Integration and Implementation of the Internet of Things Through Cloud Computing

The internet of things (IoT) has drawn great attention from both academia and industry, since it offers a challenging notion of creating a world where all things around us are connected to the internet and communicate with each other with minimal human intervention. Another component for helping IoT to succeed is cloud computing. The combination of cloud computing and IoT will enable new monitoring services and powerful processing of sensory data streams. These applications, alongside implementation details and challenges, should also be explored for successful mainstream adoption. IoT is also fueled by the advancement of digital technologies, and the next generation era will be cloud-based IoT systems. Integration and Implementation of the Internet of Things Through Cloud Computing studies, analyzes, and presents cloud-based IoT-related technologies, protocols, and standards along with recent research and development in cloud-based IoT. It also presents recent emerging trends and technological advances of cloud-based IoT, innovative applications, and the challenges and implications for society. The chapters included take a strong look at the societal and social aspects of this technology along with its implementations and technological analyses. This book is intended for IT specialists, technologists, practitioners, researchers, academicians, and students who are interested in the next era of IoT through cloud computing.
