Anomaly Detection With Time Series Forecasting
Anomaly detection time series is a very large and complex field. In the past few years, many tech-niques based on data science were designed in order to improve the efficiency of methods developedfor this purpose. In this paper, we introduce Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs) with LSTM units, ARIMA and Facebook Prophet library for anomaly detection with time series forcasting. Becauseof the difficulty in obtaining labeled anomaly datasets, an unsupervised technique will be experimented. Unsupervised anomaly detection is the process of detecting abnormal points in a given dataset without prior label for training. An anomaly could become normal during the data evolu-tion, therefore it is important to maintain a dynamic system to monitor the abnormality. While LSTMs and ARIMA are powerful methods for time series forecasting the future, the Prophet package works best with time series that have strong seasonal effects and several seasons of historical data. The Prophet is very powerful with missing data and shifts in the trend, and specially handles anomalies well.

Fuzzy Modeling and Fuzzy Control Systems
In recent years, with the rapid development of advanced machine learning, artificial intelligence, robot technology, networked control methods, deep space exploration, and other fields, successful applications in fuzzy control systems or even nonlinear dynamics systems (FCS/NDSs) have emerged. The modeling, analysis, and optimal control of FCS/NDSs have received considerable attention in the last two decades. As usual, the design and analysis of classic dynamics systems rely on deterministic mathematical models. However, dynamical systems are riddled with nonlinearity, complexity and time-delay properties, which make it difficult to obtain system optimization. Certain linearization assumptions are often employed to obtain the optimal theoretical closed-form solution in FCS/NDSs, which are inconsistent with the real engineering applications. Therefore, these advanced nonlinear sciences motivate us to explore new solutions to the problems abundant in FCS/NDSs. For this Special Issue, 10 papers have been peer-reviewed and accepted for publication. These papers can be categorized into nonlinear intelligent control, and the readers can read a brief description of each paper in the preface.

Significance of Mathematical Modelling and Control in Real-World Problems
Mathematical modeling and system control are employed in many research problems, ranging from physical and chemical processes to biomathematics and life sciences. Their theoretical description is closely connected with various areas of pure and applied mathematics, including nonlinear modeling, integro-differential equations, nonlinear dynamics, pattern formation, non-Markovian processes, nonlinear and anomalous transport, time-delay equations, and so on. Thus, the further research and development of modeling in different research areas is still a hot research topic.

Technology and Education
The object of this study is the understanding of students in public schools in the Mamanguape Valley about the mediation of mobile devices - educational tablets - of new technologies in the teaching-learning process. The objectives were to: a) gather elements to characterize the students' view of new technologies in education, especially the use of the educational tablet tool in public schools; b) trace the use of mobile devices, educational tablets; c) analyze the relationship between the technologies allocated in schools to enable the use of educational tablets by students. Primary data was collected through questionnaires and interviews. All the information collected and systematized is incorporated into the database coordinated by GEPeeeS, where we record and analyse the presence of the Information Age and new technologies in education in the Mamanguape Valley. It is understood that the CCAE, through its courses, plays a fundamental role in the formation of cultural capital, involving new educational technologies through teaching, research and extension.
Advances in Distance Learning in Times of Pandemic
The book Advances in Distance Learning in Times of Pandemic is devoted to the issues and challenges faced by universities in the field of distance learning in COVID-19 times. It covers both the theoretical and practical aspects connected to distance education. It elaborates on issues regarding distance learning, its challenges, assessment by students and their expectations, the use of tools to improve distance learning, and the functioning of e-learning in the industry 4.0 and society 5.0 eras. The book also devotes a lot of space to the issues of Web 3.0 in university e-learning, quality assurance, and knowledge management. The aim and scope of this book is to draw a holistic picture of ongoing online teaching-activities before and during the lockdown period and present the meaning and future of e-learning from students' points of view, taking into consideration their attitudes and expectations as well as industry 4.0 and society 5.0 aspects. The book presents the approach to distance learning and how it has changed, especially during a pandemic that revolutionized education. It highlights - the function of online education and how that has changed before and during the pandemic. - how e-learning is beneficial in promoting digital citizenship. - distance learning characteristic in the era of industry 4.0 and society 5.0. - how the era of industry 4.0 treats distance learning as a desirable form of education. The book covers both scientific and educational aspects and can be useful for university-level undergraduate, postgraduate and research-grade courses and can be referred to by anyone interested in exploring the diverse aspects of distance learning.

Performance, Reliability, and Availability Evaluation of Computational Systems, Volume I
This textbook intends to be a comprehensive and substantially self-contained two-volume book covering performance, reliability, and availability evaluation subjects. The first volume covers Chapter 1 to Chapter 14, whose subtitle is ``Performance Modeling and Background".
Platform Engineering
Until recently, infrastructure was the backbone of organizations operating software they developed in-house. But now that cloud vendors run the computers, companies can finally bring the benefits of agile custom-centricity to their own developers. Adding product management to infrastructure organizations is now all the rage. But how's that possible when infrastructure is still the operational layer of the company? This practical book guides engineers, managers, product managers, and leaders through the shifts that modern platform-led organizations require. You'll learn what platform engineering is--and isn't--and what benefits and value it brings to developers and teams. You'll understand what it means to approach a platform as a product and learn some of the most common technical and managerial barriers to success. With this book, you'll: Cultivate a platform-as-product, developer-centric mindset Learn what platform engineering teams are and are not Start the process of adopting platform engineering within your organization Discover what it takes to become a product manager for a platform team Understand the challenges that emerge when you scale platforms Automate processes and self-service infrastructure to speed development and improve developer experience Build out, hire, manage, and advocate for a platform team
