Inhaltsangabe
This book, dedicated to Professor Georgi M. Dimirovski on his anniversary, contains new research directions, challenges, and many relevant applications related to many aspects within the broadly perceived areas of systems and control, including signal analysis and intelligent systems. The project comprises two volumes with papers written by well known and very active researchers and practitioners. The first volume is focused on more foundational aspects related to general issues in systems science and mathematical systems, various problems in control and automation, and the use of computational and artificial intelligence in the context of systems modeling and control. The second volume is concerned with a presentation of relevant applications, notably in robotics, computer networks, telecommunication, fault detection/diagnosis, as well as in biology and medicine, and economic, financial, and social systems too.
Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor
Juan Lucena is Associate Professor in the Liberal Arts and International Studies Division (LAIS) at the Colorado School of Mines, where he teaches courses for engineers in the Humanitarian Engineering minor. Juan obtained a Ph.D. in Science and Technology Studies (STS) from Virginia Tech and a MS in STS and BS in Mechanical and Aeronautical Engineering from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI). He is the author of Defending the Nation: U.S. Policymaking to Create Scientists and Engineers from Sputnik to the "War Against Terrorism" (University Press of America, 2005). He has been principal investigator on research grants related to globalization and engineering, the national and cultural dimensions of engineering, humanitarianism and engineering, and engineering and social justice. Having served in key advising groups in engineering education and policy, he is currently a member of the advisory committee for the Center for Engineering Ethics and Society at the National Academy of Engineering. Juan is co-editor of Engineering Studies, the Journal of the International Network for Engineering StudiesJen Schneider is Assistant Professor in the Liberal Arts and International Studies Division (LAIS) at the Colorado School of Mines (CSM), where she has taught for seven years. Jen's Ph.D. and M.A. degrees are in Cultural Studies from Claremont Graduate University, where her work focused on popular cultural representations of "grotesque bodies" in the postwar era through a study of fiction and film. Since coming to CSM in 2003, Jen has applied ways to apply her education in critical theory and media studies to problems in science, engineering, and engineering education. Her current research interests address how scientists and engineers communicate with the public and media about emerging risks and environmental crises, such as climate change, nanotechnology, and nuclear power. She also analyzes popular media texts such as film to understand how the public, and engineers and scientists, developmental and affective models related to these risks. At CSM, she teaches courses in communication and media studies. A second significant focus of Jen's work has to do with understanding how engineers work to address problems in environment and resources, primarily through projects in engineering, sustainable community development, and social justice. She co-teaches courses in engineering and sustainable community development (ESCD) with Jon, Juan, and others at CSM.Jen Schneider is Assistant Professor in the Liberal Arts and International Studies Division (LAIS) at the Colorado School of Mines (CSM), where she has taught for seven years.
