Conference Proceedings is a culmination of research results, papers and the theory related to all the three major areas of computing mentioned above. Helps budding researchers, graduates in the areas of Computer Science, Information Science, Electronics, Telecommunication, Instrumentation, Networking to take forward their research work based on the reviewed results in the paper by mutual interaction through e-mail contacts in the proceedings.

Today, communication technology and computer engineering are intertwined, with advances in one field driving advances in the other, leading to the development of outstanding technologies. This book delves into the latest trends and breakthroughs in the areas of communication, Internet of things, cloud computing, big data, artificial intelligence, and machine learning. This book discusses challenges and opportunities that arise with the integration of communication technology and computer engineering. In addition, the book examines the ethical and social implications, including issues related to privacy, security, and digital divide and law. We have explored the future direction of these fields and the potential for further breakthroughs and innovations. The book is intended for a broad audience of undergraduate and graduate students, practicing engineers, and readers without a technical background who have an interest in learning about communication technology and computer engineering.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 7th China Conference of Wireless Sensor Networks, held in Qingdao, China, in October 2013. The 35 revised full papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 191 submissions. The papers cover a wide range of topics in the wireless sensor network fields like node systems, infrastructures, communication protocols, data management.

Thanks to rapid technological developments in terms of Computational Intelligence, smart tools have been playing active roles in daily life. It is clear that the 21st century has brought about many advantages in using high-level computation and communication solutions to deal with real-world problems; however, more technologies bring more changes to society. In this sense, the concept of smart cities has been a widely discussed topic in terms of society and Artificial Intelligence-oriented research efforts. The rise of smart cities is a transformation of both community and technology use habits, and there are many different research orientations to shape a better future. The objective of this book is to focus on Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) in smart city development. As recently designed, advanced smart systems require intense use of complex computational solutions (i.e., Deep Learning, Big Data, IoT architectures), the mechanisms of these systems become ‘black-box’ to users. As this means that there is no clear clue about what is going on within these systems, anxieties regarding ensuring trustworthy tools also rise. In recent years, attempts have been made to solve this issue with the additional use of XAI methods to improve transparency levels. This book provides a timely, global reference source about cutting-edge research efforts to ensure the XAI factor in smart city-oriented developments. The book includes both positive and negative outcomes, as well as future insights and the societal and technical aspects of XAI-based smart city research efforts. This book contains nineteen contributions beginning with a presentation of the background of XAI techniques and sustainable smart-city applications. It then continues with chapters discussing XAI for Smart Healthcare, Smart Education, Smart Transportation, Smart Environment, Smart Urbanization and Governance, and Cyber Security for Smart Cities.
