Smart objects are small computers embedded in objects such as car engines, thermostats, and machinery. They are typically made up of three components: a CPU, memory, and a low-power communication device. The size is small and the price is low. During the past 5+ years, many proprietary protocols and architectures have been developed that have allowed smart computing to become a reality. IP is radically and rapidly changing the situation - this book explains the how and why of it. The many technological aspects of wireless sensing technology (operating systems, networking protocols, etc.) are covered before concluding with coverage devoted to the major applications of smart computing, i.e., smart grid (energy management, etc.), industrial automation, smart cities and urban networks, building and home automation, structural system health (buildings, bridges, etc.), and other machine-to-machine traffic sensing.

Jean-Philippe Vasseur is a Distinguished Engineer at Cisco Systems. He is the co-chair of the ROLL working group in the IETF and the chair of technology advisory board in the IP for Smart Objects (IPSO) Alliance. JP Vasseur has co-authored a number of RFCs on IP routing, MPLS, Traffic Engineering and Smart Object networks. Adam Dunkels, PhD, is a senior researcher at the Swedish Institute of Computer Science. He is the well-known author of the Contiki operating system, and the uIP and lwIP embedded IP stacks. In 2009, MIT Technology Review named him a Top 35 Innovator under 35, for his work on IP for smart objects.
"JP Vasseur and Adam Dunkels have written an important and timely guide to the rapidly developing field of smart technologies and the Internet. This book provides a clear picture of key technical issues that are useful to both the expert and layman. As we continue to build out the smart grid, the 'electric internet,' I predict this book will become required reading for electric utility smart grid teams." - David Mohler, Senior Vice President and Chief Technology Officer, Duke Energy "As the CEO of my company, I have read it with pleasure and will transfer it to all engineers in my company in charge of developing IP V6 applications." - Paul Bertrand, Board member and founder of IPSO (IP for Smart Objects), Creator and Chairman at Watteco "The authors of this book offer a rich and thoughtful exploration of this new Internet canvas on which the 21st Century will unfold. Prediction will be hard; we are all just going to have to live through it to find out what happens!" - Vinton Cerf, Internet Pioneer
