Connected and automated vehicles have revolutionized the way we move, granting new services on roads. This Special Issue collects contributions that address reliable and ultra-low-latency vehicular applications that range from advancements at the access layer, such as using the visible light spectrum to accommodate ultra-low-latency applications, to data dissemination solutions. Further, articles discuss edge computing, neural network-based techniques, and the use of reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RIS) to boost throughput and enhance coverage.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed proceedings of five workshops of the 13th International Conference on Web-Age Information Management, WAIM 2012, held in Harbin, China, in August 2012. The 34 revised full papers are organized in topical sections on the five following workshops: the First International Workshop on Graph Data Management and Mining (GDMM 2012), the Second International Wireless Sensor Networks Workshop (IWSN 2012), the First International Workshop on Massive Data Storage and Processing (MDSP 2012), the Third International Workshop on Unstructured Data Management (USDM 2012); the 4th International Workshop on XML Data Management (XMLDM 2012).

Being infrastructure-less and without central administration control, wireless ad-hoc networking is playing a more and more important role in extending the coverage of traditional wireless infrastructure (cellular networks, wireless LAN, etc). This book includes state-of the-art techniques and solutions for wireless ad-hoc networks. It focuses on the following topics in ad-hoc networks: vehicular ad-hoc networks, security and caching, TCP in ad-hoc networks and emerging applications. It is targeted to provide network engineers and researchers with design guidelines for large scale wireless ad hoc networks.

This book is a comprehensive introduction into Organic Computing (OC), presenting systematically the current state-of-the-art in OC. It starts with motivating examples of self-organising, self-adaptive and emergent systems, derives their common characteristics and explains the fundamental ideas for a formal characterisation of such systems. Special emphasis is given to a quantitative treatment of concepts like self-organisation, emergence, autonomy, robustness, and adaptivity. The book shows practical examples of architectures for OC systems and their applications in traffic control, grid computing, sensor networks, robotics, and smart camera systems. The extension of single OC systems into collective systems consisting of social agents based on concepts like trust and reputation is explained. OC makes heavy use of learning and optimisation technologies; a compact overview of these technologies and related approaches to self-organising systems is provided. So far, OC literature has been published with the researcher in mind. Although the existing books have tried to follow a didactical concept, they remain basically collections of scientific papers. A comprehensive and systematic account of the OC ideas, methods, and achievements in the form of a textbook which lends itself to the newcomer in this field has been missing so far. The targeted reader of this book is the master student in Computer Science, Computer Engineering or Electrical Engineering - or any other newcomer to the field of Organic Computing with some technical or Computer Science background. Readers can seek access to OC ideas from different perspectives: OC can be viewed (1) as a „philosophy“ of adaptive and self-organising - life-like - technical systems, (2) as an approach to a more quantitative and formal understanding of such systems, and finally (3) a construction method for the practitioner who wants to build such systems. In this book, we first try to convey to the reader a feeling of the special character of natural and technical self-organising and adaptive systems through a large number of illustrative examples. Then we discuss quantitative aspects of such forms of organisation, and finally we turn to methods of how to build such systems for practical applications.

Zusammenfassung: This is an open access book. Politeknik Perkeretaapian Indonesia Madiun, Indonesia, presents ICORT 2023 "Innovative for Smart, Sustainable and Safe Transportation Systems," as its main focus. In response to several world challenges, such as sustainable development, transportation issues, global convergence of information and communications technologies, along with smart systems as opportunities as well as challenges in developments for better industries, it is considered important to discover innovative approaches from science and engineering perspectives. Innovation suggests the introduction of novelty to create better solutions. Innovation in engineering and science requires contributions from multidisciplinary sectors, academics, researchers, practitioners, and involving industries
