Introduction
Over the past decade, the Internet of Things (IoT) has become increasingly prevalent in diverse areas, including industry, agriculture, lifestyle, healthcare, and even military applications. Every day, new IoT technologies and applications continue to emerge. However, for the IoT to be efficiently adopted, it is crucial to keep up with the recent technological advancements and understand the associated challenges. Moreover, it is important to examine the social and sustainability aspects that arise from introducing such a disruptive model. Additionally, ensuring governance measures are in place while prioritizing privacy and compliance with data protection regulations is essential for gaining global acceptance of the IoT. The goal of this project is to encourage researchers and practitioners to share their experiences and recent work on the subject matter. This book aims to analyze the state-of-the-art of IoT and its evolution over time. It will explore recent developments as well as challenges that have emerged (or persisted) over the years. Moreover, the book will explore ways in which technologies like 5G, edge computing, blockchain, artificial intelligence, big data, digital twins, and VR/AR intersect with IoT. The book will also feature real-world examples of IoT implementations that offer valuable perspectives for both academia and industry.

Objectives
-To address IoT challenges and implementation issues.
-To explore the emerging trends in the IoT.
-To highlight and discuss the recent developments and technological advances in IoT.
-To propose new models and practical solutions for IoT.
-To present case studies and innovative applications of IoT.

Readership
This book is tailored for graduate students, academics, and researchers engaged in the study of IoT, computer science, networks and telecom engineering, distributed computing, applied sciences, and business innovation. Additionally, it serves as a valuable resource for industry professionals and policymakers engaged in the implementation and regulation of IoT projects.
