Artificial Intelligence for the Internet of Everything considers
the foundations, metrics and applications of IoE systems. It covers
whether devices and IoE systems should speak only to each other, to
humans or to both. Further, the book explores how IoE systems
affect targeted audiences (researchers, machines, robots, users)
and society, as well as future ecosystems. It examines the meaning,
value and effect that IoT has had and may have on ordinary life, in
business, on the battlefield, and with the rise of intelligent and
autonomous systems. Based on an artificial intelligence (AI)
perspective, this book addresses how IoE affects sensing,
perception, cognition and behavior. Each chapter addresses
practical, measurement, theoretical and research questions about
how these "things" may affect individuals, teams, society or each
other. Of particular focus is what may happen when these "things"
begin to reason, communicate and act autonomously on their own,
whether independently or interdependently with other "things".

A pregnant Chilean boy finds an unlikely path from village scorn to
life as a brilliant astronomer. His love for Beverly, a young
surgeon from Tucson, Arizona, becomes more radiant and enlightening
than the vastness of space.
Set on the rocky and at times unforgiving coast of Maine, Stephen
Russell Payne's emotionally powerful debut novel, Cliff Walking,
shares a poignant tale of loss and love that weaves together the
lives of three desperate people who struggle mightily to find a way
to save each other. Kate Johnson is a recovering addict from
California, married to a cunning, cruel man named Leland Johnson.
When she gathers the strength to escape her hellish life, she
leaves with her bright, artistic twelve-year-old son, Stringer,
crossing Canada as stowaways on a freight train. They eventually
find their way to Winter's Cove, a provincial town on the coast of
Maine. Francis Monroe is a famous Maine seascape artist whose wife
died windsurfing on the bay in front of their bungalow the year
before, after losing her battle with breast cancer. Emotionally
paralyzed since her death, Francis has been haunted both by her
loss and his subsequent inability to paint. When Stringer appears
at Francis's bungalow, the meeting triggers events that
dramatically alter the course of their lives. Thrust into a
life-threatening altercation, Stringer is forced to take action,
and ends up facing felony charges. As Stringer and his loved ones
do battle with the local sheriff and the politically aspiring
state's attorney, the citizens of Winter's Cove have to navigate
their own deep-seated prejudices, their beliefs about family and
community, and the painful necessity to reexamine justice in their
town. An intimate, probing novel that mines the healing power of
hope that can grow out of shared desperation, Cliff Walking is a
captivating love story that carries readers on an intense,
thought-provoking journey. Both fast-paced and complex, this novel
is nearly impossible to put down.
