Digital Twin and Blockchain for Smart Cities
THE BOOK UNIQUELY EXPLORES THE FUNDAMENTALS OF BLOCKCHAIN AND DIGITAL TWIN TECHNOLOGIES AND THEIR USES IN SMART CITIES.In the previous decade, many governments explored artificial intelligence, digital twin, and blockchain, and their roles in smart cities. This book discusses the convergence of two transformative technologies, digital twin and blockchain, to address urban challenges and propel the development of smarter, more sustainable cities. This convergence empowers cities to create real-time replicas of urban environments (digital twins) and secure, transparent data management (blockchain) to improve city planning, management, and civic services. In this application, the concept of a digital twin involves creating a virtual, data-driven replica of a city or specific urban systems, such as transportation, energy, or infrastructure. This digital twin mirrors the real world, gathering data from various sensors, IoT devices, and other sources to provide a holistic view of the city’s operations. Furthermore, blockchain technology offers a decentralized and tamper-resistant ledger for securely storing and managing data. In the context of smart cities, blockchain can ensure data integrity, privacy, and transparency, enabling trust and collaboration among various stakeholders. This book covers many important topics, including real-time city modeling; data security and the trustworthy storage of sensitive urban data; transparent governance to facilitate accountable governance and decision-making processes in smart cities; improved city services; disaster resilience (by providing insights into vulnerabilities and efficient resource allocation during crises); sustainable urban planning that optimizes resource allocation, reduces energy consumption, and minimizes environmental impact, which fosters sustainable development; citizen engagement; and much more. This book will not only provide information about more efficient, resilient, and sustainable urban environments, but it also empowers citizens to be active participants in shaping the future of their cities. By converging these technologies, cities can overcome existing challenges, encourage innovation, and create more livable, connected, and responsive urban spaces. AUDIENCEThis book has a wide audience in computer science, artificial intelligence, and information technology as well as engineers in a variety of industrial manufacturing industries. It will also appeal to economists and government/city policymakers working on smart cities, the circular economy, clean tech investors, urban decision-makers, and environmental professionals.

Zephyr RTOS Embedded C Programming
These days the term Real-Time Operating System (RTOS) is used when referring to an operating system designed for use in embedded microprocessors or controllers. The “Real Time” part refers to the ability to implement applications that can rapidly responding to external events in a deterministic and predictable manner. RTOS-based applications have to meet strict deadline constraints while meeting the requirements of the application. One way of ensuring that urgent operations are handled reliably is to set task priorities on each task and to assign higher priorities to those tasks that need to respond in a more timely manner.Another feature of real-time applications is the careful design and implementation of the communication and synchronization between the various tasks. The Zephyr RTOS was developed by Wind River Systems, and subsequently open sourced. Its design and implementation are oriented towards the development of time critical IoT (Internet of Things) and IIoT (Industrial Internet of Things) applications, and, consequently it has a rich feature set for building both wireless and wired networking applications. However, with a rich feature set comes a fairly steep learning curve.This book covers the foundations of programming embedded systems applications using Zephyr's Kernel services. After introducing the Zephyr architecture as well as the Zephyr build and configuration processes, the book will focus on multi-tasking and inter-process communication using the Zephyr Kernel Services API. By analogy with embedded Linux programming books, this book will be akin a Linux course that focuses on application development using the Posix API. In this case, however, it will be the Zephyr Kernel Services API that will be the API being used as well as the Posix API features supported by Zephyr.WHAT YOU’LL LEARN* An Overview of the Cortex-M Architecture.* Advanced data structures and algorithms programming (linked lists, circular buffers and lists).* How to build Zephyr Applications, including setting up a Command Line Zephyr Development Environment on Linux.* Task scheduling and pre-emption patterns used in Real Time Operating Systems.* Scheduling, Interrupts and Synchronization, including threads, scheduling, and system threads.* Overview of Symmetric Multiprocessing (SMP) and Zephyr support for SMP. * Memory management, including memory heaps, memory slabs, and memory pools.WHO THIS BOOK IS FOREmbedded Systems programmers, IoT and IIoT developers, researchers, BLE application developers (Industrial Control Systems, Smart Sensors, Medical Devices, Smart Watches, Manufacturing, Robotics). Also of use to undergraduate and masters in computer science and digital electronics courses.Andrew Eliasz is the Founder and Head at Croydon Tutorial College as well as the Director of First Technology Transfer Ltd. First Technology Transfer runs advanced training courses and consults on advanced projects in IT, real time and embedded systems. Most courses are tailored to customers’ needs. Croydon Tutorial College evolved from Carshalton Tutorial College which was established to provide classes, distance level teaching, workshops and personal tuition in computer science, maths, and science subjects at GCSE, A Level, BTEC, undergraduate and masters levels. It has now changed its name and location to Croydon Tutorial College at Weatherill House Croydon. As well as teaching and tutoring they also provide mentoring and help for students having difficulties with assignments and projects (e.g., by suggesting how to add to a project to obtain a better grade, as well as reviewing project content and writing styles).1.

