Smart Applications and Sustainability in the AIoT Era (Sustainable Civil Infrastructures)
by Fadi Al-TurjmanThis book gathers recent research work on emerging Artificial Intelligence (AI) methods for processing and storing data generated by smart infrastructures. Smart infrastructures gather Terabytes of data nowadays with no need for traditional control. The data automatically uploads to the cloud computing platform. The cloud analyses the data and generates the required output in visualization, graph, and action. A remote access network can be constructed dependent on either low-elevation or high-altitude stages. When associated with satellite and earthly frameworks, these stages empower a far-reaching access network with worldwide inclusion and diverse administration provisioning. Data analytics are used in agriculture, mining, waste management, energy, and military defenses. Major topics covered include the analysis and development of AI-powered mechanisms in future IoT and smart infrastructures applications. Further, the book addresses new technological developments, current research trends, and industry needs. Presenting case studies, experience and evaluation reports, and best practices in utilizing AI applications in IoT networks, it strikes a good balance between theoretical and practical issues. It also provides technical/scientific information on various aspects of AI technologies, ranging from basic concepts to research grade material, including future directions. The book is intended for researchers, practitioners, engineers and scientists involved in the design and development of protocols and AI applications for smart and sustainable infrastructure-related devices.

Smart Assisted Living: Toward An Open Smart-Home Infrastructure (Computer Communications and Networks)
by Feng Chen Rebeca I. García-Betances Liming Chen María Fernanda Cabrera-Umpiérrez Chris NugentSmart Homes (SH) offer a promising approach to assisted living for the ageing population. Yet the main obstacle to the rapid development and deployment of Smart Home (SH) solutions essentially arises from the nature of the SH field, which is multidisciplinary and involves diverse applications and various stakeholders. Accordingly, an alternative to a one-size-fits-all approach is needed in order to advance the state of the art towards an open SH infrastructure.This book makes a valuable and critical contribution to smart assisted living research through the development of new effective, integrated, and interoperable SH solutions. It focuses on four underlying aspects: (1) Sensing and Monitoring Technologies; (2) Context Interference and Behaviour Analysis; (3) Personalisation and Adaptive Interaction, and (4) Open Smart Home and Service Infrastructures, demonstrating how fundamental theories, models and algorithms can be exploited to solve real-world problems.This comprehensive and timely book offers a unique and essential reference guide for policymakers, funding bodies, researchers, technology developers and managers, end users, carers, clinicians, healthcare service providers, educators and students, helping them adopt and implement smart assisted living systems.
Smart Automotive Mobility: Reliable Technology for the Mobile Human (Human–Computer Interaction Series)
by Gerrit MeixnerThis book focuses on smart results in the field of smart automotive mobility concentrating on (semi-)autonomous cars. The results are based on 5 recently finished public-funded research projects with a budget of over 15 million Euro.

Smart Battery Management for Enhanced Safety (Key Technologies on New Energy Vehicles)
by Zhongbao WeiThis book consolidates studies in the rapidly and foreseeably growing field of battery management. The primary focus is to overview the management of batteries (Li-ion batteries and some cases of flow batteries) with the fusion of mechanism and AI-based approaches. The book can be categorized into three groups, i.e., (i) mechanism and AI-based battery modeling and parameterization, (ii) AI-based diagnostic, early warning, and active safety control, and (iii) emerging techniques of smart battery and smart management, combining the emerging areas of embedded sensing and reconfigurable batteries. It is well recognized that the battery safety and management are the kernel of energy storage, renewable utilization, and low-carbon society, which have been highly popular in recent years. The exploration of AI techniques for advanced battery management has been seldom discussed systematically before. Moreover, the combination of AI and mechanism approaches can remarkably enhance the battery management, which however has never been focused on in previous books. Therefore, this book can add new knowledge to the paradigm and attract the attention of academics, scientists, engineers, and practitioners. It is a reference book for researchers and engineers in related fields. The step-by-step guidance, comprehensive introduction, and case studies make it accessible to audiences of different levels, from graduates to experienced engineers.
Smart Big Data in Digital Agriculture Applications: Acquisition, Advanced Analytics, and Plant Physiology-informed Artificial Intelligence (Agriculture Automation and Control)
by Haoyu Niu YangQuan ChenIn the dynamic realm of digital agriculture, the integration of big data acquisition platforms has sparked both curiosity and enthusiasm among researchers and agricultural practitioners. This book embarks on a journey to explore the intersection of artificial intelligence and agriculture, focusing on small-unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs), edge-AI sensors and the profound impact they have on digital agriculture, particularly in the context of heterogeneous crops, such as walnuts, pomegranates, cotton, etc. For example, lightweight sensors mounted on UAVs, including multispectral and thermal infrared cameras, serve as invaluable tools for capturing high-resolution images. Their enhanced temporal and spatial resolutions, coupled with cost effectiveness and near-real-time data acquisition, position UAVs as an optimal platform for mapping and monitoring crop variability in vast expanses. This combination of data acquisition platforms and advanced analytics generates substantial datasets, necessitating a deep understanding of fractional-order thinking, which is imperative due to the inherent “complexity” and consequent variability within the agricultural process. Much optimism is vested in the field of artificial intelligence, such as machine learning (ML) and computer vision (CV), where the efficient utilization of big data to make it “smart” is of paramount importance in agricultural research. Central to this learning process lies the intricate relationship between plant physiology and optimization methods. The key to the learning process is the plant physiology and optimization method. Crafting an efficient optimization method raises three pivotal questions: 1.) What represents the best approach to optimization? 2.) How can we achieve a more optimal optimization? 3.) Is it possible to demand “more optimal machine learning,” exemplified by deep learning, while minimizing the need for extensive labeled data for digital agriculture? This book details the foundations of the plant physiology-informed machine learning (PPIML) and the principle of tail matching (POTM) framework. It is the 9th title of the "Agriculture Automation and Control" book series published by Springer.

Smart Buildings, Smart Communities and Demand Response
by Denia Kolokotsa Nikos KampelisThis book focuses on near-zero energy buildings (NZEBs), smart communities and microgrids. In this context, demand response (DR) is associated with significant environmental and economic benefits when looking at how electricity grids, communities and buildings can operate optimally. In DR, the consumer becomes a prosumer with an important active role in the exchange of energy on an hourly basis. DR is gradually gaining ground with respect to the reduction of peak loads, grid balancing and dealing with the volatility of renewable energy sources (RES). This transition calls for high environmental awareness and new tools or services that will improve the dynamic as well as secure multidirectional exchange of energy and data. Overall, DR is identified as an important field for technological and market innovations aligned with climate change mitigation policies and the transition to sustainable smart grids in the foreseeable future. Smart Buildings, Smart Communities and Demand Response provides an insight into various intrinsic aspects of DR potential, at the building and the community level.
