This book highlights recent research results in Bio-Inspired Computing and Applications. It presents 33 selected papers from the 8th International Conference on Innovations in Bio-Inspired Computing and Applications (IBICA 2017), which was held in Marrakesh, Morocco from December 11 to 13, 2017. A premier conference in the nature-inspired computing field, IBICA is intended to bring together the world’s leading researchers and practitioners interested in advancing the state of the art in biologically inspired computing, allowing them to exchange notes on a broad range of disciplines. The book offers a valuable reference guide for all researchers, students and practitioners in the fields of Computer Science and Engineering.

The communication field is evolving rapidly in order to keep up with society’s demands. As such, it becomes imperative to research and report recent advancements in computational intelligence as it applies to communication networks. The Handbook of Research on Recent Developments in Intelligent Communication Application is a pivotal reference source for the latest developments on emerging data communication applications. Featuring extensive coverage across a range of relevant perspectives and topics, such as satellite communication, cognitive radio networks, and wireless sensor networks, this book is ideally designed for engineers, professionals, practitioners, upper-level students, and academics seeking current information on emerging communication networking trends.

The development of new information and communication technologies has a considerable impact on the way humans interact with each other and their environment. The proper use of these technologies is an important consideration in the success of modern human endeavors. Multidisciplinary Perspectives on Telecommunications, Wireless Systems, and Mobile Computing explores some of the latest advances in wireless communication technologies, making use of empirical research and analytical case studies to evaluate best practices in the discipline. This book will provide insight into the next generation of information and communication technologies for developers, engineers, students, researchers, and managers in the telecommunications field.

This book gathers the proceedings of the International Conference on Advanced Information Technology, Services and Systems (AIT2S-18), which was held in Mohammedia, Morocco on October 17–18, 2018. Presenting the latest research in the fields of Modern Information Engineering Concepts and Communication Systems, the book will also be of interest to those working in emerging fields such as Advances in Networking and Sensor Networks, Advances in Software Engineering, Multimedia Systems, E-learning, Big Data, Intelligent Information Systems and Advances in Natural Language Processing.

"This book bridges the gap between solutions and users' needs pertaining to the most relevant open source cloud technologies available today from a practical perspective"--

A complete history and theory of internet daemons brings these little-known—but very consequential—programs into the spotlight We’re used to talking about how tech giants like Google, Facebook, and Amazon rule the internet, but what about daemons? Ubiquitous programs that have colonized the Net’s infrastructure—as well as the devices we use to access it—daemons are little known. Fenwick McKelvey weaves together history, theory, and policy to give a full account of where daemons come from and how they influence our lives—including their role in hot-button issues like network neutrality. Going back to Victorian times and the popular thought experiment Maxwell’s Demon, McKelvey charts how daemons evolved from concept to reality, eventually blossoming into the pandaemonium of code-based creatures that today orchestrates our internet. Digging into real-life examples like sluggish connection speeds, Comcast’s efforts to control peer-to-peer networking, and Pirate Bay’s attempts to elude daemonic control (and skirt copyright), McKelvey shows how daemons have been central to the internet, greatly influencing everyday users. Internet Daemons asks important questions about how much control is being handed over to these automated, autonomous programs, and the consequences for transparency and oversight.
