Internet of Things

Introduction

The development of connected and communicating objects has not stopped progressing as more and more objects are available in the market. This evolution of the Internet of Things (IoT) is creating more fields to be explored by the information and communication sciences, and renewing the risks of these new technological and digital changes in a “hyperconnected” world, via various connected objects (hyperobjects), which often have a dual capability: being connected and/or communicating while all the while carrying the expectation that they respond to user needs that are more and more demanding regarding services, communication and information.

The Internet of Things refers to these new objects/services, which are only a logical extension of the physical world into the digital world (hyperobject), and which generate a large amount of information, just as they receive it.

This work will present a collection of analyses, reflections and products/prototypes of connected/communicating objects (hyperobjects) as well as the prospect of studies and experimentation that these objects offer in the area of information and communication sciences. The data generated by these objects falls within the domain of Big Data, another related topic. Some texts are expanded and updated versions of texts from the International H2PTM Conference.

In the first chapter, the author Nasreddine Bouhaï defines the subject of the Internet of Things (IoT) and presents an overview of concrete examples ...
