Cognitive (Internet of) Things: Collaboration to Optimize Action

This book explores cognitive behavior among Internet of Things.  Using a series of current and futuristic examples – appliances, personal assistants, robots, driverless cars, customer care, engineering, monetization, and many more – the book covers use cases, technology and communication aspects of how machines will support individuals and organizations. 

This book examines the Cognitive Things covering a number of important questions:

•      What are Cognitive Things?  

•      What applications can be driven from Cognitive Things – today and tomorrow?

•      How will these Cognitive Things collaborate with each and other, with individuals and with organizations?

•      How will the Cognitive Things support or accelerate human problem solving?

•      Which technical components make up cognitive behavior?

•      How does it redistribute the work-load between humans and machines?

•      What types of data can be collected from them and shared with external organizations?

•      How do they recognize and authenticate authorized users?  How is the data safeguarded from potential theft?  Who owns the data and how are the data ownership rights enforced?
