The Internet of Things in the Cloud (eBook, PDF)

A Middleware Perspective

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This book provides a panoramic view of the IoT landscape, focusing on the overall technological architecture and design of a tentatively unified IoT system underpinned by different cloud computing paradigms from a middleware perspective. It is based on the author's two previous bestselling books (in Chinese) on IoT and cloud computing and decades of software/middleware programming and architecting experience. The first part of the book describes IoT, related concepts, and a number of key vertical IoT applications. The second part focuses on middleware. The third part covers cloud computing and IoT as well as their synergy based on the common background of distributed processing.
