Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).In this special volume, are to be found many original ideas and new insights among the authoritative papers on various aspects of engineering materials, energy, management and control, based upon information technology. It will make an excellent starting-point from which researchers can reassess their ideas using new perspectives.The conference was technically international, but only a handful of contributors are from outside China. Nearly 200 papers are arranged in sections on information technology and energy engineering; engineering materials and energy based on information; and materials, management, and control based on information engineering. Among the topics are building a risk-aware adaptive trust negotiation framework, generating descriptive text for image search results, carbon emissions embodied in the international trade of China, producing ethanol from corn stover using soaking pretreatment, a smallest cache utility algorithm based on popularity, materials for solar thermal collectors, an optimal rescheduling mechanism of modern enterprise manufacturing resources, electronic commerce security based on a security engineering life cycle, and designing and implementing a dynamic query component based on neural networks. The two volumes are paged and indexed together.
