Scope: The rapid growth of technology and new smart city development initiatives has made computing and communication an inevitable platform for all engineering domains. The need for a sophisticated ambient environment has resulted in the exponential growth of automation, robustness and artificial intelligence. Therefore, it is very important to address computing and communication issues in such environments in order to achieve better performance.

Edge computing has become an active research field supporting low processing power, real-time response time, and more resource capacity than IoT and mobile devices. It has also been considered to effectively mitigate loads on data centers, to assist artificial intelligence (AI) services, and to increase 5G services. Edge computing applications along with the IoT field are essential technical directions in order to open the door to new opportunities enabling smart homes, smart hospitals, smart cities, smart vehicles, smart wearables, smart supply chain, e-health, automation, and a variety of other smart environments.
However, any developments are made more challenging because the involvement of multi-domain technology creates new problems for researchers. Therefore, in order to help meet the challenge, this book series concentrates on next generation computing and communication methodologies involving smart and ambient environment design. It is an effective publishing platform for monographs, handbooks, and edited volumes on Industry 4.0, agriculture, smart city development, new computing and communication paradigms. Although the series mainly focuses on design, it also addresses analytics and investigation of industry-related real-time problems.

The main focus of the series includes but is not limited to the following research areas: Industry 4.0, Artificial Intelligence, Machine and Deep learning, Data science, Cognitive Engineering, Cognitive Analytics, CUDA system design, Cyber-physical systems, Quantum Machine Learning, Smart cities, Smart factory, Smart machining, Smart cutting tools, Sensors and Actuators, 5G and wireless technologies for industrial applications, prognostics and alert system. Additional areas of interest include Intelligent manufacturing, Smart healthcare and Transportation systems, Digital Twins, Rapid Prototyping and Manufacturing system, Low Energy Embedded system, Edge and Fog computing, Algorithm design, the Internet of Things and Cyber forensics, Cryptocurrency, Bitcoin and Blockchain Technology, Communication Protocol Design, Intelligent System design and Crowd Sensing, Smart Grid, Soft computing solutions, Microwave Antennas, Atmospheric & Ionospheric research, UAV and ROV monitoring, Signal Processing, System-on-chip and Embedded Design concepts.
