On the Internet of Things

Last week we completed the “6LoWPAN: The Wireless Embedded Internet” book manuscript, which is now in production at Wiley. Shipping is expected in November 2009. I know there is a huge need for more tutorial and educational material about 6LoWPAN. We will do our best to launch the web-site for the book including tutorial and course material already in September. It is now officially available on Wiley’s home page:

6LoWPAN: The Wireless Embedded Internet

We are completing the world’s first book all about 6LoWPAN for John Wiley & Sons together with Carsten Bormann, co-chair of the 6lowpan working group. Here is a sneak preview.

The book will be announced officially in June by Wiley, and is expected to start shipping to readers this December. It gives the complete picture of 6LoWPAN technology all in one place, including deployment examples and implementation aspects. It is aimed at experts in the field, engineering students and lecturers. An accompanying web-site will be launched this fall including course material, Contiki coding exercises, an author blog and other 6LoWPAN information.
