Internet of Things A to Z: Technologies and Applications, Second Edition

Connected devices are only the visible part of the Internet of Things. Behind them sit networks, sensors, software platforms, data systems, and decisions about how these pieces work together. Internet of Things A to Z: Technologies and Applications, Second Edition offers a broad, edited survey of that landscape, linking foundational concepts to technologies and applications across multiple fields.

Qusay F. Hassan’s volume is organized in three parts: core concepts and enablers, artificial intelligence and IoT, and use cases and application domains. That structure makes it useful for readers who want to build a wider understanding of IoT rather than focus on a single device, protocol, or industry.

Start with the architecture behind connected systems

The opening section introduces IoT concepts and enabling technologies, including architecture, connectivity, RFID, sensors, actuators, and wireless sensor networks. It also addresses cloud and fog computing, standards, and related foundations. Together, these subjects help frame how devices gather information, communicate, and participate in larger systems.

Explore the meeting point of AI and IoT

A dedicated section examines artificial intelligence alongside the Internet of Things. This broadens the discussion from connected hardware and infrastructure to the ways intelligent methods are brought into IoT contexts.

See the technologies in application

The book’s application-oriented material connects technical topics with domains such as healthcare, smart agriculture, and environmental monitoring. The contents also cover industrial IoT, RFID applications, and sensor-network deployments, including examples involving early warning and monitoring systems.

Consider the challenges as well as the possibilities

IoT systems raise practical questions about security, privacy, energy use, standards, and reliable deployment. These concerns appear alongside topics such as edge computing, digital twins, and emerging network technologies, giving readers a view of the field’s opportunities and its engineering constraints.

A broad reference for IoT learners and practitioners

This edited volume is suited to students, researchers, IT learners, and professionals who want a wide-ranging introduction to IoT technologies and their applications. Readers can use its structured coverage to orient themselves across a complex subject or to find a starting point for deeper study in a particular area.
