Riassunto
Accelerating Digital Transformation with the Cloud and the Internet of Things (IoT) is a reference for IT engineers and decision-makers who may engage in IoT platform pilot projects. The resources covered in this book help establish plans for sustainable operations and management and assist with the long-term procurement of relevant IoT technologies. The aim of the book is to be exhaustive and holistic by pointing out numerous issues and related solution options that guide with daily challenges when deploying and running IoT platforms.
The book is divided into three parts where each part includes relevant theoretical chapters and applied case studies. Part One focuses on architectural and federation options for the design and implementation of IoT platforms that foster strategic collaboration opportunities. Part Two addresses vertical security challenges across IoT platform layers. Finally, Part Three shows how IoT is driving the digital transformation wheel through existing and forthcoming case studies.

Yacine Atif is a Professor at Skovde University in Sweden since January 2016. He received a PhD degree in Computer Science from Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) in 1996. After graduation, he worked at Purdue University in USA as a Post-Doc and then joined a faculty position at Nanyang Technological University (NTU) in Singapore. Since 1999 he was affiliated with UAE University as a faculty, then Program Chair of Enterprise Systems at the College of Information Technology. bringing together ideas of educational design and architectural abstractions used in software engineering. He focuses on the evolution of smart cities induced by the emergence of Internet of Things technologies. More specifically, he investigates IoT platform models in urban informatics and install new competences for digital smart citizens. He has 25 years of academic publishing experience in Computer Science subjects, with focus on technical aspects related to Internet evolutions that support sustainable digital developments. I worked on innovative smart environment projects (e.g., smart-parking, smart-campus, smart-energy, smart-city, etc.), as well as related cybersecurity issues that could hamper these developments. I strive to empower smart- citizenship through education and research publications to facilitate sustainable transitions.
