This book presents a detailed explanation of the concepts, taxonomy, and challenges in Healthcare 4.0 and provides frameworks and architectures for the adaptation and fusion of emerging technologies under Healthcare 5.0. The healthcare industry requires technological upgrades to provide precise, accurate, and automatic remote health monitoring and diagnosis. This reference book offers an early opportunity to explore emerging technologies and understand current issues, problems, and concepts.Health 5.0: Concepts, Challenges, and Solutions provides state-of-the-art research topics and opportunities of IoMT in personalized healthcare. It presents diversified IoMT applications for smart healthcare that supports lifestyle changes as a preventive measure and discusses health and care for all citizens to lead a good quality of life. The book illustrates the advancements of IoMT in augmented reality and AI and offers use-cases of edge computing for remote healthcare. The book also highlights the architectures, frameworks, and current research issues in IoMT and goes on to focus on sustainable healthcare for smart cities using edge computing, IoMT, and big data. The details of the development of advanced therapeutic instrumentation, along with the promotion of digital therapy, are also provided.The primary audience for this book includes academicians, researcher scholars, IoMT developers, cloud-based health application designers, and medical practitioners who are engaged in providing healthcare services using recent technologies.

This book constitutes the proceedings of the Second International Conference on 5G for Future Wireless Networks, 5GWN 2019, held in Changsa, China, in February 2019.

This book constitutes the proceedings of the Third International Conference on 6G for Future Wireless Networks, 6GN 2020, held in Tianjin, China, in August 2020. The 45 full papers were selected from 109 submissions and present the state of the art and practical applications of 6G technologies.

This book examines whether the integration of edge intelligence (EI) and blockchain (BC) can open up new horizons for providing ubiquitous intelligent services. Accordingly, the authors conduct a summarization of the recent research efforts on the existing works for EI and BC, further painting a comprehensive picture of the limitation of EI and why BC could benefit EI. To examine how to integrate EI and BC, the authors discuss the BC-driven EI and tailoring BC to EI, including an overview, motivations, and integrated frameworks. Finally, some challenges and future directions are explored. The book explores the technologies associated with the integrated system between EI and BC, and further bridges the gap between immature BC and EI-amicable BC.Explores the integration of edge intelligence (EI) and blockchain (BC), including their integrated motivations, frameworks and challenges;Presents how BC-driven EI can realize computing-power management, data administration, and model optimization;Describes how to tailor BC to better support EI, including flexible consensus protocol, effective incentive mechanism, intellectuality smart contract, and scalable BC system tailoring;Presents some key research challenges and future directions for the integrated system.

This book constitutes the post-conference proceedings of the First International Conference on Smart Grid Inspired Future Technologies, SmartGIFT 2016, held in May 2016 in Liverpool, UK. Smart grid is the next generation electric grid that enables efficient, intelligent, and economical power generation, transmission, and distribution. The 25 revised full papers presented were reviewed and selected from 36 submissions. The papers cover technical topics such as high-level ideology and methodology, concrete smart grid inspired data sensing, processing, and networking technologies, smart grid system architecture, Quality of Service (QoS), energy efficiency, security in smart grid systems, management of smart grid systems, service engineering and algorithm design, and real-world deployment experiences.

By focusing on deep learning as the most representative technique of AI, this book provides a comprehensive overview of how AI services are being applied to the network edge near the data sources, and demonstrates how AI and edge computing can be mutually beneficial.
