Software-Defined Networking for IoT Systems: Architecture, Integration, and Applications is a cutting-edge guide that bridges the gap between Software-Defined Networking (SDN) and the Internet of Things (IoT). As IoT networks continue to expand, they face critical challenges such as limited scalability, rigid architectures, and vulnerability to faults. This book presents SDNs as a gamechanging solution, offering centralized control, dynamic resource management, and enhanced flexibility to overcome these limitations. This comprehensive volume not only introduces the foundational concepts of SDN and IoT but also provides a deep dive into their integration. Readers will explore layer-wise architectural improvements, step-by-step implementation strategies, and real-world applications across domains like smart cities, industrial automation, healthcare, and smart grids. The book also includes detailed system models, illustrative diagrams, and practical use cases to support hands-on learning and experimentation.

Key Features:

To fully benefit from this book, readers should have a foundational understanding of computer networks (OSI model, IP addressing, TCP/IP protocols), programming languages, basic IoT concepts (architecture, protocols, data transmission). Some familiarity with simulation tools and SDN controllers is a plus.

Bioreactors: Animal Cell Culture Control for Bioprocess Engineering presents the design, fabrication, and control of a new type of bioreactor meant especially for animal cell line culture. The new bioreactor, called the "see-saw bioreactor," is ideal for the growth of cells with a sensitive membrane. The see-saw bioreactor derives its name from its principle of operation in which liquid columns in either limb of the reactor alternately go up and down. The working volume of the reactor is small, to within 15 L. However, it can easily be scaled up for large production in volume of cell mass in the drug and pharmaceutical industries.The authors describe the principle of operation of the see-saw bioreactor and how to automatically control the bioprocess. They discuss different control strategies as well as the thorough experimental research they conducted on this prototype bioreactor in which they applied a time delay control for yield maximization.To give you a complete understanding of the design and development of the see-saw bioreactor, the authors cover the mathematical model they use to describe the kinetics of fermentation, the genetic algorithms used for deriving the optimal time trajectories of the bioprocess variables, and the corresponding control inputs for maximizing the product yield. One chapter is devoted to the application of time delay control. Following a description of the bioreactor’s working setup in the laboratory, the authors sum up their investigation and define the future scope of work in terms of design, control, and software sensors.
