This book features research papers presented at the 5th International Conference on Intelligent Sustainable Systems (ICISS 2022), held at SCAD College of Engineering and Technology, Tirunelveli, Tamil Nadu, India, during February 17–18, 2022. The book discusses latest research works that discusses the tools, methodologies, practices, and applications of sustainable systems and computational intelligence methodologies. The book is beneficial for readers from both academia and industry.

With the fast development of the Internet, we are experiencing a shift from the traditional sharing of information and applications as the main purpose of the Web to an emergent paradigm, which locates people at the very center of networks and exploits the value of people's connections, relations, and collaboration. Social networks are also playing a major role in the dynamics and structure of intelligent Web-based networking and collaborative systems.

Virtual campuses, virtual communities, and organizations strongly leverage intelligent networking and...

This book presents the applications of future technologies to overcome the toughest humanitarian challenges from an engineering approach. COVID-19, a worldwide pandemic, has limited many physical operational areas and at the same time has motivated to uplift the initiative to digitalize the world. Society is facing ever more intense and protracted humanitarian crises, and as a result, the global community is pressed to find new ways to help people and communities in need. This interdisciplinary book highlights the exchange of relevant trends and research results as well as the presentation...

The book aims to face the challenge of post-COVID-19 dynamics toward green and digital transition, between metropolitan and return to villages’ perspectives. It presents a multi-disciplinary scientific debate on the new frontiers of strategic and spatial planning, economic programs and decision support tools, within the urban–rural areas networks and the metropolitan cities.

The book focuses on six topics: inner and marginalized areas local development to re-balance territorial inequalities; knowledge and innovation ecosystem for urban regeneration and...

In this collection, the reader can find recent advancements in self-organizing maps (SOMs) and learning vector quantization (LVQ), including progressive ideas on exploiting features of parallel computing. The collection is balanced in presenting novel theoretical contributions with applied results in traditional fields of SOMs, such as visualization problems and data analysis. Besides, the collection further includes less traditional deployments in trajectory clustering and recent results on exploiting quantum computation. The presented book is worth interest to data analysis and machine...

This book presents the latest research on Ambient Intelligence (AmI) including software and applications in different areas such as Internet of Things, Multi-Agent Systems or e-Learning, among others. AmI is a paradigm emerging from Artificial Intelligence, in which computers are used as proactive tools for assisting people with their day-to-day activities, making everyone’s lives more comfortable. Another main concern of AmI originates from the human–computer interaction domain and focuses on offering ways to interact with systems in a more natural way by means of user-friendly...
