Artificial Intelligence for Cloud and Edge Computing

This book discusses the future possibilities of AI with cloud computing and edge computing. The main goal of this book is to conduct analyses, implementation and discussion of many tools (of artificial intelligence, machine learning and deep learning and cloud computing, fog computing, and edge computing including concepts of cyber security) for understanding integration of these technologies. With this book, readers can quickly get an overview of these emerging topics and get many ideas of the future of AI with cloud, edge, and in many other areas. Topics include machine and deep learning techniques for Internet of Things based cloud systems; security, privacy and trust issues in AI based cloud and IoT based cloud systems; AI for smart data storage in cloud-based IoT; blockchain based solutions for AI based cloud and IoT based cloud systems.This book is relevent to researchers, academics, students, and professionals.
