The Internet of Things has revolutionized many industries and sectors by connecting devices to the Internet with the use of smart sensors and actuators, resulting in many advantages to businesses and organizations, such as better information and resource sharing, better supply chain efficiency, resulting in better overall efficiency and cost savings. This new book investigates the potential for initiating data-enabled and IoT-intensive applications to provide control and optimization of industrial operations and services. It presents an informative selection of quantitative research, case studies, conceptual chapters, model articles and theoretical papers on many important technological advances, applications, and challenges in the current status of IoT. The book features examples of IoT applications in such areas as food processing, automotive engineering, mental health, health tracking, security, and more. It discusses applying IoT in reverse logistics processes, developments in the Internet of Vehicles, the use of smart antennas, and machine learning in IoT. One chapter discusses a ground-breaking new device that uses IoT to convert audio recordings to Braille. Also discussed is the growing use of IoT in biometric technology (the use of technology to identify a person based on some aspect of their biology, such as fingerprint and eye unique pattern recognition). The enlightening information shared here offers state-of-the-art IoT solutions to many of today’s challenges of improving efficiency and bringing important information to the surface more quickly than systems depending on human intervention. The volume will be of value for computer science engineers and researchers, instructors and students in the field, and professionals that are interested in exploring the areas of next-generations IoT.

The quantity, diversity, and sophistication of Internet of Things (IoT) items are rapidly increasing, posing significant issues but also innovative solutions for forensic science. Such systems are becoming increasingly common in public locations, businesses, universities, residences, and other shared offices, producing enormous amounts of data at rapid speeds in a variety of forms. IoT devices can be used as suspects, digital witnesses, or instruments of crime and cyberattacks, posing new investigation problems, forensic issues, security threats, legal concerns, privacy concerns, and ethical dilemmas. A cyberattack on IoT devices might target the device itself or associated systems, particularly vital infrastructure. This book discusses the advancements in IoT and Cyber Physical Systems (CPS) forensics. The first objective is to learn and understand the fundamentals of IoT forensics. This objective will answer the question of why and how IoT has evolved as one of the most promising and widely accepted technologies across the globe and has many widely accepted applications. The second objective is to learn how to use CPS to address many computational problems. CPS forensics is a promising domain, and there are various advancements in this field. This book is structured so that the topics of discussion are relevant to each reader’s particular areas of interest. The book’s goal is to help each reader to see the relevance of IoT and CPS forensics to his or her career or interests. This book not only presents numerous case studies from a global perspective, but it also compiles a large amount of literature and research from a database. As a result, this book effectively demonstrates the concerns, difficulties, and trends surrounding the topic while also encouraging readers to think globally. The main goal of this project is to encourage both researchers and practitioners to share and exchange their experiences and recent studies between academia and industry.
