This Open Access Pivot explores these challenges, presenting the state of the art and future directions for research but also frameworks for making sense of this complex area. This book provides a variety of perspectives on how technology innovations such as fog, edge and dew computing, 5G networks, and distributed intelligence are making us rethink conventional cloud computing to support the Internet of Things. Much of this book focuses on technical aspects of the Internet of Things, however, clear methodologies for mapping the business value of the Internet of Things are still missing. We provide a value mapping framework for the Internet of Things to address this gap. While there is much hype about the Internet of Things, we have yet to reach the tipping point. As such, this book provides a timely entrÄ› for higher education educators, researchers and students, industry and policy makers on the technologies that promise to reshape how society interacts and operates UR - https://library.oapen.org/bitstream/id/d3acb43e-fcfe-4f05-88a5-0a4aeff9ea63/2020_Book_TheCloud-to-ThingContinuum.pdf UR - https://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/39982 ER -
