This book systematically examines and quantifies industrial
problems by assessing the complexity and safety of large systems.
It includes chapters on system performance management, software
reliability assessment, testing, quality management, analysis using
soft computing techniques, management analytics, and business
analytics, with a clear focus on exploring real-world business
issues. Through contributions from researchers working in the area
of performance, management, and business analytics, it explores the
development of new methods and approaches to improve business by
gaining knowledge from bulk data. With system performance
analytics, companies are now able to drive performance and provide
actionable insights for each level and for every role using key
indicators, generate mobile-enabled scorecards, time series-based
analysis using charts, and dashboards. In the current dynamic
environment, a viable tool known as multi-criteria decision
analysis (MCDA) is increasingly being adopted to deal with complex
business decisions. MCDA is an important decision support tool for
analyzing goals and providing optimal solutions and alternatives.
It comprises several distinct techniques, which are implemented by
specialized decision-making packages. This book addresses a number
of important MCDA methods, such as DEMATEL, TOPSIS, AHP, MAUT, and
Intuitionistic Fuzzy MCDM, which make it possible to derive maximum
utility in the area of analytics. As such, it is a valuable
resource for researchers and academicians, as well as practitioners
and business experts.

Physics of Nuclear Reactors presents a comprehensive analysis of
nuclear reactor physics. Editors P. Mohanakrishnan, Om Pal Singh,
and Kannan Umasankari and a team of expert contributors combine
their knowledge to guide the reader through a toolkit of methods
for solving transport equations, understanding the physics of
reactor design principles, and developing reactor safety
strategies. The inclusion of experimental and operational reactor
physics makes this a unique reference for those working and
researching nuclear power and the fuel cycle in existing power
generation sites and experimental facilities. The book also
includes radiation physics, shielding techniques and an analysis of
shield design, neutron monitoring and core operations. Those
involved in the development and operation of nuclear reactors and
the fuel cycle will gain a thorough understanding of all elements
of nuclear reactor physics, thus enabling them to apply the
analysis and solution methods provided to their own work and
research. This book looks to future reactors in development and
analyzes their status and challenges before providing possible
worked-through solutions. Cover image: Kaiga Atomic Power Station
Units 1 - 4, Karnataka, India. In 2018, Unit 1 of the Kaiga Station
surpassed the world record of continuous operation, at 962 days.

Producing and maintaining the high quality of products and
processes are at the core of engineering and only a comprehensive
quality improvement and assessment program that have successful
outcome can assure it. Reliability of computer systems has become a
major concern for our society. Software reliability is the key
factor in software quality since it qualities software failures -
the most unwanted event which makes software useless or even
harmful to the whole system. Achieving highly reliable software in
the customer's perspective is a demanding job to all software
engineers and reliability engineers. Papers in this book are
classified into four main areas: RELIABILITY, QUALITY, OPTIMIZATION
AND INFOCOM TECHNOLOGY. This book will benefit wider audiences
amongst the scientific and research community in academia and
industry.
