Internet of Things for Sustainable Community Development: Wireless Communications, Sensing, and Systems
暫譯: 可持續社區發展的物聯網：無線通信、感測與系統

這本更新的書籍介紹了物聯網如何在塑造我們社區的未來中發揮作用的研究。作者展示了促進有影響力的解決方案導向科學的研究和教育生態系統，如何幫助公民、政府、產業及其他利益相關者協同合作，以便做出明智的、社會負責任的、基於科學的決策。作者還提供了更新的數據，說明社區如何應對複雜且相互關聯的社會環境挑戰。本書探討了環境、氣候變遷、採礦、能源、農業經濟、水資源和林業等領域的關鍵相互關聯挑戰，這些挑戰限制了可持續和有韌性社會的發展——這些挑戰都與基於物聯網的解決方案息息相關。
