Internet of Things (IoT) paradigm has been introduced to
characterize smart objects that can communicate and
exchange information via the existing Web infrastructure,
as well as future 5G mobile networking architectures.
Cloud-based IoT mechanisms are utilized to enable the
interconnection of a variety of smart objects, such as,
cars, cell phones and sensors inside smart cities, smart
businesses and smart home environments. IoT based objects
produce a vast volume of information frequently called as
Big Data, which cannot be easily processed by traditional
algorithms and schemes. However, future smart environments
will enable efficient handling and processing of Big Data
that is generated by the associated objects for an
effective communication and co-operation among them. In
any case, there is profoundly helpful data and many values
in trying to analyze, as well as process it. IoT-based
objects have an increased consideration from researchers
in several scientific fields and disciplines.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"
style="text-align:justify;text-justify:inter-ideograph"><span
style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">In
addition, Artificial Intelligence (AI) will play a crucial
role in such environments, enabling for smarter services,
applications, business processes and social interaction
among the IoT objects. In this respect, a great potential
exists for advanced technological solutions combined with
AI and IoT-enabled capabilities. AI mechanisms applied in
IoT environments can be exploited in smart homes to
analyze human actions via motion or facial recognition
sensors. AI will play a significant role in future IoT
applications and infrastructures, by providing insights
from collected data. This capability will enable the
identification of patterns and will allow operational
predictions with higher accuracy in small time periods. AI
applications for smart devices will also enable businesses
to develop new products, reduce possible risks and
increase efficiency during the production time, by
predicting failures that are usually non-detectable by
humans or simple devices.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"
style="text-align:justify;text-justify:inter-ideograph"><span
style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">The
future of the implementation of AI-powered IoT
infrastructures depends on the effective solutions to a
number of technical challenges that such paradigms
introduce. These challenges include intelligent sensor
capabilities improvement, smart Big Data analytics,
automated remote data management, as well as open and
secure composition of processes, which may be implemented
into emerging AI-enabled IoT scenarios. Some initiatives
try to incorporate Artificial Intelligence schemes in IoT
environments, but new frameworks have to be defined. In
fact, the approach of IoT is to find the potential
benefits of AI, in order to build extensive ecosystems,
for increasing the number of automated services and their
value. In this respect, this book aims to gather recent
research works in emerging Artificial Intelligence methods
for processing and storing the data generated from
cloud-based Internet of Things infrastructures. The major
subjects of the proposed book will cover the analysis and
the development of AI-powered mechanisms in future IoT
applications and architectures.</span></p>