Fit fürs Studium - Statistik (3. Auflg.)
Fit fürs Studium – Statistik. 3., aktualisierte Auflage aus August 2024Statistik gehört in vielen Studiengängen zum unverzichtbaren Handwerkszeug.

Kein Problem: Dieses Buch knüpft an intuitives Denken an. Es führt Sie mit vielen Beispielen durch die Grundbegriffe der Statistik, sodass sich der Sinn von Mittelwerten, Hypothesentests und Co. ganz einfach erschließt.Sie lernen nicht nur, die jeweiligen Berechnungen durchzuführen, sondern auch, mit Datenmaterial eigenständig umzugehen, die richtigen Fragen zu stellen und Ergebnisse sinnvoll und anschaulich grafisch darzustellen. So sind Sie auf Ihre Aufgaben im Studium gut vorbereitet: sowohl auf die erste Hausarbeit mit echten Daten, als auch auf die manchmal gefürchtete Statistik-Vorlesung. Geeignet für alle Studiengänge.Vom Würfel zur Wissenschaft1. Statistik – und zwar ganz von vornFreuen Sie sich auf Beispiele, die sich ohne Vorkenntnisse erschließen und Sie in Wahrscheinlichkeitsrechnung und Statistik einführen.

Dabei werden mathematische Symbole und Konzepte allgemeinverständlich erklärt.2. Der Reihe nach: beschreibende, schließende & beurteilende StatistikWissen Sie, warum das arithmetische Mittel nicht immer ein sinnvoller »Durchschnitt« ist oder wie mit Statistik am häufigsten »gelogen« wird? Nach den ersten Kapiteln bestimmt – und Sie sind fit in beschreibender Statistik. Erst danach geht es darum, aus Daten Schlüsse zu ziehen und wissenschaftliche Hypothesen zu beurteilen.3. So macht Wissenschaft richtig Spaß!Für die beurteilende Statistik kommt das Rechnen mit Wahrscheinlichkeiten hinzu. Und das kann richtig Spaß machen!

Innovation Empowerment in Construction 4.0 by the CDR-Approach
This is a publication-based dissertation. The book examines the promotion of innovation in construction 4.0 through the CDR approach. This opens up a new scientific research field for digital breakthroughs. It raises awareness, explains and enables access to innovative technologies such as digitalization and AI in the construction industry and highlights the associated ethical aspects. This research comes to the conclusion that the human factor forms the basis for designing a socially sustainable digital transformation. The new findings show how innovative technology can support people more efficiently, productively, safely and meaningfully. It specifically addresses responsibility in the corporate environment and develops the key factors for success without neglecting the necessary legal, political, social and educational framework. The aim of this book is to improve and strengthen the transfer of knowledge between research and practice on the basis of scientific communication without language barriers. In this way, the book offers broader access for readers, not only for experts, researchers, designers, implementers, doers and visionaries. The book encourages an interdisciplinary, integrative and constructive dialogue in order to avoid disciplinary silo thinking. The diversity of potential and innovations in the industry is offset by the industry's enormous responsibility to use sustainable, human-controlled AI to achieve the 17 UN SDGs and climate goals and to increase its global competitiveness on the basis of a European quality seal. Surprise and aha effects are inevitable. The book invites key players, everyone involved and everyone who sets new standards, to help shape the digital change in the construction industry and become innovative. The book promotes a new culture of thinking and learning and strengthens the entrepreneurial will to innovate. Opening a new gap in scientific knowledge with this book ultimately leads to a new discipline. In addition, it expands the interdisciplinary dialogue around the globe to find new ways to assume corporate digital responsibility and adapt the framework conditions. The book provides new ideas for defining individual digital corporate strategies. 1. Introduction.- 2. Scientific approach.- 3. Calls for Action.- 4. Cumulative Part of Dissertation.- 5.
