Quantum, Nano, Micro and Information Technologies

Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).The objective of this special collection was to provide a forum for researchers, educators, engineers and government officials, involved in the general areas of Quantum, Nano, Micro Technologies, mechatronics, robotics, automation, power and sensors, to present their latest research results and to exchange views on the future research paths in these fields.The result is a fascinating review of the state of the art of these topics.Some 120 selected and peer-reviewed papers look first at the four intertwined technologies of the title, then at computers, communication, and control. Among topics are a web-based case report form design for clinical trials, the emulational analysis of concrete pouring in steel-pipe arch ribs of Fei Shuiya Bridge, an evolutionary games analysis of management of research and development staff, a dynamics analysis of a novel mine disaster searching robot, intelligent knowledge for product innovation, and fatigue analysis of a diesel engine connecting rod based on the finite element method.
