Abstract
This last issue of our seventh volumeof the Journal ofReliable Intelligent Environments brings six articles in a diversity of research communication formats as well as on the technical areas they cover. Their difference reflects the complexity of modern systems, the number of possible devices, the variety of possible ways to connect them, of users to engage with these and the possible opportunities for them to fail in matching users expectations of service delivery. This is one of the main reasons for the creation of this journal where our community look at a scientific discussion on how to make modern systems more aligned with society expectations. Bouarfa et al.’s Formal modelling and verification of a multi-agent negotiation approach for airline operations control presents a rule-based multi-agent system model of an Airline Operations Control system which is shown to outperform in some strategies involved in the negotiations from task experts when dealing with airline disruption scenarios management.Given the long-established and growing importance of flights as transportation and the danger to human life when there are faults anywhere in the industry systems, this article is of outstanding importance. Onesimu et al.’s Internet of things based intelligent accident avoidance system for adverseweather and road conditions provides another great example on systems applied to help with human safety in transportation. This research looks at road safety to increase traffic whilst decreasing accidents. With the continuous growing of population and associated increase in transport contributions in this area continue to be of high priority.
