Fundamentals of Internet of Things for Non-Engineers

The IoT is the next manifestation of the Internet. The trend started by connecting computers to computers progressed to connecting people to people and is now moving to connect everything to everything. The movement started like a race—with a lot of fanfare excitement and cheering. We’re now into the work phase and we have to figure out how to make the dream come true. The IoT will have many faces and involve many fields as it progresses. It will involve technology design security legal policy business artificial intelligence design Big Data and forensics; about any field that exists now. This is the reason for this book. There are books in each one of these fields but the focus was always an inch wide and a mile deep. There’s a need for a book that will introduce the IoT to non-engineers and allow them to dream of the possibilities and explore the work venues in this area.

Swarm Intelligence From Social Bacteria to Humans

Swarm Intelligence From Social Bacteria to Humans

The notion of swarm intelligence was introduced for describing decentralized and self-organized behaviors of groups of animals. Then this idea was extrapolated to design groups of robots which interact locally to cumulate a collective reaction. Some natural examples of swarms are as follows: ant colonies bee colonies fish schooling bird flocking horse herding bacterial colonies multinucleated giant amoebae Physarum polycephalum etc. In all these examples individual agents behave locally with an emergence of their common effect. An intelligent behavior of swarm individuals is explained by the following biological reactions to attractants and repellents. Attractants are biologically active things such as food pieces or sex pheromones which attract individuals of swarm. Repellents are biologically active things such as predators which repel individuals of swarm. As a consequence attractants and repellents stimulate the directed movement of swarms towards and away from the stimulus respectively. It is worth noting that a group of people such as pedestrians follow some swarm patterns of flocking or schooling. For instance humans prefer to avoid a person considered by them as a possible predator and if a substantial part of the group in the situation of escape panic (not less than 5%) changes the direction then the rest follows the new direction too. Some swarm patterns are observed among human beings under the conditions of their addictive behavior such as the behavior of alcoholics or gamers. The methodological framework of studying swarm intelligence is represented by unconventional computing robotics and cognitive science. In this book we aim to analyze new methodologies involved in studying swarm intelligence. We are going to bring together computer scientists and cognitive scientists dealing with swarm patterns from social bacteria to human beings. This book considers different models of simulating controlling and predicting the swarm behavior of different species from social bacteria to humans. | Swarm Intelligence From Social Bacteria to Humans

LTE Cellular Narrowband Internet of Things (NB-IoT) Practical Projects for the Cloud and Data Visualization

LTE Cellular Narrowband Internet of Things (NB-IoT) Practical Projects for the Cloud and Data Visualization

NB-IoT is the Internet of Things (IoT) technology used for cellular communication. NB-IoT devices deliver much better capability and performance such as: increased area coverage of up to one kilometer; a massive number of devices—up to 200 000—per a single base-station area; longer battery lifetime of ten years; and better indoor and outdoor coverage for areas with weak signal such as underground garages. The cellular NB-IoT technology is a challenging technology to use and understand. With more than 30 projects presented in this book covering many use cases and scenarios this book provides hands-on and practical experience of how to use the cellular NB-IoT for smart applications using Arduino™ Amazon Cloud Google Maps and charts. The book starts by explaining AT commands used to configure the NB-IoT modem; data serialization and deserialization; how to set up the cloud for connecting NB-IoT devices; setting up rules policy security certificates and a NoSQL database on the cloud; how to store and read data in the cloud; how to use Google Maps to visualize NB-IoT device geo-location; and how to use charts to visualize sensor datasets. Projects for Arduino are presented in four parts. The first part explains how to connect the device to the mobile operator and cellular network; perform communication using different network protocols such as TCP HTTP SSL or MQTT; how to use GPS for geo-location applications; and how to upgrade NB-IoT modem firmware over the air. The second part explains the microcontroller unit and how to build and run projects such as a 7-segment display or a real-time clock. The third part explains how NB-IoT can be used with sensor devices such as ultrasonic and environmental sensors. Finally the fourth part explains how NB-IoT can be used to control actuators such as stepper motors and relays. This book is a unique resource for understanding practical uses of the NB-IoT technology and serves as a handbook for technical and non-technical readers who are looking for practicing and exercising the cellular NB-IoT technology.

The Routledge Companion to Planning in the Global South

The Routledge Companion to Planning in the Global South

The Routledge Companion to Planning in the Global South offers an edited collection on planning in parts of the world which more often than not are unrecognised or unmarked in mainstream planning texts. In doing so its intention is not to fill a ‘gap’ that leaves this ‘mainstream’ unquestioned but to re-theorise planning from a deep understanding of ‘place’ as well as a commitment to recognise the diverse modes of practice that come within it. The chapters thus take the form not of generalised ‘universal’ analyses and prescriptions but instead are critical and located reflections in thinking about how to plan act and intervene in highly complex city regional and national contexts. Chapter authors in this Companion are not all planners or are planners of very different kinds and this diversity ensures a rich variety of insights primarily based on cases to emphasise the complexity of the world in which planning is expected to happen. The book is divided into a framing Introduction followed by five sections: planning and the state; economy and economic actors; new drivers of urban change; landscapes of citizenship; and planning pedagogy. This volume will be of interest to all those wanting to explore the complexities of planning practice and the need for new theories of knowledge from which to draw insight to face the challenges of the 21st century.
