Next-Gen Computing

by Dr Vinod Patidar

Next-Gen Computing: Cloud, Soft Computing, and Intelligent Systems presents a comprehensive and forward-looking exploration of modern computing paradigms shaping the digital era. This book bridges foundational concepts with emerging technologies, offering a clear understanding of how cloud computing enables scalable, on-demand infrastructure; how soft computing techniques such as fuzzy logic, neural networks, and evolutionary algorithms address uncertainty and complexity; and how intelligent systems drive automation, learning, and decision-making.Designed for students, researchers, and professionals, the book explains theoretical principles alongside practical use cases drawn from real-world domains such as healthcare, smart cities, agriculture, finance, and cybersecurity. It emphasizes integration showing how cloud platforms support intelligent applications, and how soft computing enhances adaptability and human-centric computing. With structured chapters, illustrative examples, and future-oriented insights, this book serves as a valuable resource for understanding and designing next-generation computing systems that are scalable, intelligent, and resilient in an increasingly data-driven world.
