Preface
Advancements in digital technology have brought about revolutionary changes to our lives. These changes are enabled by interconnected devices driven by the Internet of Things (IoT) and Cloud computing, which allow resource sharing on platforms for storage, management and further analysis. The IoT is a novel computing platform that has virtually interconnected a variety of physical objects, empowering them to interchange data and services with less human interaction. Such technology is thought to fuse the physical world with the digital world. On that note, cloud computing is promising for its off-loading storage as well as third party computing capability, which seem to grow exponentially. So, on one hand the ubiquitous smart devices and gadgets have become the foremost aspect of computing and on the other hand the integration of cloud computing with the IoT has amended the computing scheme. The assimilation of cloud computing with IoT, also known as Cloud-IoT, has proven potential for enhancement of the quality of human life and the efficient utilization of resources for smart homes, cities, education, healthcare, banking, industry and grids among others. Moreover, Cloud-IoT technology also benefits from the competence of big data and its analytical facilities.
So, its encroachment upon our lives due to the explosion of such technology and the increasing use of smart devices enabling autosensing, communication, activation and classification capabilities, have enabled the integration of the IoT with cloud computing, which in turn has increased the number of research topics in different fields. Along with these two technologies, Fog computing has also gained popularity in the field of smart cities, smart transportation, smart grids, manufacturing and healthcare, improving the availability of information storage, computation capability as well as networking services between machines and data centers.
With the above facts in mind, the main purpose of this book is to present a detailed overview of the state-of-the-art in Cloud-IoT and its foundations, analytics and applications, as well as to address various security and privacy challenges facing the use of this technology. Our key intention is to discover potential research directions and provide a reference for researchers, students and practitioners in areas relating to the IoT, cloud computing and fog computing; and smooth the way towards progress in the field by providing insight into the use of these technologies in diversified fields of science and areas of application.

Abstract
The emergence of the Internet of Things (IoT) finds its footprints in many vivid application domains such as Cognitive Science, Artificial Intelligence, Mobile-first, Blockchain, Biomedical Engineering, Immersive Experience, Zettabyte Era, Micro-service Architecture, Robotic Process, 3D Alteration, Automation, Quantum Computing, etc. These trending technologies are likely to rule the future world in the coming years and make it a must for the industries, and academia. It will arguably change our perception of living by connecting everybody and almost everything placed anywhere in this world. It has recently found its presence in everyday human life connecting a host of home appliances such as the refrigerators, washing machines, microwaves, water taps, clocks, homewares, and even the cooking vessels or pots. It is difficult to imagine things or appliances without the IoT we use today. However, to maintain sustainability, these devices need to be economically viable, ecofriendly, and energy-efficient. This motivates the authors to coin the concept of IoT and its application domains in the current scenario and the way ahead.
