The Internet of Things for Smart Urban Ecosystems Gebunden

The main objective of this book is to provide a multidisciplinary overview of methodological approaches architectures platforms and algorithms for the realization of an Internet of Things (IoT)-based Smart Urban Ecosystem (SUE). Moreover the book details a set of real-world applications and case studies related to specific smart infrastructures and smart cities including structural health monitoring smart urban drainage networks smart grids power efficiency healthcare city security and emergency management.A Smart Urban Ecosystem (SUE) is a people-centric system of systems that invo lves smart city environments applications and infrastructures. SUEs require the close integration of cyber and physical components for monitoring understanding and controlling the urban environment. In this context the Internet of Things (IoT) offers a valuable enabling technology as it bridges the gap between physical things and software components and empowers cooperation between distributed pervasive and heterogeneous entities.
