This book discusses the design and implementation of, as well as experimentation on, an open cross-layer framework and associated methodology to provide voluntary interoperability among heterogeneous Internet of Things (IoT) platforms. It allows readers to effectively and efficiently develop smart IoT applications for various heterogeneous IoT platforms, spanning single and/or multiple application domains. To do so, it provides an interoperable framework architecture for the seamless integration of different IoT architectures present in different application domains. In this regard, interoperability is pursued at various levels: device, network, middleware, services and data.

This edited book investigates the lack of interoperability in the IoT realm, including innovative research as well as technical solutions to interoperability, integration, and interconnection of heterogeneous IoT systems, at any level. It also explores issues caused by lack of interoperability such as impossibility to plug non-interoperable IoT devices into heterogeneous IoT platforms, impossibility to develop IoT applications exploiting multiple platforms in homogeneous and/or cross domains, slowness of IoT technology introduction at large-scale: discouragement in adopting IoT technology, increase of costs; scarce reusability of technical solutions and difficulty in meeting user satisfaction.

This book constitutes the refereed post-conference proceedings of the Third International Conference on Interoperability, InterIoT 2017, which was collocated with SaSeIoT 2017, and took place in Valencia, Spain, in November 2017. The 14 revised full papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 22 submissions and cover all aspects of the latest research findings in the area of Internet of Things (IoT).

In the midst of the current computing revolution, users demand ever-enhanced and reliable content delivery networks (CDNs) as a means to access the latest online video, news article, music, and or other information. These delivery networks have the potential to improve users' experiences and decrease network response time, while also allowing content providers to invest in a shared infrastructure at reduced cost. Next Generation Content Delivery Infrastructures delivers state-of-the-art research on current and future Internet-based content delivery networking topics, bringing to the forefront novel problems that demand investigation. This book opens up new perspectives in Internet technologies, raising new issues in the architecture, design, and implementation of existing CDNs.
