This book discusses the latest developments in computing techniques that power smart energy and sustainable solutions. Over the last few years, artificial intelligence (AI) has been more deeply embedded in our lives, revolutionizing industries and communication. Intelligent computing models are now transforming traditional energy applications in this digital age through smart automation, optimization, and adaptation. The book addresses major facets of intelligent computing and communication technologies, such as intelligent data analysis, predictive modeling, optimization, neural networks, AI, machine learning, deep learning, and the Internet of Things (IoT). All these technologies are discussed in practical applications, e.g., smart cities and smart industries, their transformative possibilities.
