The DeGruyter series on the Science of Measurement (DGSM) intends to provide a comprehensible overview of the essential connection between the real world and modern information processing and its utilization. Without efficient and reliable measurements, we would lack knowledge about all aspects of our world, including the lives of human being.
The series aims to present in a clear and understandable way especially current advances such as the revised system of units and the metrological infrastructure, the transformation of measurement results into useful information, the virtual representation and cognitive abilities of measurement processes, the mastery of dynamic behavior of measurement processes as well as quantitative assessments going beyond the classical SI-based measurements. In addition, there is an overview of the mathematical and probabilistic foundations necessary to describe the fields of metrology and measurement technology.

"Intelligence" is an omnipresent phenomenon in the biosphere. In the technosphere, artificially intelligent signal processing and sensor data fusion provide cognitive sensors that enhance the perceptive mind of humans who alone perceive consciously. This book thus opens up AI-enabled sensing, which comprises not only machine or deep learning, but exploits a whole world of algorithms for comprehensively sensing in real applications.
The book focuses on the extension of quality-assured measurement and metrology into psychological and social domains. This is not only feasible and achievable, but also a pressing concern. Significant progress in developing a common conceptual system for measurement across the sciences has been made in recent collaborations between metrologists and psychometricians, as reported in the chapters of this book. Modeling, estimation, and interpretation of objectively reproducible unit quantities that support both general comparability and adaptation to unique local circumstances are demonstrated in fields as diverse as artificial intelligence, justice, and beauty perception.
Metrology is part of the essential but largely hidden infrastructure of the modern world. This book concentrates on the infrastructure aspects of metrology. It introduces the underlying concepts: International system of units, traceability and uncertainty; and describes the concepts that are implemented to assure the comparability, reliability and quantifiable trust of measurement results. It is shown what benefits the traditional metrological principles have in fields as medicine or in the evaluation of cyber physical systems.
