and reviews that discuss the methodologies, concepts, and possible
problems of a technology that requires little or no human
interaction between systems. The Handbook of Research on the
Internet of Things Applications in Robotics and Automation is a
pivotal reference source on the methods and uses of advancing IoT
technology. While highlighting topics including traffic information
systems, home security, and automatic parking, this book is ideally
designed for network analysts, telecommunication system designers,
engineers, academicians, technology specialists, practitioners,
researchers, students, and software developers seeking current
research on the trends and functions of this life-changing
technology.
The demand for ever smaller and portable electronic devices has
driven metal oxide semiconductor-based (CMOS) technology to its
physical limit with the smallest possible feature sizes. This
presents various size-related problems such as high power leakage,
low-reliability, and thermal effects, and is a limit on further
miniaturization. To enable even smaller electronics, various
nanodevices including carbon nanotube transistors, graphene
transistors, tunnel transistors and memristors (collectively called
post-CMOS devices) are emerging that could replace the traditional
and ubiquitous silicon transistor. This book explores these
nanoelectronics at the circuit and systems levels including
modelling and design approaches and issues. Topics covered include
self-healing analog and radio frequency circuits; on-chip gate
delay variability measurement in scaled technology node; nanoscale
finFET devices for PVT aware SRAM; data stability and write ability
enhancement techniques for finFET SRAM circuits; low-leakage
techniques for nanoscale CMOS circuits; thermal effects in carbon
nanotube VLSI interconnects; lumped electro-thermal modeling and
analysis of carbon nanotube interconnects; high-level synthesis of
digital integrated circuits in the nanoscale mobile electronics
era; SPICEless RTL design optimization of nanoelectronic digital
integrated circuits; green on-chip inductors for three-dimensional
integrated circuits; 3D network-on-chips; and DNA computing. This
book is essential reading for researchers, research-focused
industry designers/developers, and advanced students working on
next-generation electronic devices and circuits.
Recently, a new digital twin consortium has been established that
aims to deploy digital twin technology in new markets as well as in
the development of smart cities. Designing smart cities, smart
communities, and smart ecosystems powered by optimal digital twin
deployments is a vision that currently only futurists can entertain
and requires some time to reach large-scale adoption. However, it
is incumbent upon us as a society to educate and train future
generations on how to leverage digital twin technologies in order
to optimize our daily lives as well as increase our efficiency,
productivity, and safety. Impact of Digital Twins in Smart Cities
Development provides insights regarding the global landscape for
current digital twin research and deployments and highlights some
