Internet of Things A to Z: Technologies and Applications - Second Edition
Call for Book Chapters - 2024
Introduction
The first edition of this book was published in 2018 with the aim of providing holistic and comprehensive material on the Internet of Things (IoT). The book has become a reference for various researchers and professional ICT practitioners. Some universities around the world, including those in Europe and North America, are also using this book as course material for several subjects. Today, six years after its publication, and given the continuous growth of IoT, it is imperative that the book be updated. Hence, the aim of this project is to refine the focus of the book and fill the gaps in the previous edition by including topics essential for a cohesive and timely understanding of the IoT. In this edition, special emphasis will be given to network technologies, security, AI, and big data analytics. New application domains will also be included. And finally, the content retained from the previous edition will be revised.
