This book presents important results and methods towards achieving sustainable ultrascale computing systems. The book covers state-of-the-art technologies and methodologies to address the huge computer processing requirements of big data and the Internet of Things.

This edited book covers analytical techniques for handling the huge amount of data generated by the Internet of Things, from architectures and platforms to security and privacy issues, applications, and challenges as well as future directions.

This book examines various topics and approaches related to the security and privacy in big data and cloud computing, where authors share their expertise in their respective chapters on a broad range of security and privacy challenges and state of the art solutions.

This book describes how smart cities can be designed with data at their heart, moving from a broad vision to a consistent city-wide collaborative configuration of activities.

This book describes a number of systems-level 'patterns' (pre-defined, reusable sets of views) that may be applied using the systems modelling language SysML for the development of any number of different applications and as the foundations for a system model.

Inspired by MPEG-I and JPEG-PLENO standardization activities, this book is for readers who want to understand 3D representations and multi-camera video processing for novel immersive media applications. The authors address new challenges that arise beyond compression-only, such as depth acquisition and 3D rendering.

This book covers important topics and approaches related to the modeling and simulation of complex communication networks from a complex adaptive systems perspective. The authors present different modeling paradigms and approaches as well as surveys and case studies.
