Developing Internet of Things solutions requires unparalleled teamwork, coordination, and synchronization for each component in the system, and for the entire system as a whole. All devices must work together and be compatible with all other devices and all devices must communicate and interact with connected networks and infrastructures securely in a secure manner. It's possible, but it can be costly, time consuming, and challenging, unless the existing centralized paradigm emerges from a new line of thinking and new approach to IoT protection.
The existing ecosystems of IoT depend on centralized, brokered models of communication, otherwise known as the server / client paradigm. All devices are detected, authenticated and linked via cloud servers that sport huge capacity for processing and storage. Link between devices would have to go over the internet exclusively, even if they are a few feet apart.
Owing to the high infrastructure and maintenance costs associated with centralized networks, massive server farms, and networking equipment, existing IoT technologies are costly. The sheer amount of communications to be handled when IoT devices grow to tens of billions will substantially increase those costs. In addition, machine-to-machine (M2M) communication is made difficult by the complexity of ownership between devices and their supporting cloud infrastructure. There is no unified network that links all devices and no assurance that cloud services are interoperable and compatible with each other provided by different manufacturers.
A unified approach to IoT networking will resolve a number of the above concerns. Adopt a standardized peer-to-peer communication model to process the hundreds of billions of inter-device transactions. Blockchain, the' distributed ledger ' system underpinning bitcoin, has emerged as a topic of intense interest in and beyond the tech industry. Blockchain technology offers a way to record transactions or any digital activity in such a way as to be secure, transparent, highly resistant to interruptions, auditable and productive.
Submission Guidelines:
In the first instance, a brief expression of interest should be submitted through the following EasyChair submission page and include an anticipated outline (e.g. table of contents) of the proposed chapter's contents.
