This edited volume presents the best chapters presented during the international conference on computer and applications ICCA’17 which was held in Dubai, United Arab Emirates in September 2017. Selected chapters present new advances in digital information, communications and multimedia. Authors from different countries show and discuss their findings, propose new approaches, compare them with the existing ones and include recommendations. They address all applications of computing including (but not limited to) connected health, information security, assistive technology, edutainment and serious games, education, grid computing, transportation, social computing, natural language processing, knowledge extraction and reasoning, Arabic apps, image and pattern processing, virtual reality, cloud computing, haptics, information security, robotics, networks algorithms, web engineering, big data analytics, ontology, constraints satisfaction, cryptography and steganography, Fuzzy logic, soft computing, neural networks, artificial intelligence, biometry and bio-informatics, embedded systems, computer graphics, algorithms and optimization, Internet of things and smart cities. The book can be used by researchers and practitioners to discover the recent trends in computer applications. It opens a new horizon for research discovery works locally and internationally.

In a world where computer science is now an essential element in all of our lives, a new opportunity to disseminate the latest research and trends is always welcome. This book presents the proceedings of the first International Conference on Recent Trends in Computing (ICRTC 2021), which was held as a virtual event on 21 – 22 May 2021 at Sanjivani College of Engineering, Kopargaon, India due to the restrictions of the COVID-19 pandemic. This online conference, aimed at facilitating academic exchange among researchers, enabled experts and scholars around from around the globe to gather for the discussion of the latest advanced research in the field despite the extensive travel restrictions still in place. The book contains 134 papers selected from 329 submitted papers after a rigorous peer-review process, and topics covered include advanced computing, networking, informatics, security and privacy, and other related fields. The book will be of interest to all those eager to find the latest trends and most recent developments in computer science.

This book aims to bring together leading academic scientists, researchers, and research scholars to exchange and share their experiences and research results on all aspects of Artificial Intelligence. The book provides a premier interdisciplinary platform to present practical challenges and adopted solutions. The book addresses the complete functional framework workflow in Artificial Intelligence technology. It explores the basic and high-level concepts and can serve as a manual for the industry for beginners and the more advanced. It covers intelligent and automated systems and its implications to the real-world, and offers data acquisition and case studies related to data-intensive technologies in AI-based applications. The book will be of interest to researchers, professionals, scientists, professors, students of computer science engineering, electronics and communications, as well as information technology.

Please note this is a Short Discount publication. This year's edition of Computer Architecture Technology Trends analyses the trends which are taking place in the architecture of computing systems today. Due to the sheer number of different applications to which computers are being applied, there seems no end to the different adoptions which proliferate. There are, however, some underlying trends which appear. Decision makers should be aware of these trends when specifying architectures, particularly for future applications. This report is fully revised and updated and provides insight into the fundamentals of computer architecture – what it is, and how it is applied to fit a particular problem definition. Also discussed is where the future leads, given current trends in computer architecture.
