This special issue delivers a platform in which researchers expose intersections between algorithm design, software platforms, and hardware architectures to deal with emerging challenges in the scientific field of management of water and water-dependent resources. Since the call for papers was announced in June 2019, this special issue has received 10 manuscripts. After a rigorous review process, 6 papers have been finally accepted for publication. Published papers deal with groundwater quality monitoring, coastal groundwater-dependent irrigation agriculture, desertification risk, water recovery from tailings, future scenarios of water resources, and vulnerability of coastal aquifers.

Based on a case study this research aims to answer if it is possible to, automatically, materialize fire safety standards in 3D forms using algorithmic-design software and also, to analyse means, methods and requirements for its creation. First, with a short literature review it was possible to approach the concepts of BIM and parametric design as well as its use throughout design process, this review was extended to fire safety standards seeking to understand how it defines architectural details in Brazilian state of Minas Gerais. Finally, a digital tool was developed using software Windows Excel and Rhinoceros/Grasshopper, and a set simulations were made to validate its use. The study showed it is possible to achieve results similar to the ones obtained by conventional methods; therefore, the use of legal constraints as parameters on an algorithm design software may bring more flexibility to design process as it can fasten the design choices validation.

Objective: This study intends to design software algorithms, which is called Co-Drug Interaction (CODI), that able to analyse drug interactions in prescription and recommendations for further correction by replacing active substances based on the E-book Drug Interaction Facts and provide drug information features. Methods: The research used data collection and conversed into programming languages. Java language programme choosed to build the entire application as its considerable free of charge and recognizable interface to use. The reference book is also used to help in prescribing and evaluating the reliability and efficiency of the software. Result: The evaluations were performed by analyzing 30 groups of medicine based on 2 diseases, which are hypertension and diabetes mellitus. Conclusion: The algorithm design and evaluation are in accordance with the planned output.

After at least a decade of parallel tool development, parallelization of scientific applications remains a significant undertaking. Typically parallelization is a specialized activity supported only partially by the programming tool set, with the programmer involved with parallel issues in addition to sequential ones. The details of concern range from algorithm design down to low-level data movement details. The aim of parallel programming tools is to automate the latter without sacrificing performance and portability, allowing the programmer to focus on algorithm specification and development. We present our use of two similar parallelization tools, Pfortran and Cray's Co-Array Fortran, in the parallelization of the GROMOS96 molecular dynamics module. Our parallelization started from the GROMOS96 distribution's shared-memory implementation of the replicated algorithm, but used little of that existing parallel structure. Consequently, our parallelization was close to starting with the sequential version. We found the intuitive extensions to Pfortran and Co-Array Fortran helpful in the rapid parallelization of the project. We present performance figures for both the Pfortran and Co-Array Fortran parallelizations showing linear speedup within the range expected by these parallelization methods.

Robotic Technologies

Robotics technologies have come to be widely developed for and applied to a variety of industrial areas, including the manufacturing, transportation, and public security fields. Broadly defined, the robotics technologies implemented in industry involve numerous flexible mechanisms, high-precision control, multi-sensor integration and fusion, high-performance computation, and intelligent software. The collection of articles featured in this special issue concerns several of the robotics technologies touched upon above, such as the mechanical design methodology and applications of manipulators in joint compliance research, the reliability design and implementation of robots utilized to feed glassmaking-materials in the glass industry, and the sensing techniques and navigation algorithm design in multi-floor structural environments, to mention just a few. These papers include too many subjects to all be mentioned here, and have presented exemplifications and applicable approaches to both conventional and cutting-edge industry. They have also greatly enhanced the research and development of robotic technologies. We would like to express our sincere appreciation to the authors, the reviewers, and the editors for their invaluable contributions in making this issue possible.
