Cover of Drilling of Polymer-Matrix Composites
This brief focus on drilling of polymer matrix composites for aerospace and defence applications. It gives an introduction to machining of polymer composites and discusses drilling as a processing of composites.

Cover of Computational Methods for Application in Industry 4.0

This book presents computational and statistical methods used by intelligent systems within the concept of Industry 4.0. The methods include among others evolution-based and swarm intelligence-based methods. Each method is explained in its fundamental aspects, while some notable bibliography is provided for further reading. This book describes each methods' principles and compares them. It is intended for researchers who are new in computational and statistical methods but also to experienced users.

Cover of Design Thinking to Digital Thinking
This book outlines the paradigm shift from design to digital thinking. This book is primarily intended to provide researchers and students an overview of the current state of affairs dealing with design thinking process and its transition to digital era.
