This edited book helps researchers and practitioners to understand e-health, m-healthcare architecture through IoT and the state of the art in IoT counter measures. This book provides a comprehensive discussion on a functional framework for IoT-based healthcare systems, intelligent medicine box, RFID technology, HMI, cognitive interpretation, BCI, remote health monitoring systems, wearable sensors, WBAN, healthcare analytics, machine learning (ML) techniques for IoT-enabled healthcare services, security and privacy issues in IoT-based healthcare monitoring systems. The book discusses integration of IoT with big data and cloud computing for solving several real-time problems by the use of smart healthcare applications. In these applications, the cloud computing provides a common workplace for IoT and big data, big data provides data analytics technology and IoT provides the source of data. It serves as a reference resource for researchers and practitioners in academia and industry.

To become competitive in harsh global markets SMEs need to eTransform. This process, eTransformation, requires SMEs to change along a number of dimensions. First SMEs require changes in organisational Strategy - company environment, their goals and objectives as well as their products, services and operations; then Structure - company departments and divisions followed by Business Tasks and Processes - automation, streamlining and integration. Only after these changes, SMEs are ready to change along IT Tools and Systems Dimension, which involves selecting appropriate ICT and security. Moreover, based on the findings about the eTransfromation Dimensions, the study allowed for eTransformation Guide (eT Gude), an online system that SMEs can now use to guide, track and measure their eTransformation journey to be developed. This book is aimed at General Mangers and Chief Executive Officers of SMEs, as well as academics and other researcher in the field of Information Systems. It is expected that this book will help its readers understand that successful ICT selection and implementation require a holistic business analysis and changes along four eTransformation Dimensions.

From a young age, Jonathan Fitzgerald was groomed to become his father William's successor to lead Fitzgerald International. As his only heir, Jonathan stood to inherit the vast holdings of the company. The inner circle of his ideal life was rounded off by his two best friends since childhood, Maxwell Adams and Bradley Spellman as well as his beautiful fiancee Madison Shelton. On his flight to a business conference along with Maxwell, their small plane was caught in a deadly snowstorm and despite Jonathan's heroics at the controls, the two friends perished in the furious blizzard. When they found themselves in the afterlife, Max quickly embraced his new existence, but Jonathan was not ready to surrender his humanity just yet. Uninterested in his surroundings, he found himself wondering aimlessly about his newfound existence when he caught a glimpse of a young woman hiking in a scene taking place outside his realm. Jonathan asked her significance to his grandparents who were watching the events unfolding outside. "She's our friends' granddaughter," his grandmother said to him and he went away. Going against a warning given, he somehow is able to cross the dimension back into a limbo of physical existence. But he's no longer a human being and becoming one again would be an impossible undertaking. Undaunted, he prevails and soon after, briefly runs into Eve Anne, the young woman his grandparents had been keenly observing before, a fact that didn't escape him. Struck by her beauty, he couldn't get her off his mind. Soon after witnessing a crime he's marked for death by the hit men who want to silence him at any cost. As he finds himself fighting for his life from an unlikely foe, he's forced to run in a relentless chase that takes him from the States, through Europe and Central America. Fortunately, he finds an unexpected ally that would change his life forever. In the end, he realized he couldn't change fate, at best he could circumvent the path leading to it, but the final destination would be the same.
