This book presents endeavors to join synergies in order to create added value for society, using the latest scientific knowledge to boost technology transfer from academia to industry. It potentiates the foundations for the creation of knowledge- and entrepreneurial cooperation networks involving engineering, innovation, and entrepreneurship stakeholders. The Regional HELIX 2018 conference was organized at the University of Minho’s School of Engineering by the MEtRICs and Algoritmi Research Centers, and took place in Guimarães, Portugal, from June 27th to 29th, 2018. After a rigorous peer-review process, 160 were accepted for publication, covering a wide range of topics, including Control...
This book publishes some papers presented at The International Conference on Water Energy Food and Sustainability (ICoWEFS 2023), a major forum to foster innovation and exchange knowledge in the water-energy-food nexus. The topics covered embrace the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations, including Future trends in Water Security, Smart Technologies in Sustainable Energy Production Systems, Circular systems for rural and urban food and Integrated Ecosystems Management.
This book delves into the critical intersections of food systems, sustainability, and resource management, exploring innovative approaches and research from various disciplines. With a focus on both theoretical frameworks and practical applications, the book addresses topics such as eco-labels, food waste quantification, bioactive food components, and the role of smallholder farmers in emerging e-marketplaces. Divided into two core sessions, the book covers a wide range of topics essential to achieving sustainable food systems. The first session focuses on enhancing food supply chains, consumer behavior, and the development of nutritious, eco-friendly food products. The second session shifts towards resource management and the circular economy, providing cutting-edge research on biodegradable materials, biomass management, and the valorization of agricultural waste. Throughout the chapters, experts emphasize innovative practices in biorefineries, sustainable agriculture, renewable energy, and environmental policy.
This book presents selected papers from ICOWEFS 2024, addressing contemporary energy challenges. Topics range from energy and urban-industrial systems to governance issues, emphasizing the transformative potential of circular economy frameworks and the decarbonization imperative. It showcases innovative technologies, including energy-saving solutions, biofuels, and waste biorefining, paving the way toward sustainable energy systems. Readers will gain insights into smart technologies and the rise of hybrid local energy generation in this exploration of Energy 4.0's paradigm-shifting landscape.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 7th IFIP WG 5.5/SOCOLNET Advanced Doctoral Conference on Computing, Electrical and Industrial Systems, DoCEIS 2016, held in Costa de Caparica, Portugal, in April 2016. The 53 revised full papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 112 submissions. The papers present selected results produced in engineering doctoral programs and focus on research, development, and application of cyber-physical systems. Research results and ongoing work are presented, illustrated and discussed in the following areas: enterprise collaborative networks; ontologies; Petri nets; manufacturing systems; biomedical applications; intelligent environments; control and fault tolerance; optimization and decision support; wireless technologies; energy: smart grids, renewables, management, and optimization; bio-energy; and electronics.
