Internet of things (Io T) is the connection and communication of physical objects (smart devices) over the internet. In this recent age, people’s daily lives are dependent on the internet through their smartphones, tablets, Smart TVs, micro-controllers, Smart Tags, computers, laptops, and cars to name a few. This book discusses different ways to create a better Io T network and/or Io T platforms to improve the efficiency and quality of these products and subsequently their users» lives. In addition, this book provides future research directions in energy, industry, and healthcare, and explores the different applications of Io T and its associated technologies. It provides an overview and explanation of the software architecture, middleware, data processing and data management as well as security, sensors, actuators and algorithms used to create a working Io T platform. The editors then go on to examine Io T networks and platforms as they relate to energy industry including, energy efficiency and management, intelligent energy management, smart energy through blockchain and energy-efficient/aware routing/scheduling challenges and issues. They then explore Io T as it applies to healthcare including biomedical image and signal analysis and disease prediction and diagnosis. Finally the editors examine the prospects and applications of Io T for industry through the concepts of smart industry, including architecture, blockchain, and Industry 4.0. This book is intended for senior undergraduate and graduate students, researchers and industry professionals working on Io T applications and infrastructure.
