Advances in Applications of Computational Intelligence and the Internet of Things

This new volume illustrates the diverse applications of IoT. The volume addresses the crucial issue of data safekeeping along with the development of a new cryptographic and security technology as well as a range of other advances in IoT. The volume looks at the application of IoT in medical technology and healthcare, including the design of IoT-based mobile healthcare units and a blockchain technique based smart health record system. Other topics include a blended IoT-enabled learning approach through a study employing clustering techniques, an IoT-enabled garbage disposal system with an advanced message notification system through an android application, IoT-based self-healing concrete that uses bacteria and environmental waste, an IoT-enabled trash-the-ash application that regulates flow, and more.

The fresh and innovative advances that demonstrate computational intelligence and IoT in practice that are discussed in this volume will be informative for academicians, scholars, scientists, industry professionals, policymakers, government and non-government organizations, and others.
