Components and Services for IoT Platforms

This book serves as a single-source reference to the state-of-the-art in Internet of Things (IoT) platforms, services, tools, programming languages, and applications. In particular, the authors focus on IoT-related requirements such as low-power, time-to-market, connectivity, reliability, interoperability, security, and privacy. Authors discuss the question of whether we need new IoT standardization bodies or initiatives, toward a fully connected, cyber-physical world. Coverage includes the research outcomes of several, current European projects related to IoT platforms, services, APIs, tools, and applications.

Prof. Dr. Ing. habil. Michael Hübner is the Chair for Embedded Systems for Information Technology (ESIT) at the Ruhr University of Bochum (RUB) since April 2012. He received his diploma degree in electrical engineering and information technology in 2003 and his PhD de­gree in 2007 from the University of Karlsruhe (TH). Prof. Hübner did his habilitation in 2011 at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) in the do­main of reconfigurable computing systems. His research interests are in reconfigurable computing and particularly new technologies for adaptive FPGA run-time reconfiguration and on-chip network structures with application in automotive systems, incl. the integration into high-level design and programming environments.
