In-depth exploration of machine learning techniques applied to UAV operations and communications, highlighting areas of potential growth and research gaps Artificial Intelligence for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles provides a comprehensive overview of machine learning (ML) techniques used in unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) operations, communications, sensing, and computing. It emphasizes key components of UAV activity to which ML can significantly contribute including perception and feature extraction, feature interpretation and regeneration, trajectory and mission planning, and aerodynamic control and operation. The book considers the notion of security in the UAV network primarily in terms of its underlying rationale. This book also includes a detailed analysis of UAV behavior with respect to time and explores online machine learning-based solutions for UAV-assisted IoT networks. Additional topics include: Joint cruise control and data collectionResilience in an AI-aided UAV network against multiple attacks, introducing a flexible and adaptive threshold to alleviate malicious conductQuantification of influencing attributes, quantification of weights affiliated with these attributes, and movement tracking of malicious UAVsIntegration of contextual information, threshold definitions, and time-variant behavior analysisArtificial Intelligence for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles is an essential up-to-date reference on the subject for researchers, professors, graduate and senior undergraduate students, and industry professionals in the field.

This book offers a comprehensive exploration of federated learning (FL), a novel approach to decentralized, privacy-preserving machine learning. This book delves into the resilience and security challenges inherent to FL, such as model poisoning and malicious attacks, that jeopardize system integrity. Through cutting-edge research and practical insights, the book introduces defense mechanisms like representational similarity analysis and visual explanation techniques, which safeguard FL models while ensuring performance and scalability. It also explores the evolving landscape of FL, including the integration of graph neural networks, explainable AI, and energy-efficient designs that drive sustainability in distributed systems. As FL becomes increasingly vital across industries—from healthcare and finance to IoT and smart cities—this book addresses the critical balance between security, functionality, and compliance with global data privacy regulations. It is an essential resource for researchers, industry professionals, and policymakers aiming to navigate and contribute to the rapidly growing domain of FL. By bridging theory and practice, this book contributes to advancing secure and resilient FL technologies.

This book deals with the SLF/ELF wave propagation, an important branch of electromagnetic theory. The SLF/ELF wave propagation theory is well applied in earthquake electromagnetic radiation, submarine communication, thunderstorm detection, and geophysical prospecting and diagnostics. The propagation of SLF/ELF electromagnetic waves is introduced in various media like the earth-ionospheric waveguide, ionospheric plasma, sea water, earth, and the boundary between two different media or the stratified media. Applications in the earthquake electromagnetic radiation and the submarine communications are also addressed. This book is intended for scientists and engineers in the fields of radio propagation and EM theory and applications.Prof. Pan is a professor at China Research Institute of Radiowave Propagation in Qingdao (China).
