We discuss an innovative decision-making frame-work for accelerated degradation tests and predictive maintenance, when information about the state of the system, represented by prior knowledge and experimental data, is encapsulated in a degradation model. We consider dynamic programming and reinforcement learning as the framework for sequential decision making in these areas, also including the degradation model learning when necessary. The application of these methods to the design of life testing experiments and to the maintenance of lithium-ion batteries is proposed.

The study of the relationship between the structure and properties of cement mortars that make up concrete is complicated by the complex geometric structure of structural elements. The fractal approach was used to assess adequately the fracture surface of cement mortar with a plasticizer. The fractal dimension of the identified elements of mortar macrostructure is calculated: dark areas with cement stone predominance, light areas with sand predominance and pores. Linear models of strength prediction based on the influence of dark areas of the structure (the pair correlation coefficient is 0.77), light areas $(R^{2}=0.76)$ and pores $(R^{2}=0.72)$ are obtained, which indicates the sensitivity of physical and mechanical properties to changes in the fractal dimension of structural elements. An increase in the strength indicators of the mortar was recorded from 8 to 27 MPa with an increase in the fractal dimension of cement stone from 1.787 to 1.959 (by 8.9 %). Strength indicators decrease with an increase in the fractal dimension of light sections of the structure from 1.534 to 1.891 (by 19.9 %) and the fractal dimension of pores from 1.632 to 1.807 (by 9.7 %). A multiparametric fractal model of the influence of fractal dimensions of the identified structural components is constructed, which has a relatively high correlation coefficient of 0.89. The proposed approach can be used in industrial conditions as an additional method for operational forecasting of flexural strength indicators of cement mortar based on the fractal dimension of its macrostructure elements.

Hospital emergency departments (EDs) are crucial medical facilities providing emergency healthcare. Understanding and measuring the patient flow in EDs plays a key role in maximizing the utility of scarce hospital resources. Existing approaches either require manual reporting by staff or collect sensitive data about patients via camera or hospital registration system, causing potential privacy breaches. Against this background, we propose a data-driven modeling strategy of ED crowdedness leveraging multi-source urban crowdsensing data, which automatically provides fine-grained and timely information about the crowdedness of EDs. Specifically, our model can not only accurately extract the emergency visit demand from noisy human mobility data with minimum expert knowledge using active learning and co-training techniques, but also estimate ED crowdedness by modeling the emergency service process by integrating three queueing models for general practice, internal medicine, and surgical clinics, respectively. We evaluate our method leveraging large-scale taxi and hire vehicle trajectory datasets and hospital information system datasets from the government open data portal. Results show that our approach effectively extracts the emergency visit demand and models the emergency service process to assess the crowdedness of EDs. We have deployed the system in Xiamen City by collaborating with the municipal government to provide services for citizens and health providers.
