This book covers how Internet of Things (IoT) has a role in shaping the future of our communities. The author shows how the research and education ecosystem promoting impactful solutions-oriented science can help citizenry, government, industry, and other stakeholders to work collaboratively in order to make informed, socially-responsible, science-based decisions. Accordingly, he shows how communities can address complex, interconnected socio-environmental challenges. This book addresses the key inter-related challenges in areas such as the environment, climate change, mining, energy, agro-economic, water, and forestry that are limiting the development of a sustainable and resilient society -- each of these challenges are tied back to IoT based solutions. Presents research into sustainable IoT with respect to wireless communications, sensing, and systems Provides coverage of IoT technologies in sustainability, health, agriculture, climate change, mining, energy, water management, and forestry Relevant for academics, researchers, policy makers, city planners and managers, technicians, and industry professionals in IoT and sustainability

This book constitutes the proceedings of the International Conference on Internet of Things, ICIOT 2020, held virtually as part of SCF 2020, in Honolulu, HI, USA, in September 2020. The 8 full and 4 short papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 20 submissions. The conference Internet of Things (ICIOT 2020) covers state-of-the-art technologies and best practices of Internet of Things, as well as emerging standards and research topics which would define the future of Internet of Things.

This multidisciplinary book provides insights into the applications of the Internet of Things (IoT) to combined sewer overflows (CSO) and stormwater management (SWM) systems. It explores technical challenges and presents recent results to improve sewer and drainage system management using wireless underground communications and sensing in IoT. The book addresses both existing sensing network technologies and those currently in development in three major areas of CSO: combined sewer overflow management, subsurface sensing, and antennas in the layered medium. It explores new applications of IoT in sewer systems to improve public health, foster economic growth, and enhance environmental quality and responsibility for the community. Internet of Things in Smart Sewer and Drainage Systems: Theory and Applications will be a valuable reference for graduate students and academic researchers, as well as a hands-on guide for wastewater technicians, sanitary engineers, environmental specialists, and related industry practitioners.

This book is a compendium of various applications and current progress in a powerful technology known as the Internet of Things (IoT).

Internet of Things: Applications for Sustainable Development will throw light on recent developments in the latest field and will be of great interest to know various application areas for sustainable development. This book mainly focuses on the current state of the art, including protocol design and low-cost sensor design, for the sustainable development of society using IoT. The sustainable development areas include climate, healthcare systems, electrical systems, and energy that can meet present and next-generation advancement using IoT. Sustainable development faces various issues, challenges, opportunities, and future enhancements with the latest technologies, hardware, and software. Features: A real-world problem-solving approach for diversified problems Potential contributors from industries/academia have been given the opportunity to publish their work Identification of various challenges in IoT for future contributions Diversified coverage of the book, including applications, securities, industrialization, automation, etc IoT for the sustainable development areas This book will offer strong support as a reference book for students, practitioners, researchers, and scientific investigators worldwide, as well as anyone who wants to set up IoT-enabled industries. It provides pertinent industries with new ideas and innovations to visionaries.

This book comprises a number of state-of-the-art contributions from both scientists and practitioners working in a large pool of fields where AI and IoT can open up new horizons. Artificial intelligence and Internet of Things have introduced themselves today as must-have technologies in almost every sector. Ranging from agriculture to industry and health care, the scope of applications of AI and IoT is as wide as the horizon. Nowadays, these technologies are extensively used in developed countries, but they are still at an early stage in emerging countries. AI and IoT for Sustainable Development in Emerging Countries—Challenges and Opportunities is an invaluable source to dive into the latest applications of AI and IoT and how they have been used by researchers from emerging countries to solve sustainable development-related issues by taking into consideration the specifities of their countries. This book starts by presenting how AI and IoT can tackle the challenges of sustainable development in general and then focuses on the following axes: · AI and IoT for smart environment and energy · Industry 4.0 and intelligent transportation · A vision towards an artificial intelligence of medical things · AI, social media, and big data analytics. It aspires to provide a relevant reference for students, researchers, engineers, and professionals working in these particular areas or those interested in grasping its diverse facets and exploring the latest advances on their respective fields and the role of AI and IoT in them.
