Accelerating the Adoption of Iot: A Fog Computing Paradigm to Build and Deploy Cost-Effective Iot Solutions

Part of Wiley’s interdisciplinary IoT Skills in Practice series, Accelerating the Adoption of IoT defines IoT and its technology capabilities, describes the current state of the industry, industry trends, market opportunity, and building blocks of the ecosystem. Starting with an analysis of problems to be addressed to enable widescale adoption, and fundamentals of the system, the book goes on to define and explain fog, edge and cloud computing, going into how fog computing will gain momentum over the next decade and how other emerging technologies are well positioned to create additional benefit from this transformation. 5G, AI, cybersecurity, blockchain, and big data technologies are explored as enabling technologies for scaling IoT, and use cases from key players Amazon, Microsoft, Google, IBM, Facebook, Cisco, Network Operators, Smartiply, and other start ups are included so readers can learn from previous experiences. The book delivers the knowledge in a staged manner, engages the readers through real-world examples and case studies, and offers tools to successfully implement projects. The book offers a playbook that provides a framework and approach to the readers to create a strategy and deploy IoT solutions for their industry and to make efficient use of fog computing solutions. The book finishes by demonstrating to readers how to build and execute a plan to develop new IoT solutions and devices (and integrate them), and how to create a start-up to work in this space.
