About the Book
The book presents the proceedings of the 11th International Conference on Frontiers of Intelligent Computing: Theory and Applications (FICTA 2023), held at Cardiff School of Technologies, Cardiff Metropolitan University, Cardiff, Wales, UK, during April 11-12, 2023. Researchers, scientists, engineers, and practitioners exchange new ideas and experiences in the domain of intelligent computing theories with prospective applications in various engineering disciplines in the book. This book is divided into two volumes. It covers broad areas of information and decision sciences, with papers exploring both the theoretical and practical aspects of data-intensive computing, data mining, evolutionary computation, knowledge management and networks, sensor networks, signal processing, wireless networks, protocols, and architectures. This book is a valuable resource for postgraduate students in various engineering disciplines.
