High-performance computing (HPC) describes the use of connected
computing units to perform complex tasks. It relies on
parallelization techniques and algorithms to synchronize these
disparate units in order to perform faster than a single processor
could, alone. Used in industries from medicine and research to
military and higher education, this method of computing allows for
users to complete complex data-intensive tasks. This field has
undergone many changes over the past decade, and will continue to
grow in popularity in the coming years. Innovative Research
Applications in Next-Generation High Performance Computing aims to
address the future challenges, advances, and applications of HPC
and related technologies. As the need for such processors
increases, so does the importance of developing new ways to
optimize the performance of these supercomputers. This timely
publication provides comprehensive information for researchers,
students in ICT, program developers, military and government
organizations, and business professionals.
With the ubiquitous diffusion of the IoT, Cloud Computing, 5G and
other evolved wireless technologies into our daily lives, the world
will see the Internet of the future expand ever more quickly.
Driving the progress of communications and connectivity are mobile
and wireless technologies, including traditional WLANs technologies
and low, ultra-power, short and long-range technologies. These
technologies facilitate the communication among the growing number
of connected devices, leading to the generation of huge volumes of
data. Processing and analysis of such "big data" brings about many
opportunities, as well as many challenges, such as those relating
to efficient power consumptions, security, privacy, management, and
quality of service. This book is about the technologies,
opportunities and challenges that can drive and shape the networks
of the future. Written by established international researchers and
experts, Networks of the Future answers fundamental and pressing
research challenges in the field, including architectural shifts,
concepts, mitigation solutions and techniques, and key technologies
in the areas of networking. The book starts with a discussion on
Cognitive Radio (CR) technologies as promising solutions for
improving spectrum utilization, and also highlights the advances in
CR spectrum sensing techniques and resource management methods. The
second part of the book presents the latest developments and
research in the areas of 5G technologies and Software Defined
Networks (SDN). Solutions to the most pressing challenges facing
the adoption of 5G technologies are also covered, and the new
paradigm known as Fog Computing is examined in the context of 5G
networks. The focus next shifts to efficient solutions for future
heterogeneous networks. It consists of a collection of chapters
that discuss self-healing solutions, dealing with Network
Virtualization, QoS in heterogeneous networks, and energy efficient
techniques for Passive Optical Networks and Wireless Sensor
Networks. Finally, the areas of IoT and Big Data are discussed,
including the latest developments and future perspectives of Big
Data and the IoT paradigms.
Internet of Things: Challenges, Advances, and Applications provides
a comprehensive introduction to IoT, related technologies, and
common issues in the adoption of IoT on a large scale. It surveys
recent technological advances and novel solutions for challenges in
the IoT environment. Moreover, it provides detailed discussion of
the utilization of IoT and its underlying technologies in critical
application areas, such as smart grids, healthcare, insurance, and
the automotive industry. The chapters of this book are authored by
several international researchers and industry experts. This book
is composed of 18 self-contained chapters that can be read, based
on interest. Features: Introduces IoT, including its history,
common definitions, underlying technologies, and challenges
Discusses technological advances in IoT and implementation
considerations Proposes novel solutions for common implementation
issues Explores critical application domains, including large-scale
electric power distribution networks, smart water and gas grids,
healthcare and e-Health applications, and the insurance and
automotive industries The book is an excellent reference for
researchers and post-graduate students working in the area of IoT,
or related areas. It also targets IT professionals interested in
gaining deeper knowledge of IoT, its challenges, and application
areas.
