The Internet of Things (IoT) refers to a system of interconnected computing devices with sensors, processing ability, and software, which connect and communicate with other devices and systems over the internet or other networks. IoT technology enables applications that perform tasks without human-to-human or human-to-computer interaction, improving efficiency and generating new opportunities. IoT digitalizes industries to improve product quality and cost and creates the potential for a fully networked, human-centered society with healthy economic growth. The concept of Internet of Everything (IoE) goes beyond IoT to include the connections between people, things, data, and processes combined into a common interrelated system, leveraging human and artificial intelligence to improve decisions and experience, and represents the future of IoT technology. Internet of Everything: Smart Sensing Technologies addresses the forefront of study of IoE by presenting state-of-the-art research along with current and future challenges in building new, smart applications. Specific topics covered include sensing, connectivity and communication, knowledge extraction by discovering resources for modeling information, and security and privacy. The sixteen chapters of this book will benefit students, researchers, and others who are interested in the future of this exciting technology.
