This chapter presents a method for ontology construction and its application in developing ontology in the domain of natural gas pipeline operations. Both the method as well as the application ontology developed, contribute to the infrastructure of Semantic Web that provides semantic foundation for supporting information processing by autonomous software agents. This chapter presents the processes of knowledge acquisition and ontology construction for developing a knowledge-based decision support system for monitoring and control of natural gas pipeline operations. Knowledge on the problem domain was acquired and analyzed using the Inferential Modeling Technique, then the analyzed knowledge was organized into an application ontology and represented in the Knowledge Modeling System. Since ontology is an explicit specification of a conceptualization that provides a comprehensive foundation specification of knowledge in a domain, it provides semantic clarifications for autonomous software agents that process information on the Internet.

Disturbances of the anaerobic digestion process reduce the economic and environmental performance of biogas systems. A better understanding of the highly complex process is of crucial importance in order to avoid disturbances. This review defines process disturbances as significant changes in the functionality within the microbial community leading to unacceptable and severe decreases in biogas production and requiring an active counteraction to be overcome. The main types of process disturbances in agricultural biogas production are classified as unfavorable process temperatures, fluctuations in the availability of macro- and micronutrients (feedstock variability), overload of the microbial degradation potential, process-related accumulation of inhibiting metabolites such as hydrogen (H2), ammonium/ammonia (NH4+/NH3) or hydrogen sulphide (H2S) and inhibition by other organic and inorganic toxicants. Causes, mechanisms and effects on the biogas microbiome are discussed. The need for a knowledge-based microbiome management to ensure a stable and efficient production of biogas with low susceptibility to disturbances is derived and an outlook on potential future process monitoring and control by means of microbial indicators is provided.

In the last few decades, the number of active vehicle population has increased drastically which has made it difficult for the authorities to keep a track of them as well as to identify the vehicle owner in case of any traffic violation. Automatic Number Plate Recognition System (ANPR) is a real-time machine-intelligent and embedded system which identifies the characters directly from the image of the number plate. Due to crucial research and development of technology and the increasing use of vehicles, the need for a machine-oriented recognition and monitoring system is of immense importance. The technology has become a major requirement and is playing a crucial role in a vast sea of applications related to automated transport monitoring and control system such as traffic monitoring, challan management, detection of stolen vehicles, electronic payment of tolls on highways or bridges, parking lots access control, etc. This technology requires extensive mobility and station flexibility which causes it to be installed on such hardware that is very mobile enough so that the operator can use it very efficiently. ANPR System through the use of Optical Character Recognition (OCR) makes the system to be used as an application on smartphones. This provides the operator to use the system and identify number plates by just capturing the image and processing by neural networks working in the background of OCR. The ANPR system as a whole will result in easy and safe monitoring of the traffic and to keep an easy record in case of any violation. Also, it will save individuals to save their time in standing at long queues at toll taxes and paying cash which will be done with the ANPR system and using E-wallet.

The article presents the architecture and implementation of a street traffic monitoring system. It uses RFID identifiers to recognize vehicles, including special meaning, such as ambulances, city buses, vehicles with reduced exhaust gas emissions. Traffic data is sent to the IoT Hub service in the Azure cloud. On their basis, road situations are analyzed and decisions are made regarding traffic control. Control information is fed back to traffic control devices by means of street lights, barriers, information boards. The article describes the method of communication with the computing cloud and the possibilities of implementing traffic monitoring and control algorithms using IoT Hub.
