Energy Conservation for IoT Devices (eBook)

This book addresses the Internet of Things (IoT), an essential topic in the technology industry, policy, and engineering circles, and one that has become headline news in both the specialty press and the popular media. The book focuses on energy efficiency concerns in IoT and the requirements related to Industry 4.0. It is the first-ever 'how-to' guide on frequently overlooked practical, methodological, and moral questions in any nations' journey to reducing energy consumption in IoT devices.

The book discusses several examples of energy-efficient IoT, ranging from simple devices like indoor temperature sensors, to more complex sensors (e.g. electrical power measuring devices), actuators (e.g. HVAC room controllers, motors) and devices (e.g. industrial circuit-breakers, PLC for home, building or industrial automation). It provides a detailed approach to conserving energy in IoT devices, and comparative case studies on performance evaluation metrics, state-of-the-art approaches, and IoT legislation. 

Dr. Mamta Mittal graduated with a degree in Computer Science & Engineering from Kurukshetra University in 2001 and received her Master's degree from YMCA, Faridabad. She subsequently completed Ph.D. at Thapar University Patiala and is currently teaching at GB PANT Government Engineering College, New Delhi. She has filed two patents: for a human surveillance system, and for a wireless copter for handling and defusing explosives. She is the editor of the books 'Data Intensive Computing Application for Big Data' by IOS press, and 'Big Data Processing Using Spark in Cloud' by Springer. Her research interests include Data Mining, Big Data, Soft Computing and Machine learning.
