Fast Satellite Attitude Maneuver and Control introduces the concept
of agile satellites and corresponding fast maneuver attitude
control systems, systematically and comprehensively presenting
recent research results of fast maneuver attitude control for agile
satellites by using advanced nonlinear control techniques. This
reference book focuses on modeling and attitude control,
considering different actuator combinations, actuator installation
deviation, actuator fault, and flexible appendage coupling effect
for agile satellites. The book provides a unified platform for
understanding and applicability of agile satellites fast maneuverer
and stabilization control for different purposes. It will be an
excellent resource for researchers working on spacecraft design,
nonlinear control systems, vehicle systems and complex control
systems.
This book combines issues several critical ones in the energy field
(low-energy technologies, renewable energies such as the hydrogen
economy, and geothermal energy). Moving towards a more sustainable
world requires a complete revolution in the way we manage energy
and resources. However, from an academic perspective, this theme is
so broad that most educators and researchers tend to focus on just
one aspect, and maintaining the broad viewpoint which is necessary
for making strategic judgments becomes difficult. Tohoku University
addressed this challenge when developing a new education and
training program for environmental leaders and brought together the
extensive range of expertise available in specific fields into one
special course which forms the basis of this book. Now in one
volume, both students and educators can be brought up to date on a
wide range of critical issues currently being addressed in the
field of energy and resources. Chapters on resources include
availability (for instance, rare earth metals), extraction and
recycling of metals and plastics, and technological solutions to
specific waste-disposal problems. In addition, broader strategic
issues such as limits to growth and the interaction between the
economic system and environmental issues are addressed. Even though
each chapter provides topical data and knowledge from disparate and
specialized fields, the book is written at a level that is readily
understandable by students from all scientific, engineering, and
humanities fields.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the IFIP WG 8.4,
8.9, TC 5 International Cross Domain Conference and Workshop on
Availability, Reliability and Security, CD-ARES 2012, held in
Prague, Czech Republic, in August 2012. The 50 revised papers
presented were carefully reviewed and selected for inclusion in the
volume. The papers concentrate on the many aspects of information
systems bridging the gap between research results in computer
science and the many application fields. They are organized in the
following topical sections: cross-domain applications: aspects of
modeling and validation; trust,security, privacy, and safety;
mobile applications; data processing and management; retrieval and
complex query processing; e-commerce; and papers from the colocated
International Workshop on Security and Cognitive Informatics for
Homeland Defense, SeCIHD 2012.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the IFIP WG
8.4/8.9 International Cross Domain Conference and Workshop on
Availability, Reliability and Security - Multidisciplinary Research
and Practice for Business, Enterprise and Health Information
Systems, ARGES 2011, held in Vienna, Austria, in August 2011.The 29
revised papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected for
inclusion in the volume. The papers concentrate on the many aspects
of availability, reliability and security for information systems
as a discipline bridging the application fields and the well-
defined computer science field. They are organized in three
sections: multidisciplinary research and practice for business,
enterprise and health information systems; massive information
sharing and integration and electronic healthcare; and papers from
the colocated International Workshop on Security and Cognitive
Informatics for Homeland Defense.
Estimation and Control of Large Scale Networked Systems is the
first book that systematically summarizes results on large-scale
networked systems. In addition, the book also summarizes the most
recent results on structure identification of a networked system,
attack identification and prevention. Readers will find the
necessary mathematical knowledge for studying large-scale networked
systems, as well as a systematic description of the current status
of this field, the features of these systems, difficulties in
dealing with state estimation and controller design, and major
achievements. Numerical examples in chapters provide strong
application backgrounds and/or are abstracted from actual
engineering problems, such as gene regulation networks and
electricity power systems. This book is an ideal resource for
researchers in the field of systems and control engineering.
