This book series publishes research on the analysis and development of algorithmsfor intelligent systems with their applications to various real world problems. Itcovers research related to autonomous agents, multi-agent systems, behavioralmodeling, reinforcement learning, game theory, mechanism design, machinelearning, meta-heuristic search, optimization, planning and scheduling, artificialneural networks, evolutionary computation, swarm intelligence and other algo-rithms for intelligent systems.

The book series includes recent advancements, modification and applicationsof the artificial neural networks, evolutionary computation, swarm intelligence,artificial immune systems, fuzzy system, autonomous and multi agent systems,machine learning and other intelligent systems related areas. The material will bebeneficial for the graduate students, post-graduate students as well as theresearchers who want a broader view of advances in algorithms for intelligentsystems. The contents will also be useful to the researchers from other fields whohave no knowledge of the power of intelligent systems, e.g. the researchers in thefield of bioinformatics, biochemists, mechanical and chemical engineers,economists, musicians and medical practitioners.

The series publishes monographs, edited volumes, advanced textbooks andselected proceedings.

Preface

The Conference on Artificial Intelligence: Advances and Applications-2019 is thefirst International Conference that has been organized with publication support ofSpringer. It is jointly organized by Poornima College of Engineering, Jaipur,Poornima Institute of Engineering and Technology, Jaipur, Rajasthan TechnicalUniversity, Kota, Rajasthan, India, and Jawaharlal Nehru Technological UniversityHyderabad under RTU (ATU) TEQIP III. The objective of the conference was tobring together researchers from academia, government agencies, research labora-tories and the corporate sector from all over the world to present their researchworks carried out in artificial intelligence domain. Artificial intelligence research isleading to evolve in the area of machine learning, deep learning applications inhealth care, agriculture, business and security, etc. It covers research in core con-cepts of computer networks, intelligent system design and deployment, real-timesystems, WSN, sensors and sensor nodes, SDN, NFV, etc. It is useful for students,faculty and industry working on AI applications. AI is an emerging technology thatshall be used in almost all applications/technologies/systems in one or other form.On behalf of RTU Kota, Poornima College of Engineering, Poornima Institute ofEngineering and Technology, Jaipur, and JNTU, Hyderabad, I am pleased towelcome all the readers of Proceedings of International Conference on ArtificialIntelligence: Advances and Applications-ICAIAA 2019.

This conference has provided an environment to conduct intellectual discussionsand exchange ideas that are instrumental in shaping the future of artificial intelli-gence. It has been planned in two tracks, viz. Track 1: Artificial Intelligence andTrack 2: Intelligent Sensor, Devices & Application. The conference could getvery good response from four countries such as India, USA, UAE and Nigeria.A total of 188 papers were received and were reviewed by 125 reviewers fromdifferent reputed institutions across India. A total of 59 papers were accepted forpresentation in the conference from two countries, out of which 42 papers wereregistered and presented during June 28–29, 2019.

I am thankful to RTU Kota for giving this opportunity to organize this con-ference under TEQIP III project.
