Internet of Things. User-Centric IoT

The two-volume set LNICST 150 and 151 constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference proceedings of the First International Internet of Things Summit, IoT360 2014, held in Rome, Italy, in October 2014.

This volume contains 74 full papers carefully reviewed and selected from 118 submissions at the following four conferences: the First International Conference on Cognitive Internet of Things Technologies, COIOTE 2014; the First International Conference on Pervasive Games, PERGAMES 2014; the First International Conference on IoT Technologies for HealthCare, HealthyIoT 2014; and the First International Conference on IoT as a Service, IoTaaS 2014. The papers cover the following topics: user-centric IoT; artificial intelligence techniques for the IoT; the design and deployment of pervasive games for various sectors, such as health and wellbeing, ambient assisted living, smart cities and societies, education, cultural heritage, and tourism; delivery of electronic healthcare; patient care and medical data management; smart objects; networking considerations for IoT; platforms for IoTaaS; adapting to the IoT environment; modeling IoTaaS; machine to machine support in IoT.
