This book addresses researchers and graduate students at the forefront of study/research on the Internet of Things (IoT) by presenting state-of-the-art research together with the current and future challenges in building new smart applications (e.g., Smart Cities, Smart Buildings, and Industrial IoT) in an efficient, scalable, and sustainable way. It covers the main pillars of the IoT world (Connectivity, Interoperability, Discoverability, and Security/Privacy), providing a comprehensive look at the current technologies, procedures, and architectures.

The contents of the book flow from a preliminary overview on the Internet and the IoT, with details on “classical” protocols, to more technical details. The synopsis of the book can be summarized as follows: The first chapter introduces IoT in general terms and illustrates a few IoT-enabled applications, from home/building automation to smart farming. The second chapter contains an overview of relevant standards (e.g. Constrained Application Protocol, CoAP), presented according to the protocol layers and parallelizing the “traditional” Internet and the IoT, with a final outlook on industrial IoT. Chapter three focuses on interoperability, a key concept for IoT, highlighting relevant aspects (e.g. Representational State Transfer (REST) architectures and Web of Things) and presenting illustrative applications (e.g. the Dual-network Management Protocol (DNMP) allowing the interaction of IEEE 802.11s and IEEE 802.15.4 networks). At the end of Chapter three, we preliminarily also discuss discoverability in constrained environments (with reference to the CoRE Link Format); this paves the way to Chapter four, which dives into the concept of discoverability (both in terms of service and resource discovery), presenting a few of our research results in this area. Chapter five is dedicated to security and privacy in the IoT, discussing proper mechanisms for IoT in a comparative way with respect to common mechanisms for classical Internet. In Chapter six, we consider cloud and fog computing, discussing concepts such as big stream processing (relevant for cloud-based applications) and the IoT Hub (relevant for fog-based applications). Finally, Chapter seven is an overview of hands-on issues, presenting relevant hardware devices and discussing a Web-of-Things-oriented vision for a test bed implementation.
