Introduction
The emergence and rise of Internet of Things (IoT) promises to revolutionize the way humans lead their lives by connecting all the devices that we possibly use to a common network, the Internet. Some of these devices include sensors, home appliances, health monitoring devices and any device that produces quantifiable data. This concept has given birth to unlimited application areas that use the interactions between humans and devices to build inferences and make predictions for improving the quality of life and optimizing the use of existing resources.
A recent survey of McKinsey has shown that the number of deployed IoT devices is expected to reach one trillion by 2025. Moreover, the economic impact of this technology on world economy can be assessed from the fact that it is expected to capture 11% of the same by the end of 2025. With that said, Internet of Things, as a technological paradigm, suffers from several challenges that must be addressed before its vision can be realized. Some of the evident challenges include identification and development of architectures that can meet the scalability requirements of the IoT ecosystem. Data and resource management along with the need to maintain the security and privacy of the system also remain prevalent, in addition to several others.
All the devices that fall under the umbrella of Internet of Things are commonly referred to as smart devices. Therefore, the concept of IoT acquires and integrates data from these smart devices. Furthermore, this data is stored and processed to generate useful analytics. The vision of IoT is to visualize the world as a collection of connected entities. The most obvious application of such a paradigm is smart city as the connected nature of the city is expected to make resources management simpler. Among other applications of IoT, healthcare and
infrastructure management are frontrunners because of their need for real-time solutions in critical scenarios. In addition, there are a plethora of applications that can be developed and commercialized for human use.
The objective of this book is to explore the concepts and applications related to Internet of Things with the vision to identify and address existing challenges. Besides this, it shall also provide future research directions in this domain. This book is meant for students, practitioners, industry professionals, researchers and faculty working in the field of Internet of Things and its integration with other technologies to develop integrated, comprehensive solutions to real-life problems.
