This book gives a complete overview of cloud computing, its importance, its trends, innovations, and its amalgamation with other technologies. It provides content for reference. Cloud computing practice using a network of remote server hosted on the Internet to store, manage, and process data, while AI has to struggle to gain footholds in other niches, it is finding its place in the world of cloud computing. The revolution is that it could rapidly change the face of businesses using cloud computing solutions over the next few years. The three areas of cloud computing AI that have taken long strides are parallel processing, ML and ML algorithm, and big data. This convergence also allowed IoT application to leverage the benefits of the cloud challenges’ conflicting properties. In integration of cloud computing with mobile or mobile cloud computing, the brain of services in the cloud are easier to share content and assets are easier to maintain the data and are more immune to crashes and deletion. The book aims to include different case studies or real-life scenario, where this integration of cloud and other technologies has made the huge difference. This book, Integration of Cloud Computing with Emerging Technologies: Issues, Challenges, and Practices, includes a chapter on technological advancement of cloud computing, its trends, and ongoing status of each as per perception of the contributors to help in its easier adoption in the areas where it is yet to be implemented.

The dramatic search for spices through history, and how the pursuit of rare flavors changed and opened up our world. Spices have been highly valued since at least the Bronze Age, with the so-called Spice Trade, spanning Asia to the Mediterranean, developing from the late centuries BC. By the first century AD, Roman society spent vast sums fueling their demand for spices, importing black pepper from India and other exotics from further afield. Importing spices from the east was a daunting and dangerous task, whether by ship across the Indian Ocean, a perilous round journey of many months, or by caravan overland along the myriad routings of the Silk Road, or other trade routes. The search for spices in the 15th and 16th centuries led to Columbus' discovery of America (and the discovery of chili in Cuba and Hispaniola); Vasco da Gama's proving of the route to India around the coast of Africa; and Magellan's discovery of the western route to the Spice Islands.

Since its first appearance, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been ensuring revolutionary outcomes in the context of real-world problems. At this point, it has strong relations with biomedical and today’s intelligent systems compete with human capabilities in medical tasks. However, advanced use of artificial intelligence causes intelligent systems to be black-box. That situation is not good for building trustworthy intelligent systems in medical applications. For a remarkable amount of time, researchers have tried to solve the black-box issue by using modular additions, which have led to the rise of the term: interpretable artificial intelligence. As the literature matured (as a result of, in particular, deep learning), that term transformed into Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI). This book provides an essential edited work regarding the latest advancements in Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) for biomedical applications. It includes not only introductive perspectives but also applied touches and discussions regarding critical problems as well as future insights.
