Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Are you looking to understand how modern systems process data instantly, closer to where it is generated Curious about how distributed infrastructure is evolving to support real-time applications without relying entirely on centralized environments This book is written with those exact questions in mind.Edge computing is no longer a niche concept. It is shaping how applications are built, deployed, and scaled across industries. But with that shift comes complexity. How do you design systems that are both responsive and reliable How do you balance performance with cost and operational simplicity And most importantly, how do you build architectures that can grow without becoming unmanageable This handbook provides clear, practical answers grounded in real engineering principles. It walks you through the foundations of distributed edge systems and explains how real-time processing works in environments where latency, bandwidth, and reliability cannot be taken for granted.Inside, you will explore: - core architectural principles that define modern edge systems and how they differ from traditional cloud-centric designs- real-time data processing strategies that reduce latency and improve system responsiveness- scalable infrastructure patterns designed to support growth without sacrificing stability- practical system design approaches for handling intermittent connectivity and resource constraints- security and reliability techniques to protect distributed environments operating outside controlled data centers- performance optimization methods that ensure efficient use of limited compute and network resourcesEach section is written to help you not just understand concepts, but apply them. Whether you are designing new systems or improving existing ones, the explanations focus on clarity, practicality, and real-world relevance.Are you a backend engineer trying to build faster, more resilient systems A systems architect looking to adapt to decentralized infrastructure Or a developer aiming to stay relevant in a rapidly evolving.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - What if your home could automate itself without relying on cloud subscriptions, remote servers, or a manufacturer's app Modern smart-home products are convenient, but they often come with hidden trade-offs: recurring fees, limited interoperability, privacy concerns, and the risk that a device may stop working when a company changes its platform. This book shows you how to build a smart-home system that you own, control, and understand from the hardware level upward.Designed for makers, engineering students, IT professionals, and advanced hobbyists, this guide provides a complete roadmap for creating a secure, locally managed home-automation platform using a single-board computer as the central controller.Inside this book, you will learn how to: - Install and configure a reliable home-automation hub- Connect temperature, motion, light, humidity, and air-quality sensors- Read wiring diagrams and safely integrate low-voltage devices- Create automation rules that continue operating even during internet outages- Implement local voice control without sending audio to third-party services- Segment your home network to isolate automation devices from personal computers and data- Add cameras, door sensors, and access-control systems with local video processing- Monitor energy consumption and optimise lighting and climate control using real usage data- Expand the system from a single room to a full home, detached building, or multi-unit propertyRather than focusing on a single gadget or app, this book emphasises the engineering principles behind dependable home automation: reliability, redundancy, security, maintainability, and long-term scalability.You will also find: - Step-by-step hardware setup instructions- Practical wiring references- Working configuration examples- Security hardening checklists- Backup and disaster-recovery procedures- Accessibility considerations for ageing-in-place and assisted-living environments- Real-world deployment scenarios, including off-grid and solar-powered installationsWhether you are building your first automation project or designing a distributed system for a larger property, this book provides the technical depth needed to make informed decisions and avoid costly mistakes.By the end of this guide, you will be able to design, deploy, secure, and maintain a smart-home infrastructure that operates on your terms.Take control of your home's automation system and build a solution that remains reliable, private, and fully under your ownership.…
