Towards Paraconsistent Engineering

This book presents a collection of contributions from related logics to applied paraconsistency. Moreover, all of them are dedicated to Jair Minoro Abe,on the occasion of his sixtieth birthday. He is one of the experts in Paraconsistent Engineering, who developed the so-called annotated logics. The book includes important contributions on foundations and applications of paraconsistent logics in connection with engineering, mathematical logic, philosophical logic, computer science, physics, economics, and biology. It will be of interest to students and researchers, who are working on engineering and logic.

This book contains contributions from several international authors to topics of current interest, such as AI, intelligent systems, and logic applications in different branches of knowledge. Foundational aspects of the various techniques are also covered, notably non-classical formalisms. The tome is intended for researchers, undergraduate and graduate students, and lay readers. The book is dedicated to researcher Seiki Akama on his sixtieth birthday. Akama is one of the critical scientists who dedicated himself to understanding the use of alternative logic in the various issues of AI, ranging from its foundations to concrete applications and philosophical reflections.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference proceedings of the 10th International Conference on Fundamentals of Software Engineering, FSEN 2023, held Tehran, Iran in May 4-5, 2023. The 9 full papers and 2 short papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 19 submissions. The topics of interest in FSEN span over all aspects of formal methods, especially those related to advancing the application of formal methods in the software industry and promoting their integration with practical engineering techniques. The papers are organized in topical sections on coordination, logic, networks, parallel computation, and testing.

This book gathers a collection of high-quality, peer-reviewed research papers presented at the International Conference on Intelligent Computing, Communication and Devices (ICCD 2018), which address three core dimensions of the intelligent sciences—intelligent computing, intelligent communication, and intelligent devices. Intelligent computing includes areas such as intelligent and distributed computing, intelligent grid and cloud computing, Internet of Things, soft computing and engineering applications, data mining and knowledge discovery, semantic and web technology, hybrid systems, agent computing, bioinformatics, and recommendation systems. In turn, intelligent communication is concerned with communication and network technologies, such as mobile broadband and all-optical networks, which are the key to groundbreaking advances in intelligent communication technologies. It includes communication hardware, software and networked intelligence, mobile technologies, machine-to-machine communication networks, speech and natural language processing, routing techniques and network analytics, wireless ad hoc and sensor networks, communications and information security, signal, image and video processing, network management, and traffic engineering. Lastly, intelligent devices refer to any equipment, instruments, or machines that have their own computing capability, and covers areas such as embedded systems, radiofrequency identification (RFID), radiofrequency microelectromechanical systems (RF MEMS), very large-scale integration (VLSI) design and electronic devices, analog and mixed-signal integrated circuit (IC) design and testing, microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) and microsystems, solar cells and photonics, nanodevices, single electron and spintronic devices, space electronics, and intelligent robotics.

The proceedings publishes new research results of scholars from the First International Conference on Agriculture and Information (ICAIT2019) organized by IRNet International Academic Communication Center, held during November 22-24, 2019. The book covers works from active researchers who are working on collaboration of agriculture and various information technologies such as ICT (Information and Communication Technologies) applicable/applied to agricultural produce, manufacturing preservation and distribution of agricultural products, etc. The book focuses on theory, design, development, testing and evaluation of all information technologies applicable/applied to various parts of agriculture and its infrastructure. The topics included are information technologies applicable to smart agriculture, intelligent information systems for smart farm systems, web-based intelligent information systems on agriculture, ICT-based marketing of agricultural products, agricultural product consumption network systems, IoT for agricultural produce and products, soft computing theories, intelligent management for agriculture, data science techniques for agriculture.

The volume presents a collection of peer-reviewed articles from the 9th KES International Conference on Intelligent Decision Technologies (KES-IDT-17), held in Vilamoura, Algarve, Portugal on 21–23 June 2017. The conference addressed critical areas of computer science, as well as promoting knowledge transfer and the generation of new ideas in the field of intelligent decision making, project management and data analysis. The range of topics addressed includes methods of classification, prediction, data analysis, decision support, modeling, social media and many more in such diverse areas as finance, linguistics, management and transportation.

This volume deals with the relation between faith and reason, and brings the latest developments of modern logic into the scene. Faith and rationality are two perennial key concepts in the history of ideas. Philosophers and theologians have struggled to bring into harmony these otherwise conflicting concepts. Despite the diversity of approaches about what rationality effectively means, logic remains the cannon of objective and rational thought. The chapters in this volume analyze several issues pertaining to the philosophy of religion and philosophical theology from the perspective of their relation to logic and the benefit they can derive from the use of modern logic tools. The book is divided into five parts: (I) Introduction, (II) Analytic Philosophy of Religion, (III) Logical Philosophy of Religion, (IV) Computational Philosophy and Religion and (V) Logic, Language and Religion. This text appeals to students and researchers in the field.
