About this book

This book presents the trends, challenges, and advances in Internet of Things (IoT) in the areas of industrial management and industrial engineering. The authors look at how smart environments (smart city, smart university, smart regions, smart transportation, etc.) affect the way industrial management and industrial engineering are envisioned, planned, and applied and how engineers must incorporate new ideas and methods now and in the future. Some topics include the impact of ICT on the emergency response vehicle driving time, car accident detecting systems based on machine learning algorithms, smart city platforms based on citizen reporting services, and IoT-based household energy consumption prediction using machine learning. The book brings together contributions from academics and practitioners from around the world to discuss the intersection of IoT, industry and management.

Andy Pusca, Assoc. prof. is the rector of Danubius University, Galati Romania. After graduating from the Law Faculty within “Danubius” University in 1999, graduating from the Administrative Sciences at the Faculty of Public Administration within the National School of Political and Administrative Studies in Bucharest in the same year, he became a teacher. A. Pusca had worked as a lawyer, but returned to his first passion, being a teacher. He has worked with several higher education institutions, teaching at the most prestigious universities in Romania. A. Pusca’s extraordinary professional experience of living at the National Institute of Magistracy can’t be omitted, where he coordinated the activity of trainee magistrates, and then taught Civil Law at the Police Academy and the National School of Political and Public Administration Sciences, Bucharest. As his soul always belonged to Galati, here at “Danubius” University of Galati, A. Pusca in 2008 chose to dedicate his entire energy to implement his daring vision in a field with fierce competition – higher education institutions in Romania. He managed to achieve that through effective strategic measures, by finding alternatives to diversify the institutions’ offerings and change their approach. All of this was achieved with the help of dedicated staff, enthusiastic students and graduates of our university. As a rector, along with his team, he has approached the future of the modern “Danubius” University, valuing old traditions of higher education, as true strategic visionaries, demonstrating their new mentality of project management regardless of the field they operate in: education, research-development-innovation or services. Internationalization, entrepreneurship, open and online are the key terms that will support and direct their determined efforts to fulfil the objectives of the “Danubius” University mission, the institution that managed to connect the global community through quality, professionalism, enthusiasm and involvement of its people - students, teachers, non-teaching staff, graduates.”
