Author Description

<p>This book summarizes the advanced intelligent pipeline management technologies. The text discusses the main challenges of how to define and reinvent data-driven intelligent pipeline systems by studying scheduling-operation- safety management systems. Additionally, within an all-around intelligent pipeline system technology development framework, this book characterizes the scientific problems of intelligent pipeline system services among different processes, such as scheduling, demand-side management, operation condition monitoring, safety analysis, fault detection, etc. This book also introduces the existing positive and successful intelligent pipeline system projects that can be identified in the studied domain, and how can they be best applied for practical success. The text is supported by informative illustrations and case studies so that practitioners can use the book as a toolbox to improve understanding in applying the novel technologies into intelligent pipeline systemmanagement and development.</p><p></p>
