Trustworthy AI: From Theory to Practice
2024Ferhat Ozgur Catak and Murat Kuzlu
This comprehensive book covers the concept of trustworthy AI, which is an essential paradigm in today's AI-based system. It is designed for developers, researchers, and end-users seeking a deep understanding of how AI systems are ethical, reliable, and equitable. The book begins by addressing the principles of trustworthy AI and their importance in high-risk applications like healthcare, finance, autonomous vehicles, and law.
The core of this book is an exploration of the six principles of trustworthy AI, i.e. reliability, transparency, fairness, accountability, inclusiveness, privacy, and security. Each principle is thoroughly examined, demonstrating how they interact with AI systems to make them more efficient, and robust but also ethical, and equitable.
This book explores the concept of transparency in depth, highlighting the necessity for AI systems to be understandable and accessible to all stakeholders. Fairness is examined as a critical aspect, focusing on designing and deploying AI systems that mitigate biases and offer equitable outcomes for all. It also covers AI systems' accountability, inclusiveness, privacy, and security. It is a big challenge to develop AI technologies that are advanced in capabilities and uphold the highest ethical standards, building trust among users and stakeholders.
This book is written for anyone involved in AI development, deployment, and testing. It provides theoretical knowledge along with practical guidance. It serves as a comprehensive guide to transforming AI from a powerful tool into a force for good, aligning with human values and principles of fairness and transparency. As a result, readers will gain the knowledge and skill to create effective strategies for trustworthy AI, which is not just technologically advanced but also ethically and socially responsible.

Digitalization of Power Markets and Systems Using Energy Informatics
2021Umit Cali, Murat Kuzlu, Manisa Pipattanasomporn, James Kempf, and Linquan Bai
The objective of this textbook is to introduce students and professionals to fundamental principles and techniques and emerging technologies in energy informatics and the digitalization of power markets and systems. The book covers such areas as smart grids and artificial intelligence (AI) and distributed ledger technology (DLT), with a focus on information and communication technologies (ICT) deployed to modernize the electric energy infrastructure. It also provides an overview of the smart grid and its main components: smart grid applications at transmission, distribution, and customer level, network requirements with communications technologies, and standards and protocols. In addition, the book addresses emerging technologies and trends in next-generation power systems, i.e., energy informatics, such as digital green shift, energy cyber-physical-social systems (E-CPSS), energy IoT, energy blockchain, and advanced optimization. Future aspects of digitalized power markets and systems will be discussed with real-world energy informatics projects. The book is designed to be a core text in upper-undergraduate and graduate courses such as Introduction to Smart Grids, Digitalization of Power Systems, and Advanced Power System Topics in Energy Informatics.

Product Realization: A Comprehensive Approach
2009Mileta Tomovic (Editor) and Shaoping Wang (Editor)
Product Realization: A Comprehensive Approach is based on selected papers presented at the International Conference on Comprehensive Product Realization 2007 (ICCPR2007). The extended papers will provide the opportunity for scholars from all around the world to discuss their academic programs, identify research opportunities, and initiate joint research programs in the area of comprehensive product realization. Engineering design has evolved from an isolated semi-empirical activity to a highly interconnected, multidisciplinary product realization collaborative process. The scope of the book will focus on a number of themes within the framework of the conference that are deemed essential to educating the next generation of students and practicing engineers in the area of product realization.

Programmable Logic Controllers: Programming Methods and Applications
2004John R. Hackworth (Author) and Frederick D. Hackworth, Jr. (Author)
Programmable Logic Controllers provides the student with a general working knowledge of the various PLC brands and models. Programming concepts applicable to virtually all controllers are discussed, and practical programming problems are presented throughout the text. A basic understanding of AC/DC circuits, electronic devices (including thyristors), basic logic gates, flip-flops, Boolean algebra, and college algebra and trigonometry is a prerequisite. The PLC simulation CD that accompanies the text provides hands-on programming experience.
