Abstract
The need for sustainable power production has led to the development of more innovative approaches to production and storage. In light of this hydrogen production through wind power has emerged as sufficient in ensuring that the objectives of the Paris Agreement are made. This paper discusses the state-of-art models and controls used in ensuring that greater efficiency is achieved in the processes of energy to hydrogen transformation. The paper concludes with a comparison of the models and determination of one which suffices in ensuring that hydrogen/energy transformation is more efficient.

Abstract
In this paper, a decision support application, for the air cargo planning and distribution, is proposed. The freight forwarding sector has been working to be assertive and efficient in responding to the market through an efficient approach to planning and allocation problems. The main goal is to minimize costs and improve performance. A real air cargo distribution problem for a freight forwarder was addressed. This project emerged from the need to efficiently plan and minimize costs for the distribution of thousands of m(3) (cubic meters) of air cargo, while considering the market restrictions, such as aircraft availability and transportation fees. Through the GRG algorithm adaptation to the real problem, it was possible to respond to the main goal of this paper. The development of an easy-to-use application ensures a quick response in the air distribution planning, focusing on cost reduction in transportation. With the application development it is possible to obtain real earnings with immediate effect.

Abstract
Digital Marketing sets a sequence of strategies responsible for maximizing the interaction between companies and their target audience. One of them, known as Customer Success, establishes long-term techniques capable of projecting the sustainable value of a given customer to a company, monitoring the indexers that translate its activities. Therefore, this paper intends to address the need to develop an innovative tool that allows the creation of a temporal knowledge base composed of the behavioral evolution of customers. The CRISP-DM model benefits the processing and modeling of data capable of generating knowledge through the application and combination of the results obtained by machine learning algorithms specialized in time series. Time Series K-Means allows the clustering and differentiation of consumers characterized by their similar habits. Through the formulation of profiles, it is possible to apply forecasting methods that predict the following trends. The proposed solution provides the understanding of time series that profile the flow of customer activity and the use of the evidenced dynamics for the future prediction of these behaviors. © MIR Labs, www.mirlabs.net/ijcisim/index.html
