Composites are one of the most widely used materials because of
their adaptability to different situations and the relative ease of
combination with other materials to serve specific purposes and
exhibit desirable properties. In surface transportation, reinforced
plastics are the kind of composites used because of their huge
size. They provide ample scope and receptiveness to design changes,
materials and processes. The strength-weight ratio is higher than
other materials. Their stiffness and cost effectiveness offered,
apart from easy availability of raw materials, make them the
obvious choice for applications in surface transportation.
Composite materials have a wide range of properties and uses,
making them the most common building and manufacturing materials in
use today. They are created by combining two different components
in order to create a new material with different properties than
those which were started with. Concrete, fabric blends, paint,
particle board, plastics, glass and even paper are all examples of
composite materials. Metallic alloys are a different type of
composite, requiring metal ores to be combined in extreme
conditions. These metal composites are often used in items such as
utensils, ornaments, trinkets, statues and as building materials.
In 1940 fiberglass was invented and the modern era of composite
materials began. The basic premise of a modern composite material
is some sort of fiber material for the structure, and some sort of
plastic or glue to hold the shape and provide strength. These
fiber-reinforced plastic composites are used in manufacturing boat
and kayak hulls, swimming pool liners, turbine blades, sporting
goods and many other possible applications. Composite materials
distinguish themselves from other plastics products of synthesis by
characteristics which allow them properties of inalterability and
low weight, to substitute for metal pieces. Since a few years, the
market of composite materials doesn't stop growing. In the present
day scenario, use of advanced composite materials has been extended
to a large number of segments. The details of the research results
and the new development in fields are highlighted in this book. The

and the applications are also discussed.
An Operating System (OS) is an interface between a computer user
and computer hardware. An operating system is a software which
performs all the basic tasks like file management, memory
management, process management, handling input and output, and
controlling peripheral devices such as disk drives and printers. An
operating system is the most important software that runs on a
computer. It manages the computer's memory and processes, as well
as all of its software and hardware. It also allows you to
communicate with the computer without knowing how to speak the
computer's language. Without an operating system, a computer is
useless. There are many functions those are performed by the
operating system. But the main goal of operating system is to
provide the interface between the user and the hardware. The
development of operating systems is ruled both by the evolution of
hardware architectures and evolving application requirements.
Furthermore, the rapid growth development of smartphones and
tablets has changed the software distribution ecosystem. This book
explores the operating computer and mobiles devices systems. With
regard to operating systems, the specifics advances discussed in

interaction and development of embedded system.
A Multimedia System is a system capable of processing multimedia
data and applications. A Multimedia System is characterized by the
processing, storage, generation, manipulation and rendition of
Multimedia information. The aim of multimedia system is to provide
a creative and effective way of producing, storing and
communicating information. The application areas of multimedia are
marketing, training, education, entertainment, etc. Multimedia is
not a product literally of the term, neither a technology sector as
such, but a hybrid, resulting from the merger of technologies until
then largely independent. Multimedia is the use of a computer to
present and combine text, graphics, audio, and video with links and
tools that let the user navigate, interact, create, and
communicate. This definition contains four components essential to
multimedia. First, there must be a computer to coordinate what you
see and hear, and to interact with. Second, there must be links
that connect the information. Third, there must be navigational
tools that let you traverse the web of connected information.
Finally, because multimedia is not a spectator sport, there must be
ways for you to gather, process, and communicate your own
information and ideas. If one of these components is missing, you
do not have multimedia. The multimedia is realized in dynamic way
and daily through forms of communications carried out by the
individuals on different web spaces. Furthermore, all sectors of
economic and social activity (including health, education and
training, entertainment, commerce and communications) are
transformed by the multimedia. With regard to multimedia system,

technologies, state-of-the-art methods and tools in all aspects and
applications. The literature explored method of processing to

Heat transfer is one of the most common physical phenomena. Most
devices include heat sources and heat exchange with the
environment. The problem of thermal management has become essential
in many industrial sectors. It especially impacts the electronics
industry for many years due to the increasing density of
components. Thereby, the effects of significant overheating during
thermal cycling in electronic components are numerous and affect
both the reliability and durability of components and power
circuits, compromising the operation and safety of complex systems.
Furthermore, the sharing of a common thermal environment
increasingly restricted by several heat sources makes the thermal
coupling between critical and unpredictable components especially
as cooling paths can be multiple. With regards to engineering heat
transfer, this book discussed the applied thermal process, the work
on the temperature control component. The research objects are
addressed experimentally and numerically and lead to innovative
design, also made in laboratory. The design of engineering project
and development of model for heat transfer process are also carried
