Machine Learning Approach for Cloud Data Analytics in IoT The book covers the multidimensional perspective of machine learning through the perspective of cloud computing and Internet of Things ranging from fundamentals to advanced applications Sustainable computing paradigms like cloud and fog are capable of handling issues related to performance, storage and processing, maintenance, security, efficiency, integration, cost, energy and latency in an expeditious manner. In order to expedite decision-making involved in the complex computation and processing of collected data, IoT devices are connected to the cloud or fog environment. Since machine learning as a service provides the best support in business intelligence, organizations have been making significant investments in this technology. Machine Learning Approach for Cloud Data Analytics in IoT elucidates some of the best practices and their respective outcomes in cloud and fog computing environments. It focuses on all the various research issues related to big data storage and analysis, large-scale data processing, knowledge discovery and knowledge management, computational intelligence, data security and privacy, data representation and visualization, and data analytics. The featured technologies presented in the book optimizes various industry processes using business intelligence in engineering and technology. Light is also shed on cloud-based embedded software development practices to integrate complex machines so as to increase productivity and reduce operational costs. The various practices of data science and analytics which are used in all sectors to understand big data and analyze massive data patterns are also detailed in the book.

NANODEVICES FOR INTEGRATED CIRCUIT DESIGN Nanodevices are an integral part of many of the technologies that we use every day. It is a constantly changing and evolving area, with new materials, processes, and applications coming online almost daily. Increasing demand for smart and intelligent devices in human life with better sensing, communication and signal processing is increasingly pushing researchers and designers towards future design challenges based upon internet-of-things (IoT) applications. Several types of research have been done at the level of solid-state devices, circuits, and materials to optimize system performance with low power consumption. For suitable IoT-based systems, there are some key areas, such as the design of energy storage devices, energy harvesters, novel low power high-speed devices, and circuits. Uses of new materials for different purposes, such as semiconductors, metals, and insulators in different parts of devices, circuits, and energy sources, also play a significant role in smart applications of such systems. Emerging techniques like machine learning and artificial intelligence are also becoming a part of the latest developments in an electronic device and circuit design. This groundbreaking new book will, among other things, aid developing countries in updating their semiconductor industries in terms of IC design and manufacturing to avoid dependency on other countries. Likewise, as an introduction to the area for the new-hire or student, and as a reference for the veteran engineer in the field, it will be helpful for more developed countries in their pursuit of better IC design. It is a must have for any engineer, scientist, or other industry professional working in this area.
