Reliability and Resilience in the Internet of Things
Advances in Reliability Science Series

Reliability and Resilience in the Internet of Things explains the latest advances in reliability and resilience modeling, analysis, and design techniques for Internet of Things (IoT) systems. Over the last decade, IoT has developed rapidly, and it now spans diverse application domains such as healthcare, home automation, smart manufacturing, smart ocean, and smart agriculture. Due to the critical nature of these applications, it is imperative that the IoT systems operate reliably throughout the intended mission time. This timely book provides state-of the-art coverage on IoT reliability and resilience modeling, analysis, and design methods and solutions to help prevent costly malfunctions. From the viewpoint of engineers, researchers, and developers, reliability analysis and resilience design are key to the deployment and operation of IoT systems in critical applications, and this book contains the best advice on the subject available. It is a valuable resource for researchers in academia and industry interested in smart IoT systems and Industry 4.0.
