Internet of Things: Technologies, Architectures, Security, Governance, AI and Smart Applications

By Dr Mahalingam Palaniandi

Internet of Things: Technologies, Architectures, Security, Governance, AI and Smart Applications serves as a definitive, technically sound academic and professional reference for understanding, designing, and deploying IoT systems. Moving far beyond a simple overview of smart gadgets, this book delivers a systematic, multidisciplinary approach that brings together embedded systems, wireless protocols, cloud computing, data analytics, and robust cybersecurity frameworks.

Authored by Dr. Mahalingam Palaniandi, an academic and IT leader with over 30 years of experience, this comprehensive text bridges the gap between foundational theory and cutting-edge industry practice.

Inside this reference, you will explore:

IoT Foundations & Hardware: The evolution of IoT, physical layer mechanics, transducers, sensors, actuators, microcontrollers, and constrained device energy management.Architecture & System Design: A detailed breakdown of 3-layer, 5-layer, 7-layer, and 4-tier reference architectures, alongside an end-to-end system design methodology from prototyping to continuous deployment.Protocols & Communication: Comprehensive analysis of the IoT protocol stack including MQTT, CoAP, LoRaWAN, Zigbee, BLE, Wi-Fi, and 5G.Data Platforms & Advanced Analytics: Deep dives into data serialization, stream/batch processing, Lambda/Kappa architectures, Edge/Fog computing, time-series databases, and machine learning pipelines.Security, Privacy & Governance: Proactive strategies for mitigating attack surfaces, implementing secure boot, managing device lifecycles, and achieving compliance and data governance.The Future of AIoT: Forward-looking insights into Digital Twins, Edge AI, Blockchain integration, and Green IoT sustainability.

Whether you are a student navigating engineering foundations, an educator developing modern curricula, or a systems architect designing secure enterprise solutions, this book provides the step-by-step frameworks, protocol comparisons, and deployment roadmaps needed to navigate the evolving landscape of intelligent automation.
