This books main concern is all about “The essence of life and our purpose in it.” This types of questions that lurk in the back of many of our minds. When these questions arise, we can either develop our thoughts, or we can ignore the question all together. Questioning life and our meaning in it is what develops our mode of consciousness, or in other words, our self awareness, which then impacts our actions. Someone with a developed answer or an idea of the essence of life will have a good understanding of themselves and their duties on Earth. Although, someone who ignores the question, will become not much of a human at all, but more a thoughtless and purposeless group of living cells. ...
We are living in a world full of innovations for the elderly and people with special needs to use smart assistive technologies and smart homes to more easily perform activities of daily living, to continue in social participation, to engage in entertainment and leisure activities, and to enjoy living independently. These innovations are inspired by new technologies leveraging all aspects of ambient and pervasive intel- gence with related theories, technologies, methods, applications, and services on ub- uitous, pervasive, AmI, universal, mobile, embedded, wearable, augmented, invisible, hidden, context-aware, calm, amorphous, sentient, proactive, post–PC, everyday, autonomic computing from...

The recent advancement of industrial computerization has significantly helped in resolving the challenges with conventional industrial systems. The Industry 4.0 quality standards demand smart and intelligent solutions to revolutionize industrial applications. The integration of machine intelligence and internet of things (IoT) technologies can further devise innovative solutions to recent industrial application issues. Empowering Sustainable Industrial 4.0 Systems With Machine Intelligence assesses the challenges, limitations, and potential solutions for creating more sustainable and agile industrial systems. This publication presents recent intelligent systems for a wide range of industrial applications and smart safety measures toward industrial systems. Covering topics such as geospatial technologies, remote sensing, and temporal analysis, this book is a dynamic resource for health professionals, pharmaceutical professionals, manufacturing professionals, policymakers, engineers, computer scientists, researchers, instructors, students, and academicians.
This book presents practical as well as conceptual insights into the latest trends, tools, techniques and methodologies of blockchains for the Internet of Things. The decentralised Internet of Things (IoT) not only reduces infrastructure costs, but also provides a standardised peer-to-peer communication model for billions of transactions. However, there are significant security challenges associated with peer-to-peer communication. The decentralised concept of blockchain technology ensures transparent interactions between different parties, which are more secure and reliable thanks to distributed ledger and proof-of-work consensus algorithms. Blockchains allow trustless, peer-to-peer communi...
This proceedings book covers the theory, design and applications of computer networks, distributed computing and information systems. Today’s networks are evolving rapidly, and there are several developing areas and applications. These include heterogeneous networking supported by recent technological advances in power wireless communications, along with silicon integration of various functionalities such as sensing, communications, intelligence and actuations, which is emerging as a critically important disruptive computer class based on a new platform, networking structure and interface that enables novel, low-cost and high-volume applications. However, implemeting these applications has...
Cloud computing is the on-demand availability of computer system resources, especially data storage and computing power, without direct active management by the user. This book explores algorithms, protocols, and system design principles of key smart technologies including cloud computing and the internet of things. • Discusses the system design principles in cloud computing along with artificial intelligence, machine learning, and data analytics applications • Presents blockchain-based solutions, cyber-physical system applications, and deep learning approaches to solving practical problems • Highlights important concepts including the cloud of things architecture, cloud service manage...
Imam Baqir (as) said "Since the death of the Holy Prophet (s) we Ahl ul bayt have been humiliated, made distant and have been deprived and killed and made to leave our home town and we felt frightened for our blood and the blood of our followers. The cheaters, through their lies, got nearer to the leaders, judges and governors in every city and our enemies told false and invalid traditions relating to their past leaders and quoted narrations that we had never told. They only wanted to humiliate us and wanted to accuse us of falsehood, and wanted to get nearer to their leaders through lies. After the passing away of Hassan (a.s) this became very common during the time of Muawiyah. At that time, in every city, Shias were killed, their hands and feet were cut off and they were hanged on accusations of their being near to us and talking about their love for us."
Intelligent Environments (IEs) aim to empower users by enriching their experience, raising their awareness and enhancing their management of their surroundings. The term IE is used to describe the physical spaces where ICT and pervasive technologies are used to achieve specific objectives for the user and/or the environment. The growing IE community, from academia to practitioners, is working on the materialization of IEs driven by the latest technological developments and innovative ideas. This book presents the proceedings of the workshops held in conjunction with the 15th International Conference on Intelligent Environments (IE’19), Rabat, Morocco, 24 – 27 June 2019. The conference fo...
