This paper provides a fundamental research review of Reconfigurable Manufacturing
Systems (RMS), which uniquely explores the state-of-the-art in distributed and decentralized …

Abstract Fifth-generation (5G) mobile communication technology is now widely available in
several countries, with millions of 5G customers. Therefore, it's time for academia and …

During the last few years, different kinds of autonomic and non-autonomic self-healing
materials have been prepared using diverse techniques for a number of applications. The …

High value and long life products require continuous maintenance throughout their life cycle
to achieve required performance with optimum through-life cost. This paper presents …

Beyond energy, the growing number of defects in physical substrates is becoming another
major constraint that affects the design of computing devices and systems. As the underlying …

Structural and functional thermosetting composite materials are exposed to different kinds of
stress which can damage the polymer matrix, thus impairing the intended properties …

Among many riddles posed by halide perovskites, the surprising apparent near-absence of
harmful defects stands out. This is commonly explained by invoking defect tolerance (DT) …

Concerns over reducing CO2 emissions associated with the burning of fossil fuels in
combination with an increase in worldwide energy demands is leading to increased …

Self-healing composites are composite materials capable of automatic recovery when
damaged. They are inspired by biological systems such as the human skin which are …

Autonomy has become a focal point for research and development in many industries.
Whilst this was traditionally achieved by modelling self-engineering behaviours at the …
