Architecting the internet of things

Many of the initial developments towards the Internet of Things have focused on the combination of Auto-ID and networked infrastructures in business-to-business logistics and product lifecycle applications. However, the Internet of Things is more than a business tool for managing business processes more efficiently and more effectively – it will also enable a more convenient way of life.Since the term Internet of Things first came to attention when the Auto-ID Center launched their initial vision for the EPC network for automatically identifying and tracing the flow of goods within supply-chains, increasing numbers of researchers and practitioners have further developed this vision. The authors in this book provide a research perspective on current and future developments in the Internet of Things. The different chapters cover a broad range of topics from system design aspects and core architectural approaches to end-userparticipation, business perspectives and applications. The Internet of Things has become a key concept for linking uniquely identifiable things to their virtual representations in the InternetThe book shows current research developments and covers architectural and technical components as well as user-perspectives and pilots towards commercial useThe book intends to excite researchers, practitioners and end-users alike to take part in the development and deployment of the Internet of Things, which may prove to be a disruptive technology that will change our business, private and social life INDICE: Foreword.
