Intelligent technologies are the essential factors of innovation, and enable the industry to overcome technological limitations and explore the new frontiers. Therefore it is necessary for scientists and practitioners to cooperate and inspire each other, and use the latest research results in creating new designs and products. The idea of this book came out with the industrial workshop organized at the ISMIS conference in Warsaw, 2011. The book covers several applications of emerging, intelligent technologies in various branches of the industry. The contributions describe modern intelligent tools, algorithms and architectures, which have the potential to solve real problems, experienced by practitioners in various industry sectors. We hope this volume will show new directions for cooperation between science and industry and will facilitate efficient transfer of knowledge in the area of intelligent information systems.

This volume covers a wide array of topics related to research, technology and sustainability for technology researchers and educators. Chapter 1 explores the detection of fake news in a distributed environment. Material science is covered in Chapter 2, which explains the influence of MOS2, B4C, and graphite on the mechanical and dry sliding wear behavior of aluminum 7075 hybrid matrix composites.

Sustainable development is a key theme in Chapters 17 to 26, addressing issues like sensor-based vehicle fuel theft detection, waste management techniques, bioremediation of soil contaminated with heavy metals, sustainable agriculture practices, and novel approaches in bioplastics and nanoremediation. Finally, Chapters 27 to 29 touch upon renewable energy and Industrial IoT, discussing research challenges in renewable energy sources, recent trends, and the transformation brought about by the Industrial Internet of Things.

This book gathers recent research works in emerging Artificial Intelligence (AI) methods for the convergence of communication, caching, control, and computing resources in cloud-based Internet of Vehicles (IoV) infrastructures. In this context, the book's major subjects cover the analysis and the development of AI-powered mechanisms in future IoV applications and architectures. It addresses the major new technological developments in the field and reflects current research trends and industry needs. It comprises a good balance between theoretical and practical issues, covering case studies, experience and evaluation reports, and best practices in utilizing AI applications in IoV networks. It also provides technical/scientific information about various aspects of AI technologies, ranging from basic concepts to research-grade material, including future directions. This book is intended for researchers, practitioners, engineers, and scientists involved in designing and developing protocols and AI applications and services for IoV-related devices.

This set compiles more than 240 chapters from the world's leading experts to provide a foundational body of research to drive further evolution and innovation of these next-generation technologies and their applications, of which scientific, technological, and commercial communities have only begun to scratch the surface.

Advances in artificial intelligence (AI) have the potential to transform the nature of scientific inquiry and lead to significant innovations in engineering. To date, AI has primarily been used alongside existing design and discovery practices to help researchers analyze or interpret data, e.g., predict the structure of proteins, track insect biodiversity, etc. However, AI will play a much bigger role in design and discovery in the near future ― developing novel scientific hypotheses and experiments and creating new engineering design processes ― all with minimal human involvement. While AI has the potential to spur innovation and further scientific understanding beyond the limits of the human mind and abilities, it could also exacerbate inequities, perpetuate human biases, and even create new ones. Maximizing the benefits of AI and avoiding its pitfalls, will require addressing real and imminent challenges. Leaps and Boundaries explores the opportunities, challenges, and implications of deploying AI technologies to enable scientific and engineering research design and discovery in Canada.

Due to the exponential rise of emerging technology, there have been significant developments in intelligent systems. This has facilitated increasing opportunities for new applications and improvements. Developments and Trends in Intelligent Technologies and Smart Systems is a critical source of scholarly material on the design, implementation, and integration of intelligent applications across numerous industries. Highlighting a range of innovative topics such as enterprise modeling, remote patient monitoring, and service-oriented architecture, this book is ideally designed for researchers, engineers, computer scientists, academics, students, and professionals interested in the latest applications of intelligent technologies.
