Internet of Things (IoT) refers to physical and virtual objects that have unique identities and are connected to the internet to facilitate intelligent applications that make energy, logistics, industrial control, retail, agriculture and many other domains "smarter." Internet of Things is a new revolution of the Internet that is rapidly gathering momentum driven by the advancements in sensor networks, mobile devices, wireless communications, networking and cloud technologies. Experts forecast that by the year 2020 there will be a total of 50 billion devices/things connected to the internet. This book is written as a textbook on Internet of Things for educational programs at colleges and universities, and also for IoT vendors and service providers who may be interested in offering a broader perspective of Internet of Things to accompany their own customer and developer training programs. The typical reader is expected to have completed a couple of courses in programming using traditional high-level languages at the college-level, and is either a senior or a beginning graduate student in one of the science, technology, engineering or mathematics (STEM) fields. Like our companion book on Cloud Computing, we have tried to write a comprehensive book that transfers knowledge through an immersive "hands on" approach, where the reader is provided the necessary guidance and knowledge to develop working code for real-world IoT applications. Additional support is available at the book's website: www.internet-of-things-book.com The book is organized into 3 main parts, comprising of a total of 11 chapters. Part I covers the building blocks of Internet of Things (IoTs) and their characteristics. A taxonomy of IoT systems is proposed comprising of various IoT levels with increasing levels of complexity. Domain specific Internet of Things and their real-world applications are described. A generic design methodology for IoT is proposed. An IoT system management approach using NETCONF-YANG is described. Part II introduces the reader to the programming aspects of Internet of Things with a view towards rapid prototyping of complex IoT applications. We chose Python as the primary programming language for this book, and an introduction to Python is also included within the text to bring readers to a common level of expertise. We describe packages, frameworks and cloud services including the WAMP-AutoBahn, Xively cloud and Amazon Web Services which can be used for developing IoT systems. We chose the Raspberry Pi device for the examples in this book. Reference architectures for different levels of IoT applications are examined in detail. Case studies with complete source code for various IoT domains including home automation, smart environment, smart cities, logistics, retail, smart energy, smart agriculture, industrial control and smart health, are described. Part III introduces the reader to advanced topics on IoT including IoT data analytics and Tools for IoT. Case studies on collecting and analyzing data generated by Internet of Things in the cloud are described.

Caution can cause addiction
Style: Sport, Size: 12in
My dog has become addicted to tennis balls because of this! She sees the blue handle and she immediately loses her mind! I love it because I don't have to bend down as far to pick up the ball, which is amazing after 2 back surgeries.

12 " too short, no direction.
Style: Sport, Size: 12in
I got the twelve inch handle. It is too short and does not flex enough to release ball in right direction. Its almost impossible to aim and doesn't sent the ball far enough.

Great for heavy chewers! Belgian Malinois Approved!
Color: E) 8-Pack 2.5" Balls (Yellow)
I bought these 6 months ago because my dog kept loosing his Kong balls. These were such a better price ball (but still had good reviews) that I thought I would give them a try. They are wonderful. After six months of chewing and chasing and playing with a Belgian Malinois, the two that I’ve gotten out are still in great condition. The bright color makes them easier to find, so none have been permanently lost yet. They are bouncier and a little bit lighter weight compared to the Kong balls of the same size, which I honestly appreciate because my maligator likes to shoot them at my feet. So far the material seems high quality and I feel safe letting the dog chew on it for hours on end. The 8 pack was cheaper than 2 Kong balls. A great deal for a great product!!

Durable, high-bounce dog balls that hold up well to energetic play
Color: D) 4-Pack 3" Balls (Yellow)
The Chew King 3-inch rubber balls have been great for active play sessions. The rubber feels thick and durable, and the bounce is surprisingly lively compared to many standard dog balls. They’re the perfect size for medium to large dogs and are easy for dogs to carry, chase, and retrieve. After repeated games of fetch, the surface has held up well without cracking or losing its shape. One thing that stands out is how easy they are to clean. Dirt and slobber rinse off quickly, so they’re ready for the next round of play. The bright color also makes them easier to find in grass or bushes compared to darker toys. For longer life, it helps to supervise play if your dog is a very aggressive chewer, since these are designed more for fetch than constant chewing. Also, rotating toys every few days can keep dogs more engaged and extend the lifespan of each ball. Overall, this is a solid set of durable fetch balls that provide great bounce and reliable outdoor playtime fun.

toughest dog balls in the world
Color: E) 8-Pack 2.5" Balls (Yellow), Color: E) 8-Pack 2.5" Balls (Yellow)
best balls in the universe. I have a 70# pit bull and a 120# presa canaria. All the other balls I bought lasted maybe 3 weeks, I have had these for over a year and play with them and the dogs 5-6 days a week. They still look brand new, They seem like they will last a year or so and they are both serious chewers. A presa has a bite force od about 525psi, twice a pitty
