Technological Innovation for Cloud-Based Engineering Systems : 6th IFIP WG 5.5/SOCOLNET Doctoral Conference on Computing, Electrical and Industrial Systems, DoCEIS 2015, Costa de Caparica, Portugal, April 13-15, 2015, Proceedings

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 6th IFIP WG 5.5/SOCOLNET Doctoral Conference on Computing, Electrical and Industrial Systems, DoCEIS 2015, held in Costa de Caparica, Portugal, in April 2015. The 54 revised full papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 119 submissions. The papers present selected results produced in engineering doctoral programs and focus on development and application of cloud-based engineering systems. Research results and ongoing work are presented, illustrated and discussed in the following areas: collaborative networks; cloud-based manufacturing; reconfigurable manufacturing; distributed computing and embedded systems; perception and signal processing; healthcare; smart monitoring systems; and renewable energy and energy-related management, decision support, simulation and power conversion.
