Artificial intelligence (AI) is one of the emerging technologies. In recent decades, artificial intelligence (AI) has gained widespread acceptance in a variety of fields, including virtual support, healthcare, and security. Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) is a field that has been combining AI and human-computer engagement over the past several years in order to create an interactive intelligent system for user interaction. AI, in conjunction with HCI, is being used in a variety of fields by employing various algorithms and employing HCI to provide transparency to the user, allowing them to trust the machine. The comprehensive examination of both the areas of AI and HCI, as well as their subfields, has been explored in this work. The main goal of this article was to discover a point of intersection between the two fields. The understanding of Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI), which is a linking point of HCI and XAI, was gained through a literature review conducted in this research. The literature survey encompassed themes identified in the literature (such as XAI and its areas, major XAI aims, and XAI problems and challenges). The study’s other major focus was on the use of AI, HCI, and XAI in healthcare. The poll also addressed the shortcomings in XAI in healthcare, as well as the field’s future potential. As a result, the literature indicates that XAI in healthcare is still a novel subject that has to be explored more in the future.

Automation in agriculture nowadays is the main focus and area of development for various countries. The population rate of the world is increasing rapidly and will be double in upcoming decades and the need of food is also increasing accordingly. To meet this rapid growth in demand, agriculture automation is the best solution. Traditional strategies employed by farmers are not efficient enough to fulfill the rising demand. Improper use of nutrients, water, fertilizers and pesticides disturbs the agricultural growth and the land remains barren with no fertility. This research paper presents different control strategies used to automate agriculture such as: IoT, aerial imagery, multispectral, hyperspectral, NIR, thermal camera, RGB camera, machine learning, and artificial intelligence techniques. Problems in agriculture like plant diseases, pesticide control, weed management, irrigation and water management can easily be solved by different automated and control techniques mentioned above. Automation by advance control strategies of agricultural methods have verified to increase the crops yield and also the soil fertility become strong. This research paper reviews and observe the work of different researchers to present a brief summary about the trends in smart agriculture and also provides the work flow and revenue of smart agriculture system in figure 15 using technologies verified by researchers in their research papers.

The traditional supply chain system included smart objects to enhance intelligence, automation capabilities, and intelligent decision-making. Internet of Things (IoT) technologies are providing unprecedented opportunities to enhance efficiency and reduce the cost of the existing system of the supply chain. This article aims to study the prevailing supply chain system and explore the benefits obtained after smart objects and embedded networks of IoT are implanted. Short-range communication technologies, radio frequency identification (RFID), middleware, and cloud computing are extensively comprehended to conceptualize the smart supply chain management system. Moreover, manufacturers are achieving maximum benefits in terms of safety, cost, intelligent management of inventory, and decision-making. This study also offers concepts of smart carriage, loading/unloading, transportation, warehousing, and packaging for the secure distribution of products. Furthermore, the tracking of customers to convince them to make more purchases and the modification of shops with the assistance of the Internet of Things are thoroughly idealized.

Technology has played a vital part in improving quality of life, especially in healthcare. Artificial intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT) are extensively employed to link accessible medical resources and deliver dependable and effective intelligent healthcare. Body wearable devices have garnered attention as powerful devices for healthcare applications, leading to various commercially available devices for multiple purposes, including individual healthcare, activity alerts, and fitness. The paper aims to cover all the advancements made in the wearable Medical Internet of Things (IoMT) for healthcare systems, which have been scrutinized from the perceptions of their efficacy in detecting, preventing, and monitoring diseases in healthcare. The latest healthcare issues are also included, such as COVID-19 and monkeypox. This paper thoroughly discusses all the directions proposed by the researchers to improve healthcare through wearable devices and artificial intelligence. The approaches adopted by the researchers to improve the overall accuracy, efficiency, and security of the healthcare system are discussed in detail. This paper also highlights all the constraints and opportunities of developing AI enabled IoT-based healthcare systems.

The past few years have witnessed the emergence of a novel paradigm called cloud computing. CC aims to provide computation and resources over the internet via dynamic provisioning of services. There are several challenges and issues associated with implementation of CC. This research paper deliberates on one of CC main problems i.e. load balancing (LB). The goal of LB is equilibrating the computation on the cloud servers such that no host is under/ overloaded. Several LB algorithms have been implemented in literature to provide effective administration and satisfying customer requests for appropriate cloud nodes, to improve the overall efficiency of cloud services, and to provide the end user with more satisfaction. An efficient LB algorithm improves efficiency and asset’s usage through effectively spreading the workload across the system’s different nodes. This review research paper objective is to present critical study of existing techniques of LB, to discuss various LB parameters i.e. throughput, performance, migration time, response time, overhead, resource usage, scalability, fault tolerance, power savings, etc. The research paper also discusses the problems of LB in the CC environment and identifies the need for a novel LB algorithm that employs FT metrics. It has been found that traditional LB algorithms are not good enough and they do not consider FT efficiency metrics for their operation. Hence, the research paper identifies the need for FT efficiency metric in LB algorithms which is one of the main concerns in cloud environments. A novel algorithm that employs FT in LB is therefore proposed.

The traditional networks are facing difficulties in managing the services offered by cloud computing, big data, and the Internet of Things as the users have become more dependent on their services. Software-Defined Networking (SDN) has pulled enthusiasm in the integration process of technologies and function as per the user’s requirements for both academia and industry, and it has begun to be embraced in actual framework usage. The emergence of SDN has given another idea to empower the focal programmability of the system. Because of the increasing demand and the scarcity of resources, the load balancing issue needs to be addressed efficiently to manage the incoming traffic and resources and to improve network performance. One of the most critical issues is the role of the controller in SDN to balance the load for having a better Quality of Service (QoS). Though there are few survey articles written on load balancing, there is no detail and systematic review conducted in load balancing in SDN. Hence, this paper extends and reviews the discussion with a taxonomy of current emerging load balancing techniques in SDN systematically by categorizing the techniques as conventional and artificial intelligence-based techniques to improve the service quality. The review also includes the study of metrics and parameters which have been used to measure the performance. This review would allow gaining more information on load balancing approaches in SDN and enables the researchers to fill the current research gaps.
