"The Internet of Things (IoT) paradigm makes 'things' such as medical devices, fridge, smart meters, cameras, and road traffic sensors part of the Internet. It is expected that trillions of IoT devices will be deployed by 2025 for applications such as smart cities and digital agriculture. This new paradigm opens the doors to new innovations and interactions between people and things that will enhance the quality of life and utilization of scarce resources. [This book] captures the state-of-the-art research in Internet of Things, its applications, architectures, and technologies. The book identifies potential future directions and technologies that facilitate insights into numerous scientific, business, and consumer applications ... [and] addresses numerous challenges and develops the conceptual and technological solutions for tackling them. The challenges include the development of scalable architecture, lightweight application development platforms, autonomic management, and as well as the privacy and ethical issues around data sensing, sharing, and processing."--Back cover.
