In recent years, smart devices have become commonplace in our daily lives. On the Internet of Things (IoT), these devices powered new intelligent services. Their application enabled the rise of intelligent cities, smart agriculture, and Industry 4.0. However, smart devices collect and share large amounts of data, including the habits and preferences of their users. Cybersecurity incidents in intelligent environments may impact services used by millions across the world and make private information public. Information Security and Privacy in Smart Devices: Tools, Methods, and Applications presents research challenges, innovative insights, and trends related to solutions, methods, processes, and applications for maintaining information security and privacy in intelligent environments.

Blockchain technology provided a buzz-seeking opportunity for all industries to implement improved corporate procedures and trust-building. Still, some industries, such as the banking sector, may view it as a disruptive technology that must be adopted. A transaction ledger's contents can be verified, maintained, and synchronized by community members using blockchain technology. A transaction can never be changed or removed from the blockchain; updates may only be made by participants in the system. Its distributed database cannot be manipulated, disrupted, or hacked in the same manner as conventional, user-controlled access systems and centralized databases. Building Secure Business Models Through Blockchain Technology: Tactics, Methods, Limitations, and Performance studies and explores the status of blockchain technology and, through the latest technology, builds business models to secure the future direction in the field of business. This book discusses the tactics and methods, as well as their limitations and performance. Since we need to classify images, we use a Convolutional Neural Network, which is a common choice for this problem. Tensor Flow library is used to write the code in Python.

Distributed Computing to Blockchain: Architecture, Technology, and Applications provides researchers, computer scientists, and data scientists with a comprehensive and applied reference covering the evolution of distributed systems computing into blockchain and associated systems. Divided into three major sections, the book explores the basic topics in the blockchain space extending from distributed systems architecture, distributed ledger, decentralized web to introductory aspects of cryptoeconomics (cryptography and economics) of decentralized applications. The book further explores advanced concepts such as smart contracts; distributed token mining, initial coin offerings; proof of work; public, private, and other blockchains; cryptography; security; and blockchains. The book goes on to review byzantine fault tolerance, distributed ledgers versus blockchains, and blockchain protocols. The final section covers multiple use cases and applications of distributed computing and the future directions for blockchains.

Perform genome analysis and sequencing of data with Amazon Web Services. From its title, you can conclude that this book is about two things: genomics (the science of sequencing and interpreting genetic data) and Amazon Web Services (one of the three big hosted computing platforms). Genomics in the AWS Cloud, therefore, is meant to appeal either to people from a biology background who want to learn how to do genomics work with AWS or to people with a computer background who want to find out how to apply their skills to genomics. Storing Genomics and Medical (e.g., imaging) data at different stages requires enormous storage in a cost-effective manner. Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3), Amazon Glacier, and Amazon Elastics Block Store (Amazon EBS) provide the necessary solutions to securely store, manage, and scale genomic file storage. Moreover, the storage services can interface with various compute services from AWS to process these files.

In today’s era, there is a need for a system that can automate the process of treatment for the patient if medical facilities are out of reach. Smart healthcare can step in to make the patient more self-dependent. 6G with its features can be seen as the future of smart healthcare with IoT and AI. 6G-Enabled IoT and AI for Smart Healthcare: Challenges, Impact, and Analysis offers the fundamentals, history, reality, and challenges faced in the smart healthcare industry today. It discusses the concepts, tools, and techniques of smart healthcare as well as the analysis used. The book details the role that machine learning-based deep learning and 6G-enabled IoT concepts play in the automation of smart healthcare systems. The book goes on to presents applications of smart healthcare through various real-world examples and includes chapters on security and privacy in the 6G-enabled and IoT environment, as well as research on the future prospects of the smart healthcare industry. A completely AI-driven communication network will be 6G. Using 6G, every component of network transmission would be smarter, enabling it to make decisions on its own when necessary. With 6G, the entire planet will be covered, which includes air, space, as well as the ocean. This is only possible by “intelligent AI” being created from the various communication components.

The notion of quality and usability has gained a prominent importance in information and communication technology as well as in Computer Science. In all phases of planning, design, implementation, and optimization of technical systems and services, quality aspects must be taken into account so that their users can experience optimal quality and usability. In this book, the quality and usability of communication technology systems will be fundamentally addressed. Therefore, the necessary terms are first introduced, and the fundamentals of psychophysics (i.e., the relationship between physical quantities and human perceptions) and psychometrics (i.e., the measurement of perceptual quantities) are established. Based on this, the cycle of human-oriented system development, known as usability engineering, is presented. The measurement and prediction of quality and usability are then illustrated with the help of practical examples of communication engineering systems. In particular, systems for information transmission (telephony, Internet-based voice, and video transmission), speech dialog systems, and multimodal dialog systems are discussed. Finally, models for estimating quality and usability in the development phase of such systems are presented. Thus, the topic of quality engineering, i.e., system development that consistently aims at optimal quality, comes full circle.
