Perspective for a Special Issue ofPolymer ReviewsOn: Ionic liquids and their Derivatives in Polymer Science and Engineering

This introduction sets the background to this special issue containing papers collected from the 35th Australasian Polymer Symposium (35APS) which was held on the Gold Coast, Queensland, from 12 to 15 July 2015. These works illustrate both the multidisciplinary nature and the breadth and depth of contemporary polymer science and engineering that was discussed at this meeting.

Past Half

Japan and the United States, the world’s largest economies for most of the past half century, have very different immigration policies. Japan is the G7 economy most closed to immigrants, while the United States is the large economy most open to immigrants. Both Japan and the United States are debating how immigrants are and can con-tribute to the competitiveness of their economies in the 21st centuries. The papers in this special issue review the employment of and impacts of immigrants in some of the key sectors of the Japanese and US economies, including agriculture, health care, science and engineering, and construction and manufacturing. For example, in Japanese agriculture migrant trainees are a fixed cost to farmers during the three years they are in Japan, while US farmers who hire mostly unauthorized migrants hire and lay off workers as needed, making labour a variable cost.

Robot Interaction

Artificial intelligence (AI) is an interdisciplinary subject in science and engineering that makes it possible for machines to learn from data. Artificial Intelligence applications include prediction, recommendation, classification and recognition, object detection, natural language processing, autonomous systems, among others. The topics of the articles in this special issue include deep learning applied to medicine [1, 3], support vector machine applied to ecosystems [2], human-robot interaction [4], clustering in the identification of anomalous patterns in communication networks [5], expert systems for the simulation of natural disaster scenarios [6], real-time algorithms of artificial intelligence [7] and big data analytics for natural disasters [8].
