Recent Trends in Artificial Intelligence Towards a Smart World: Applications in Industries and Sectors

This book compiles artificial intelligence (AI) applications in new communication technologies such as the cognitive radio networks, internet of things (IoT), internet of drones (IoD), internet of vehicles (IoV), and autonomous underwater vehicles (AUV), which are expected to increase the amount of data traffic. Recognizing that AI is revolutionizing industries with its applications and helping us solve complex problems with ease, the book tackles a variety of industries and sectors such as agriculture, logistics, infrastructure, manufacturing, education, disaster management, transport, surveillance, and more. Contributions included in the book are useful for students, engineers (disciplines like telecommunication, mechanical and computer science, etc.), teachers, people studying and working for strategic, tactical and operational management. It is also useful for data scientists and anyone else who wants to have an insight into the impact of artificial intelligence on various industries. Due to its focus on healthcare and agriculture, the horizon of the book is enhanced to include healthcare industry personnels and agriculture sector. Additionally, it provides guidance for government personnel who are working towards system upgradation for managing dynamic traffic demands.
