Predictive Computing and Information Security: A Technical Review

With the advancement in technology and computing techniques, it has become possible to integrate several different technologies that make task of data processing in real-time easier and faster. It is believed that integration of cloud computing and IoT with wireless sensor networks will completely reshape the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) industry. One major advantage of this integration is that it has become easy to design predictive computing-based techniques and models for many key areas. In this chapter, we have focused on these hot key areas, where predictive computing-based techniques and frameworks are applied for better human living and environment. We aim to pinpoint the predictive techniques, data handling techniques, sustainable techniques, navigation techniques, intelligent agents, smart object based techniques. Key areas for the predictive framework: healthcare, smart home, navigation, e-commerce are discussed. Security in context to predictive computing can be defined in terms of data confidentiality, privacy and trust. At the end, we have given the key challenges related to integration and implementation of IoT and cloud computing.
