Industrial Internet of Things and Cyber-Physical Systems: Transforming the Conventional to Digital

Industrial IoT is not one technology or one kind of workplace: it connects questions of security, networking, data, and practical applications. This edited research collection brings those strands together, with chapters on cyber-physical systems and connected technologies across settings that include agriculture, buildings, healthcare, and industrial networks.

Security at the center of connected systems

Several contributions focus on the risks and safeguards that accompany connected devices. Topics include IoT attacks and countermeasures, public-key infrastructure, two-factor authentication, intrusion detection, network security, and wireless sensor network security. Together, these chapters offer readers multiple perspectives on protecting systems that depend on communication between devices and networks.

From smart farms to connected buildings

The collection also looks at applications beyond the factory floor. Readers will find research on deep learning for smart farming, cloud-based IoT architecture for green buildings, smart-speaker discovery and playback continuity, and security for wireless body-area networks in medical IoT. These examples show how broad the field becomes when physical environments and digital systems interact.

Networks, data, and digital infrastructure

Other chapters examine wireless routing, cloud migration, light fidelity, video analysis, deep-learning algorithms, climate prediction using data mining, and clustering for an IT-compliant audit module. The range makes this a useful reference for exploring different research directions, rather than a step-by-step implementation guide for a single platform or tool.

For research-minded readers

With contributions spanning surveys, security architectures, and application-focused studies, the volume is suited to students, researchers, and practitioners interested in IoT, industrial computing, networks, and cyber-physical systems. Its value lies in the variety of problems gathered under one title—and in the chance to compare how connected technologies are being studied across disciplines.
