Description
Smart object technology, sometimes called the Internet of Things, is having a profound impact on our day-to-day lives.
Interconnecting
Smart Objects with IP is the first book that takes a holistic approach to the revolutionary area of IP-based smart objects. Smart
objects are the intersection of networked embedded systems, wireless sensor networks, ubiquitous and pervasive computing, mobile telephony
and telemetry, and mobile computer networking. This book consists of three parts, Part I focuses on the architecture of smart objects
networking, Part II covers the hardware, software, and protocols for smart objects, and Part III provides case studies on how and where
smart objects are being used today and in the future. The book covers the fundamentals of IP communication for smart objects, IPv6, and
web services, as well as several newly specified low-power IP standards such as the IETF 6LoWPAN adaptation layer and the RPL routing
protocol. This book contains essential information not only for the technical reader but also for policy makers and decision makers in
the area of smart objects both for private IP networks and the Internet.
Audience:
Networking and wireless engineers and researchers with functions or titles that include communication engineer, network architect, network
designer, systems engineer, network operator, network engineer, as well as product managers and service companies to CEOs, CIOs, etc.
