Smart communications are the concept in which smart appliances and devices are integrated into an application that runs in a smart hand-held device. The residents of a smart home can have complete control over their home’s electronic gadgets using wireless communications. These technologies can help people control gadgets in the home/office remotely and often simultaneously, which increases convenience and reduces time spent on these tasks. However, problems can arise in the security systems associated with these smart devices; security may be compromised when there are loopholes or human mistakes. When security credentials are lost, overall security can also be lost. This is because smart technology is made up of plenty of devices that are integrated with Internet of Things (IoT) technology and the cloud. This environment can introduce many security issues, as discussed in this text. Blockchain is a promising technology that operates in a decentralized environment to protect devices and the data collected by devices from security and privacy issues by using wireless communication technology. Blockchain-enabled IoT can be used to achieve end-to-end security. Blockchain technology is already used in wireless sensor/communication networks to estimate and predict house data and civil structures.

This unique compendium highlights the theory of computation, particularly logic and automata theory. Special emphasis is on Computer Science (CS) applications including loop invariants, program correctness, logic programming and algorithmic proof techniques. This innovative volume differs from standard textbooks, by building on concepts in a different order, using fewer theorems with simpler proofs. It has added many new examples, problems and answers. It can be used as an undergraduate text at most universities. The models in this book are simplifications too, but not of material objects like airplanes. For computer scientists, the objects of study lie mainly in the world of symbols. In this book, it will be computer software and especially the programming languages in which that software is written from which we draw our models and to which we apply them. We have chosen to focus on language, the crucial link between hardware and software. Programming languages permit software to be written and language processors - compilers, interpreters and assemblers - permit hardware to run that software. Sometimes a model proves to be so interesting and widely applicable that it becomes an object of study in its own right. That is the case with the logic and language models in this book.

Most of the five species of terns breeding in Britain and Ireland today are under intensive management, involving protection from predators, human interference, egg-collecting, recreational activities, land-use changes, and a range of issues concerning climate change, including rising sea levels and flooding of low-lying colonies.
