This proceedings of the International Symposium on Materials Issues in a Hydrogen Economy addresses fundamental materials science issues and challenges concerning the production, storage, and use of hydrogen. The volume also deals with safety and education issues. The contributors - researchers in physics, chemistry, materials science, and engineering - share their ideas and results to delineate outstanding materials problems in a hydrogen economy and to guide the future research.

This volume consists of papers presented at the 2014 International Symposium on Systems and Computer Technology (ISSCT 2014, Shanghai, China, 15-17 November 2014). The demand for systems and informatics have been constantly increasing, as more and more computer applications have been built. Great efforts have been made to improve the state of the art in the technologies for computer-based applications. ISSCT 2014 aimed to advance these technologies to a new level and to encourage development of computer-based applications to be more reliable and efficient. The submissions, from all parts of the world, cover a variety of areas, including Control and Automation Systems, Power and Energy Systems, Intelligent Systems, Computer Systems and Applications, Communications and Networking, Image, Video, and Signal Processing, Data Engineering and Data Mining, and Software Engineering.
