Degraded rangelands undergo continual shifts in the appearance and distribution of plant life. The nature of these changes however is subtle: between seasons seedlings sprout up and some flourish while others perish, meanwhile, over…
Drought has become a critical global threat with significant societal impact. Existing drought monitoring solutions primarily focus on assessing drought severity using quantitative measurements, overlooking the diverse societal impact of…
The design of work organisation systems with automated equipment is facing new challenges and the emergence of new concepts. The social aspects that are related with new concepts on the complex work environments (CWE) are becoming more…
In an era dominated by the Internet of Things, ensuring the longevity and sustainability of IoT devices has emerged as a pressing concern. This study explores the various complex difficulties which contributed to the early decommissioning…
The complex relationship between climate shocks, migration, and adaptation hampers a rigorous understanding of the heterogeneous mobility outcomes of farm households exposed to climate risk. To unpack this heterogeneity, the analysis…
Urban climate resilience requires more than high-resolution data; it demands systems that embed data collection, interpretation, and action within the daily lives of citizens. This chapter presents a scalable, citizen-centric framework that…
In recent century, with developing of equipment, using of the internet and things connected to the internet is growing. Therefore, the need for informing in the process of expanding the scope of its application is very necessary and…
Hybrid working strategies have become, and will continue to be, the norm for many offices. This raises two considerations: newly unoccupied spaces needlessly consume energy, and the occupied spaces need to be effectively used to facilitate…
The increasing demand for sustainable energy solutions has driven the integration of digitalized buildings into the power grid, leveraging Internet-of-Things (IoT) technologies to enhance energy efficiency and operational performance.…
This chapter draws from across the foregoing chapters discussing many core HDI approaches and disciplinary perspectives to consider the specific application of HDI in home network security. While much work has considered the challenges of…
Modern Internet of Things (IoT) environments are monitored via a large number of IoT enabled sensing devices, with the data acquisition and processing infrastructure setting restrictions in terms of computational power and energy resources.…
The design of optimal disturbance accommodation and servomechanism controllers with limited plant model information is considered in this paper. Their closed-loop performance are compared using a performance metric called competitive ratio…
With the advent of the Internet of Things (IoT), the percentage of global emissions attributable to Information Systems is expected to further increase in the coming years, due to a proliferation of Internet-connected devices omnipresent in…
Most people spend up to 90 % of their time indoors. However, literature in the field of facility management and related disciplines mostly focus on energy and cost saving aspects of buildings. Especially in the area of commercial buildings,…
In recent times, there has been an increasing awareness about imminent environmental challenges, resulting in people showing a stronger dedication to taking care of the environment and nurturing green life. The current $19.6 billion indoor…
Ecologists and conservation biologists need to identify the relative importance of species to make sound management decisions and effectively allocate scarce resources. We introduce a new method, termed environ centrality, to determine the…
As the adoption of IoT-based smart homes continues to grow, the importance of addressing potential conflicts becomes increasingly vital for ensuring seamless functionality and user satisfaction. In this survey, we introduce a novel conflict…
In this chapter, we report on our experience with domestic flexible electric energy demand based on a regular commercial (HVAC)-based heating system in a house. Our focus is on investigating the predictability of the energy demand of the…
Advances in sensing, networking, and actuation technologies have resulted in the IoT wave that is expected to revolutionize all aspects of modern society. This paper focuses on the new challenges of privacy that arise in IoT in the context…
The rapid development of "smart" devices leads to explosive growth of unprotected or partially protected home networks. These networks are easy prey for unauthorized access, the collection of personal information (including from…
