This book constitutes the proceedings of the 14th European Conference on Modelling Foundations and Applications, ECMFA 2018, held as part of STAF 2018, in Toulouse, France, in June 2018. The 19 papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 45 submissions. The cover topics such as (bidirectional and unidirectional) model transformations, model management, re-engineering, modelling environments, verification and validation, and domain-specific modelling w.r.t. business processes, automotive software, and safety-critical software.

Based on The International Metrology Congress meeting, this reference examines the evolution of metrology, and its applications in industry, environment and safety, health and medicine, economy and quality, and new information and communication technologies; details the improvement of measurement procedures to guarantee the quality of products and processes; and discusses the development of metrology linked to innovating technologies. The themes of the Congress (quality and reliability of measurement, measurement uncertainties, calibration, verification, accreditation, sensory metrology, regulations and legal metrology) are developed either in a general way or applied to a specific economic sector or to a specific scientific field.

This book provide a comprehensive set of modeling methods for data and uncertainty analysis, taking readers beyond mainstream methods and focusing on techniques with a broad range of real-world applications. The book will be useful as a textbook for graduate students, or as a training manual in the fields of calibration and testing. The work may also serve as a reference for metrologists, mathematicians, statisticians, software engineers, chemists, and other practitioners with a general interest in measurement science.

This volume constitutes the refereed proceedings of the workshops held at the 32nd International Conference on Database and Expert Systems Applications, DEXA 2021, held in a virtual format in September 2021: The 12th International Workshop on Biological Knowledge Discovery from Data (BIOKDD 2021), the 5th International Workshop on Cyber-Security and Functional Safety in Cyber-Physical Systems (IWCFS 2021), the 3rd International Workshop on Machine Learning and Knowledge Graphs (MLKgraphs 2021), the 1st International Workshop on Artificial Intelligence for Clean, Affordable and Reliable Energy Supply (AI-CARES 2021), the 1st International Workshop on Time Ordered Data (ProTime2021), and the 1st International Workshop on AI System Engineering: Math, Modelling and Software (AISys2021). Due to the COVID-19 pandemic the conference and workshops were held virtually. The 23 papers were thoroughly reviewed and selected from 50 submissions, and discuss a range of topics including: knowledge discovery, biological data, cyber security, cyber-physical system, machine learning, knowledge graphs, information retriever, data base, and artificial intelligence.

Since John Bosch edited and published the first version of this book in 1995, the world of manufacturing and coordinate measuring machines (CMMs) and coordinate measuring systems (CMSs) has changed considerably. However, the basic physics of the machines has not changed in essence but have become more deeply understood. Completely revised and updat
