This book focuses on collecting some of the best results with the goal, dealing with the important and efficient combination of mathematics and computational intelligence, with a stress of fuzzy systems, and fuzzy logic.

Artificial intelligence appears nowadays very much in the media, and also in the practice. In addition, every day, thousands of automatic intelligent systems for decision making are designed and applied around the world. In their design, many advanced techniques based on mathematics and computational intelligence are considered and used. Therefore, it is fundamental to continuously work on novel approaches in these areas and research models and algorithms with foundation in the mutual relationship of these two fields. 

Naturally, an important part of this issue focuses on the applications of these both areas, taking a special interest in the development and application of mathematics, artificial intelligence, and automatic reasoning tools applicable to Digital Forensics, also following the main objective of the COST Action DigForASP-CA17124.

This book captures the dynamic spirit of technological advancement and interdisciplinary collaboration showcased at the sixth edition of the conference. This second volume of the proceedings from the VI International Conference on Computer Science, Electronics and Industrial Engineering (CSEI 2024) presents a wide-ranging collection of innovative research under the theme “Emerging Technologies in Communication, Manufacturing, and Renewable Energy Systems.” 

The contributions span several key areas where digital transformation is reshaping traditional practices. Educational informatics features prominently, demonstrating how virtual reality, augmented reality, and artificial intelligence are creating more inclusive and personalized learning environments. These developments are particularly impactful in areas such as chemistry education, traffic safety training, and the support of learners with special educational needs.

Further chapters explore the integration of cyber-physical systems and Internet of Things technologies in applications ranging from smart manufacturing to precision agriculture. Healthcare innovation also finds its place, with research on early detection of neurodegenerative diseases and advanced physiological signal processing, reflecting the convergence of digital intelligence and human wellbeing.

The book also delves into transformative approaches in production and industrial engineering. From sustainable agro-industrial processes to occupational safety under the Industry 5.0 paradigm, authors explore how human-centered and environmentally conscious design is becoming a cornerstone of technological development. Software innovations and digital tools highlight the importance of usability and efficiency, with contributions such as gamified rehabilitation systems and agricultural management platforms.

Finally, advances in automated manufacturing and control systems reveal how robotics and real-time monitoring are driving efficiency and resilience across sectors—from agricultural automation to aerospace training systems.

This book captures extraordinary research from the VI International Conference on Computer Science, Electronics, and Industrial Engineering (CSEI 2024), where innovation meets real-world impact.

This book applies the powerful asymptotic limit theorems of information and control theories to understanding the dynamics of dysfunction in cognitive cultural artifacts encompassing individual minds, small social groupings, institutions, machine systems, and their many critical composites. A particular focus is on attempts to build ‘intelligent machines’ that would supposedly rival or surpass human minds. All such efforts are blindsided by the reality that all such machines are cultural artifacts of those who build them, closely reflecting cultural priorities and blindness, and that intelligent entities lacking the feedback of high-speed embodiment must endure exaggerated levels of failure by fabulation and hallucination. A principal feature is the detailed working-out of many probability models that can serve as the foundation of statistical tools for the analysis of real-time, real-world data on cognitive failure across a broad range of modes, scales, and levels of organization.

Robotics and Artificial Intelligence hold the potential of significantly augmenting human cognitive and physical performance, giving light-speed and extreme accuracy to human systems and processes, contributing to overcome some of the most complex challenges that humankind faces nowadays. But intelligent technologies also pose high risks to human safety, autonomy and dignity and they can also negatively impact the environment affecting and even threatening the planet’s sustainability and the life of other species.

By questioning the ontological status of intelligent tools, this book analyzes their level of efficiency and ethical performance, across distinct domains and settings, highlighting the role of standardisation, certification and governance in the production and deployment of beneficial intelligent systems.

The present book is a fundamental reading both to academia and industry, i.e. to all those involved in the design, production and safe and ethical deployment of intelligent technologies.
