This book gathers a collection of high-quality peer-reviewed research papers presented at First International Conference on Innovations in Software Architecture and Computational Systems (ISACS 2021), held at Guru Nanak Institute of Technology, Kolkata, India, during 2 – 3 April 2021. The book primarily focuses on developing artificial intelligence-based algorithms and methodologies for enabling intelligent hardware and software systems. This book brings together the latest findings on efficient technological solutions for developing intelligent and hybrid systems, intelligent software architecture, machine intelligence-based analytical tools and also smart sensors and networks. The prime focus is on solving technological problems using state-of-the-art research finding like fuzzy computing, evolutionary and hybrid frameworks, neuro-computing, etc., along with other AI-based computation platforms. The book offers a valuable resource for all undergraduate, postgraduate students and researchers interested in exploring solution frameworks for social good problems using artificial intelligence.
