Foreword

More than 7 years ago I started working in the field of the Internet of Things (IoT), even if I did not know exactly what it was meant for, and probably nobody knew at that time, as this novel concept had still to find the exact definition and role. Nonetheless, I was fascinated by the fact that the real world could have virtual representation allowing for the realization of an unimaginable range of possible applications for the benefit of the people quality of life. Like many other colleagues, we imagined IoT as a solution to integrate a large number of heterogeneous and pervasive objects with different connecting and computing capa
