Advancing Smarter and More Secure Industrial Applications Using AI, IoT, and Blockchain Technology

There is no doubt that there has been much excitement regarding the pioneering contributions of artificial intelligence (AI), the internet of things (IoT), and blockchain technologies and tools in visualizing and realizing smarter as well as sophisticated systems and services. However, researchers are being bombarded with various machine and deep learning algorithms, which are categorized as a part and parcel of the enigmatic AI discipline. The knowledge discovered gets disseminated to actuators and other concerned systems in order to empower them to intelligently plan and insightfully execute appropriate tasks with clarity and confidence. The IoT processes in conjunction with the AI algorithms and blockchain technology are bound to lay out a stimulating foundation for producing and sustaining smarter systems for society. Advancing Smarter and More Secure Industrial Applications Using AI, IoT, and Blockchain Technology articulates and accentuates various AI algorithms, fresh innovations in the IoT, and blockchain spaces. The domain of transforming raw data to information and to relevant knowledge is gaining prominence with the availability of data ingestion, processing, mining, analytics algorithms, platforms, frameworks, and other accelerators. Covering topics such as blockchain applications, Industry 4.0, and cryptography, this book serves as a comprehensive guide for AI researchers, faculty members, IT professionals, academicians, students, researchers, and industry professionals.
