Engineering Materials, Energy, Management and Control

Review from Ringgold Inc., ProtoView: The conference was technically international, but only a handful of contributors are from outside China. Nearly 200 papers are arranged in sections on information technology and energy engineering; engineering materials and energy based on information; and materials, management, and control based on information engineering. Among the topics are building a risk-aware adaptive trust negotiation framework, generating descriptive text for image search results, carbon emissions embodied in the international trade of China, producing ethanol from corn stover using soaking pretreatment, a smallest cache utility algorithm based on popularity, materials for solar thermal collectors, an optimal rescheduling mechanism of modern enterprise manufacturing resources, electronic commerce security based on a security engineering life cycle, and designing and implementing a dynamic query component based on neural networks. The two volumes are paged and indexed together.
