Preface

This book is intended to provide readers with a comprehensive knowledge of IoT systems design on a conceptual level. It covers IoT design methodologies, IoT system architectures, IoT data-related aspects, cybersecurity in IoT systems, blockchain in IoT and green IoT.
The primary target group of readers is master's students and industrial system designers such as CTOs.
Even if most of the content is somehow technology-aware, the authors assume that persons studying the contents must have at least general knowledge of the technical details of IoT and embedded systems, including main components on the electronics level, networking, data processing and security.
For this reason, students starting their journey with IoT systems should instead start with the “Blue Book” first, which covers all technical aspects of IoT needed as background knowledge for this high-level approach towards IoT systems design.
