Industry pushes a new type of Internet characterized as the Internet of Things, which represents a fusion of the physical and digital worlds. The technology of the Internet of Things opens new horizons for industrial automation, that is, automated monitoring, control, maintenance planning, and so forth, of industrial resources and processes. Internet of Things definitely needs explicit semantics, even more than the traditional Web—for automatic discovery and interoperability among heterogeneous devices and also to facilitate the behavioral coordination of the components of complex physical-digital systems. In this chapter, the authors describe their work towards the Global Understanding Environment (GUN), a general middleware framework aimed at providing means for building complex industrial systems consisting of components of different nature, based on the semantic and the agent technologies. The authors present the general idea and some emergent issues of GUN and describe the current state of the GUN realization in the UBIWARE platform. As a specific concrete case, they use the domain of distributed power network maintenance. In collaboration with the ABB Company, we have developed a simple prototype and vision of potential add-value this domain could receive from introducing semantic and agent technologies, and GUN framework in particular.

The use of the Internet of Things (IoT) has been widely developed in various fields of technology application. Using IoT can make it easier to build robust industrial systems and applications and provide visualization for the safety of industrial employees by taking advantage of the increasing number of radio frequencies, wireless devices, mobile devices and sensors. In understanding the development of IoT in the industry, the paper reviews the latest IoT research, a survey that compares the use of IoT from several existing papers, the main applications of IoT in the industry, and identifies trends and research challenges. The main contribution of this survey paper is to systematically summarize the current state of IoT in the industry.

This paper discusses the organisations involved in the development of application standards, European regulations and best practice guides, their scope of work and internal structures. It considers their respective visions for the requirements for future standardisation work and considers in more detail those areas where these overlap, namely human centric or integrative lighting, connectivity and the Internet of Things, inclusivity and sustainability.

Accompanying the advent of wireless networking and the Internet of Things (IoT), traditional augmented reality (AR) systems to visualize virtual 3D models of the real world are evolving into smart and interactive AR related to the context of things for physical objects. We propose the integration of AR and IoT in a complementary way, making AR scalable to cover objects everywhere with an acceptable level of performance and interacting with IoT in a more intuitive manner. We identify three key components for realizing such a synergistic integration: (1) distributed and object-centric data management (including for AR services); (2) IoT object-guided tracking; (3) seamless interaction and content interoperability. We survey the current state of these respective areas and herein discuss research on issues about realizing a future smart and interactive living environment.

The article analyzes problems in the market of defense and investment engineering products by Russian enterprises. Factors that influence the optimal structure of the production process as a single chain of interaction were studied. Economic business effects of digitalization, advantages and disadvantages were considered. The main expected benefit of digitalization and introduction of the Internet of Things is that the leading global manufacturers of engineering products are still in the initial stage of transition to the creation of Industrie 4.0 products, which will allow them to take the lead in the emerging market of the engineering generation.

In this paper we discuss the Internet of Things (IoT) and industrial systems automation approach application for development a prototype of an autonomous beekeeping system. In this research we focus on one of the Arrowhead Framework core systems named the Event Handler system. MQTT service broker being a part of autonomous beekeeping system demonstrates the services provided by the Event Handler System. The proposed services broker applies a visual data flow programming approach. A Node-RED is used to prove viability and advantages of offered architecture implemented in a local automation cloud of autonomous beekeeping System of Systems. The autonomous beekeeping system’ prototype provides useful data on beehives and bee apiary status (internal and ambient temperature, humidity, weight of the hives, etc.) to the system users, so they can evaluate the hive status and take further action.

This chapter introduces malware's threat in the internet of things (IoT) and then analyzes the mitigation methods against the threat. In September 2016, Brian Krebs' web site “Krebs on Security” came under a massive distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack. It reached twice the size of the largest attack in history. This attack was caused by a new type of malware called Mirai. Mirai primarily targets IoT devices such as security cameras and wireless routers. IoT devices have some properties which make them malware attack's targets such as large volume, pervasiveness, and high vulnerability. As a result, a DDoS attack launched by infected IoT devices tends to become massive and disruptive. Thus, the threat of Mirai is an extremely important issue. Mirai has been attracting a great deal of attention since its birth. This resulted in a lot of information related to IoT malware. Most of them came from not academia but industry represented by antivirus software makers. This chapter summarizes such information.

The internet of things (IoT), also called internet of all, is a new paradigm that combines several technologies such as computers, the internet, sensors network, radio frequency identification (RFID), communication technology and embedded systems to form a system that links the real worlds with digital worlds. With an increase in the deployment of smart objects, the internet of things should have a significant impact on human life in the near future. To understand the development of the IoT, this paper reviews the current research of the IoT, key technologies, the main applications of the IoT in various fields, and identifies research challenges. A main contribution of this review article is that it summarizes the current state of the IoT technology in several areas, and also the applications of IoT that cause side effects on our environment for monitoring and evaluation of the impact of human activity on the environment around us, and also provided an overview of some of the main challenges and application of IoT. This article presents not only the problems and challenges of IoT, but also solutions that help overcome some of the problems and challenges.

World agriculture faces the challenge of increasing its agricultural production by 50% from 2012 to 2050, while reducing water consumption as agriculture accounts for 69% of all fresh water used on the planet. Given this scenario, the use of technologies such as the Internet of Things, Big Data, cyber-physical systems, among others, in the agricultural environment is increasingly necessary to ensure an increase in productivity and a decrease in the consumption of natural resources, thus the concept of smart farm emerges. Within this context, a digital twin for an irrigation system was developed in this work using the simulation software for discrete events integrated within an Internet of Things platform. The digital twin allows an exchange of information between the physical world and the digital world automatically, enabling the farmer to assess the current state of his irrigation system, validate the behavior of the given irrigation recommendation and execute this validated irrigation recommendation. The communication between the various components of the Internet of Things platform and the software was applied to evaluate only the digital part of the digital twin. In this way, it is possible to evaluate the correct functioning of the platform and the irrigation system through the digital model before implanting the platform and the system in the field. It is estimated that after the implantation of the platform and the system in the field it would still be possible to monitor its behavior over time, thus allowing a digital twin for an irrigation system to be functional during an entire harvest
