This book provides an overview of the many approaches that can adopted for programming and deploying highly-adaptive and large-scale IoT systems, with a specific focus on the key results achieved within the Fluidware research project. The authors start by presenting Fluidware, which develops a novel programming model for IoT services and applications, along with the associated and robust large-scale IoT services and applications. Starting from previous findings in the areas of field-based coordination, collective adaptive systems, stream computing and aggregate computing, the authors address the complexity of building modern, large-scale IoT systems, by a full-fledged engineering approach revolving around a new notion of distributed programming. The authors show how the key innovative idea of Fluidware is to abstract collectives of devices of the IoT fabric as sources, digesters, and targets of distributed "flows" of contextualized events, carrying information about data produced and actuating commands. The book is divided into three parts: (i) the first part is a general introduction to the Fluidware ideas and to the key problems associated with programming IoT systems, (ii) the second part presents the key results achieved within the Fluidware project; (iii) the third part identified open challenges and research directions. However, IoT applications and services can be hard to program and deploy. Indeed, services and applications for the IoT may involve composing and coordinating myriads of heterogeneous devices, typically dispersed over an environment. In the above context, the IoT research community worldwide started putting notable investigation efforts toward the identification of novel programming approaches for IoT applications that could make it possible to deal with the above sources of complexity automatically and rather enable programmers to easily program and deploy flexible and adaptive applications, enabling to express in full the potentials of the IoT fabric.

This book offers a systematic view of data services in heterogeneous wireless networks, from the perspectives of cause, governing rules, and impact of data’s mobility on such networks. Specifically, it covers application requirements break-down, network modeling, performance analysis and evaluation by examining mobile data dynamics that are particularly important to data service provisioning. Additionally, application prospects such as information dissemination, fog computing, Internet-of-Things and dynamic spectrum access are discussed on the basis of these dynamics. Theoretic analysis, example illustrations, and algorithms are also presented to provide a concise coverage of this important area of networking. Mobile data dynamics refers to the stochastic processes of information, geographical coverage and spectrum, which accompanies the movements of data across wireless networks. Owing to the challenge raised by a high level of network heterogeneity, and the innate requirement on scalability, knowledge on the evolution of mobile data dynamics is essential to the design and deployment of emerging data services and applications, such as Internet-of-Things, data/task offloading and edge-based machine learning/inference. This book is designed for researchers and advanced-level students in the field of wireless networking and edge computing, who seek to understand the models and evolutions of mobile data dynamics for future edge applications. Practitioners, who specialize in the design, operation and maintenance of edge computing systems will also want to purchase this book as a reference.

Time flies since the debut of this book. In the past ten years, localization technology has evolved from small saplings into towering trees. Robots and drones with autonomous positioning and navigation capabilities, once considered unreachable fantasies, have gradually become a reality. However, while we are being amazed at the groundbreaking changes brought about by technology, as researchers, we still need to remain acutely attentive to the current limitations of localization. Some significant challenges still impede the widespread deployment. For example, traditional Wi-Fi fingerprint-based wireless localization, due to various challenges in fingerprint database collection and maintenance, has remained stay in the laboratory, and even when using smartphones for localization in malls, we still cannot achieve the outdoor GPS-like experience. The list goes on and on. Against this backdrop, the reissue of this book aims to more comprehensively reflect the latest developments in localization technology. We have added introductions to emerging technologies such as passive high-precision localization based on wireless signal CSl and autonomous localization for smart devices. Additionally, we have integrated and further streamlined technical chapters that now appear outdated adapting to the pace of the times. This book aims to provide a comprehensive and in-depth view of location-awareness technology in today’s popular wireless networks. However, the obvious diversity of networks, from short-range Bluetooth to long-range telecommunication networks, makes it very challenging to organize materials. Although general principles exist, the implementation differs from network to network and application to application.
