This book covers state of the art interdisciplinary research on key disruptive and interrelated technologies such as Big Data, Edge computing, IoT and Cloud computing. The authors address the challenges from a distributed system perspective, with clear contributions in theory and applications. Real-world case studies look at the integration of these technologies in healthcare, disaster management, smart grids, and other areas. The book covers vital topics including devices and sensing; cloud and edge Infrastructure; big data processing; application resource management; and privacy and security.

This handbook covers recent advances in the integration of three areas, namely, cloud computing, cyber-physical systems, and the Internet of things which is expected to have a tremendous impact on our daily lives. It contains a total of thirteen peer-reviewed and edited chapters. This book covers topics such as context-aware cyber-physical systems, sustainable cloud computing, fog computing, and cloud monitoring; both the theoretical and practical aspects belonging to these topics are discussed. All the chapters also discuss open research challenges in the areas mentioned above. Finally, the handbook presents three use cases regarding healthcare, smart buildings and disaster management to assist the audience in understanding how to develop next-generation IoT- and cloud-enabled cyber-physical systems. This timely handbook is edited for students, researchers, as well as professionals who are interested in the rapidly growing fields of cloud computing, cyber-physical systems, and the Internet of things.
