The authors present a comprehensive review of fog computing systems including energy efficiency and quality of service issues, reliability and fault tolerance, load balancing, and scheduling, utilizing mobile edge computing, internet of things, resource estimation and virtualization in fog computing environments for smart applications.

This book shows how innovations in network analytics, IoTs and cloud computing platforms are being used to ingest, analyse and correlate a myriad of big data across the entire network stack in order to increase quality of service and quality of experience (QoS/QoE) and to improve network performance.

There is a growing interest in the development and deployment of intelligent surveillance systems in public and private locations. This book consists of a selection of extended versions of presentations made in two symposia on intelligent distributed surveillance systems (IDSS) and brings together the latest developments in the field.

This book describes a novel general entire-domain method for the analysis of metallic antennas and scatterers which enables the solution of a very wide class of problems to be obtained using computers of relatively modest capability.

Presenting a detailed framework as well as comparative case studies for security protection, data integrity, privacy preservation, scalability, and healthcare legislation, this book covers state of the art research and addresses privacy and security methods and technologies for EHRs.

This book discusses innovative ideas in the design, modelling, implementation, and optimization of hardware platforms for neural networks. The book provides an overview of this emerging field, from principles to applications, for researchers, postgraduate students and engineers who work on learning-based services and hardware platforms.

This book provides guidance on approaches to the modelling and simulation of energy systems in the built environment. The aim is to equip readers with the understanding required to compose high integrity models, commission realistic simulations, and interpret predictions to assess life cycle performance and ensure operational resilience.

In this comprehensive edited book, the authors introduce edge caching from a theoretical perspective and discuss its role in saving bandwidth. Many physical layer models and techniques, including interference alignment and beamforming, are considered as well as recent advances in intelligent and proactive communication systems.
