Introduction
The new paradigms and tremendous advances in computing, communications and control have provided and supported wide range of applications in all domains of live, in particular, bridging the physical components and the cyber space leading to the smart Internet of Things (IoT). As a result, several smart protocols and algorithms are needed to communicate IoT devices and exchange data between them. Smart communication protocols and algorithms make use of several methods and techniques in order to achieve reliable and efficient communication in several recent applications. This include, machine learning, decision making, knowledge representation, network management, network optimization, problem solution techniques, adaptive methods, and smart algorithms and protocols. Smart protocols and algorithms are usually used in order to perform adaptive decisions and take smart actions based on learning form the environment of operation. The notion of IoT has extraordinary significance for the future of several industrial domains and hence, it is expected that the complexity in the design of IoT applications will continue to increase due to the integration of several cyber components with physical and industrial systems. This book will present a comprehensive reference on the state of the art and recent advances in this area, given the recent amount of publications in this topic.
