I would like to say thank you to the Almighty and my parents for the endless support, guidance and love through all stages. I dedicate this book to my parents, family members and my wife.

I would like to specially thank Sri. Koneru Satyanarayana, President, K. L. University, India for his continuous support and encouragement throughout the preparation of this book.

I also thank my student Ms. Vishnu Priya, who helped for some time and effort to support and contribute in some manner. I would like to express my gratitude towards all who supported, shared, talked things over, read, wrote, offered comments, allowed us to quote remarks and assisted in editing, proofreading and design throughout this books journey. We pay our sincere thanks to the open data set providers.

I am grateful to Mr. Martin Scrivener and Wiley-Scrivener Publishing team, who showed us the ropes to creating this book. Without that knowledge I would not have ventured into starting this book, which ultimately led to this. Their trusting in us, their guidance and providing the necessary time and resources, gave us the freedom to manage this book.

Last, but definitely not least, Id like to thank my readers, who gave us their trust and hope this work inspires and guides them.
