This book focuses on the use of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (AI/ML) based techniques to solve issues related to communication networks, their layers, as well as their applications. The book first offers an introduction to recent trends regarding communication networks. The authors then provide an overview of theoretical concepts of AI/ML, techniques and protocols used in different layers of communication. Furthermore, this book presents solutions that help analyze complex patterns in user data and ultimately improve productivity. Throughout, AI/ML-based solutions are provided, for topics such as signal detection, channel modeling, resource optimization, routing protocol design, transport layer optimization, user/application behavior prediction, software-defined networking, congestion control, communication network optimization, security, and anomaly detection. The book features chapters from a large spectrum of authors including researchers, students, as well as industrials involved in research and development.

Annotation The general aim of the conference is to promote international collaboration in Education and Research in all fields and disciplines of engineering ICCIC will be an International Forum for those who wish to present their projects and innovations, having also the opportunity to discuss the main aspects and the latest results in the field of Education and Research The key fields of focus of the conference are not limited, but note worthy to mention the following Computational Intelligence, Computer Vision, Image Processing, Signal Processing, Intelligent Internet modeling and Communication Systems.

There are a number of books on computational intelligence (CI), but they tend to cover a broad range of CI paradigms and algorithms rather than provide an in-depth exploration in learning and adaptive mechanisms. This book sets its focus on CI based architectures, modeling, case studies and applications in big data analytics, and business intelligence. The intended audiences of this book are scientists, professionals, researchers, and academicians who deal with the new challenges and advances in the specific areas mentioned above. Designers and developers of applications in these areas can learn from other experts and colleagues through this book.
