> The Internet of Things (IoT) paradigm has been introduced to 
> characterize smart objects that can communicate and exchange 
> information via the existing Web infrastructure, as well as future 5G 
> mobile networking architectures. Cloud-based IoT mechanisms are 
> utilized to enable the interconnection of a variety of smart objects, 
> such as, cars, cell phones and sensors inside smart cities, smart 
> businesses and smart home environments. IoT based objects produce a 
> vast volume of information frequently called as Big Data, which cannot 
> be easily processed by traditional algorithms and schemes. However, 
> future smart environments will enable efficient handling and 
> processing of Big Data that is generated by the associated objects for 
> an effective communication and co-operation among them. In any case, 
> there is profoundly helpful data and many values in trying to analyze, 
> as well as process it. IoT-based objects have an increased 
> consideration from researchers in several scientific fields and 
> disciplines.
>
> In addition, Artificial Intelligence (AI) will play a crucial role in 
> such environments, enabling for smarter services, applications, 
> business processes and social interaction among the IoT objects. In 
> this respect, a great potential exists for advanced technological 
> solutions combined with AI and IoT-enabled capabilities. AI mechanisms 
> applied in IoT environments can be exploited in smart homes to analyze 
> human actions via motion or facial recognition sensors. AI will play a 
> significant role in future IoT applications and infrastructures, by 
> providing insights from collected data. This capability will enable 
> the identification of patterns and will allow operational predictions 
> with higher accuracy in small time periods. AI applications for smart 
> devices will also enable businesses to develop new products, reduce 
> possible risks and increase efficiency during the production time, by 
> predicting failures that are usually non-detectable by humans or 
> simple devices.
>
> The future of the implementation of AI-powered IoT infrastructures 
> depends on the effective solutions to a number of technical challenges 
> that such paradigms introduce. These challenges include intelligent 
> sensor capabilities improvement, smart Big Data analytics, automated 
> remote data management, as well as open and secure composition of 
> processes, which may be implemented into emerging AI-enabled IoT 
> scenarios. Some initiatives try to incorporate Artificial Intelligence 
> schemes in IoT environments, but new frameworks have to be defined. In 
> fact, the approach of IoT is to find the potential benefits of AI, in 
> order to build extensive ecosystems, for increasing the number of 
> automated services and their value. In this respect, this book aims to 
> gather recent research works in emerging Artificial Intelligence 
> methods for processing and storing the data generated from cloud-based 
> Internet of Things infrastructures. The major subjects of the proposed 
> book will cover the analysis and the development of AI-powered 
> mechanisms in future IoT applications and architectures.
