As artificial intelligence (AI) processing moves from the cloud to the edge of the network, battery-powered and deeply embedded devices are challenged to perform AI functions such as computer vision and voice recognition. Microchip Technology Inc., via its Silicon Storage Technology (SST) subsidiary, is addressing this challenge by significantly reducing power with its analog memory technology, the memBrain Memory Solution. The memBrain solution is being adopted by today's companies looking to advance machine learning capacities in edge devices. Due to its ability to significantly reduce power, this analog in-memory computer solution is ideal for an AI application. Neuromorphic Computing Systems for Industry 4.0 covers the available literature in the field of neural computing-based microchip technology. It provides further research opportunities in this dynamic field. Covering topics such as emotion recognition, biometric authentication, and neural network protection, this premier reference source is an essential resource for technology developers, computer scientists, engineers, students and educators of higher education, librarians, researchers, and academicians.

This book constitutes the revised selected papers of the 13th International Conference on Service-Oriented Computing, ICSOC 2015, held in Goa, India in November 2015. The conference hosted the following seven workshops: 11th International Workshop on Engineering Service-Oriented Applications, WESOA 2015; Second Workshop on Resource Management in Service-Oriented Computing, RMSOC 2015; Workshop on Intelligent Service Clouds, ISC 2015; Second Workshop on Intelligent Service Clouds; First International Workshop on Dependability Issues in Services Computing, DISCO 2015; Workshop on Engineering for Service-oriented Enterprises, WESE 2015; First International Workshop on Big Data Services and Computational Intelligence, BSCI 2015 (joined with ISC 2015); and Second International Workshop on Formal Modeling and Verification of Service-based systems, FOR-MOVES 2015. The 22 full papers included in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 45 submissions.

In B2B-collaboration, original equipment manufacturers are confronted with spending considerable time and effort on coordinating suppliers across multiple tiers of their supply chain. In tightly integrated supply chains, the failure of providing services and goods on time leads to interruptions of the overall production and results in customer dissatisfaction. Collaborating parties must be able to set up an inter-organizational business process by disclosing to each other only as much as necessary. At the same time, checking the correctness of an inter-organizational business process must not force the collaborating parties into revealing their process internals to each other. However, in B2B collaborations, the ability of keeping internal business activities secret is important for retaining a competitive advantage. Hence, this book proposes the eSourcing concept for improving the coordination of service provision across several tiers of a supply chain. eSourcing allows the external harmonization of business processes and the internal integration of heterogeneous system environments without requiring collaborating parties to disclose internal business details to the counterparts.
