• Intelligent Traffic Control
• Intelligent Resource Scheduling
• Mobile Edge Computing Enabled Intelligent IoT
• Blockchain Enabled Intelligent IoT
• Conclusions and Future Challenges

This book provides an overview of the Internet of Things Network and Machine Learning and introduces Internet of Things architecture. It designs a new intelligent IoT network architecture and introduces different machine learning approaches to investigate solutions. It discusses how machine learning can help network awareness and achieve network intelligent control. It also dicusses the emerging network techniques that can enable the development of intelligent IoT networks. This book applies several intelligent approaches for efficient resource scheduling in networks. It discusses Mobile Edge Computing aided intelligent IoT and focuses mainly on the resource sharing and edge computation offloading problems in mobile edge networks. The blockchain-based IoT (which allows fairly and securely renting resources and establishing contracts) is discussed as well. The Internet of Things refers to the billions of physical devices that are now connected to and transfer data through the Internet without requiring human-to-human or human-to-computer interaction. According to Gartner's prediction, there will be more than 37 billion IoT connections in the future year of 2025. However, with large-scale IoT deployments, IoT networks are facing challenges in the aspects of scalability, privacy, and security. The ever-increasing complexity of the IoT makes effective monitoring, overall control, optimization, and auditing of the network difficult. Recently, artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) approaches have emerged as a viable solution to address this challenge. Machine learning can automatically learn and optimize strategy directly from experience without following pre-defined rules. Therefore, it is promising to apply machine learning in IoT network control and management to leverage powerful machine learning adaptive abilities for higher network performance.

The IoT topology defines the way various components communicate with each other within a network. Topologies can vary greatly in terms of security, power consumption, cost, and complexity. Optimizing the IoT topology for different applications and requirements can help to boost the network's performance and save costs. More importantly, optimizing the topology robustness can ensure security and prevent network failure at the foundation level. In this context, this book examines the optimization schemes for topology robustness in the IoT, helping readers to construct a robustness optimization framework, from self-organizing to intelligent networking. The book provides the relevant theoretical framework and the latest empirical research on robustness optimization of IoT topology. Starting with the self-organization of networks, it gradually moves to genetic evolution. It also discusses the application of neural networks and reinforcement learning to endow the node with self-learning ability to allow intelligent networking. This book is intended for students, practitioners, industry professionals, and researchers who are eager to comprehend the vulnerabilities of IoT topology. It helps them to master the research framework for IoT topology robustness optimization and to build more efficient and reliable IoT topologies in their industry.

Leverage the full potential of IoT with the combination of Raspberry Pi 3 and Python and architect a complete IoT system that is the best fit for your organization Key Features Build complex Python-based applications with IoT Explore different concepts, technologies, and tradeoffs in the IoT architectural stack Delve deep into each element of the IoT design-from sensors to the cloud Book DescriptionThe Internet of Things (IoT) is the fastest growing technology market. Industries are embracing IoT technologies to improve operational expenses, product life, and people's well-being. We'll begin our journey with an introduction to Raspberry Pi and quickly jump right into Python programming. We'll learn all concepts through multiple projects, and then reinforce our learnings by creating an IoT robot car. We'll examine modern sensor systems and focus on what their power and functionality can bring to our system. We'll also gain insight into cloud and fog architectures, including the OpenFog standards. The Learning Path will conclude by discussing three forms of prevalent attacks and ways to improve the security of our IoT infrastructure. By the end of this Learning Path, we will have traversed the entire spectrum of technologies needed to build a successful IoT system, and will have the confidence to build, secure, and monitor our IoT infrastructure. This Learning Path includes content from the following Packt products: Internet of Things Programming Projects by Colin Dow Internet of Things for Architects by Perry Lea What you will learn Build a home security dashboard using an infrared motion detector Receive data and display it with an actuator connected to the Raspberry Pi Build an IoT robot car that is controlled via the Internet Use IP-based communication to easily and quickly scale your system Explore cloud protocols, such as Message Queue Telemetry Transport (MQTT) and CoAP Secure communication with encryption forms, such as symmetric key Who this book is forThis Learning Path is designed for developers, architects, and system designers who are interested in building exciting projects with Python by understanding the IoT ecosphere, various technologies, and tradeoffs. Technologists and technology managers who want to develop a broad view of IoT architecture, will also find this Learning Path useful. Prior programming knowledge of Python is a must.

As more and more devices become interconnected through the Internet of Things (IoT), there is an even greater need for this book, which explains the technology, the internetworking, and applications that are making IoT an everyday reality. The book begins with a discussion of IoT "ecosystems" and the technology that enables them, which includes: * Wireless * Infrastructure and Service Discovery Protocols * Integration Technologies and Tools * Application and Analytics Enablement Platforms A chapter on next-generation cloud infrastructure explains hosting IoT platforms and applications. A chapter on data analytics throws light on IoT data collection, storage, translation, real-time processing, mining, and analysis, all of which can yield actionable insights from the data collected by IoT applications. There is also a chapter on edge/fog computing. The second half of the book presents various IoT ecosystem use cases. One chapter discusses smart airports and highlights the role of IoT integration. It explains how mobile devices, mobile technology, wearables, RFID sensors, and beacons work together as the core technologies of a smart airport. Integrating these components into the airport ecosystem is examined in detail, and use cases and real-life examples illustrate this IoT ecosystem in operation. Another in-depth look is on envisioning smart healthcare systems in a connected world. This chapter focuses on the requirements, promising applications, and roles of cloud computing and data analytics. The book also examines smart homes, smart cities, and smart governments. The book concludes with a chapter on IoT security and privacy. This chapter examines the emerging security and privacy requirements of IoT environments.
