Transactions on Engineering Technologies

This volume contains a selection of revised and extended research articles written by prominent researchers participating in The 26th World Congress on Engineering (WCE 2018) which was held in London, U.K., July 4-6, 2018.

Topics covered include engineering mathematics, electrical engineering, communications systems, computer science, chemical engineering, systems engineering, manufacturing engineering, and industrial applications. With contributions carefully chosen to represent the most cutting-edge research presented during the conference, the book contains some of the state-of-the-art in engineering technologies and the physical sciences and their applications, and serves as a useful reference for researchers and graduate students working in these fields.
