This book is the proceeding of the 1st International Conference on Distributed Sensing and Intelligent Systems (ICDSIS2020) which will be held in The National School of Applied Sciences of Agadir, Ibn Zohr University, Agadir, Morocco on February 01-03, 2020. ICDSIS2020 is co-organized by Computer Vision and Intelligent Systems Lab, University of North Texas, USA as a scientific collaboration event with The National School of Applied Sciences of Agadir, Ibn Zohr University. ICDSIS2020 aims to foster students, researchers, academicians and industry persons in the field of Computer and Information Science, Intelligent Systems, and Electronics and Communication Engineering in general. The volume collects contributions from leading experts around the globe with the latest insights on emerging topics, and includes reviews, surveys, and research chapters covering all aspects of distributed sensing and intelligent systems. The volume is divided into 5 key sections: Distributed Sensing Applications; Intelligent Systems; Advanced theories and algorithms in machine learning and data mining; Artificial intelligence and optimization, and application to Internet of Things (IoT); and Cybersecurity and Secure Distributed Systems. This conference proceeding is an academic book which can be read by students, analysts, policymakers, and regulators interested in Distributed Sensing, Smart Network approaches, Smart Cities, IoT Applications, and Intelligent Applications. It is written in plain and easy language, and describes new concepts when they appear first so that a reader without prior background of the field finds it readable. The book is primarily intended for research students in sensor networks and IoT applications (including intelligent information systems, and smart sensors applications), academics in higher education institutions including universities and vocational colleges, policy makers and legislators.
