The concept of a “smart city” is used widely in general; however, it is hard to explain because of the complexity and multidimensionality of this notion. However, the essential qualification for being a smart city is to achieve “sustainable social, environmental, and economic development” and boost the living standards of society based on Information and Communication Technology (ICT) and Artificial intelligence (AI). AI in smart cities has become an important aspect for cities that face great challenges to make smart decisions for social well-being, particularly cybersecurity and corporate sustainability.

Confidential computing is a cloud computing technology that isolates sensitive data during processing in a protected CPU enclave. The contents of the enclave—the data being processed and the techniques used to process it—are visible and unknown to anyone or anything else, including the cloud provider. As business leaders increasingly rely on public and hybrid cloud services, data privacy in the cloud is critical. The book consists of 22 chapters, arranged on the basis of their approaches and contributions to the book and theme. The chapters of this textbook present key algorithms and theories that form the core of the technologies and applications concerned, consisting mainly of secure enclave technologies, adopting cloud computing, rise of confidential computing, confidentiality of data, components of a confidential computing architecture, confidential computing matters, IBM Cloud Data Shield vs. Microsoft Azure Confidential Computing, isolating the software and data from the underlying infrastructure, hardware-level encryption, public clouds, secure and private analytics, blockchain, paradigm shift for data security in the cloud, benefits of confidential computing.

Innovative techniques and methods for secure, flexible and profitable cloud manufacturing will be gathered to present advanced and specialized research in the selected area. Big Data, IoT, and the Cloud are digital technologies that help in improving the analytics and decision-making processes. Market leaders all around the world use the symbiotic link between IoT, Big Data, and Cloud computing to profit from innovation and achieve a competitive edge. We now have more gadgets connected to one other through the Internet than ever before, as connectivity becomes more important in our daily working and social life. For systems and communication inside organizations to be simpler, digital transition and the requirement for multiple devices get connected for easier exchange of data. The data supplied by Internet-connected devices is gathered for analysis, and patterns and trends are discovered as a result of this data collection process. The Internet of Things (IoT) is another paradigm that plays a major role in this digital world. Through different sensors, it observes the environment and generates a large quantity of data, which is commonly referred to as Big Data.

Microgrids use ICT to intelligently deliver energy and integrate clean generation. They can operate independently from a larger grid and can help to strengthen grid resilience. Applications include remote as well as urban areas, hospitals, and manufacturing complexes. Cybersecurity challenges arise, exposing the microgrids to cyber-attacks, possibly resulting in harm to infrastructure and to people. Research has classified attacks based on confidentiality, integrity, and availability, and most countermeasures focus on specific attacks or on protecting specific components. A global approach is needed combining solutions that can secure the entire system and respond in milliseconds.

As enterprise access networks evolve with a larger number of mobile users, a wide range of devices and new cloud-based applications, managing user performance on an end-to-end basis has become rather challenging. Recent advances in big data network analytics combined with AI and cloud computing are being leveraged to tackle this growing problem. AI is becoming further integrated with software that manage networks, storage, and can compute. This edited book focuses on how new network analytics, IoTs and Cloud Computing platforms are being used to ingest, analyse and correlate a myriad of big data across the entire network stack in order to increase quality of service and quality of experience (QoS/QoE) and to improve network performance. From big data and AI analytical techniques for handling the huge amount of data generated by IoT devices, the authors cover cloud storage optimization, the design of next generation access protocols and internet architecture, fault tolerance and reliability in intelligent networks, and discuss a range of emerging applications.

This book examines whether the integration of edge intelligence (EI) and blockchain (BC) can open up new horizons for providing ubiquitous intelligent services. Accordingly, the authors conduct a summarization of the recent research efforts on the existing works for EI and BC, further painting a comprehensive picture of the limitation of EI and why BC could benefit EI. To examine how to integrate EI and BC, the authors discuss the BC-driven EI and tailoring BC to EI, including an overview, motivations, and integrated frameworks. Finally, some challenges and future directions are explored. The book explores the technologies associated with the integrated system between EI and BC, and further bridges the gap between immature BC and EI-amicable BC. There are a lot of definitions of EI. In general, EI is derived from the combination of EC and AI, which could be explained in two dimensions that are AI in Edge and AI for Edge.

This book describes solutions to the problems of energy efficiency, resiliency and cyber security in the domain of Edge Computing and reports on early deployments of the technology in commercial settings. This book takes a business focused view, relating the technological outcomes to new business opportunities made possible by the edge paradigm. Drawing on the experience of end user deploying prototype edge technology, the authors discuss applications in financial management, wireless management, and social networks. Given the relative geographical remoteness of the traditional cloud data centre in the IoT environment, the seemingly obvious first step is to try to move the computing closer to the data source in order to overcome issues of latency. This is known as edge computing, meaning that significant amounts of processing, but not necessarily all of it, take place close to where the data is collected. Edge computing is in essence a model or a concept.
