Download or read book Towards Resilient Social IoT Sensors and Networks written by Subhash Sagar and published by Springer. This book was released on 2024-07-22 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book, at first, explores the evolution of the IoT to SIoT and offers a comprehensive understanding of SIoT and trust management vis-à-vis SIoT. It subsequently envisages trust quantification models by employing key SIoT-specific trust features, including SIoT relationships (e.g., friendships, working relationships, and community-of-interest), direct observations, and indirect observations, to augment the idea of trust quantification of a SIoT object. Furthermore, diverse trust aggregation techniques, i.e., conventional weighted sum, machine learning, and artificial neural networks, are proposed so as to address the challenges of the trust aggregation. Finally, the book outlines the future research directions for emphasizing the importance of trustworthiness management in the evolving notion of the SIoT.

Download or read book Developments Towards Next Generation Intelligent Systems for Sustainable Development written by Sharma, Shanu and published by IGI Global. This book was released on 2024-04-04 with total page 347 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The rapid proliferation of connected devices in our daily lives, from smart homes to industrial sensors, has led to an explosion of data that requires processing before it is useful to experts. However, modern devices often have limited resources, making it challenging to decode and utilize this data effectively. Additionally, the need for real-time decision-making further complicates this issue, as traditional data processing methods take far too long to be able to keep up with the required volume and speed. Developments Towards Next Generation Intelligent Systems for Sustainable Development offers a comprehensive solution to these challenges by integrating novel technologies such as AI, edge computing, federated learning, quantum computing, and more. The book shows how intelligent systems can maximize computing power by leveraging these technologies to process large volumes of data efficiently and autonomously and make real-time decisions. The proposed architectures and frameworks focus on real-time analysis, faster decision-making, enhanced privacy, and efficient data processing.
