Book excerpt: In the first chapter of this book, José M. Chaves-González discusses DNA sequence design and proposes a multi-objective approach using swarm intelligence to solve optimisation issues. In the second chapter, Alina Andreica suggests the significance of using systematically applied mathematical algorithms to design and implement software. Additionally, she proposes specific mathematical models of problems of equivalence and simplification. Next, Galina M. Antonova provides a supplement of findings presented in the book Pattern Recognition: Practices, Perspectives and Challenges (D B Vincent; Nova Science Publishers Inc, 2013) in the third chapter. In the fourth chapter, Mohammed Blej and Mostafa Azizi propose the use of fuzzy logic in order to efficiently schedule in real-time systems. Following this, in the fifth chapter José F L Naranjo, Julio C B Torres, and Roberto A Tenenbaum explore an advantageous configuration for spatial interpolation of Head Related Impulse Responses, or HRIRs, through artificial neural networks, making this appropriate for auralisation systems. Márcia Horn, Sandro Sawicki, Fabricia Roos-Frantz, Rafael Z Frantz, and Igor G Haugg examine the performance of application integration solutions through the development of formal models of simulation established on Markov chains in the sixth chapter. Next, the seventh chapter by Alexsandro Q Lencina, Roberto S Cargnin, Fabricia Roos-Frantz, Rafael Z Frantz, and Sandro Sawicki presents a case study on an integration solution to a real-world problem of integration in managing research results. Following this, the eighth chapter by Seiichi Nakamori explores continual temperature regulation in a closed space using the Arduino program. In the ninth and final chapter, Jonghoek Kim discusses the building of an information (sensor) network through numerous robots setting out information nodes.
