Sustainable Technologies for Fashion and Textiles combines the latest academic research and industrial practices to shed light on a wide range of activities that influence how the textiles industry affects the natural environment. Pressure from regulators, customers and other stakeholders has pressed companies to translate general sustainability concepts and ideas into business practices. This is leading to improvements in how the industry consumes water, electricity and chemicals, and to a reduction in the amount of waste generated by textile processes. This book groups approaches to these topics under four themes, fiber, yarn and fabric production, chemical processing, garment manufacturing and recycling.

Building Resilient Systems

Building Resilient Systems: Architecture, Modeling and Metrics brings together key concepts and methods to meet the crucial challenges of energy-efficient system resilience. Computer system design is undergoing a paradigm shift in the wake of several disruptive trends, including the increased difficulty in CMOS device technology scaling, the obstacles relating to power and reliability walls, and the evolution of computing paradigms in the era of Internet-of-things (IOT). This book presents a modern perspective on how to build resilient computer systems, emphasizing reliability without incurring unaffordable levels of overhead, such as processor chip area, net system power, or performance degradation. Readers will find new generation modeling methods, cross-layer optimization and trade-off analysis techniques, along with the cross-layer error tolerant system architectures needed for the future.
