This comprehensive book delves into a wide array of cutting-edge topics, making it an ideal resource for teaching specialists seeking to deliver advanced lectures on systems architecture and distributed platforms. Additionally, it serves as a valuable foundation for undergraduates and an inspiration for aspiring postgraduates looking for fresh challenges in the field. The book takes a holistic approach to Quality of Service (QoS), considering it as a socially driven phenomenon rather than solely a technical one, especially in the context of digital transformations. It encompasses various aspects such as Internet of Things (IoT), energy efficiency, secure transactions, blockchain technology, and smart contracting.

Within the realm of Emerging Networking (EmN), the book explores the growing diversity of smart mobile and robotic applications, as well as unmanned scenarios (UAVs). EmN supports distributed intelligence across mobile, wireless, and fixed networks, spanning the edge-to-cloud continuum. It examines the driving factors and potential of 6G technology in the mid-term, including its applications in operative (emergency) networking, which aids rescue troops at disaster sites.

The EmN architecture incorporates key components such as Software-Defined Networking (SDN), blockchain technology, and Artificial Intelligence (AI), along with efficient slicing and cloud support. The book also discusses the design peculiarities in dynamically changing domains, such as Smart Shopping/Office/Home, Context-Sensitive Intelligent apps, and more.

What sets this book apart is its technical interest, combined with a practical orientation that makes it accessible to a broad audience. The content is presented in a straightforward manner, making it easy to understand and apply to real-world scenarios.

This book was born out of a close collaboration between scientists from various countries, including Germany, Ukraine, Israel, Switzerland, Slovakia, Poland, Czech Republic, South Korea, China, Italy, North Macedonia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, France, Latvia, Greece, Romania, USA, Finland, Morocco, Ireland, and the United Kingdom.

We wholeheartedly wish all readers success and abundant inspiration from this invaluable resource!
