The synergy between Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT) is shaping the future of technology and opening a world of unprecedented possibilities. Artificial Intelligence of Things (AIoT): Current and Future Trends brings together researchers and developers from a wide range of domains to share with readers their ideas about how to implement technical advances, application areas for intelligent systems, and development of new services and smart devices connected to the Internet through a variety of wireless technologies. Parallel to this, new capabilities such as pervasive sensing, multimedia sensing, machine learning, deep learning, and computing power are opening the way to new domains, services, and business models beyond the traditional mobile Internet. These new areas in turn come with various requirements in terms of reliability, quality of service, and energy efficiency. In Artificial Intelligence of Things readers learn about the challenges and requiremen
We use water, electricity, and the internet every day--but how do they actually work? And what’s the plan to keep them running for years to come? This nonfiction science graphic novel takes readers on a journey from how the most essential systems were developed to how they are implemented in our world today and how they will be used in the future.What was the first message sent over the internet? How much water does a single person use every day? How was the electric light invented?For every utility we use each day, there’s a hidden history--a story of intrigue, drama, humor, and inequity. This graphic novel provides a guided tour through the science of the past--and reveals how the decisions people made while inventing and constructing early technology still affect the way people use it today.Full of art, maps, and diagrams, Hidden Systems is a thoughtful, humorous exploration of the history of science and what needs to be done now to change the future.
