Aktuell gibt es grosse neue Herausforderungen an die Hersteller von Automatisierungslosungen, um die vom Markt geforderte Flexibilitat gewahrleisten zu konnen. So mussen zum Einen Spezifikationstechniken entwickelt und angewendet werden, die der Komplexitat verteilter Systeme gerecht werden und nicht schon in der Phase der Spezifizierung fur erhohte Verwirrung sorgen. Zum Anderen mussen aber auch aktuelle Losungen fur die softwaretechnische Realisierung der Automatisierung nach und nach durch neuere, flexiblere Ansatze ersetzt werden. Die Moglichkeit der Verifizierbarkeit von Automatisierungslosungen sollte in diesem Kontext auch nicht ausser Acht gelassen werden. In den letzten Jahren haben sich hierzu verschiedene Technologien zum modellbasierten Steuerungsentwurf herausgebildet, auf welche in dieser Arbeit eingegangen wird. Diese Technologien werden methodisch miteinander verknupft, um eine glatte Ingenieursarbeit ohne Bruchstellen zu gewahrleisten. In dieser Arbeit wird speziell auf Vorgehensweisen zum verteilten Steuerungsentwurf eingegangen, die die Wiederverwendbarkeit von Steuerungskomponenten im Besonderen gewahrleisten.

Securing a sustainable supply chain is crucial for business and the future of humanity. Intending to lower waste and carbon emissions, businesses are investing more money in sustainability efforts. However, sustainability measures that might save costs, improve forecasting, and optimize business operations are frequently disregarded, especially during the post-pandemic era. The Handbook of Research on Designing Sustainable Supply Chains to Achieve a Circular Economy analyzes various approaches and strategies for developing sustainable supply chain capabilities to achieve circular economies; builds and develops models, frameworks, and theoretical concepts by focusing on the role of a sustainable supply chain leading to a circular economy; and provides a platform where new concepts and plans for managing sustainable supply chains in the post-pandemic era with the aid of Industry 4.0 as enablers are discussed. Covering key topics such as tourism, healthcare, transportation, and governance, this major reference work is ideal for industry professionals, government officials, business owners, managers, entrepreneurs, policymakers, scholars, researchers, academicians, instructors, and students.

Safety in the process industries is critical for those who work with chemicals and hazardous substances or processes. The field of loss prevention is, and continues to be, of supreme importance to countless companies, municipalities and governments around the world, and Lees' is a detailed reference to defending against hazards. Recognized as the standard work for chemical and process engineering safety professionals, it provides the most complete collection of information on the theory, practice, design elements, equipment, regulations and laws covering the field of process safety. An entire library of alternative books (and cross-referencing systems) would be needed to replace or improve upon it, but everything of importance to safety professionals, engineers and managers can be found in this all-encompassing three volume reference instead. - The process safety encyclopedia, trusted worldwide for over 30 years - Now available in print and online, to aid searchability and portability - Over 3,600 print pages cover the full scope of process safety and loss prevention, compiling theory, practice, standards, legislation, case studies and lessons learned in one resource as opposed to multiple sources

This publication is the Decision System for a community-type society. A decision system describes the formal structuring of decisions involving a comprehensive information system that resolves into a modification to the state-dynamic of the material environment. A decision system is a collection of information-processing components -- often involving humans and automation (e.g., computing) -- that interact toward a common set of objectives. This decision system is designed to coordinate and control the flow of resources for global accessibility to all goods and services. To navigate in common, humanity must also decide in common. Herein, individuals maintain a relationship to resources that focuses on access rather than possession, maximizing the advantages of sharing, and incentivizing cooperative, rather than competitive, interest. All requirements relevant to human fulfillment and ecological well-being are factored in to the allocation of resources, optimizing quality-of-life for all, while ensuring the persistence of the commons. The standard’s decision processes produce tasks that are acted upon by an intersystem (a.k.a., “interdisciplinary”) team involving the coordinated planning and operation of projects. Through this comprehensive and transparent decisioning process individuals know precisely what needs to be accomplished to sustain and evolve their fulfillment. Herein, through formalized decisioning and cooperation humanity may continuously restructure society toward a higher potential dynamic of life experience for all. The use of a common social approach and data set allows for the resolution of societal level decisions through common protocols and procedural algorithms, openly optimized by contributing users for aligning humanity with its stated values and requirements.

This book proposes systemic design methodologies applied to electrical energy systems, in particular analysis and system management, modeling and sizing tools. It includes 8 chapters: after an introduction to the systemic approach (history, basics & fundamental issues, index terms) for designing energy systems, this book presents two different graphical formalisms especially dedicated to multidisciplinary devices modeling, synthesis and analysis: Bond Graph and COG/EMR. Other systemic analysis approaches for quality and stability of systems, as well as for safety and robustness analysis tools are also proposed. One chapter is dedicated to energy management and another is focused on Monte Carlo algorithms for electrical systems and networks sizing. The aim of this book is to summarize design methodologies based in particular on a systemic viewpoint, by considering the system as a whole. These methods and tools are proposed by the most important French research laboratories, which have many scientific partnerships with other European and international research institutions. Scientists and engineers in the field of electrical engineering, especially teachers/researchers because of the focus on methodological issues, will find this book extremely useful, as will PhD and Masters students in this field.
