This book is a comprehensive collection of research papers that focus on enhancing resilience, intelligence, and sustainability in tunnel engineering. It presents cutting-edge design theories, innovative construction techniques, intelligent operation and maintenance methods, sustainable development strategies and engineering application practices of tunnel and underground engineering.This book systematically organizes key contributions in critical thematic areas of tunnel disaster prevention and resilience enhancement, super-large diameter shield tunnel tech, maintenance innovations, green low-carbon solutions, drill-blast method theories, operation safety control, and deep-sea floating tunnels. Key findings include advanced shield construction techniques, optimized drill-blast methods, intelligent operation tools, and deep-sea floating tunnel research and design (R&D) breakthroughs, addressing engineering challenges and sustainable goals. These contributions provide a fresh perspective on current engineering challenges and sustainable development goals.This book is tailored for tunnel engineers, researchers, project managers, and policymakers engaged in underground infrastructure development. It also serves as a valuable resource for graduate students and academics specializing in civil and tunnel engineering.

The Internet of Things (IoT) refers to the evolution of the internet as the interconnection not just of computers, but also uniquely identifiable, pervasive embedded devices. Research has estimated there will be nearly 30 billion devices on the Internet of Things within the next decade. The implementation and deployment of the IoT brings with it management challenges around seamless integration, heterogeneity, scalability, mobility, security, and many other issues. This book explores these challenges and possible solutions.Topics covered include topology control for building scalable energy efficient IoT; a survey of wireless sensor network operating systems; concepts, designs and implementation of wireless sensor network operating systems; OSIRIS - a framework for sensor-based monitoring systems; modeling and tracing events in RFID-enabled supply chains; a new clone detection approach in RFID-enabled supply chains; participatory sensing networks - a paradigm to achieve IoT applications; market structure analysis of the economics of IoT; and IoT and big data applications for urban planning and building smart cities.This book is essential reading for researchers in academia and industry developing IoT technologies - an interdisciplinary area that brings together researchers in telecommunications, sensor networks, computing and security.

This book provides a brief introduction to the theory of finitedimensional differential inclusions, and deals in depth with control of threekinds of differential inclusion systems. The authors introduce the algebraicdecomposition of convex processes, the stabilization of polytopic systems, andobservations of Luré systems. They also introduce the elemental theory offinite dimensional differential inclusions, and the properties and designs ofthe control systems described by differential inclusions. Addressing thematerial with clarity and simplicity, the book includes recent researchachievements and spans all concepts, concluding with a critical mathematicalframework. This book is intended for researchers, teachers and postgraduatestudents in the area of automatic control engineering.
