The rapid growth of IoT and its applications in smart cities have
brought about significant challenges for academic scholars. The
increasing number of interconnected devices and the massive amounts
of data they generate strain traditional networks, leading to
inefficiencies and security vulnerabilities. Additionally, the
centralized control plane in Software Defined Networks (SDN) poses
a single point of failure, hindering network performance. Moreover,
IoT devices themselves are susceptible to attacks, compromising
user data and privacy. Scholars in the field urgently need a
comprehensive solution to address these pressing issues.
Network-Enabled IoT Applications for Smart City Services offer a
compelling solution to the challenges faced by academic scholars in
the IoT and smart city domain. Dr. K. Hemant Kumar Reddy, along
with Dr. Diptendu SinhaRoy and Tapas Mishra, presents a persuasive
and timely approach in this book. They propose leveraging SDN,
which decouples the control plane from the data plane, enabling
more efficient handling of high-frequency data streams from IoT
devices. Additionally, the authors advocate for the integration of
blockchain technology to enhance security and reliability in IoT
applications. By decentralizing control and ensuring tamper-proof
transactions, blockchain offers a promising solution for robust
data management. This book provides academic scholars with a
comprehensive and innovative solution to the challenges posed by
IoT applications in smart city services. With their extensive
expertise, the authors address critical issues such as network
strain, security vulnerabilities, and device failures. By offering

Spiritual masters through the ages have devised methods different
than those of science for investigating the great mystery of nature
by, for example, immersing themselves in it, making use of silence,
stillness, and solitude. The scientific and spiritual quests have
been the two great quests of humanity, but somehow a feeling has
developed that science is antagonistic to spirituality. Since the
whole of reality is built up of both matter and consciousness, why
should the quest for the understanding of order in the external
world be antagonistic to the quest for the understanding of order
in the inner world of our consciousness? Science and Spirituality
for a Sustainable World brings together theories, methodologies,
new ideas, experiences, and applications emphasizing the importance
of both spirituality and skill for leadership and sustainable
management, sensitizing leaders and management practitioners toward
the spirituality-skill paradigm, skill-based leadership, and
highlighting the role of spiritual values for environmental
sustainability. Featuring a wide range of topics that focus on the
relationship between spirituality and science such as spiritual
education, management practices, and traditional wisdom, this book
is essential for researchers, academicians, administrators,
managers, professionals, policymakers, and students.
