Internet of Things (eBook)

Internet of Things: Technologies and Applications for a New Age of Intelligence outlines the background and overall vision for the Internet of Things (IoT) and Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS), as well as associated emerging technologies. Key technologies are described including device communication and interactions, connectivity of devices to cloud-based infrastructures, distributed and edge computing, data collection, and methods to derive information and knowledge from connected devices and systems using artificial intelligence and machine learning. Also included are system architectures and ways to integrate these with enterprise architectures, and considerations on potential business impacts and regulatory requirements.

• Presents a comprehensive overview of the end-to-end system requirements for successful IoT solutions
• Provides a robust framework for analyzing the technology and market requirements for a broad variety of IoT solutions
• Covers in-depth security solutions for IoT systems
• Includes a detailed set of use cases that give examples of real-world implementation
