IoT Architecture 2.0 for Agile Digital Transformation: A Practical Guide to Designing Secure, Smarter Internet of Things Solutions in the AI Era - Tapa blanda

Sinopsis

The convergence of the Internet of Things, Artificial Intelligence, Edge & Cloud Services has unlocked new possibilities for businesses, governments, and society.
What once seemed experimental or futuristic has now become a strategic necessity. This book offers a practical and nuanced perspective for architects and decision-makers who want to design secure, resilient, scalable, and intelligent systems built on the foundation of IoT but reimagined for the AI era.

IoT is no longer a niche technology limited to isolated sensors or industrial use cases. It has evolved into a flexible and adaptive foundation for digital transformation. Devices are smaller, cheaper, and smarter.
Edge platforms now process data at lightning speed. AI models integrate with IoT networks to extract actionable insights in real time. But these opportunities come with new risks, design challenges, and architectural complexities. How do we design systems that are not only functional but secure, ethical, adaptable, and future-ready?

This new edition builds on the original 2019 guide, preserving its timeless architectural foundations while expanding it to reflect the seismic shifts that have occurred since.

What This Edition Covers

Part I - The Foundation revisits and updates the original architectural pillars: security, availability, performance, agility, and cost-effectiveness, providing well-proven and action-oriented recommendations. The principles remain as relevant now as they were in 2019. I offer clarity as technologies continue to evolve. Practical frameworks, solution blueprints, and system examples are revised to reflect updated risks, stakeholder expectations, and deployment patterns.

Part II - The Evolution focuses on how solution architects can address the expanded responsibilities of modern digital transformation, such as:

• Agile architecture principles for iterative and stakeholder-driven design
• AI-enhanced decision layers within IoT systems
• Edge computing patterns and cross-domain integration
• Continuous trust and zero-trust security models
• Chaos engineering for reliability in unpredictable environments
• Environmental, ethical, and regulatory design considerations
• Industry examples from manufacturing, healthcare, smart cities, retail, and energy

Central to business innovation and operational intelligence, this book is ideal for solution architects in IoT-centric platforms. However, its content also benefits:

• Enterprise architects, systems engineers, cloud practitioners
• CTOs, CIOs, CDOs, digital transformation leaders
• Product managers involved in smart design or industrial innovation
• Senior consultants working across cloud & AI domains
• Advanced students in engineering, data science, & architecture programs seeking industry-informed frameworks

If you are designing a smart building, a predictive maintenance solution for manufacturing, or enabling edge AI in healthcare, this book equips you with the principles, patterns, and perspectives to succeed.

This book differs in that it:

• Combines timeless design wisdom with forward-looking innovation
• Based on real-world implementation, not just theoretical models
• Written by an architect with decades of experience across enterprise, cloud, and digital transformation projects
• Contains visual models, practical checklists, and frameworks you can apply immediately
• Is neutral to vendor ecosystems, allowing flexibility for any platform or toolset

While smart devices outnumber people and AI augments every touchpoint, IoT architecture is no longer a background task. This book is both a map and a compass for those who build what comes next.
