Research into the sampling and measurement of odours has developed
in a number of sectors, especially the agriculture, food and
process industries, with knowledge from each sector being
transferred to the wastewater and solid waste management sectors.
Progressive developments in odour research have resulted in
researchers re-tracing original research studies to understand the
contribution and variability of differing sampling and measurement
techniques. There are, however, very few reviews that compile
earlier studies across each sector. This study looks at the
information used to support current practices in odour sampling and
measurement for impact reduction. Sampling for Measurement of
Odours reviews European and other internationally available
research studies to understand odour sampling and measurement
practice in waste applications. The emphasis is placed on
appropriate odour sampling and its relationship to differing
measurement techniques. As recent developments in standardisation
of odour measurement have reduced much of the variation and
identified best practice in this area there is, at present, a far
greater variation in sampling techniques with serious implications
for the quality of samples obtained and their usefulness for
assessing odour impact. The review considers the available
information on uncontrolled area sources, identifies factors
influencing sample losses or transformations and looks at
information on the sources of variability identified through
standardisation programmes. This need for this report was
identified by the Odour Network, an EPSRC-sponsored discussion
platform intended to promote multidisciplinary research in the
areas of odour measurement, modelling and treatment. Scientific and

This book constitutes the thoroughly reviewed post-proceedings of
the 8th International Workshop on Argumentation in Multi-Agent
Systems, ArgMas 2011, held in Taipei, Taiwan in May 2011 in
association with the 10th International Conference on Autonomous
Agents and Multi-Agent Systems (AAMAS 2011). The 8 revised full
papers taken from ArgMAS 2011. Also included are 5 invited papers
based on presentations on argumentation at the AAMAS 2011 main
conference. All together the 13 papers included in the book give a
representative overview on current research on argumentation in
multi-agent systems. The papers are listed alphabetically by first
author within three thematic topics: foundations and theory;
argumentation and dialogue; and applications.

The volume LNAI 13054 constitutes the refereed proceedings of the
22th Annual Conference Towards Autonomous Robotic Systems, TAROS
2021, held in Lincoln, UK, in September 2021.*The 45 full papers
were carefully reviewed and selected from 66 submissions. Organized
in the topical sections "Algorithms" and "Systems", they discuss
significant findings and advances in the following areas:
artificial intelligence; mechatronics; image processing and
computer vision; special purpose and application-based systems;
user interfaces and human computer interaction. * The conference
was held virtually due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
