Motivation
The Internet of Things (IoT) refers to the billions of intelligent physical devices with some processing power and storage capacity, having unique identifiers which connect them to the Internet for collecting and sharing data. The main goal of IoT is to make secure, reliable, and fully automated smart environments e.g., buildings, smart homes, smart cities, smart healthcare, smart grids, smart agriculture, smart vehicles, etc. However, there are many technological challenges in deploying IoT. This includes connectivity and networking, timeliness, power and energy consumption dependability, security and privacy, compatibility and longevity, and network/protocol standards, etc., with respect to resource-constrained embedded sensors and devices.
Topics of Interest
The book aims to systematically collect and present quality research findings in the areas of recent advances in IoT area to give wide benefit to a huge community of researchers, educators, practitioners and industries. We provide a typical list of chapters/areas to cover both fundamental and advanced areas of IoT for Secure Smart environment. Submissions are solicited on the following topics, but are not limited to:
- IoT Architectures for Smart Environments
- Networking technology in IoT (SDN, 5G, LTE, Narrowband, WBAN/BAN/BSN, WSN, RFID, NFC, etc.)
- IPv6 Addressing, Naming, and Discovery in IoT
- Infrastructure identity management and access control systems in IoT for Smart Environments
- Distributed Computing aspect of IoT for Smart Environments
- Data Handling and Management (accumulation, abstraction, storage, processing, encryption, fast retrieval, security and privacy) in IoT for Smart Environments
- Availability and resilience aspects in IoT for Smart Environments
- Cloud computing and Fog Computing in IoT for Smart Environments
- Energy management and Green IoT for Smart Environments
- Quality Assurance in IoT for Smart Environments
- Trust management in IoT for Smart Environments
- Incentive mechanisms for IoT applications for Smart Environments
- Threat and attack models of IoT applications for Smart Environments
