System Innovation for a World in Transition: Applied System Innovation IX. Proceedings of the 9th International Conference on Applied System ... 2023 (Smart Science, Design & Technology)

System Innovation for a World in Transition: Applied System Innovation IX includes the contributions presented at the IEEE 9th International Conference on Applied System Innovation (ICASI 2023, Chiba, Japan, 21-25 April 2023). The conference received more than 600 submitted papers from 12 different countries, whereby roughly one quarter of these papers was selected to present at ICASI 2023. The book aims to provide an integrated communication platform for researchers from a wide range of topics including information technology, communication science, applied mathematics, computer science, advanced material science, and engineering. Hopefully, it will enhance interdisciplinary collaborations between science and engineering technologists in the fields of academics and related industries

Dr. Artde D.K.T. Lam was born in Hong Kong on February 23, 1965. He received the B.S. degree in mechanical engineering from National Cheng Kung University (NCKU), Tainan, Taiwan, in 1987, and the Ph.D. degree in mechanical engineering (in field of mechanical design) from National Sun Yat-Sen University (NSYSU), Kaohsiung, Taiwan, in 1993. Currently, he is a Distinguished Professor in Department of Digital Design, Fujian University of Technology, Fuzhou, Fujian, P. R. China. His current research interests include nanotechnology, innovation design, creative design and Fractal Theory.

Dr. Stephen D. Prior has been working in the area of Field Robotics for the past 30 years. His research interest in autonomous systems relates to a shortlisted entry to the MoD Grand Challenge event in August 2008, where he led a team to design, make and test a novel drone, which consisted of a patented Y6 arrangement. On the basis of this, he founded the Autonomous Systems Lab and has been researching with a small team of staff/students working on defence-related robotic technologies. His team won the DARPA UAVForge competition in 2012, and he continues to lead teams to success in the annual IMechE UAS Challenge event. He is on the editorial board for the International Journal of Micro Air Vehicles & Unmanned Systems and has published widely on the subject. During the last few years he co-founded a Tethered UAS company developing a persistent stare capability and is the CEO of Hybrid Drones Ltd, who are developing a heavy-lift hybrid, last-mile resupply drone.

Dr. Siu-Tsen Shen has studied widely, gaining her Master degree in Industrial Design Research from the Design Academy of Eindhoven, and her PhD in Design from Goldsmiths College, University of London. She has been a visiting professor at UCL and Middlesex University, UK and is currently a Professor in Multimedia Design at the National Formosa University, Taiwan. Her research interests lie in the areas of HCI, User-Centred Design, Cross-Cultural Research, User Interface Design, and Design Team Formation using Personality Type. She has taught on a number of different programmes including Introduction to Multimedia Design, Creative Thinking & Design Methods, Cognitive Psychology and Emerging Technology. She is an editor in chief in Journal of Multimedia Art, Design and Education (MADE) (ISSN 2634-095X; ISSN 2634-1395) and Journal of Cultural and Creative Industries Research (ISSN 2221-6170). She leads a technical committee for Innovation in Design, Communication and Engineering (ICICE) and International Conference on Applied System Innovation (ICASI).

Dr. Sheng-Joue Young was born in Tainan, Taiwan on June 22, 1981. He received his B.S. degree from Department of Physics, National Changhua University of Education, Changhua, Taiwan in 2003, M.S. and Ph.D. degree from Institute of Electro-Optical Science and Engineering and Institute of Microelectronics, National Cheng Kung University (NCKU), Taiwan in 2005 and 2008, respectively. He was a visiting research student with the Graduate School of Engineering, Chiba University, Chiba, Japan from July 2007 to September 2007. In 2010, he became an Associate Professor with the Department of Electronic Engineering, National Formosa University (NFU), Yunlin, Taiwan, and was promoted to Associate Professor on August 01, 2013. He is also a Distinguished Professor of the Institute of Creative Industries Research, Fuzhou University; period from Jan. 1, 2014 to Dec. 31, 2014, and guide the Institute to carry out academic research. His current research interests include semiconductor physics, optoelectronic devices and nanotechnology. He has published more than 100 SCI and EI papers in recent years.

Dr. Liang-Wen Ji received the B.S. degree in physics, the M.S. degree in material science, and the Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering from National Cheng Kung University (NCKU), Tainan, Taiwan. In 2005, he became an Associate Professor with the Institute of Electro-Optical and Materials Science, National Formosa University (NFU), Yunlin, Taiwan, and was promoted to Full Professor in 2007. His current research interests include semiconductor physics, optoelectronics, and nanotechnology. He is a iTIKI Fellow. He is also a member of IEEE.
