This book gathers a collection of high-quality peer-reviewed research papers presented at the International Conference on Big Data, IoT and Machine Learning (BIM 2021), held in Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh, during 23–25 September 2021. The book covers research papers in the field of big data, IoT and machine learning. The book will be helpful for active researchers and practitioners in the field.

The International Symposium on Future ICT (Future-ICT 2019) in conjunction with the 4th International Symposium on Mobile Internet Security (MobiSec 2019) was held on 17–19 October 2019 in Taichung, Taiwan. The symposium provided academic and industry professionals an opportunity to discuss the latest issues and progress in advancing smart applications based on future ICT and its relative security. The symposium aimed to publish high-quality papers strictly related to the various theories and practical applications concerning advanced smart applications, future ICT, and related communications and networks. It was expected that the symposium and its publications would be a trigger for further related research and technology improvements in this field.

This book constitutes the proceedings of the 22nd Conference on Passive and Active Measurement, PAM 2021, which was planned to be held in Cottbus, Germany, in March 2021. Due to the Corona pandemic, the conference was organized as a virtual meeting. The 33 full papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 75 submissions. They were organized in topical sections named: COVID-19; web security; video streaming; TLS; staying connected; DoS; performance; network security; DNS; capacity; and exposing hidden behaviors. Due to the Corona pandemic, PAM 2021 was held as a virtual conference.

The main aim of the book is to give a review of all relevant information regarding a well-known and important problem of Feedback Arc Set (FAS). This review naturally also includes a history of the problem, as well as specific algorithms. To this point such a work does not exist: There are sources where one can find incomplete and perhaps untrustworthy information. With this book, information about FAS can be found easily in one place: formulation, description, theoretical background, applications, algorithms etc. Such a compendium will be of help to people involved in research, but also to people that want to quickly acquaint themselves with the problem and need reliable information. Thus research, professional work and learning can proceed in a more streamlined and faster way.

This book is a compendium of the proceedings of the International Conference on Big Data and Cloud Computing. It includes recent advances in the areas of big data analytics, cloud computing, internet of nano things, cloud security, data analytics in the cloud, smart cities and grids, etc. This volume primarily focuses on the application of the knowledge that promotes ideas for solving the problems of the society through cutting-edge technologies. The articles featured in this proceeding provide novel ideas that contribute to the growth of world class research and development. The contents of this volume will be of interest to researchers and professionals alike.
