This book contains the proceedings of the Tenth International Network Conference (INC 2014), which was held in Plymouth, UK, in July 2014. A total of 13 papers were accepted for inclusion in the conference (with a further three papers included in these proceedings from the Ninth International Workshop on Digital Forensics and Incident Analysis). The main topics of the book include: Network Technologies; Mobile and Wireless Networking; Security and Privacy; Applications and Impacts. The papers address state-of-the-art research and applications of network technology, arising from both the academic and industrial domains. These proceedings should consequently be of interest to network practitioners, researchers, academics, and technical managers involved in the design, development and use of network systems.

The ubiquity of modern technologies has allowed for increased connectivity between people and devices across the globe. This connected infrastructure of networks creates numerous opportunities for applications and uses. As the applications of the internet of things continue to progress so do the security concerns for this technology. The study of threat prevention in the internet of things is necessary as security breaches in this field can ruin industries and lives. Securing the Internet of Things: Concepts, Methodologies, Tools, and Applications is a vital reference source that examines recent developments and emerging trends in security and privacy for the internet of things through new models, practical solutions, and technological advancements related to security. Highlighting a range of topics such as cloud security, threat detection, and open source software, this multi-volume book is ideally designed for engineers, IT consultants, ICT procurement managers, network system integrators, infrastructure service providers, researchers, academics, and professionals interested in current research on security practices pertaining to the internet of things.

Technology has become deeply integrated into modern society and various activities throughout everyday life. However, this increases the risk of vulnerabilities, such as hacking or system errors, among other online threats. Cybersecurity Breaches and Issues Surrounding Online Threat Protection is an essential reference source for the latest scholarly research on the various types of unauthorized access or damage to electronic data. Featuring extensive coverage across a range of relevant perspectives and topics, such as robotics, cloud computing, and electronic data diffusion, this publication is ideally designed for academicians, researchers, computer engineers, graduate students, and practitioners seeking current research on the threats that exist in the world of technology.

This volume constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 14th International Conference on Hybrid Artificial Intelligent Systems, HAIS 2019, held in León, Spain, in September 2019. The 64 full papers published in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 134 submissions. They are organized in the following topical sections: data mining, knowledge discovery and big data; bio-inspired models and evolutionary computation; learning algorithms; visual analysis and advanced data processing techniques; data mining applications; and hybrid intelligent applications.

This book discusses the evolution of future-generation technologies through the Internet of things, bringing together all the related technologies on a single platform to offer valuable insights for undergraduate and postgraduate students, researchers, academics and industry practitioners. The book uses data, network engineering and intelligent decision- support system-by-design principles to design a reliable IoT-enabled ecosystem and to implement cyber-physical pervasive infrastructure solutions. It takes readers on a journey that begins with understanding the insight paradigm of IoT-enabled technologies and how it can be applied. It walks readers through engaging with real-time challenges and building a safe infrastructure for IoT-based, future-generation technologies. The book helps researchers and practitioners to understand the design architecture through IoT and the state of the art in IoT countermeasures. It also highlights the differences between heterogeneous platforms in IoT-enabled infrastructure and traditional ad hoc or infrastructural networks, and provides a comprehensive discussion on functional frameworks for IoT, object identification, IoT domain model, RFID technology, wearable sensors, WBAN, IoT semantics, knowledge extraction, and security and privacy issues in IoT-based ecosystems. Written by leading international experts, it explores IoT-enabled insight paradigms, which are utilized for the future benefit of humans. It also includes references to numerous works. Divided into stand-alone chapters, this highly readable book is intended for specialists, researchers, graduate students, designers, experts, and engineers involved in research on healthcare-related issues.

This book presents a broad range of deep-learning applications related to vision, natural language processing, gene expression, arbitrary object recognition, driverless cars, semantic image segmentation, deep visual residual abstraction, brain–computer interfaces, big data processing, hierarchical deep learning networks as game-playing artefacts using regret matching, and building GPU-accelerated deep learning frameworks. Deep learning, an advanced level of machine learning technique that combines class of learning algorithms with the use of many layers of nonlinear units, has gained considerable attention in recent times. Unlike other books on the market, this volume addresses the challenges of deep learning implementation, computation time, and the complexity of reasoning and modeling different type of data. As such, it is a valuable and comprehensive resource for engineers, researchers, graduate students and Ph.D. scholars.

This three volume book contains the Proceedings of 5th International Conference on Advanced Computing, Networking and Informatics (ICACNI 2017). The book focuses on the recent advancement of the broad areas of advanced computing, networking and informatics. It also includes novel approaches devised by researchers from across the globe. This book brings together academic scientists, professors, research scholars and students to share and disseminate information on knowledge and scientific research works related to computing, networking, and informatics to discuss the practical challenges encountered and the solutions adopted. The book also promotes translation of basic research into applied investigation and convert applied investigation into practice.
