This book introduces resource-aware data fusion algorithms to gather and combine data from multiple sources (e.g., sensors) in order to achieve inferences.  These techniques can be used in centralized and distributed systems to overcome sensor failure, technological limitation, and spatial and temporal coverage problems. The algorithms described in this book are evaluated with simulation and experimental results to show they will maintain data integrity and make data useful and informative.

This proceedings book comprises high-quality papers from the 1st International Conference on Intelligent Systems, Blockchain, and Communication Technologies (ISBCom-2024), offering insights into the integration of computing, IoT, and data analytics across diverse fields. Structured to emphasize real-world applications, it presents impactful studies that propose novel solutions to current challenges in these domains.

The book is a valuable resource for researchers, professionals, and students interested in the latest advancements in intelligent systems and smart technologies. It spans foundational theories to practical implementations, exploring new tools and methodologies for data-driven solutions in areas like artificial intelligence, IoT infrastructures, and data analytics. This collection is essential for those seeking to stay updated on current trends and apply theoretical knowledge to practical, innovative applications.

This book introduces a novel transcoding algorithm for real time video applications, designed to overcome inter-operability problems between MPEG-2 to H.264/AVC. The new algorithm achieves 92.8% reduction in the transcoding run time at a price of an acceptable Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR) degradation, enabling readers to use it for real time video applications. The algorithm described is evaluated through simulation and experimental results. In addition, the authors present a hardware implementation of the new algorithm using Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) and Application-specific standard products (ASIC).
