Synopsis "Emerging Smart Technologies"

We live in a world with an abundance of technologies and the technologies are developing and improving rapidly. Technologies are transforming our lifestyles, social interactions, and workplaces. Nearly everyone in the developed nations possesses multiple electronic gadgets (cell phones, tablets, personal computers, laptops, digital notebooks, etc.). Daily use of technology has evolved. Recent advances in the field of technology have led to the emergence of innovative solutions known as smart technologies. A technology is considered smart if it performs a task that an intelligent person can do. A smart or intelligent technology is a self-operative and corrective system that requires little or no human intervention. Smart technologies can be understood as a generalization of the concept of smart structures and the use of digital and communications technologies. They have given us new, powerful tools to work. Application of such technologies can transform the conventional cities into smart cities, conventional home into smart home, conventional farming into smart farming, etc. Today, we are in an era where everything is expected to be smart. Common examples include smart cities, smart factory, smart agriculture, smart farming, smart healthcare, smart university, smart medication, smart water, smart food, smart materials, smart devices, smart phones, smart grid, smart energy, smart homes, smart buildings, smart metering, smart appliances, smart equipment, smart heating controls, smart lighting systems, smart watch, smart economy, smart environment, smart grids, smart transportation, smart mobility, smart manufacturing, smart living, smart environment, smart people, etc. These technologies will ensure equity, fairness, and realize a better quality of life. The combined autonomy and ambience of smart technologies simultaneously provides the conduit through which our choices are affected. These smart technologies go hand-in-hand with a new technology called the Internet of things (IoT).

Matthew N.O. Sadiku is a distinguished Nigerian-American scholar and author, known for his contributions to electrical engineering and higher education. He was born on May 17, 1955, in Shagamu, Nigeria. He earned his bachelor's degree in electrical engineering in 1978 at Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, Nigeria. He then completed his master's and PhD in electrical engineering at Tennessee Technological University, Cookeville, in 1982 and 1984, respectively

Throughout his career, Sadiku has held significant academic and professional roles. He was an assistant professor at Florida State University (1984-1988) and a professor at Temple University, Philadelphia (1988-2000). Between 2000 and 2002, he worked as a systems engineer at Lucent/Avaya and as a principal scientist at Boeing Satellite Systems. Currently, he is a professor emeritus of electrical and computer engineering at Prairie View A&M University, Texas

Sadiku is the author of more than 120 professional articles and over 20 books, including Fundamentals of Electric Circuits (with Charles K. Alexander), Elements of Electromagnetics, and Computational Electromagnetics with MATLAB. His work has been translated into several languages, including Spanish, French, Chinese, Korean, and Italian

In recognition of his contributions, he was named an IEEE Fellow in 2013 for his contributions to computational electromagnetics and engineering education. Additionally, he received the McGraw-Hill/Jacob Millman Award in 2000 for his outstanding contributions in the field of electrical engineering

Currently, Sadiku resides in West Palm Beach, Florida, with his wife Janet, and continues to be an influential figure in electrical engineering and higher education.
