IFIPwasfoundedin1960undertheauspicesofUNESCO,followingtheFirst
WorldComputerCongressheldinParisthepreviousyear.Anumbrellaorgani-
zation for societies working in information processing, IFIP’s aim is two-fold:
tosupportinformationprocessingwithinitsmembercountriesandtoencourage

IFIP’s mission is to be the leading, truly international, apolitical
organizationwhichencouragesandassistsinthedevelopment,ex-

Preface
This proceeding book, which collects relevant research results produced in
engineeringdoctoralprograms,focusesonsocio-technicalsystemscapableofex-
tensive sensing and multi-source, multi-modal information processing; harness-
ing collective intelligence for promoting innovation; and taking good, informed,
and sustainability-oriented decisions: collective awareness systems. These sys-
temsleveragetheubiquitouscomputingand”networkeffect”bycombiningopen
social media, distributed knowledge creation,and data acquisitionfromreal en-
vironments (”Internet of Things”), thus linking objects, people, and knowledge
in order to foster new forms of social and business innovation.
AlthoughtypicalPhDstudentsarenotexperiencedresearchers,butratherin
theprocessoflearninghowtodoresearch,observationofworldwidepublications

earlycareersofresearchers.The DoCEISseriesofdoctoralconferencesonCom-
puting, Electrical and Industrial Systems aims at creating a space for sharing
anddiscussingideasandresultsfromdoctoralresearchinthese inter-relatedar-
easofengineering.Innovativeideasandhypothesiscanbebetterenhancedwhen
presentedanddiscussedinanencouragingandopenenvironment.DoCEISaims
to provide such an environment, releasing PhD students from the pressure of
presenting their propositions in more formal contexts.
ThefiftheditionofDoCEIS,whichwassponsoredbySOCOLNETandIFIP,
attracted a considerable number of paper submissions from a large number of
PhD students (and their supervisors) from 22 countries. This book comprises
the worksselected by the InternationalProgramCommittee for inclusionin the
main programand coversa wide spectrum of topics, ranging from collaborative
networks to microelectronics. As such, research results and on-going work are
presented, illustrated, and discussed in areas such as:
– Collaborative Networks
– Computational Systems and Human-Computer Interfaces
– Self-organizing Manufacturing Systems
– Manufacturing and Supervision
– Robotics and Mechatronics
– Embedded Systems and Petri Nets
– Energy Systems and Smart Grid
– Monitoring and Optimization in Energy
– Electronics and Telecommunications
Focusing on the main theme of the conference, and as a gluing element, all
authors were asked to explicitly indicate the (potential) contribution of their
worktothe collectiveawarenesssystems.Theideawasnotto“deviatestudents’
attention” from their core research. The core of each paper was aimed to be

defined around the PhD research topic and the innovative contributions that
such research brings to each specific area. Nevertheless, it was also anticipated,
andconfirmedbythesubmissions,thatvirtuallyanyresearchtopicinthisbroad
engineeringareacouldeitherbenefitfromacollectiveawarenesssystemsperspec-
tive,orbeingadirectcontributorwithmodels,approaches,andtechnologiesfor
further development of such systems.
On the other hand, researchers are increasingly requested to be able to“po-
sition”their researchin a wider scope and establish links with other disciplines.
More and more funding agencies are requiring research proposals to include an
element of multi-disciplinarity. Therefore, this“exercise”requested by DoCEIS
can be seen as part of the process of acquiring such skills, which are mandatory
in the profession of a PhD.
Weexpectthatthisbookwillprovidereaderswithaninspiringsetofpromis-
ingideasandnewchallenges,presentedinamulti-disciplinarycontext,andthat
by their diversity these results will trigger and motivate richer research and
development directions.
We would like to thank all the authors for their contributions. We also ap-
preciatetheeffortsanddedicationoftheDoCEISProgramCommitteemembers
who both helped with the selection of articles and contributed with valuable
comments to improve their quality.
