Networked Systems

Introduction
============
The Internet of things - as recently proposed by ITU as a world in which
billions of objects will report their location, identity, and history over
wireless connections - has brought the spotlight on the next-generation
pervasive networked systems, enabling connectivity and computation via
anything, anywhere and anytime.
The realization of such a scenario will probably require the dramatic
changes in systems, architectures and communications which should be
flexible, adaptive, secure, and pervasive without being intrusive. Although
the RFID technology has already laid a foundation, other research and
development thrusts are also required to enable such a pervasive networking
world, such as communications protocols, middleware, applications support,
MAC, data processing, semantic computing and search capabilities.
While placed in the specific context of the exciting expansion period of
this research domain, this book will provide readers a comprehensive
technical, practical, deploying, policy guidance covering fundamentals and
recent advances in pervasive networked systems, from RFID towards the
Internet of things.
