It includes papers on data models, semantics, query language; AI-driven industrial automation, ERP, CRM data security; authentication and access control; cyberspace structure and models; and drone large data filtration, cleansing, and security, among others. This book is of immense interest to researchers in academia and industry working in the fields of electronics and data engineering.

The advent of Internet of Things offers a scalable and seamless connection of physical objects, including human beings and devices. This, along with artificial intelligence, has moved transportation towards becoming intelligent transportation. This book is a collection of eleven articles that have served as examples of the success of internet of things and artificial intelligence deployment in transportation research. Topics include collision avoidance for surface ships, indoor localization, vehicle authentication, traffic signal control, path-planning of unmanned ships, driver drowsiness and stress detection, vehicle density estimation, maritime vessel flow forecast, and vehicle license plate recognition. High-performance computing services have become more affordable in recent years, which triggered the adoption of deep-learning-based approaches to increase the performance standards of artificial intelligence models. Nevertheless, it has been pointed out by various researchers that traditional shallow-learning-based approaches usually have an advantage in applications with small datasets. The book can provide information to government officials, researchers, and practitioners. In each article, the authors have summarized the limitations of existing works and offered valuable information on future research directions.

Medical data exists in several formats, from structured data and medical reports to 1D signals, 2D images, 3D volumes, or even higher dimensional data such as temporal 3D sequences. Healthcare experts can make auscultation reports in text format; electrocardiograms can be printed in time series format, x-rays saved as images; volume can be provided through angiography; temporal information by echocardiograms, and 4D information extracted through flow MRI. Another typical source of variability is the existence of data from different time points, such as pre and post treatment, for instance. These large and highly diverse amounts of information need to be organized and mined in an appropriate way so that meaningful information can be extracted. New multimodal data fusion techniques are able to combine salient information into one single source to ensure better diagnostic accuracy and assessment. Data Fusion Techniques and Applications for Smart Healthcare covers cutting-edge research from both academia and industry with a particular emphasis on recent advances in algorithms and applications that involve combining multiple sources of medical information. This book can be used as a reference for practicing engineers, scientists, and researchers. It will also be useful for graduate students and practitioners from government and industry as well as healthcare technology professionals working on state-of-the-art information fusion solutions for healthcare applications. - Presents broad coverage of applied case studies using data fusion techniques to mine, organize, and interpret medical data - Investigates how data fusion techniques offer a new solution for dealing with massive amounts of medical data coming from diverse sources and multiple formats - Focuses on identifying challenges, solutions, and new directions that will be useful for graduate students, researchers, and practitioners from government, academia, industry, and healthcare

Artificial Intelligence and Multimodal Signal Processing in Human-Machine Interaction presents an overview of an emerging field that is concerned with exploiting multiple modalities of communication in both Artificial Intelligence and Human-Machine Interaction. The book not only provides cross disciplinary research in the fields of multimodal signal acquisition and sensing, analysis, IoTs (Internet of Things), Artificial Intelligence, and system architectures, it also evaluates the role of Artificial Intelligence I in relation to the realization of contemporary Human Machine Interaction (HMI) systems.Readers are introduced to the multimodal signals and their role in the identification of the intended subjects, mental state and the realization of HMI systems are explored, and the applications of signal processing and machine/ensemble/deep learning for HMIs are assessed. A description of proposed methodologies is provided, and related works are also presented. This is a valuable resource for researchers, health professionals, postgraduate students, post doc researchers and faculty members in the fields of HMIs, Brain-Computer Interface (BCI), Prosthesis, Computer vision, and Mental state estimation, and all those who wish to broaden their knowledge in the allied field. - Covers advances in the multimodal signal processing and artificial intelligence assistive HMIs - Presents theories, algorithms, realizations, applications, approaches, and challenges that will have their impact and contribution in the design and development of modern and effective HMI (Human Machine Interaction) system - Presents different aspects of the multimodal signals, from the sensing to analysis using hardware/software, and making use of machine/ensemble/deep learning in the intended problem-solving

Recent developments in parallel computing for various fields of application are providing improved solutions for handling data. These newer, innovative ideas offer the technical support necessary to enhance intellectual decisions, while also dealing more efficiently with the huge volumes of data currently involved. This book presents the proceedings of ICAPTA 2022, the International Conference on Advances in Parallel Computing Technologies and Applications, hosted as a virtual conference from Bangalore, India, on 27 and 28 January 2022. The aim of the conference was to provide a forum for the sharing of knowledge about various aspects of parallel computing in communications systems and networking, including cloud and virtualization solutions, management technologies and vertical application areas. The conference also provided a premier platform for scientists, researchers, practitioners and academicians to present and discuss their most recent innovations, trends and concerns, as well as the practical challenges encountered in this field. More than 300 submissions were received for the conference, from which the 91 full-length papers presented here were accepted after review by a panel of subject experts. Topics covered include parallel computing in communication, machine learning intelligence for parallel computing and parallel computing for software services in theoretical and practical aspects. Providing an overview of recent developments in the field, the book will be of interest to all those whose work involves the use of parallel computing technologies.
