This paper is the preface to a special Issue of Phil. Trans. R. Soc. A reporting selected proceedings of the international conference marking the 150th anniversary of James Clerk Maxwell's professorial debut at Marischal College, Aberdeen. Following an introduction to Marischal College, a brief historical note summarizes Maxwell's life prior to his entering the college as professor of natural philosophy. The preface provides a short summary of the event and overviews the contributed papers devoted to subjects covering a wide range of Maxwell's research interests and their modern developments. The mixture of review and research papers reflects both the fundamental importance and the diverse applicability of Maxwell's works in electromagnetics, colour science, dynamics and kinetics. Acknowledgements are given to the individuals and bodies who made the conference the success that it was.

The 14th ACM SIGPLAN International Conference on Functional Programming (ICFP) took place on August 31–September 2, 2009 in Edinburgh, Scotland; Andrew Tolmach chaired the program committee. Following the conference, the authors of selected papers were invited to submit extended versions for this special issue of JFP. After review and revision, four papers were accepted for inclusion in this volume. Each paper contains substantial new material beyond the original conference version. The papers are representative of the wide range of topics and methodology that characterize ICFP.

AbstractThe International Association for Intelligent Biology and Medicine (IAIBM) is a nonprofit organization that promotes intelligent biology and medical science. It hosts an annual International Conference on Intelligent Biology and Medicine (ICIBM), which was initially established in 2012. Due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, the ICIBM 2020 was held for the first time as a virtual online conference on August 9 to 10. The virtual conference had ~ 300 registered participants and featured 41 online real-time presentations. ICIBM 2020 received a total of 75 manuscript submissions, and 12 were selected to be published in this special issue of BMC Bioinformatics. These 12 manuscripts cover a wide range of bioinformatics topics including network analysis, imaging analysis, machine learning, gene expression analysis, and sequence analysis.

D B Solovev 1,2 1 Far Eastern Federal University, Vladivostok, Russia 2 Vladivostok Branch of Russian Customs Academy, Vladivostok, Russia E-mail: [email protected] The special issue Journal of Physics: Conference Series is entitled ‘International Conference on Automatics and Energy (ICAE 2021)’. Smart technologies and modern innovations in design for control and automation systems of technological processes and objects: prospects and international experience. International Conference on Automatics and Energy (ICAE 2021) is devoted to the discussion of modern achievements and promising research in the sphere of intelligent technologies in solving real, applied problems in various fields of industry and energy policies of different countries. The special issue Journal of Physics: Conference Series (International Conference on Automatics and Energy (ICAE 2021)) is published to support interdisciplinary discussion and publication of research results that generalise research in technical branches of knowledge in higher education institutions, research institutes, large industrial enterprises, research and production associations of the Russian Federation, as well as authors from other countries, and the results of research carried out on the personal initiative of the authors. The main thematic sections of the International Conference on Automatics and Energy (ICAE 2021) include: control systems and technologies for various energy facilities, industrial mechatronic systems and robotics, electric power systems and renewable energy sources, power electronics, electrical machines and electric drives, microprocessor control systems and signal processing, modelling and computer technologies, theory and practice of dynamic measurements, organisational and management solutions for energy and resource conservation. International Conference on Automatics and Energy (ICAE 2021) may be of interest to a wide range of specialists in the field of designing innovative solutions and organisational measures that increase the efficiency of the use of energy technologies in their various manifestations. The issue is also of interest to scientific and engineering personnel engaged in the development, design and calibration of automation devices and control systems for technical electrified systems and facilities, as well as information and measuring instruments for obtaining, measuring and researching information about currents in electrical complexes and systems; and for students and undergraduates studying ‘electrical power engineering and electrical engineering’, ‘automated systems’, ‘control systems in energy technologies’ and postgraduate students in the corresponding branches of study. The Organizing committee conference (ICAE 2021) would like to thank all authors for sharing their research results, insights and conclusions on prospects and challenges modern innovations in design for control and automation systems. List of Organizing Committee are available in this pdf.
