Introduction
Objectives |
COVID-19 pandemic has significantly changed our lives. Countries are introducing social distancing measures, including lockdown, to avoid the spread of infection. Organisations are implementing new ways of continuing their business by facilitating work from home and avoiding contacts using the Internet of Things (IoT) for remote monitoring. Schools and other educational institutes are implementing e-learning. Hospitals and health organisations are also using e-medicine and remote patient monitoring utilising Internet of Medical Things (IoMT). Online shopping, contactless delivery and virtual social events are becoming popular. Authorities are using sensors for contact tracing, traffic control and safety. Thanks to secure and reliable cloud infrastructure to make these applications possible. Cloud computing and IoT are becoming ever more essential in the post-COVID-19 era. However, security, privacy, reliability, sustainability, performance, user experience, power requirements, management and compliance are some of the challenges, cloud and IoT based applications are facing. Researchers, developers and practitioners need to develop solutions to address these challenges.
The primary objective of this book is to provide an account of the latest developments in IoT and cloud computing, and their practical applications in various industrial, scientific, business, education, and government domains in the post-COVID-19 era. The book also aims to identify challenges and their solutions, shaping the direction for future research and offer emerging topics to investigate further in the post-COVID-19 age. We expect the book to serve as a reference for a broader audience such as researchers, application designers, solution architects, teachers, graduate students, enthusiasts, practitioners, IT managers, decision-makers and policymakers.
