The IoT topology defines the way various components communicate with each other within a network. Topologies can vary greatly in terms of security, power consumption, cost, and complexity. Optimizing the IoT topology for different applications and requirements can help to boost the network's performance and save costs. More importantly, optimizing the topology robustness can ensure security and prevent network failure at the foundation level. In this context, this book examines the optimization schemes for topology robustness in the IoT, helping readers to construct a robustness optimization framework, from self-organizing to intelligent networking. The book provides the relevant theoretical framework and the latest empirical research on robustness optimization of IoT topology. Starting with the self-organization of networks, it gradually moves to genetic evolution. It also discusses the application of neural networks and reinforcement learning to endow the node with self-learning ability to allow intelligent networking. This book is intended for students, practitioners, industry professionals, and researchers who are eager to comprehend the vulnerabilities of IoT topology. It helps them to master the research framework for IoT topology robustness optimization and to build more efficient and reliable IoT topologies in their industry.

This book constitutes the refereed post-conference proceedings of the 13th International Conference on Quality, Reliability, Security and Robustness in Heterogeneous Networks, QShine 2017, held in Dalian, China, in December 2017. The 25 revised full papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 43 submissions. The papers are organized thematically in tracks, starting with mobile and wireless networks, quality and reliability, wireless networking algorithms and protocols, and smart applications.
