Intelligent Systems
Neural networks and fuzzy logic are two key areas of artificial intelligence that replicate aspects of human cognition. Neural networks are inspired by the brain's structure, consisting of interconnected neurons that process and learn from data. They are capable of supervised, unsupervised, and reinforcement learning, and are used in applications like pattern recognition, optimization, and speech processing. Key models include the perceptron, Hopfield networks, radial basis function networks, and Kohonen's self-organizing maps. Learning mechanisms involve weight adjustments based on input patterns and feedback. Fuzzy logic, on the other hand, deals with reasoning under uncertainty using fuzzy sets, linguistic variables, and membership functions. It contrasts with traditional binary logic by allowing partial truth values. Fuzzy systems use inference rules and defuzzification techniques to make decisions and are widely applied in control systems such as anti-lock braking systems (ABS) and industrial automation. Both paradigms are also being implemented in hardware, including VLSI, for faster and more efficient processing.
Energy and Throughput Optimization in NB-IoT Networks
This book focuses on enhancing energy efficiency and network throughput in Narrowband IoT (NB-IoT) and Narrowband Cognitive Radio IoT (NB-CR-IoT) networks. A three-hop assignment using a double auction model is proposed to extend the battery life of cell-edge NB-IoT users (CENUs), supported by the EENU-MWM algorithm for efficient user matching. As IoT device usage grows, challenges such as spectrum congestion and limited hardware for continuous sensing arise. To address this, optimal sensing parameters and relay nodes are introduced in NB-CR-IoT and NB-CR-IoMT networks, improving throughput and reducing transmission power. In healthcare, real-time patient monitoring using IoT devices demands efficient spectrum usage and energy harvesting. A grouping-based design allows energy collection based on proximity to access points, enhancing performance in networks like Wireless Body Area Networks. Devices transmit data when the spectrum is unoccupied by primary users, maximizing energy use and lifespan while minimizing interference. This comprehensive approach ensures sustainable and scalable IoT communication across various sectors.

Cyber Warfare
China's INEW doctrine combining network attack with electronic warfare supports the use of cyber warfare in future conflict. The IW militia unit organization provides each Chinese military region commander with unique network attack, exploitation, and defense capabilities. IW unit training focuses on improving network attack skills during military exercises. The integration of the IW militia units with commercial technology companies provides infrastructure and technical support enabling the units to conduct operations. The IW units gather intelligence on an adversary's networks identifying critical nodes and security weaknesses. Armed with this intelligence, these units are capable of conducting network attack to disrupt or destroy the identified critical nodes of an enemy's C4ISR assets allowing China to use military force in a local war. In an effort to regain its former status, China pursues the strategic goal of reunification of its claimed sovereign territories and lands using economic influence as the primary means but will resort to military force if necessary. Recent cyber activities attributed to China suggest that network exploitation is currently underway and providing military, political, and economic information to the CCP. Domestically and internationally, China views Taiwan and the United States respectively as the major threats to the CCP.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Llmops
Here's the thing about large language models: they don't play by the old rules. Traditional MLOps completely falls apart when you're dealing with GenAI. The model hallucinates, security assumptions crumble, monitoring breaks, and agents can't operate. Suddenly you're in uncharted territory. That's exactly why LLMOps has emerged as its own discipline. LLMOps: Managing Large Language Models in Production is your guide to actually running these systems when real users and real money are on the line. This book isn't about building cool demos. It's about keeping LLM systems running smoothly in the real world. Navigate the new roles and processes that LLM operations require Monitor LLM performance when traditional metrics don't tell the whole story Set up evaluations, governance, and security audits that actually matter for GenAI Wrangle the operational mess of agents, RAG systems, and evolving prompts Scale infrastructure without burning through your compute budget
