Internet of Things. IoT Infrastructures

The two-volume set LNICST 150 and 151 constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference proceedings of the First International Internet of Things Summit, IoT360 2014, held in Rome, Italy, in October 2014.

This volume contains 30 revised full papers carefully reviewed and selected from 51 submissions at the following three conferences: the First International Conference on Mobility and Smart Cities, Mobility IoT 2014; the First International Conference on Software-Defined and Virtualized Future Wireless Networks, SDWN 2014; and the First International Conference on Safety and Security in Internet of Things, SaSeIot 2014. This volume also includes 13 special contributions from recognized experts. The papers in this volume are dedicated to infrastructure-based solutions that will support the deployment of IoT services and applications in the future. They cover the following topics: sustainable solutions to the mobility and smart cities agenda; software defined techniques for supporting more flexible use of wireless and wireless sensor networks; opportunities and risks related to the safety and security in the IoT domain.
