A fully updated guide to cutting-edge Internet of Things (IoT) technology
The Internet of Things (IoT) has revolutionized the way we interact with technology in a highly connected world, bringing a host of new objects and points of entry into global communications networks. Internet of Things A to Z: Technologies and Applications, Second Edition, is a thorough and accessible resource to IoT for undergraduate and postgraduate students, as well as practitioners and implementers.
With a contributor team led by an editor who has decades of experience in information and communication technology (ICT), it covers all foundational subjects for understanding IoT. Now fully updated to reflect the latest developments in the field, it is an indispensable volume for students, researchers, and IT learners looking to keep pace with this rapidly growing technology.
Organized into five thematic parts, this edition offers foundational theory, emerging technologies, domain-specific applications, security and trust models, and hands-on tutorials that bridge theory and practice. Each chapter offers a research-informed overview with extensive references, making the book equally valuable as a course text and a scholarly reference.
Readers of the second edition will also find:
Three additional chapters covering applications of artificial intelligence, machine learning, and deep learning, including information on the Internet of Military Things Detailed chapters on IoT architecture and ecosystems, security issues such as trust management and IoT authentication methods, big data analytics, and more Expanded treatment of essential technologies not covered in the first edition, including edge computing and edge intelligence, with coverage of applications such as tinyML, Digital Twins, AR/VR, and the metaverse Practical tutorials on building IoT prototypes and developing streaming data pipelines using widely adopted tools and platforms New information on design and prototyping, including updated hardware boards and instructions
Internet of Things A to Z: Technologies and Applications, Second Edition, is ideal for students interested in the Internet of Things, ICT researchers, industry professionals, and lifetime IT learners seeking a comprehensive and up-to-date reference that connects theory with real-world implementation.
