This book shares important findings on the application of robotics in industry using advanced mechanisms, including software and hardware. It presents a collection of recent trends and research on various advanced computing paradigms such as soft computing, robotics, smart automation, power control, and uncertainty analysis. The book constitutes the proceedings of the 1st International Conference on Application of Robotics in Industry using Advanced Mechanisms (ARIAM2019), which offered a platform for sharing original research findings, presenting innovative ideas and applications, and comparing notes on various aspects of robotics. The contributions highlight the latest research and industrial applications of robotics, and discuss approaches to improving the smooth functioning of industries. Moreover, they focus on designing solutions for complex engineering problems and designing system components or processes to meet specific needs, with due considerations for public health and safety, including cultural, societal, and environmental considerations. Taken together, they offer a valuable resource for researchers, scientists, engineers, professionals and students alike.

This work consists of contributions by professionals from clinical areas, health care management, payer institutions, information technology industry, government, and health care quality research. The chapters are a cross-section of various business perspectives of health information technologies. The work covers the challenges facing the widespread implementation of information technology, possible solutions to economic, structural, cultural, and institutional barriers in the use of these technologies. It presents real-world examples of information technologies that can be used as business models of applied clinical and business solutions to improve health care quality.

The brief provides a quick introduction to the dynamic modelling of power system components. It gives a rigorous derivation of the model of different components of the power system such as synchronous generator, transformer, transmission line, FACTS, DC transmission system, excitation system and speed governor. Models of load and prime movers are also discussed. The brief can be used as a reference for researchers working in the areas of power system dynamics, stability analysis and design of stability controllers. It can also serve as a text for a short course on power system modelling, or as a supplement for a senior undergraduate/graduate course on power system stability.

This book offers key insights into how to manage software development across international boundaries. It is based on a series of case studies looking at the relationships between firms from North America, the UK, Japan and Korea with Indian software houses. In these case studies, which have typically been compiled over a 3-4 year timespan, the authors analyse the multi-faceted challenges encountered in managing these Global Software Alliances (GSAs). These challenges range from the conflicts that managers face when dealing with distance, to the tensions of transferring knowledge across time and space, to issues in trying to establish universal standards in a context of constant change, and the problems of identity that developers and clients experience in having to deal with different organizations and countries. Throughout the book, the authors draw on their extensive research and experience to offer constructive advice on how to manage GSAs more effectively.

At the dawn of the radio age, the possibilities of the electromagnetic spectrum were limitless and there was enough spectrum for everyone to use. As radio frequency (RF) devices proliferated exponentially, governments stepped in to allocate spectrum based on fairness and fiscal capacity of the requested user. As equipment has become more capable of using the spectrum more efficiently, regulations and operating procedures have not evolved. This paper will discuss the future of RF technology, identify and critique the processes and vision of each level (International, Federal, DoD, Service) in the RF allocation process and suggests improvements to improve to the current guidance. All current guidance fails to merge the operations, intelligence and communications disciplines. These specialties need to work together to write the doctrine and procedures for the future of spectrum operations. If the US military continues to allow technology to outrun policies and procedures, the future battlespace may see a technologically astute enemy dominating the spectrum while the coalition tries to learn how to fight in the dynamic RF spectrum world.
