"Internet of Things is a vision where every object in the world has the potential to connect to the Internet and provide their data so as to derive actionable insights on its own or through other connected objects"
The object can be anything - a vehicle, machinery, airport, city, people, phone or even a shoe. From a connected vehicle solution, you can understand the driver behaviour and vehicle usage patterns, from a connected machines solution you can determine when do machines need servicing, from a connected airport solution you can understand many things like - how much time the passenger needs to wait for check-in and security, from an operating perspective it could help to optimize the passenger movement and ensure the right equipments are available at the right time to ensure quick serviceability and finally say, from a connected footwear solution you can understand how much you have run so far and your app can automatically purchase a new pair of shoes based on the remaining shoe life.
As we can see, it's not just about connectivity, but how to use the connected data in context of your application or for that matter other connected solutions to derive insights which can't be uncovered before. Today we are seeing data (both structured and unstructured) growing by leaps and bounds available through mediums like blogs, social media, transactional systems etc. With advent of IoT, you will see a large volume of raw data emitting from devices like sensors. Such huge and complex set of data, if not attended to, can go wasted and opportunity lost in terms of building smart environment around us. While focusing on issue of addressing this web of complexity, often understanding the real benefit of IoT is lost and most importantly how to get started on IoT.
In this book, our focus is to provide a clear vision on Internet of Things and everything you should know to get started on applying and building Enterprise IoT applications in any industry. The concepts listed down in the book are applicable across industries. Till date, it's difficult to find a single perspective of what does an Enterprise IoT stack actually mean and our intent is to provide an applicability guide that can be taken as reference for building any IoT application.
In the course of the book, we would describe some of the key components of Internet of Things through our Enterprise IoT stack. We would look at how to incrementally apply IoT transformations to build connected products in various industries. At the end, we would understand the technical strategy and how to build IoT applications using IoT cloud offerings from Microsoft, IBM, Amazon and Predix and even build one using open source technologies. To summarize, as part of the book we would cover the following -
* A detail overview of key components of Internet of Things and most comprehensive view of an Enterprise IoT stack.
* How to apply IoT in context of real world applications by covering detailed use cases on manufacturing, automotive and home automation.
* Understand the technical strategy and how to implement IoT applications using Microsoft, IBM , Amazon and GE Predix IoT offerings and various open source technologies and map it to our Enterprise IoT Stack.
* Includes a bonus chapter on Cognitive IoT and Cognitive IoT architecture.
第三版的《企業物聯網》書籍已於2016年3月7日發布。現在學習如何使用GE Predix雲平台開發物聯網應用程式。
這是一本最全面的指南，幫助您理解企業物聯網以及如何使用來自Microsoft、IBM、Amazon、GE Predix和開源軟體的物聯網雲服務來實現物聯網應用程式。

「物聯網是一種願景，世界上的每一個物體都有潛力連接到互聯網並提供其數據，以便獲得可行的見解，無論是通過自身還是其他連接的物體。」
物體可以是任何東西——一輛車、機械、機場、城市、人、電話甚至是一雙鞋。從連接的車輛解決方案中，您可以了解駕駛者的行為和車輛使用模式；從連接的機械解決方案中，您可以確定機械何時需要維護；從連接的機場解決方案中，您可以了解許多事情，例如乘客在登機和安檢時需要等待多長時間；從運營的角度來看，它可以幫助優化乘客的流動，並確保在正確的時間提供正確的設備以確保快速的服務；最後，從連接的鞋類解決方案中，您可以了解您目前已經跑了多少，並且您的應用程式可以根據剩餘的鞋子壽命自動購買一雙新鞋。
正如我們所見，這不僅僅是關於連接，而是如何在您的應用程式的上下文中使用連接的數據，或者說其他連接的解決方案，以獲得以前無法發現的見解。今天，我們看到數據（結構化和非結構化）以驚人的速度增長，通過博客、社交媒體、交易系統等媒介可用。隨著物聯網的興起，您將看到來自傳感器等設備的大量原始數據發出。如果不加以處理，這樣龐大而複雜的數據集可能會被浪費，並在建立我們周圍的智能環境方面失去機會。在專注於解決這種複雜性的問題時，往往會忽略物聯網的真正好處，最重要的是如何開始進行物聯網。
在本書中，我們的重點是提供一個清晰的物聯網願景，以及您應該知道的一切，以便開始在任何行業中應用和構建企業物聯網應用程式。書中列出的概念適用於各行各業。到目前為止，難以找到對企業物聯網堆疊的單一觀點，我們的目的是提供一個適用性指南，可以作為構建任何物聯網應用程式的參考。
在本書的過程中，我們將通過我們的企業物聯網堆疊描述一些物聯網的關鍵組件。我們將探討如何逐步應用物聯網轉型，以在各行各業中構建連接的產品。最後，我們將了解技術策略以及如何使用來自Microsoft、IBM、Amazon和Predix的物聯網雲服務構建物聯網應用程式，甚至使用開源技術構建一個。總結來說，作為本書的一部分，我們將涵蓋以下內容：
* 物聯網關鍵組件的詳細概述以及企業物聯網堆疊的最全面視圖。
* 如何在現實世界應用的上下文中應用物聯網，涵蓋製造、汽車和家庭自動化的詳細用例。
* 理解技術策略以及如何使用Microsoft、IBM、Amazon和GE Predix的物聯網服務及各種開源技術來實現物聯網應用程式，並將其映射到我們的企業物聯網堆疊。
* 包含一章關於認知物聯網和認知物聯網架構的獎勵章節。
