The Internet of Things in the Cloud: A Middleware Perspective This book provides a panoramic view of the IoT landscape, focusing on the overall technological architecture and design of a tentatively unified IoT system underpinned by different cloud computing paradigms from a middleware perspective. It is based on the authors two previous bestselling books (in Chinese) on IoT and cloud computing and decades of software/middleware programming and architecting experience. The first part of the book describes IoT, related concepts, and a number of key vertical IoT applications. The second part focuses on middleware. The third part covers cloud computing and IoT as well as their synergy based on the common background of distributed processing. Although the Internet of Things (IoT) is a vast and dynamic territory that is evolving rapidly, there has been a need for a book that offers a holistic view of the technologies and applications of the entire IoT spectrum. Filling this void, The Internet of Things in the Cloud: A Middleware Perspective provides a comprehensive introduction to the IoT and its development worldwide.It gives you a panoramic view of the IoT landscape—focusing on the overall technological architecture and design of a tentatively unified IoT framework underpinned by Cloud computing from a middleware perspective. Organized into three sections, it:Describes the many facets of Internet of Things—including the four pillars of IoT and the three layer value chain of IoTFocuses on middleware, the glue and building blocks of a holistic IoT system on every layer of the architectureExplores Cloud computing and IoT as well as their synergy based on the common background of distributed processingThe book is based on the author’s two previous bestselling books (in Chinese) on IoT and Cloud computing and more than two decades of hands-on software/middleware programming and architecting experience at organizations such as the Oak Ridge National Laboratory, IBM, BEA Systems, and Silicon Valley startup Doubletwist.
