Even bigger changes beckon with the Internet of Things promising to move the Internet from managing data to controlling the physical fabric of our lives in the form of buildings, transportation, factories and other physical environments. The sheer complexity of such visions, involving ecosystems comprising tens, hundreds or even thousands of collaborating embedded computers and people, is mind-boggling and represents major challenges to technology designers as to how to manage such systems, in ways that ensure people fully benefit from such technology. While there are various views for solutions to this challenge, this book is rooted i
