The increasing use of intelligent and database systems in various fields, such as industry, medicine and science places those two elements of computer science among the most important directions of research and application, which currently focuses on such key technologies as machine learning, cloud computing and processing of big data. It is estimated that further development of intelligent systems and the ability to gather, store and process enormous amounts of data will be needed to solve a number of crucial practical and theoretical problems.

The book is divided into five parts: (a) Sensor Clouds andInternet of Things, (b) Machine Learning and Decision Support Systems, (c) Computer Vision Techniques and Applications, (d) Intelligent Systems in Biomedicine, and (e) Applications of Intelligent Information Systems.
