We are living in an AI and data-driven era. A huge volume of data is generated from all sectors including smart cities, intelligent transportation systems, smart healthcare, education, smart agriculture and smart industrial processes. This information comprises multiple modalities such as textual data, images, sound, gestures and genetic sequences, which are generated through various sources. The internet of multimedia things (IoMT) is one of the key contributors to the collection, analysis and management of voluminous multimodal data. The dominating features of IoMTs are well-timed delivery of data and dependability, but they require high levels of memory and computational power, which requires higher bandwidth and more power. Therefore, they require rigorous quality of service (QoS) and efficient, reliable and secure network frameworks. The objective of this book is to explore machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) techniques for securing data with multiple modalities in a wide range of data-centric smart applications in the IoMT framework. In all data-centric application domains where on-time availability of data and reliability are the major concerns, IoMT is contributing significantly. The authors present the challenges faced to organize and process multimodal data in data-centric applications, several types of data modalities, and innovative IoMT frameworks. A particular focus is placed on the role of ML and DL techniques in securing multi-modal data for real-time monitoring in smart environment applications. Machine Learning and Deep Learning Driven Techniques for Multimodal Data Security in the Internet of Multimedia Things caters to the needs of AI, big data and IoT advanced students, academic and industry researchers, engineers, security experts, data analysts, and AI and data-centric application developers.

Biochemical Approaches for Waste and Biomass Valorization for Fuels and Chemicals brings together the latest advances in biochemical conversion technologies, practical insights for industrial applications, and a critical assessment of process parameters. The book begins by introducing biomass and waste valorization, characterization methods, biomass availability and collection, and biorefineries, before detailed chapters focus on advanced pre-treatment technologies, fermentation, anaerobic digestion and dark fermentation, lignin valorization, and other emerging techniques. The final chapters address process integration, techno-economic analysis, and policy frameworks, as well as case studies and business models for real-world applications. This latest volume in the Woodhead Series in Bioenergy is of interest to all those working in the field of waste and biomass valorization, biochemical conversion routes and biofuels, including researchers, faculty, advanced students, scientists, engineers, industrial practitioners, and policy makers.

Organizational Resilience & Artificial Intelligence is your essential companion for steering any enterprise through today’s turbulent landscape. Drawing from real-world crises—including global supply chain shocks, natural disasters, and cyber threats—this book demystifies organizational resilience and arms you with proven frameworks, tools, and strategies needed to thrive when adversity strikes. Discover why resilience goes far beyond risk management, introducing a holistic approach that integrates proactive planning, adaptive leadership, robust communication, and a culture of learning and innovation. Through vivid case studies—such as manufacturers recovering after floods and companies maintaining operations in a pandemic—you’ll see the pivotal role business resilience plays not only in sustaining critical services, but also in supporting communities and sustaining long-term stakeholder trust. Inside, you’ll learn to: Identify and assess vulnerabilities across operations, supply chains, and technologies Strengthen situational awareness to anticipate and manage emerging risks Develop business continuity plans and adaptive processes that ensure readiness for both foreseeable and “black swan” events Foster cross-functional collaboration and stakeholder engagement Build a culture of agility, innovation, and continuous improvement Measure, test, and enhance resilience with actionable checklists and guidelines Whether you’re a top executive, Risk or BC professional, or an emerging leader, this guide offers a practical, research-backed roadmap to embedding resilience into every layer of your organization. The future belongs to those who are prepared—start building your organization’s resilience today, and ensure you can not only weather disruption, but emerge stronger than ever before.
