Industrial Internet Technology Application and Practice is compiled by the team of experts from Wenzhou Vocational Secondary School and fully meets the vocational talent training requirements of modern industries, laying a solid foundation for cultivating versatile and innovative technical talents in the era of Industry 4.0 and smart manufacturing.This book, as a practical companion textbook for vocational and technical training, is grounded in the laws of hands-on teaching and the characteristics of real-world industrial applications. Closely aligned with the talent training objectives of the Industrial Internet, it systematically integrates core content such as digital twin simulation, IoT networking, PLC programming, cloud platforms, and edge computing. It covers key projects including the Installation and Commissioning of Smart Logistics Systems, Smart Energy Consumption Systems, Smart Production Workshops, and Intelligent Warehousing Systems, helping students and practitioners build a complete and systematic knowledge framework of industrial Internet technologies and their practical applications.Author/Editor-in-Chief: Li Jiang, Wu Jie, Wang Bailiang
This publication proposes a definition and a classification of agile software development approaches and analyses ten software development methods that can be characterized as being "agile" against the defined criterion.

The study shows that agile practices improve both informal and formal communication, but indicates that, in larger development situations involving multiple external stakeholders, a mismatch of adequate communication mechanisms can sometimes even hinder the communication.

Biology doesn't operate in silos, and neither should the AI representation of it. Quine is an early-stage research effort to create a multimodal world model of biology. By connecting insights across biological scales and modalities, Quine helps scientists computationally search a space far larger than intuition allows and prioritize hypotheses before they reach the lab. Experimental results provide important feedback, helping researchers sharpen future research directions. The post Introducing Q…
