The Ecology of Everyday Things

The Ecology of Everyday Things

Nature is all around us in the beautiful but also in the unappealing and functional and from the awe-inspiring to the mundane. It is vital that we learn to see the agency of the natural world in all things that make our lives possible comfortable and profitable. The Ecology of Everyday Things pulls back the veil of our familiarity on a range of ‘everyday things’ that surround us and which we perhaps take too much for granted. This key into the magic world of the everyday can enable us to take better account of our common natural inheritance. Professor James Longhurst Assistant Vice Chancellor University of the West of England (UWE Bristol) For many people ecosystems may be a remote concept yet we eat drink breathe and interface with them in every moment of our lives. In this engaging textbook ecosystems scientist Dr. Mark Everard considers a diversity of ‘everyday things’ including fascinating facts about their ecological origins: from the tea we drink to the things we wear read and enjoy to the ecology of communities and space flight and the important roles played by germs and ‘unappealing creatures’ such as slugs and wasps. In today’s society we are so umbilically connected to ecosystems that we fail to notice them and this oversight blinds us to the unsustainability of everyday life and the industries and policy environment that supports it. The Ecology of Everyday Things takes the reader on an enlightening fascinating voyage of discovery all the while soundly rooted in robust science. It will stimulate awareness about how connected we all are to the natural world and its processes and how important it is to learn to better treat our environment. Ideal for use in undergraduate- and school-level teaching it will also interest educate engage and enthuse a wide range of less technical audiences.

Heterogenous Computational Intelligence in Internet of Things

Heterogenous Computational Intelligence in Internet of Things

We have seen a sharp increase in the development of data transfer techniques in the networking industry over the past few years. We can see that the photos are assisting clinicians in detecting infection in patients even in the current COVID-19 pandemic condition. With the aid of ML/AI medical imaging such as lung X-rays for COVID-19 infection is crucial in the early detection of many diseases. We also learned that in the COVID-19 scenario both wired and wireless networking are improved for data transfer but have network congestion. An intriguing concept that has the ability to reduce spectrum congestion and continuously offer new network services is providing wireless network virtualization. The degree of virtualization and resource sharing varies between the paradigms. Each paradigm has both technical and non-technical issues that need to be handled before wireless virtualization becomes a common technology. For wireless network virtualization to be successful these issues need careful design and evaluation. Future wireless network architecture must adhere to a number of Quality of Service (QoS) requirements. Virtualization has been extended to wireless networks as well as conventional ones. By enabling multi-tenancy and tailored services with a wider range of carrier frequencies it improves efficiency and utilization. In the IoT environment wireless users are heterogeneous and the network state is dynamic making network control problems extremely difficult to solve as dimensionality and computational complexity keep rising quickly. Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) has been developed by the use of Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) as a potential approach to solve high-dimensional and continuous control issues effectively. Deep Reinforcement Learning techniques provide great potential in IoT edge and SDN scenarios and are used in heterogeneous networks for IoT-based management on the QoS required by each Software Defined Network (SDN) service. While DRL has shown great potential to solve emerging problems in complex wireless network virtualization there are still domain-specific challenges that require further study including the design of adequate DNN architectures with 5G network optimization issues resource discovery and allocation developing intelligent mechanisms that allow the automated and dynamic management of the virtual communications established in the SDNs which is considered as research perspective. | Heterogenous Computational Intelligence in Internet of Things

Swarm Intelligence From Social Bacteria to Humans

Swarm Intelligence From Social Bacteria to Humans

The notion of swarm intelligence was introduced for describing decentralized and self-organized behaviors of groups of animals. Then this idea was extrapolated to design groups of robots which interact locally to cumulate a collective reaction. Some natural examples of swarms are as follows: ant colonies bee colonies fish schooling bird flocking horse herding bacterial colonies multinucleated giant amoebae Physarum polycephalum etc. In all these examples individual agents behave locally with an emergence of their common effect. An intelligent behavior of swarm individuals is explained by the following biological reactions to attractants and repellents. Attractants are biologically active things such as food pieces or sex pheromones which attract individuals of swarm. Repellents are biologically active things such as predators which repel individuals of swarm. As a consequence attractants and repellents stimulate the directed movement of swarms towards and away from the stimulus respectively. It is worth noting that a group of people such as pedestrians follow some swarm patterns of flocking or schooling. For instance humans prefer to avoid a person considered by them as a possible predator and if a substantial part of the group in the situation of escape panic (not less than 5%) changes the direction then the rest follows the new direction too. Some swarm patterns are observed among human beings under the conditions of their addictive behavior such as the behavior of alcoholics or gamers. The methodological framework of studying swarm intelligence is represented by unconventional computing robotics and cognitive science. In this book we aim to analyze new methodologies involved in studying swarm intelligence. We are going to bring together computer scientists and cognitive scientists dealing with swarm patterns from social bacteria to human beings. This book considers different models of simulating controlling and predicting the swarm behavior of different species from social bacteria to humans. | Swarm Intelligence From Social Bacteria to Humans
