neural networks using a unified simulation model at all stages of design and operation - Illustrates this new approach with numerous concrete examples throughout the book - Presents the methodology in separate and clearly-defined stages

The book contains selected research papers presented at the 2nd International Conference on Cyber-Physical Systems and Control (CPS&C’2021) which was held from 29 June to 2 July 2021 in St. Petersburg, Russia. The CPS&C’2021 Conference continues the series of international conferences that began in 2019 when the first International Conference on Cyber-Physical Systems and Control (CPS&C’2019) took place. Cyber-physical systems (CPSs) considered a modern and rapidly emerging generation of systems with integrated wide computational, information processing, and physical capabilities that can interact with humans through many new modalities and application areas of implementation. The book covers the latest advances, developments and achievements in new theories, algorithms, models, and applications of prospective problems associated with CPSs with an emphasis on control theory and related areas. The multidisciplinary fundamental scientific and engineering principles that underpin the integration of cyber and physical elements across all application areas are discussed in the book chapters. The materials of the book may be of interest to scientists and engineers working in the field of cyber-physical systems, systems analysis, control systems, computer technologies, and similar fields.

Process Modelling and Model Analysis describes the use of models in process engineering. Process engineering is all about manufacturing--of just about anything! To manage processing and manufacturing systematically, the engineer has to bring together many different techniques and analyses of the interaction between various aspects of the process. For example, process engineers would apply models to perform feasibility analyses of novel process designs, assess environmental impact, and detect potential hazards or accidents. To manage complex systems and enable process design, the behavior of systems is reduced to simple mathematical forms. This book provides a systematic approach to the mathematical development of process models and explains how to analyze those models. Additionally, there is a comprehensive bibliography for further reading, a question and answer section, and an accompanying Web site developed by the authors with additional data and exercises. - Introduces a structured modeling methodology emphasizing the importance of the modeling goal and including key steps such as model verification, calibration, and validation - Focuses on novel and advanced modeling techniques such as discrete, hybrid, hierarchical, and empirical modeling - Illustrates the notions, tools, and techniques of process modeling with examples and advances applications

Digital Twins in Industry is a compilation of works by authors with specific emphasis on industrial applications. Much of the research on digital twins has been conducted by the academia in both theoretical considerations and laboratory-based prototypes. Industry, while taking the lead on larger scale implementations of Digital Twins (DT) using sophisticated software, is concentrating on dedicated solutions that are not within the reach of the average-sized industries. This book covers 11 chapters of various implementations of DT. It provides an insight for companies who are contemplating the adaption of the DT technology, as well as researchers and senior students in exploring the potential of DT and its associated technologies.
