Internet of Things (IoT)
The term IoT, which was first proposed by Kevin Ashton, a British technologist, in 1999 has the potential to impact everything from new product opportunities to shop floor optimization to factory worker efficiency gains, that will power top-line and bottom-line gains. As IoT technology is being put to diversified use, the current technology needs to be improved to enhance privacy and built secure devices by adopting a security-focused approach, reducing the amount of data collected, increasing transparency and providing consumers with a choice to opt out. Therefore, the current volume has been compiled, in an effort to draw the various issues in IoT, challenges faced and existing solutions so far.Key Points:• Provides an overview of basic concepts and technologies of IoT with communication technologies ranging from 4G to 5G and its architecture.• Discusses recent security and privacy studies and social behavior of human beings over IoT.• Covers the issues related to sensors, business model, principles, paradigms, green IoT and solutions to handle relevant challenges.• Presents the readers with practical ideas of using IoT, how it deals with human dynamics, the ecosystem, the social objects and their relation.• Deals with the challenges involved in surpassing diversified architecture, protocol, communications, integrity and security.

IoT Cybersecurity
Internet of Things (IoT) systems create a massive attack surface with billions of connected devices that often have weak default credentials and limited security capabilities, making them easy targets for cybercriminals to exploit at scale. Compromised IoT devices can serve as entry points for attackers to access valuable network resources, steal sensitive personal and business data, or launch large‑scale botnet attacks that disrupt critical infrastructure. Without proper security measures, IoT vulnerabilities can lead to serious consequences, including operational disruptions, safety hazards in critical systems like healthcare and transportation, and significant financial and legal penalties from regulatory noncompliance. IoT Cybersecurity: Trends, Challenges, and Solutions addresses the significant knowledge gap between rapidly deployed connected devices and understanding their unique security challenges. Highlights include:An efficient lightweight cryptography technique for enhancing IoT securityMachine learning approaches for IoT network threat detection and security optimizationUsing AI to enhance IoT-based intrusion detection systemsA study on emerging threats and vulnerabilitiesThis book presents research and insights into practice that explore security holes and effective solutions in the realm of IoT cybersecurity. Covering the evolving threat landscape in IoT environments, it sheds light on the intricacies of cybersecurity patterns and addresses the challenges that arise. This book is a resource offering innovative solutions, research findings, case studies, and practical insights related to securing IoT ecosystems.

Probabilistic Methods for Structural Design
This book contains contributions from various authors on different important topics related with probabilistic methods used for the design of structures. Initially several of the papers were prepared for advanced courses on structural reliability or on probabilistic methods for structural design. These courses have been held in different countries and have been given by different groups of lecturers. They were aimed at engineers and researchers who already had some exposure to structural reliability methods and thus they presented overviews of the work in the various topics. The book includes a selection of those contributions, which can be of support for future courses or for engineers and researchers that want to have an update on specific topics. It is considered a complement to the existing textbooks on structural reliability, which normally ensure the coverage of the basic topics but then are not extensive enough to cover some more specialised aspects. In addition to the contributions drawn from those lectures there are several papers that have been prepared specifically for this book, aiming at complementing the others in providing an overall account of the recent advances in the field. It is with sadness that in the meanwhile we have seen the disappearance of two of the contributors to the book and, in fact two of the early contributors to this field.
