Springer Inter-cooperative Collective Intelligence: Techniques and Applications: 495 (Studies in Computational Intelligence, 495)

This book covers the combination of technologies which enables the transformation of everyday objects into smart objects, creating a paradigm that connects the real world with the digital world. Discusses progress made thus far, and emerging innovations. From the Back Cover This book covers the latest advances in the rapid growing field of inter-cooperative collective intelligence aiming the integration and cooperation of various computational resources, networks and intelligent processing paradigms to collectively build intelligence and advanced decision support and interfaces for end-users. The book brings a comprehensive view of the state-of-the-art in the field of integration of sensor networks, IoT and Cloud computing, massive and intelligent querying and processing of data. As a result, the book presents lessons learned so far and identifies new research issues, challenges and opportunities for further research and development agendas. Emerging areas of applications are also identified and usefulness of inter-cooperative collective intelligence is envisaged.   Researchers, software developers, practitioners and students interested in the field of inter-cooperative collective intelligence will find the comprehensive coverage of this book useful for their research, academic, development and practice activity.
