Smart grid is a new generation of power grids that is expected to enhance its reliability and reduce carbon footprint by integrating distributed resources. Microgrid technology allows the integration of renewable energies, which come in three modes: AC, DC, or hybrid. The increasing number of DC loads, the need to reduce power loss in converting DC power to AC, and the existence of DC storage units have favored the adoption of DC microgrids. The electrification of the transportation sector has further supported the adoption of DC microgrids. A DC microgrid system comprises renewable resources, DC storage elements, DC loads, and intelligent electrical devices. It has gained interest due to its efficiency, scalability, and cost-effectiveness. DC microgrids play a crucial role in powering diverse applications such as data centers, residential areas, base stations, and electric vehicle charging stations.This book covers the design, control, and management of DC microgrids in both islanded and grid-connected modes. It focuses on ICT infrastructure, security, sensors, embedded systems, machine learning algorithms, edge/fog computing, and the socio-economic impact.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 5th International Conference on Artificial Intelligence and Knowledge Processing, AIKP 2025, held in Hyderabad, India, during October 23–25, 2025.The 22 full papers included in this book were carefully reviewed and selected from 111 submissions. They explore a broad spectrum of themes including machine learning, natural language processing, computer vision, robotics, data science, quantum AI, cognitive computing, and ethical AI.

This open access book presents peer-reviewed articles from the 2nd International Conference on Creativity, Technology, and Sustainability (CCTS 2025), held on 30 April-1 May, 2025, at Dar Al-Hekma University in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. It explores the dynamic interplay between technology and sustainability, emphasizing the need for advancements to align with Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The book includes case studies, literature reviews, and scientific works, organized into three main parts: Harnessing Technology for a Sustainable World; Diverse Applications of Technology and Creative Solutions; and Shaping a Sustainable Future.  Readers will discover how technology fosters innovation, safety, and sustainability across various fields, aligning with specific UN SDGs. Practical applications highlight sustainability awareness and responsible behavior, facilitating knowledge transfer for the public sector, innovative companies, academia, and research centers. Targeting researchers, policymakers, sustainability advocates, and decision-makers committed to achieving the UN's SDGs and Saudi Vision 2030, this book identifies key areas for attention in architecture, design, social and environmental sciences, law, and business. It serves as a valuable guide for professionals in technology-driven sectors like Artificial Intelligence and the Internet of Things, emphasizing technology's vital role in addressing sustainability challenges, enhancing efficiency, promoting environmentally friendly processes, and reducing costs, ultimately improving the quality of life for all.
