This book focuses on the use of The Internet of Things (IoT) and big data in business intelligence, data management, Hadoop, machine learning, cloud, smart cities, etc. IoT and big data emerged from the early 2000s data boom, driven forward by many of the early internet and technology companies. The Internet of Things (IoT) is an interconnection of several devices, networks, technologies, and human resources to achieve a common goal. There are a variety of IoT-based applications being used in different sectors and have succeeded in providing huge benefits to the users. The generation of big data by IoT has ruptured the existing data processing capacity of IoT and recommends to adopt the data analytics to strengthen solutions. The success of IoT depends upon the influential association of big data analytics. New technologies like search engines, mobile devices, and industrial machines provided as much data as companies could handle-and the scale continues to grow. In a study conducted by IDC, the market intelligence firm estimated that the global production of data would grow 10x between 2015 and 2020. So, the proposed book covers up all the aspects in the field discuss above.

This book provides a comprehensive overview of deep learning (DL) in medical and healthcare applications, including the fundamentals and current advances in medical image analysis, state-of-the-art DL methods for medical image analysis and real-world, deep learning-based clinical computer-aided diagnosis systems.Deep learning (DL) is one of the key techniques of artificial intelligence (AI) and today plays an important role in numerous academic and industrial areas. DL involves using a neural network with many layers (deep structure) between input and output, and its main advantage of is that it can automatically learn data-driven, highly representative and hierarchical features and perform feature extraction and classification on one network. DL can be used to model or simulate an intelligent system or process using annotated training data.Recently, DL has become widely used in medical applications, such as anatomic modelling, tumour detection, disease classification, computer-aided diagnosis and surgical planning. This book is intended for computer science and engineering students and researchers, medical professionals and anyone interested using DL techniques.
