The book offers an in-depth exploration of federated learning and its transformative impact on the healthcare industry. It begins by introducing the foundational concepts of federated learning, including its methods and applications within various healthcare domains. It explores how federated learning allows for model training using decentralised data, such as patient records, medical imaging, and wearable sensor data, without centralising sensitive information. This approach ensures patient privacy and addresses critical challenges in healthcare data management.A detailed overview of federated learning, its principles, and its relevance to the healthcare sectorInsights into how federated learning enhances clinical decision-making, disease prediction, diagnosis, and personalised treatment through decentralised data sourcesExamination of issues such as communication overhead, model heterogeneity, and data distribution imbalance, with strategies to overcome these challengesPractical examples of successful federated learning implementations in healthcare demonstrate its impact on patient care and operational efficiencyDiscussions on maintaining data privacy, ensuring compliance with regulations, and addressing ethical concernsThis book is for researchers, healthcare professionals, data scientists, and policymakers interested in leveraging federated learning to enhance healthcare.

HUMAN COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY A unique book explaining how perception, location, communication, cognition, computation, networking, propulsion, integration of federated Internet of Robotic Things (IoRT) and digital platforms are important components of new-generation IoRT applications through continuous, real-time interaction with the world. The 16 chapters in this book discuss new architectures, networking paradigms, trustworthy structures, and platforms for the integration of applications across various business and industrial domains that are needed for the emergence of intelligent things (static or mobile) in collaborative autonomous fleets. These new apps speed up the progress of paradigms of autonomous system design and the proliferation of the Internet of Robotic Things (IoRT). Collaborative robotic things can communicate with other things in the IoRT, learn independently, interact securely with the world, people, and other things, and acquire characteristics that make them self-maintaining, self-aware, self-healing, and fail-safe operational. Due to the ubiquitous nature of collaborative robotic things, the IoRT, which binds together the sensors and the objects of robotic things, is gaining popularity. Therefore, the information contained in this book will provide readers with a better understanding of this interdisciplinary field. Audience Researchers in various fields including computer science, IoT, artificial intelligence, machine learning, and big data analytics.

FUZZY INTELLIGENT SYSTEMS A comprehensive guide to Expert Systems and Fuzzy Logic that is the backbone of artificial intelligence. The objective in writing the book is to foster advancements in the field and help disseminate results concerning recent applications and case studies in the areas of fuzzy logic, intelligent systems, and web-based applications among working professionals and those in education and research covering a broad cross section of technical disciplines. Fuzzy Intelligent Systems: Methodologies, Techniques, and Applications comprises state-of-the-art chapters detailing how expert systems are built and how the fuzzy logic resembling human reasoning, powers them. Engineers, both current and future, need systematic training in the analytic theory and rigorous design of fuzzy control systems to keep up with and advance the rapidly evolving field of applied control technologies. As a consequence, expert systems with fuzzy logic capabilities make for a more versatile and innovative handling of problems. This book showcases the combination of fuzzy logic and neural networks known as a neuro-fuzzy system, which results in a hybrid intelligent system by combining a human-like reasoning style of neural networks. Audience Researchers and students in computer science, Internet of Things, artificial intelligence, machine learning, big data analytics and information and communication technology-related fields. Students will gain a thorough understanding of fuzzy control systems theory by mastering its contents.

INDUSTRIAL INTERNET OF THINGS (IIOT) This book discusses how the industrial internet will be augmented through increased network agility, integrated artificial intelligence (AI) and the capacity to deploy, automate, orchestrate, and secure diverse user cases at hyperscale. Since the internet of things (IoT) dominates all sectors of technology, from home to industry, automation through IoT devices is changing the processes of our daily lives. For example, more and more businesses are adopting and accepting industrial automation on a large scale, with the market for industrial robots expected to reach $73.5 billion in 2023. The primary reason for adopting IoT industrial automation in businesses is the benefits it provides, including enhanced efficiency, high accuracy, cost-effectiveness, quick process completion, low power consumption, fewer errors, and ease of control. The 15 chapters in the book showcase industrial automation through the IoT by including case studies in the areas of the IIoT, robotic and intelligent systems, and web-based applications which will be of interest to working professionals and those in education and research involved in a broad cross-section of technical disciplines.
