This book gathers papers that are centered on the theory and practice of a wide variety of advanced technologies. They cover the latest developments in computing, networking, information technology, robotics, complex systems, communications, energy, mechanical engineering, civil engineering, geodesy, and other subjects. These papers were selected for presentation at the 12th annual conference Days of the Bosnian-Herzegovinian American Academy of Arts and Sciences (BHAAAS), which was scheduled to be held in Mostar, Bosnia and Herzegovina in June 2020 but was postponed due to the coronavirus pandemic. However, in light of the high quality of the submissions, BHAAAS' technical and natural sciences division decided to create this special book despite the postponement. The editors would like to extend their special thanks to all the chairs of the planned symposia for their dedicated work in the production of this book: Jasmin Kevric, Zerina Masetic, Dzelila Mehanovic (Computer Science); Anes Kazagic, Hajrudin Dzafo, Izet Smajevic (Mechanical Engineering); Tarik Uzunovic, Asif Sabanovic, Jasmin Kevric (Mechatronics, Robotics and Embedded Systems); Mirza Saric, Tarik Hubana, Maja Muftic Dedovic (Advanced Electrical Power Systems); Mirza Pozder, Naida Ademovic, Medzida Mulic (Civil Engineering and Geodesy); Adnan Mujezinovic, Muris Torlak (Computer Modeling and Simulations for Engineering Applications); and Aljo Mujcic, Edin Mujcic (Information and Communication Technologies).

This book is concerned with the development of design techniques for controlling motion of mechanical systems which are employed to execute certain tasks acting collaboratively. The book introduces unified control design procedure for functionally related systems. The controllers for many different tasks in motion control can be successfully designed by applying the proposed simple procedure. The book gives an overview of the control methods appearing in the motion control area and the detailed design procedures for the class of systems that are required to execute certain task together. Tasks can generally be divided in their components, denoted as functions in the book. It is shown how dynamics of those tasks can be described. Based on the presented description, several control methods were discussed. Applicability of the introduced control design approach was demonstrated in subsequent chapters for various tasks.

This book presents the scientific outcomes of the conference 11th Days of Bosnian-Herzegovinian American Academy of Arts and Sciences, held in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina, June 20-23, 2019. Including innovative applications of advanced technologies, it offers a uniquely comprehensive, multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary overview of the latest developments in a broad range of technologies and methodologies, viewed through the prism of computing, networking, information technology, robotics, complex systems, communications, energy, mechanical engineering, economics and medicine, among others.
