Big Data and Internet of Things: A Roadmap for Smart Environments

by Nik Bessis (Editor), Ciprian Dobre (Editor)

Overview

This book presents current progress on challenges related to Big Data management by focusing on the particular challenges associated with context-aware data-intensive applications and services. The book is a state-of-the-art reference discussing progress made, as well as prompting future directions on the theories, practices, standards and strategies that are related to the emerging computational technologies and their association with supporting the Internet of Things advanced functioning for organizational settings including both business and e-science. Apart from inter-operable and inter-cooperative aspects, the book deals with a notable opportunity namely, the current trend in which a collectively shared and generated content is emerged from Internet end-users. Specifically, the book presents advances on managing and exploiting the vast size of data generated from within the smart environment (i.e. smart cities) towards an integrated, collective intelligence approach. The book also presents methods and practices to improve large storage infrastructures in response to increasing demands of the data intensive applications. The book contains 19 self-contained chapters that were very carefully selected based on peer review by at least two expert and independent reviewers and is organized into the three sections reflecting the general themes of interest to the IoT and Big Data communities:

Section I: Foundations and Principles

Section II: Advanced Models and Architectures

Section III: Advanced Applications and Future Trends

The book is intended for researchers interested in joining interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary works in the areas of Smart Environments, Internet of Things and various computational technologies for the purpose of an integrated collective computational intelligence approach into the Big Data era.

Editorial Reviews

From the book reviews:

“This broad-ranging collection deals with many aspects of smart environments and the relevant data collection and processing problems. … this wide-ranging and informative collection should provide a decent introduction to the current state of smart environments and IoT for interested students, researchers, and practitioners.” (R. M. Malyankar, Computing Reviews, June, 2014)
