Ebook: Internet of Things: Architectures, Protocols and Standards

This book addresses researchers and graduate students at the forefront of study/research on the Internet of Things (IoT) by presenting state-of-the-art research together with the current and future challenges in building new smart applications (e.g., Smart Cities, Smart Buildings, and Industrial IoT) in an efficient, scalable, and sustainable way. It covers the main pillars of the IoT world (Connectivity, Interoperability, Discoverability, and Security/Privacy), providing a comprehensive look at the current technologies, procedures, and architectures. **

From the Back Cover

EXPLORES THE MAIN IoT TOPICS OF CONNECTIVITY, INTEROPERABILITY, DISCOVERABILITY, SECURITY, AND PRIVACY, AND EXAMINES THE EXISTING TECHNOLOGIES, PROTOCOLS, AND ARCHITECTURES This book addresses researchers and graduate students at the forefront of study and research on the Internet of Things (IoT) by presenting state-of-the-art research together with the current and future challenges in building new smart applications (e.g. Smart Cities, Smart Buildings, and Industrial IoT) in an efficient, scalable, and sustainable way. It covers the main pillars of the IoT world (Connectivity, Interoperability, Discoverability, Security, and Privacy), providing a comprehensive look at the current technologies, procedures, and architectures. Internet of Things: Architectures, Protocols and Standards starts with an overview and a discussion about the integration of IoT technologies with Cloud and Fog Computing paradigms and how this vision will play a fundamental role in the design and deployment of large scale IoT applications. The last part is dedicated to the application of all the concepts and standards into real world use cases, in order to provide beneficial insights that can be used as design examples and guidelines. It also presents the definition of classes of IoT Constrained Devices in terms of Hardware and Software and an experimental analysis related to the creation and deployment of an IoT testbed with heterogeneous devices. * Delves into the key topics of the Internet of Things * Explores a hot topic that will be relevant for years to come due to its integration with Industrial Internet and Industry 4.0 * Examines current research along with the challenges in creating efficient, scalable, and sustainable smart applications for the future * Looks at practical aspects of integrating IoT on different classes of devices

Internet of Things: Architectures, Protocols and Standards will appeal to researchers, engineers, and graduate students working directly in IoT areas as well as those in computer engineering and software development.
