This book addresses the adoption of intelligent algorithms for resolving challenges in different aspects of the society such as sport, cyber-security, COVID-19 pandemic, advertising, driving, smart environment sensors, blockchain, cloud computing, and health. In addition, the book also covers machine learning fundamentals such as feature selection. The book presents practical simulation results and different illustrations in different chapters for easy understanding of concepts and approaches. The types of contributions in the book are as follows: original research, survey, and theoretical insight that describe advancement in the adoption of technique for resolving the broad range of challenges. Researchers, undergraduates, postgraduates, and industry experts will find the book as a valuable resource that bridges theory and practice. .

These proceedings represent the work of contributors to the 15th International Conference on Cyber Warfare and Security (ICCWS 2020), hosted by Old Dominion University (ODU), Norfolk, Virginia on 12-13 March 2020. The Conference Chair is Prof. Brian K. Payne and the Programme Chair is Prof. Hongyi Wu, both from Old Dominion University. ICCWS is now a well-established event on the academic research calendar and now in its 15th year the key aim remains the opportunity for participants to share ideas and meet the people who hold them. The scope of papers will ensure an interesting two days. The subjects covered illustrate the wide range of topics that fall into this important and ever-growing area of research. With an initial submission of 139 abstracts, after the double blind, peer review process there are 59 Academic research papers, 7 PhD research papers, 4 Masters Research papers, 1 non-academic paper and 1 work-in-progress paper published in these Conference Proceedings. These papers represent research from Australia, Canada, Czech Republic, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Ghana, Lesotho, Malaysia, Namibia, Nigeria, Norway, Portugal, South Africa, South Korea, Sweden, the Netherlands, and USA.

These proceedings represent the work of contributors to the 16th International Conference on Cyber Warfare and Security (ICCWS 2021), hosted by joint collaboration of Tennessee Tech Cybersecurity Education, Research and Outreach Center (CEROC), Computer Science department and the Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Tennessee on 25-26 February 2021. The Conference Co-Chairs are Dr. Juan Lopez Jr, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Tennessee, and Dr. Ambareen Siraj, Tennessee Tech’s Cybersecurity Education, Research and Outreach Center (CEROC), and the Program Chair is Dr. Kalyan Perumalla, from Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Tennessee.

Cyberbiosecurity applies cybersecurity research to the field of biology, and, to a lesser degree, applies biological principles to the field of cybersecurity. As biologists increasingly research, collaborate, and conduct research online, cyberbiosecurity has become crucial to protect against cyber threats. This book provides an overview of cyberbiosecurity through the lens of researchers in academia, industry professionals, and government, in both biology and cybersecurity fields. The book highlights emerging technologies, and identifies emerging threats connected with these technologies, while also providing a discussion of the legal implications involved. This book takes on a multidisciplinary approach, and appeals to both professionals and researchers in the synthetic biology, bioinformatics, and cybersecurity fields.
