Unit and Ubiquitous Internet of Things. This item is unavailable.Unit and Ubiquitous Internet of Things

Although the Internet of Things (IoT) will play a key role in the development of next generation information, network, and communication technologies, many are still unclear about what makes IoT different from similar concepts.

Answering fundamental questions about IoT architectures and models, Unit and Ubiquitous Internet of Things introduces essential IoT concepts from the perspectives of mapping and interaction between the physical world and the cyber world. It addresses key issues such as strategy and education, particularly around unit and ubiquitous IoT technologies. Supplying a new perspective on IoT, the book covers emerging trends and presents the latest progress in the field. It also:

• Outlines a fundamental architecture for future IoT together with the IoT layered model
• Describes various topological structures, existence forms, and corresponding logical relationships
• Establishes an IoT technology system based on the knowledge of IoT scientific problems
• Provides an overview of the core technologies, including basic connotation, development status, and open challenges

The book examines ubiquitous sensing, networking, and communications, as well as information management involved in unit IoT. It describes global IoT applications and includes coverage of ubiquitous, local, industrial, national, and transnational IoT. Presenting detailed case studies that illustrate various application scenarios, the text considers the main IoT supporting technologies including resource management, loop control in actuation, session management, space-time consistency, security and privacy, energy management, spectrum management, nanotechnology, quantum technology, and big data.

Huansheng Ning, Ph.D., is an associate professor in the School of Electronic and Information Engineering, Beihang University. He was born in Anhui, China, and received a B.S. from Anhui University, China, and a Ph.D. from Beihang University, China. From 2002 to 2003, Dr. Ning worked at Aisino Corporation, Beijing, China. From 2004 to 2005, he was a post-Ph.D. at Beihang University. He has presided over several research projects supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC), the National High Technology Research and Development Program of China (863 Program), and other organizations. He has published many papers and books on radio frequency identification (RFID) and Internet of Things (IoT). Dr. Ning serves as an editor on Advances in Internet of Things (2012-Present), is a guest editor for the Journal of Universal Computer Science Special Issue on Internet of Things (JUCS), and coeditor for The Internet of Things: From RFID to the Next-Generation Pervasive Networked Systems (Taylor & Francis Group). He also serves as a chair or program committee member for international conferences/workshops, for example, program chair (IEEE iThings 2012), program committee member (AMT 2012), K15947. Internet of Things and CPS track chair (IEEE CIT’12), workshop chair (IEEE iThings 2011), and general chair (UMES 2011). Dr. Ning’s current research focuses on Internet of Things, electromagnetic sensing, and aviation security.
