It is also essential to study the success of technology use in some of the advanced nations in the Asian region that promote a smarter and well-advanced community. A smarter community in these regions can only be materialized by adopting the latest trends in technology to improve quality of life. Some of these regions need a great emphasis on technology adoption for women empowerment and safety, promoting better health with telemedicine facilities, environment, and disaster prevention with IoT technologies, water treatment and sanitation, and addressing food scarcity issues with smarter precision agriculture. Ultimately, there needs to be more research focused on a smarter and secured community in the Asian region in terms of cultural and socioeconomic factors and technology advancements. ICT Solutions for Improving Smart Communities in Asia explores new possibilities using digital solutions and technologies to create collaborative and smarter communities for advancement in agriculture, the health sector, education centers, human resources, and administrative domains, as well as other areas to improve the overall living standards of people at the community level. This book will cover two main areas: the need for technology development in developing nations, mainly focusing on Asia, and the adoption of some of the advanced regions in Asia as role models for the less developed SAARC regions explicitly. This book is ideally intended for researchers, academicians, IT specialists, regional developers, government officials, practitioners, academicians, and students.

In the era of Industry 4.0, the world is increasingly becoming smarter as everything from mobile phones to cars to TVs connects with unique addresses and communication mechanisms. However, in order to enable the smart world to be sustainable, ICT must embark into energy efficient paradigms. Green ICT is a moving factor contributing towards energy efficiency by reducing energy utilization through software or hardware procedures. Role of IoT in Green Energy Systems presents updated research trends in green technology and the latest product and application developments towards green energy. Covering topics that include energy conservation and harvesting, renewable energy, and green and underwater internet of things, this essential reference book creates further awareness of smart energy and critically examines the contributions of ICT towards green technologies. IT specialists, researchers, academicians, and students in the area of energy harvesting and energy management, and/or those working towards green energy technologies, wireless sensor networks, and smart applications will find this monograph beneficial in their studies.

The digital divide, caused by several factors such as poverty and slow communication technologies, has offset the progression of many developing countries. However, with rapid changes in technology, a better collaboration among communities and governance based on the latest research in ICT and technology has begun to emerge. Employing Recent Technologies for Improved Digital Governance is an essential reference source that provides research on recent advances in the development, application, and impact of technologies for the initiative of digital governance. The book has a dual objective with the first objective being to encourage more research in deploying recent trends in the internet for deploying a collaborative digital governance. The second objective is to explore new possibilities using internet of things (IoT) and cloud/fog-based solutions for creating a collaboration between the governance and IT infrastructure. Featuring research on topics such as intelligent systems, social engineering, and cybersecurity, this book is ideally designed for policymakers, government officials, ICT specialists, researchers, academicians, industry professionals, and students.

With the help of artificial intelligence, machine learning, and big data analytics, the internet of things (IoT) is creating partnerships within industry where machines, processes, and humans communicate with one another. As this radically changes traditional industrial operations, this results in the rapid design, cheap manufacture, and effective customization of products. Answering the growing demand of customers and their preferences has become a challenge for such partnerships. Industrial Internet of Things and Cyber-Physical Systems: Transforming the Conventional to Digital is a collection of innovative research that discusses development, implementation, and business impacts of IoT technologies on sustainable societal development and improved life quality. Highlighting a wide range of topics such as green technologies, wireless networks, and IoT policy, this book is ideally designed for technology developers, entrepreneurs, industrialists, programmers, engineers, technicians, researchers, academicians, and students.

The need for sustainable sources of energy has become more prevalent in an effort to conserve natural resources, as well as optimize the performance of wireless networks in daily life. Renewable sources of energy also help to cut costs while still providing a reliable power sources. Biologically-Inspired Energy Harvesting through Wireless Sensor Technologies highlights emerging research in the areas of sustainable energy management and transmission technologies. Featuring technological advancements in green technology, energy harvesting, sustainability, networking, and autonomic computing, as well as bio-inspired algorithms and solutions utilized in energy management, this publication is an essential reference source for researchers, academicians, and students interested in renewable or sustained energy in wireless networks.
