Introduction to Stochastic Processes Using R
by Sivaprasad Madhira Shailaja DeshmukhThis textbook presents some basic stochastic processes, mainly Markov processes. It begins with a brief introduction to the framework of stochastic processes followed by the thorough discussion on Markov chains, which is the simplest and the most important class of stochastic processes. The book then elaborates the theory of Markov chains in detail including classification of states, the first passage distribution, the concept of periodicity and the limiting behaviour of a Markov chain in terms of associated stationary and long run distributions. The book first illustrates the theory for some typical Markov chains, such as random walk, gambler's ruin problem, Ehrenfest model and Bienayme-Galton-Watson branching process; and then extends the discussion when time parameter is continuous. It presents some important examples of a continuous time Markov chain, which include Poisson process, birth process, death process, birth and death processes and their variations. These processes play a fundamental role in the theory and applications in queuing and inventory models, population growth, epidemiology and engineering systems. The book studies in detail the Poisson process, which is the most frequently applied stochastic process in a variety of fields, with its extension to a renewal process. The book also presents important basic concepts on Brownian motion process, a stochastic process of historic importance. It covers its few extensions and variations, such as Brownian bridge, geometric Brownian motion process, which have applications in finance, stock markets, inventory etc. The book is designed primarily to serve as a textbook for a one semester introductory course in stochastic processes, in a post-graduate program, such as Statistics, Mathematics, Data Science and Finance. It can also be used for relevant courses in other disciplines. Additionally, it provides sufficient background material for studying inference in stochastic processes. The book thus fulfils the need of a concise but clear and student-friendly introduction to various types of stochastic processes.
Network Analysis and Architecture (Signals and Communication Technology)
by Yu-Chu Tian Jing GaoThis book covers network analysis and architecture for large-scale computer network planning. Networks and the Internet are essential for modern industries and societies.

This demands a deep understanding of the concepts, principles, processes, approaches, and good practices of advanced network planning. More specifically, emphasizing service-based networking, the book introduces structured processes for network planning, provides systematic approaches for network analysis and architecture, develops network planning specifications, and discusses high-level network architectural models from various perspectives. It also offers detailed discussions on component-based architecture about addressing, routing, performance, management, and security and privacy. Recent developments in data centers, virtualization, and cloud are also embedded into the network architecture. Moreover, the book includes a comprehensive introduction to building practical TCP/IP network communications via sockets with practical examples. The book is suitable for use as a textbook for senior undergraduate and postgraduate students or as a reference book for network practitioners looking to develop or enhance their skills in network planning.

Intelligent Industrial Internet Systems: Architecture, Deployment and Applications
by Wanchun Dou Xiaolong Xu Shui YuIn the process of transforming modern manufacturing into intelligent manufacturing, more and more manufacturing processes are being deployed digitally on the Internet. As a novel digital industrial infrastructure and new application ecology, Industrial Internet could integrate the novel information and communication technology into various industrial manufacturing processes, through the safe and reliable intelligent interconnection of factors concerning people, machines and things. It aims at significantly improving the digitalization, networking and intelligence of manufacturing processes through the comprehensive interconnection of all manufacturing factors. To deploy and run traditional manufacturing processes on Industrial Internet efficiently, corresponding digital technical means are called for. These technical means play an important role in many potential applications of intelligent manufacturing, e.g. integrating product lifecycle data, strengthening industrial chain cooperation, providing decision-making service information oriented on the production organization process, and providing data support for product optimization and upgrading.This book focuses on the theory, techniques and means for integrating intelligent Industrial Internet applications deployed via mobile edge computing. Concretely, it mainly studies the intelligent theory, techniques and means from a problem-driven and demand-driven perspective, which supports collaborative design, agile manufacturing, remote operation and maintenance on Industrial Internet. These technologies primarily include Industrial Internet-centric intelligent resource scheduling methods, various types of industrial data privacy protection, intelligent version management technologies supporting digital twin applications, various data mining algorithms for intelligent execution of business processes, etc. Given its scope, the book offers a valuable theoretical and technical resource for project managers, technical developers, researchers, educators and students at colleges and universities.
Robot Control and Calibration: Innovative Control Schemes and Calibration Algorithms (SpringerBriefs in Computer Science)
by Xin Luo Zhibin Li Long Jin Shuai LiThis book mainly shows readers how to calibrate and control robots. In this regard, it proposes three control schemes: an error-summation enhanced Newton algorithm for model predictive control; RNN for solving perturbed time-varying underdetermined linear systems; and a new joint-drift-free scheme aided with projected ZNN, which can effectively improve robot control accuracy. Moreover, the book develops four advanced algorithms for robot calibration – Levenberg-Marquarelt with diversified regularizations; improved covariance matrix adaptive evolution strategy; quadratic interpolated beetle antennae search algorithm; and a novel variable step-size Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm – which can effectively enhance robot positioning accuracy. In addition, it is exceedingly difficult for experts in other fields to conduct robot arm calibration studies without calibration data. Thus, this book provides a publicly available dataset to assist researchers from other fields in conducting calibration experiments and validating their ideas. The book also discusses six regularization schemes based on its robot error models, i.e., L1, L2, dropout, elastic, log, and swish. Robots’ positioning accuracy is significantly improved after calibration. Using the control and calibration methods developed here, readers will be ready to conduct their own research and experiments.
