Futuristic Research Trends and Applications of Internet of Things

The Internet of Things (IoT) is an interconnection of several devices, networks, technologies, and human resources to achieve a common goal. A variety of IoT-based applications are being used in different sectors and have succeeded in providing huge benefits to the users. As a revolution, IoT overtook the entire global landscape with its presence in almost every sector, including smart cities, smart grid, intelligent transportation, healthcare, education, and so on. This technological revolution also moved to the machines, converting them into intelligent computers that can make real-time decisions and communicate with each other, forming an Internet of Systems/Machines. The use of secure light-weight protocols will help us in developing environment-friendly and energy-efficient IoT systems.

IoT is an emerging and recent area of research, adopted for many applications, and there is a need to investigate further challenges in all aspects of it. This book will provide information on fundamentals, architectures, communication protocols, use of AI, existing applications, and emerging research trends in IoT. It follows a theoretical approach to describe the fundamentals for beginners as well as a practical approach with the implementation of case studies for intermediate and advanced readers. The book will be beneficial for academicians, researchers, developers, and engineers who work in or are interested in fields related to IoT. This book serves as a reference for graduate and postgraduate courses in computer science, computer engineering, and information technology streams.

物聯網（IoT）是多個設備、網絡、技術和人力資源的互聯，以實現共同目標。各種基於物聯網的應用正在不同領域中使用，並成功為用戶提供巨大的好處。作為一場革命，物聯網在幾乎所有領域中都佔據了全球舞台，包括智慧城市、智慧電網、智能交通、醫療保健、教育等等。這場技術革命還擴展到機器，將它們轉變為能夠做出即時決策並相互通信的智能計算機，形成了系統/機器的互聯網。使用安全輕量級協議將有助於我們開發環境友好和節能的物聯網系統。

物聯網是一個新興且最近的研究領域，被應用於許多應用領域，需要進一步研究其各個方面的挑戰。本書將提供有關物聯網的基礎知識、架構、通信協議、人工智能的應用、現有應用和新興研究趨勢的信息。它以理論方法描述初學者的基礎知識，並以實施案例研究的實踐方法為中級和高級讀者提供指導。本書對於從事或對與物聯網相關的領域感興趣的學者、研究人員、開發人員和工程師非常有益。本書可作為計算機科學、計算機工程和信息技術專業的研究生和碩士課程的參考書籍。
