A Research Professor in the Faculty of Engineering, Marcel Odhiambo Ohanga, has published an epoch-defining book. In 2022, Professor Ohanga published a book titled: ‘Achieving Full Realization and Mitigating the Challenges of the Internet of Things’. A few weeks ago, Professor Ohanga and Weston Mwashita published another IT-related book titled: ‘From the Internet of Things to Internet of Intelligence.’
This book aims to present an integration of the Internet of Things and Artificial Intelligence into Internet of Intelligence technologies that support the ever-increasing needs of humanity. This conceptual book will assist researchers, professionals, practicians, and others working in the areas of IoT and Artificial Intelligence to assess IoT and Artificial Intelligence better to come up with technologies/mechanisms to make the full realization of IoT a reality in support of humanity. In this book, emerging opportunities, challenges, and solutions are explored. The solution to many of these challenges is machine learning (ML), a subfield of artificial intelligence (AI), which can completely alter the future of wireless network technologies.
Intelligent perception, analysis, and control will all be features of AI/IoT converged networks. Deep learning, federated learning, and reinforcement learning are a few examples of AI approaches that can be considered for designing and cost-efficiently optimizing 6G architecture and network management.
Professor Ohanga said the book provides users with the fundamentals of IoT architecture, AI technology, and the architecture of AI and IoT converged networks. “Furthermore, to provide hands-on experience with the technology, some proposed systems are discussed, along with their applications in various sectors such as healthcare, transportation, smart cities, production, manufacturing, renewable energy, and agriculture,” said Professor Ohanga. The book discusses new technological advances, current research trends, and industry requirements.
Giving the reasons for writing the book, Professor Ohanga said that with the arrival of the intelligent information era, the world is going through a significant digital transition. “It is projected that the core areas of smart living, such as transportation, entertainment, healthcare, and smart cities, would raise the bar for service quality and guarantee a premium customer experience,” said Professor Ohanga. He said that the sixth generation (6G) wireless communication networks, artificial intelligence (AI), and Internet of Things (IoT) technologies are expected to transform customer services and applications and pave the way for brilliant and autonomous systems in the future. “Research in intelligent agents is yielding interesting results, some of which have been translated into commercial ventures,” Professor Ohanga said. Intelligent agents are executable software components that represent the user and perform tasks on behalf of the user. When the task terminates, the Agents send the result to the user. According to Professor Ohanga, agents are best suited for the Internet, a collection of interconnected computers.
