Book Description
Today, we see the integration of Industrial, Business, and Consumer Internet. This integration is bringing together the Internet of People, Internet of Things, Internet of Energy, Internet of Vehicles, and Internet of Media, Services, and Enterprises. In this way, it forms the backbone of the digital economy and digital society and the foundation for the future knowledge and innovation-based economy in supporting solutions for the emerging challenges of public health, aging population, environmental protection and climate change, the conservation of energy and scarce materials, enhancements to safety and security, and the continuation and growth of economic prosperity. Penetration of smartphones and advances in machine to machine (M2M) and wireless communication technology will be the main drivers for Internet of Things (IoT) development. The IoT contribution is in the increased value of information created by the number of interconnections and the transformation of the processed information into knowledge shared in the Internet of Everything. The connected devices are part of ecosystems connecting people, processes, data, and things which are communicating in the cloud, using the increased storage and computing power and pushing for standardization of communication and metadata. In this context, the next generation of the cloud technologies will need to be flexible enough to scale autonomously, adaptive enough to handle constantly changing connections, and resilient enough to stand up to the huge flows in data that will occur. For 2025, analysts forecast that there will be six devices per human on the planet, which means 50 billion more connected devices over the next 12 years. The IoT market is connected to this growth from industrial M2M systems, smart meters, and wireless sensors. Enabling technologies such as nanoelectronics, MEMS, embedded systems, intelligent device management, smart phones, telematics, smart network infrastructure, cloud computing, and software technologies will create new products, new services, and new interfaces by creating smart environments and smart spaces with applications ranging from Smart Cities, smart transport, buildings, energy, and grid, to smart health and life. Internet of Things provides a broad overview of various topics of the IoT from the research and development priorities to enabling technologies, architecture, security, privacy, interoperability, and industrial applications. It is intended to be a standalone book in a series that covers the IoT activities of the Internet of Things European Research Cluster (IERC) from technology to international cooperation and the global "state of play." The book builds on the ideas put forward by the IERC Strategic Research Agenda and presents global views and state-of-the-art results on the challenges that the research, development, and deployment of IoT faces at the global level. Technical topics discussed in the book include: - Introduction - Internet of Things in a wider context: Time for convergence. - Internet of Things Strategic Research Agenda - Interconnection and Integration of the Physical World into the Digital World - Scalable Architectures for IoT Applications - IoT standardisation requirements and initiatives. Standardisation and Innovation. - Service Openness and Interoperability - Software define and virtualization of network resources - Mobile devices enable IoT evolution from industrial applications to mass consumer applications - Innovation through Interoperability and Standardisation when everything is connected anytime at anyplace

Internet of Things Based on Smart Objects
Author: Giancarlo Fortino
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 3319004913
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 203
Book Description
The Internet of Things (IoT) usually refers to a world-wide network of interconnected heterogeneous objects (sensors, actuators, smart devices, smart objects, RFID, embedded computers, etc) uniquely addressable, based on standard communication protocols. Beyond such a definition, it is emerging a new definition of IoT seen as a loosely coupled, decentralized system of cooperating smart objects (SOs). A SO is an autonomous, physical digital object augmented with sensing/actuating, processing, storing, and networking capabilities. SOs are able to sense/actuate, store, and interpret information created within themselves and around the neighbouring external world where they are situated, act on their own, cooperate with each other, and exchange information with other kinds of electronic devices and human users. However, such SO-oriented IoT raises many in-the-small and in-the-large issues involving SO programming, IoT system architecture/middleware and methods/methodologies for the development of SO-based applications. This Book will specifically focus on exploring recent advances in architectures, algorithms, and applications for an Internet of Things based on Smart Objects. Topics appropriate for this Book include, but are not necessarily limited to: - Methods for SO development - IoT Networking - Middleware for SOs - Data Management for SOs - Service-oriented SOs - Agent-oriented SOs - Applications of SOs in Smart Environments: Smart Cities, Smart Health, Smart Buildings, etc. Advanced IoT Projects.

Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Ambient intelligence (AmI) is an element of pervasive computing that brings smartness to living and business environments to make them more sensitive, adaptive, autonomous and personalized to human needs. It refers to intelligent interfaces that recognise human presence and preferences, and adjust smart environments to suit their immediate needs and requirements. The key factor is the presence of intelligence and decision-making capabilities in IoT environments. The underlying technologies include pervasive computing, ubiquitous communication, seamless connectivity of smart devices, sensor networks, artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML) and context-aware human-computer interaction (HCI). AmI applications and scenarios include smart homes, autonomous self-driving vehicles, healthcare systems, smart roads, the industry sector, smart facilities management, the education sector, emergency services, and many more. The advantages of AmI in the IoT environment are extensive. However, as for any new technological paradigm, there are also many open issues and limitations. This book discusses the AmI element of the IoT and the relevant principles, frameworks, and technologies in particular, as well as the benefits and inherent limitations. It reviews the state of the art of current developments relating to smart spaces and AmI-based IoT environments. Written by leading international researchers and practitioners, the majority of the contributions focus on device connectivity, pervasive computing and context modelling (including communication, security, interoperability, scalability, and adaptability). The book presents cutting-edge research, current trends, and case studies, as well as suggestions to further our understanding and the development and enhancement of the AmI-IoT vision.
