<p style="margin-top:9.0pt;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:0in;margin-left:15.0pt"><span style="font-family:Lato,sans-serif">Most recently, IoT applications have been
penetrating a wide range of applications, from lifestyle through retail and
healthcare, all the way to military. Yet, for a successful mainstream utilization
of this model, the IoT adoption challenges alongside the implementation details
of such applications should be explored more. This includes technical
issues such as hardware and software design/integration, network architecture
and communication/routing protocols, security, interoperability and data
management, as well as the relevant economic, social and sustainability considerations
that arise with the advent of such a distributive model. Addressing issues such
as governance, privacy and data protection regulations is also of high
importance for a true global approval of IoT.</span></p>

encourage researchers and practitioners to share their experiences and recent research
on the subject with both academia and industry. This book aims at building on
