English | 2021 | ISBN: 0367461498 , 978-0367461492 | 188 pages | True PDF | 6.38 MB In today's digital world, the words "smart" and intelligent" are now used to label devices, machinery, systems, and even environments. What is a "smart" system? Is "smart" synonymous to "intelligent"? If not, what does an "intelligent system" mean? Are all the smart systems intelligent? This book tries to answer these questions through summarizing existing research in various areas and providing new research findings.

But many managers can be poorly equipped to deal with it: the more casual ways of managing in a physical office simply don't work with remote teams, and most tasks will be more challenging when conducted at a distance. Aspects of this will be great news for some people: managing remote teams can often raise the bar for leaders and managers, as well as for the teams themselves. But office-based, face-to-face leadership, while certainly effective, is often more informal and ad hoc, and a number of basic management tasks can be much harder to complete remotely:- managing workloads and performance;- resolving problems and miscommunications;- motivation (and the lack of);- professional development and ongoing training; and- identifying, setting and measuring goals and targets.This new title shows how leaders, managers and team members can raise their games to meet the challenges of 21st century leadership and our new age of working.

These native residents, derived from the building blocks of planets, contain valuable information. By studying them in detail, we may learn about the processes that occurred from the Sun's birth to the emergence of the solar system as we know it today. Small Bodies of the Solar System paints a detailed picture of the space missions, laboratory experiments and computer experiments behind our current understanding of the comets, minor planets, meteors and meteorites. With a rich selection of pictures, this book combines personal reflection, poetic imagery with a mathematical and physical overview to introduce the reader to these small wonders of our universe.

English | 2021 | ISBN: 036756503X | 175 pages | pdf | 6.09 MB This book presents analysis and design for a class of stochastic systems with semi-Markovian jump parameters. It explores systematic analysis of semi-Markovian jump systems via sliding mode control strategy which makes up the shortages in the analysis and design of stochastic systems. This text provides a novel estimation method to deal with the stochastic stability of semi-Markovian jump systems along with design of novel integral sliding surface. Finally, Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy model approach is brought to deal with system nonlinearities and fuzzy sliding mode control laws are provided to ensure the stabilization purpose.
