Using the Web to Build the IoT
The Internet of Things offers us an internet that is becoming more than just a mass of multimedia content. The IoT extends into the physical, real-time world using a myriad of tiny computers. It's a system of physical objects that can be discovered, monitored, controlled, and interacted with by electronic devices that communicate over various networking interfaces and can be connected to the wider internet. Using the Web to Build the IoT is a collection of six hand-picked chapters that introduce the key technologies and concepts for building the application layer of the IoT. Dominique D. Guinard and Vlad Trifa, authors of Building the Web of Things, selected these specific topics to give you an overview of the Web of Things architecture, along with techniques for data ingestion, searching, security, and visualization. Plus, you'll get a sample of some other Manning books you may want to add to your library. ...

Reactive Data Handling
We depend on web applications to be highly-available and to provide us with up-to-the-second data. This shift toward real-time data processing is also a key aspect of the Internet of Things, which the Gartner Group predicts by 2020 will include 26 billion actively-connected physical devices sending, receiving, and processing streams. That's a lot of data. The reactive application architecture is an answer to the requirements of high availability and resource efficiency. Reactive Data Handling is a collection of five hand-picked chapters introducing you to building reactive applications capable of handling real-time processing with large data loads. Manuel Bernhardt, author of Reactive Web Applications , selected these chapters to show you how reactive application architecture solves real-time data demands. You'll start with the high-level architecture of reactive applications and then look at low-level practical aspects. After you read these chapters, you'll understand the benefits ...

Block Trace Analysis and Storage System Optimization
Understand the fundamental factors of data storage system performance and master an essential analytical skill using block trace via applications such as MATLAB and Python tools. You will increase your productivity and learn the best techniques for doing specific tasks (such as analyzing the IO pattern in a quantitative way, identifying the storage system bottleneck, and designing the cache policy). In the new era of IoT, big data, and cloud systems, better performance and higher density of storage systems has become crucial. To increase data storage density, new techniques have evolved and hybrid and parallel access techniques - together with specially designed IO scheduling and data migration algorithms - are being deployed to develop high-performance data storage solutions. Among the various storage system performance analysis techniques, IO event trace analysis (block-level trace analysis particularly) is one of the most common approaches for system optimization and design.
