In the process of transforming modern manufacturing into intelligent manufacturing, more and more manufacturing processes are being deployed digitally on the Internet. As a novel digital industrial infrastructure and new application ecology, Industrial Internet could integrate the novel information and communication technology into various industrial manufacturing processes, through the safe and reliable intelligent interconnection of factors concerning people, machines and things. It aims at significantly improving the digitalization, networking and intelligence of manufacturing processes through the comprehensive interconnection of all manufacturing factors. To deploy and run traditional manufacturing processes on Industrial Internet efficiently, corresponding digital technical means are called for. These technical means play an important role in many potential applications of intelligent manufacturing, e.g. integrating product lifecycle data, strengthening industrial chain cooperation, providing decision-making service information oriented on the production organization process, and providing data support for product optimization and upgrading. This book focuses on the theory, techniques and means for integrating intelligent Industrial Internet applications deployed via mobile edge computing. Concretely, it mainly studies the intelligent theory, techniques and means from a problem-driven and demand-driven perspective, which supports collaborative design, agile manufacturing, remote operation and maintenance on Industrial Internet. These technologies primarily include Industrial Internet-centric intelligent resource scheduling methods, various types of industrial data privacy protection, intelligent version management technologies supporting digital twin applications, various data mining algorithms for intelligent execution of business processes, etc. Given its scope, the book offers a valuable theoretical and technical resource for project managers, technical developers, researchers, educators and students at colleges and universities.

Distributed systems intertwine with our everyday lives. The benefits and current shortcomings of the underpinning technologies are experienced by a wide range of people and their smart devices. With the rise of large-scale IoT and similar distributed systems, cloud bursting technologies, and partial outsourcing solutions, private entities are encouraged to increase their efficiency and offer unparalleled availability and reliability to their users. The Research Anthology on Architectures, Frameworks, and Integration Strategies for Distributed and Cloud Computing is a vital reference source that provides valuable insight into current and emergent research occurring within the field of distributed computing. It also presents architectures and service frameworks to achieve highly integrated distributed systems and solutions to integration and efficient management challenges faced by current and future distributed systems. Highlighting a range of topics such as data sharing, wireless sensor networks, and scalability, this multi-volume book is ideally designed for system administrators, integrators, designers, developers, researchers, academicians, and students.

"This book brings together advanced research on diverse topics in wireless communications and networking, including the latest developments in broadband technologies, mobile communications, wireless sensor networks, network security, and cognitive radio networks"--
