Smart Cyber Ecosystem for Sustainable Development : Principles, Building Blocks, and Paradigms

As the entire ecosystem is moving towards a sustainable goal, technology driven smart cyber system is the enabling factor to make this a success, and the current book documents how this can be attained.

The cyber ecosystem consists of a huge number of different entities that work and interact with each other in a highly diversified manner. In this era, when the world is surrounded by many unseen challenges and when its population is increasing and resources are decreasing, scientists, researchers, academicians, industrialists, government agencies and other stakeholders are looking toward smart and intelligent cyber systems that can guarantee sustainable development for a better and healthier ecosystem. The main actors of this cyber ecosystem include the Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI), and the mechanisms providing cybersecurity.

This book attempts to collect and publish innovative ideas, emerging trends, implementation experiences, and pertinent user cases for the purpose of serving mankind and societies with sustainable societal development. The 22 chapters of the book are divided into three sections: Section I deals with the Internet of Things, Section II focuses on artificial intelligence and especially its applications in healthcare, whereas Section III investigates the different cyber security mechanisms.
