Holistic approach to the Internet of Things (IoT), including case studies from a variety of industries
Internet of Things addresses core aspects of The Internet of Things (IoT) using a holistic approach, covering case studies in healthcare, telecommunications, transportation, and entertainment. These are integrated into discussions on current deployments, planned activities, and future possibilities in major sectors of the economy, while also touching upon social, legal, and economic issues that IoT may face in the near and distant future.
The text presents solutions for smart cities, the concept of the “connected home,” and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), and covers major initiatives where IoT deployments are needed to solve large scale societal and business problems.
Specific topics covered in Internet of Things include: - Historical foundations for IoT, delving into ideas, experiments, advances, and past investments that make IoT possible - Influences that previous technological changes have had on IoT, including where and how IoT may have comparable or greater impacts - Basic ingredients for IoT, including physical, software, and infrastructure components, and their desired set of functions, common services, expected performance characteristics, and solutions - Tools, processes, and organizational aspects of IoT, and middleware and platforms that are important for standards activities
A practical and accessible text covering the history, state of the art, and future outlook for IoT, Internet of Things is an essential resource for technology practitioners, policy makers, and academics interested in understanding IoT, along with graduate students seeking to enter fields where IoT is prevalent.
