At the forefront of cutting-edge technologies, this text provides a comprehensive treatment of a crucial network performance metric, ushering in new opportunities for rethinking the whole design of communication systems. Detailed exposition of the communication and network theoretic foundations of Age of Information (AoI) gives the reader a solid background, and discussion of the implications on signal processing and control theory shed light on the important potential of recent research. The text includes extensive real-world applications of this vital metric, including caching, the Internet of Things (IoT), and energy harvesting networks. The far-reaching applications of AoI include networked monitoring systems, cyber-physical systems such as the IoT, and information-oriented systems and data analytics applications ranging from the stock market to social networks. The future of this exciting subject in 5G communication systems and beyond make this a vital resource for graduate students, researchers and professionals.

Modern, current, and future communications/processing aspects motivate basic information-theoretic research for a wide variety of systems for which we do not have the ultimate theoretical solutions (for example, a variety of problems in network information theory as the broadcast/interference and relay channels, which mostly remain unsolved in terms of determining capacity regions and the like). Technologies such as 5/6G cellular communications, Internet of Things (IoT), and mobile edge networks, among others, not only require reliable rates of information measured by the relevant capacity and capacity regions, but are also subject to issues such as latency vs. reliability, availability of system state information, priority of information, secrecy demands, energy consumption per mobile equipment, sharing of communications resources (time/frequency/space), etc. This book, composed of a collection of papers that have appeared in the Special Issue of the Entropy journal dedicated to “Information Theory for Data Communications and Processing”, reflects, in its eleven chapters, novel contributions based on the firm basic grounds of information theory. The book chapters address timely theoretical and practical aspects that constitute both interesting and relevant theoretical contributions, as well as direct implications for modern current and future communications systems.

This volume includes the main contributions by the plenary speakers from the ISAAC congress held in Aveiro, Portugal, in 2019. It is the purpose of ISAAC to promote analysis, its applications, and its interaction with computation. Analysis is understood here in the broad sense of the word, including differential equations, integral equations, functional analysis, and function theory. With this objective, ISAAC organizes international Congresses for the presentation and discussion of research on analysis. The plenary lectures in the present volume, authored by eminent specialists, are devoted to some exciting recent developments in topics such as science data, interpolating and sampling theory, inverse problems, and harmonic analysis.

This handbook presents state-of-the-art research in reinforcement learning, focusing on its applications in the control and game theory of dynamic systems and future directions for related research and technology. The contributions gathered in this book deal with challenges faced when using learning and adaptation methods to solve academic and industrial problems, such as optimization in dynamic environments with single and multiple agents, convergence and performance analysis, and online implementation. They explore means by which these difficulties can be solved, and cover a wide range of related topics including: deep learning; artificial intelligence; applications of game theory; mixed modality learning; and multi-agent reinforcement learning. Practicing engineers and scholars in the field of machine learning, game theory, and autonomous control will find the Handbook of Reinforcement Learning and Control to be thought-provoking, instructive and informative.
