This book exploits the benefits of integration of wireless sensor networks (WSN) and Internet of Things (IoT) for smart cities. The authors discuss WSN and IoT in tackling complex computing tasks and challenges in the fields of disaster relief, security, and weather forecasting (among many others). This book highlights the challenges in the field of quality of service metrics (QoS) in the WSN based IoT applications. Topics include IoT Applications for eHealth, smart environments, intelligent transportation systems, delay tolerant models for IoT applications, protocols and architectures for industrial IoT, energy efficient protocols, and much more. Readers will get to know the solutions of these problems for development of smart city applications with the integration of WSN with IoT.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 10th International Conference on Ad Hoc Networks, ADHOCNETS 2018, held in Cairns, Australia, in September 2018. The 27 full papers were selected from 50 submissions and cover a variety of network paradigms including mobile ad hoc networks, sensor networks, vehicular networks, underwater networks, airborne networks, underground networks, personal area networks, device-to-device (D2D) communications in 5G cellular networks, and home networks. The papers present a wide range of applications in civilian, commercial, and military areas.

Название: Internet of Everything: Algorithms, Methodologies, Technologies and Perspectives

This book focuses on the Internet of Everything and related fields. The Internet of Everything adds connectivity and intelligence to just about every device, giving it special functions. The book provides a common platform for integrating information from heterogeneous sources. However, this can be quite reductive, as the Internet of Everything provides links not only among things, but also data, people, and business processes. The evolution of current sensor and device networks, with strong interactions between people and social environments, will have a dramatic impact on everything from city planning, first responders, the military and health.

Название: Policy Implications of Virtual Work
Автор: Pamela Meil and Vassil Kirov
Издательство: Palgrave Macmillan
Год: 2017
Формат: EPUB, PDF
Размер: 10 Мб
Язык: английский / English

This collection presents an array of policy debates and implications emerging from virtual work. The authors cover a range of areas, including: conceptual debates, measuring virtual work; discourses and levels of policy intervention; the role of the sharing and collaborative economy; and resultant challenges for organized labour, law and regulation. The authors of the chapters analyse the ways in which processes of digitalization leading to virtual work impact so many aspects of our lives: the way we buy, sell, network, communicate, participate, create, consume, and, of course, the way we work. In turn they focus on the subsequent implications for the future of work as well as the viability of existing social protection systems.

Название: A Prehistory of the Cloud

Год: 2016
Формат: EPUB
Размер: 20 Мб
Язык: английский / English

The militarized legacy of the digital cloud: how the cloud grew out of older network technologies and politics. We may imagine the digital cloud as placeless, mute, ethereal, and unmediated. Yet the reality of the cloud is embodied in thousands of massive data centers, any one of which can use as much electricity as a midsized town. Even all these data centers are only one small part of the cloud. Behind that cloud-shaped icon on our screens is a whole universe of technologies and cultural norms, all working to keep us from noticing their existence. In this book, Tung-Hui Hu examines the gap between the real and the virtual in our understanding of the cloud.

As the World Wide Web continues to expand, it becomes increasingly difficult for users to obtain information efficiently. Because most search engines read format languages such as HTML or SGML, search results reflect formatting tags more than actual page content, which is expressed in natural language. Spinning the Semantic Web describes an exciting new type of hierarchy and standardization that will replace the current "web of links" with a "web of meaning." Using a flexible set of languages and tools, the Semantic Web will make all available information -- display elements, metadata, services, images, and especially content accessible.
