Description The book aim is to define the Internet of = Things (IoT)=20 in a global view, present the research agenda for Internet of = Things=20 technologies by addressing the new technological developments and=20 providing a global balanced coverage of the challenges and the = technical=20 and industrial trends. Energy consumption by the data, communication = and=20 networking devices and global CO2 emission is increasing = exponentially.=20 ICT has a dual role in this process: it accounts for about two = percent of=20 global CO2 emissions and at the same the ICT including IoT = technologies=20 and applications have a direct effect on lowering CO2 emissions,=20 increasing energy efficiency, reducing power consumption, and = achieving=20 efficient waste recycling. The book builds on the ideas put forward by the = European research Cluster on the Internet of Things Strategic = Research=20 Agenda and presents global views and state of the art results on = the=20 challenges facing the research, development and deployment of IoT = at the=20 global level. IoT together with the other emerging Internet=20 developments such as Internet of Energy, Media, People, Services,=20 Business/Enterprises are the backbone of the digital economy, the = digital=20 society and the foundation for the future knowledge based economy = and=20 innovation society. IoT developments show that we will have 16 = billion=20 connected devices by the year 2020 , which will average out to six = devices=20 per person on earth and to many more per person in digital=20 societies. Devices like smart phones and machine to = machine or=20 thing to thing communication will be the main drivers for further = IoT=20 development. The first direct consequence of the IoT is the = generation of=20 huge quantities of data, where every physical or virtual object = may have a=20 digital twin in the cloud, which could be generating regular = updates. The=20 IoT contribution is in the increased value of information created = by the=20 number of interconnections among things and the transformation of = the=20 processed information into knowledge for the benefit of mankind = and=20 society. The Internet of Things market is connected to industrial = machine=20 to machine (M2M) systems, smart meters and enabling technologies = such as=20 nanoelectronics, communications, sensors, smart phones, embedded = systems,=20 cloud computing and software technologies that will create new = products,=20 new services, new interfaces by creating smart environments and = smart=20 spaces with applications ranging from smart transport, cities, = buildings,=20 energy, grid, to smart health and life.
