This book contains a collection of high-quality papers describing the results of relevant investigations and cutting-edge technologies, aimed at improving key aspects of real life, including major challenges such as the development of smart cities, smart buildings, smart grids, and the reduction of the impact of human activities on the environment. Sustainability requires the use of green technologies and techniques and good practices. Artificial intelligence seems to be an appropriate approach to optimize the use of resources. The main focus of this book is the dissemination of novel and innovative technologies, techniques and applications of artificial intelligence, computing and information and communications technologies, and new digital services such as digital marketing, smart tourism, smart agriculture, green and renewable energy sources. Besides, this book focuses on nurturing energy trends including renewable energies, smart grids, human activity impact, communication, behaviour, and social development, and quality of life improvement fields based on the innovative use of sensors, big data and the Internet of things (IoT), telecommunications and machine learning.

This book addresses a range of real-world issues including industrial activity, energy management, education, business and health. Today, technology is a part of virtually every human activity, and is used to support, monitor and manage equipment, facilities, commodities, industry, business, and individuals’ health, among others. As technology evolves, new applications, methods and techniques arise, while at the same time citizens’ expectations from technology continue to grow.In order to meet the nearly insatiable demand for new applications, better performance and higher reliability, trustworthiness, security, and power consumption efficiency, engineers must deliver smart innovations, i.e., must develop the best techniques, technologies and services in a way that respects human beings and the environment.With that goal in mind, the key topics addressed in this book are: smart technologies and artificial intelligence, green energy systems, aerospaceengineering/robotics and IT, information security and mobile engineering, IT in bio-medical engineering and smart agronomy, smart marketing, management and tourism policy, technology and education, and hydrogen and fuel-cell energy technologies.
