With the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), the past two decades have seen a proliferation of Assistive Technology (AT) and its enabling impact on the lives of people with disabilities in the areas of accessing information, communication, and daily living activities. Due to recent emergence of the Internet of Things (IoT), the fields of rehabilitation, healthcare, and education are challenged to incorporate the IoT applications into current AT services. While IoT applications continue to be developed and integrated into AT, they are still at a primitive stage where clear guidelines are yet to be developed and benefits are yet to be substantiated to ensure the quality of lives of people with disabilities. This chapter provides an overview of the IoT and AT integrated applications based on the building blocks of the IoT, along with recent trends and issues relevant to accessing technology for people with disabilities.


A Smart Cities focuses on the way we live. Smart governments are also acknowledged as augmentations of electronic governments based on the Internet of Things (IoT). There are many existing challenges in the environment such as, research in gadgets, framework and programming etc. Particularly, the Smart Cities are facing difficulties with IoT frameworks, systems administration, independent registration, wearable sensors, gadgets and systematization of aggregates including human beings as well as programming specialists. This paper incorporates role of Smart Cities in various domains such as smart infrastructure, smart building, smart security and so on. Moreover, the work depicts the IoT technologies for Smart Cities and the primary components along with the features of Smart Cities. This paper is based on technologies for Smart Cities which will benefit citizens by facilitating a platform for integrating all the resources and prompt communication of information. Furthermore, merits, demerits and main challenges of Smart Cities are discussed.

This chapter explores patterns and recent trends in meeting attendance at four standard development organizations (SDO): 3GPP, IETF, IEEE 802.11, and One M2M. Average meeting attendance has slightly increased over the last two decades. It is rare for individuals to attend meetings in different SDOs. IETF has the least attendee overlap with other SDOs and the lowest attendee affiliation concentration. Nevertheless, 3GPP attendance has become more diverse and IETF attendance more concentrated. The affiliations of attendees of 3GPP and IETF have become more similar over time while OneM2M attendance has become more distinct from other SDOs. IEEE 802.11 attendance has become significantly less diverse since 2007. Until 2014, there was a significant convergence with 3GPP. Since 2014, this trend has reversed, and attendance at IEEE 802.11 has become more similar to IETF. The author explores implications of the described evidence for differences between telecommunications and internet standardization, companies' standardization strategies, and consequences of the patent policy change at IEEE.
