This collection of studies is focused on a three-legged stand in which now is focused on the research community: the internet of things (IoT), the cyber-physical systems (CPS), and the data-driven knowledge extraction based on big data.The availability of uniquely addressable heterogeneous electronic (UAHE)-including sensors, actuators, smart devices, RFID tags, embedded computers, and mobile devices-is continuously growing day by day.From a networking perspective, the IoT relies on interconnected UAHE for creating a mesh of devices, producing information, and building a worldwide network of real physical objects.In this context, the IoT presents a technology that enables loosely coupled decentralized systems of cooperating smart objects of autonomous physical-digital devices, augmented with sensing/ actuating, processing, and networking capabilities.Over the past 17 years, since the term IoT was first coined by Kevin Ashton in 1999, radio frequency identification (RFID) system is shaping up to be an important building block and a prerequisite for the IoT.The RFID is a key technology that automatically utilizes devices to identify, track and monitor, or control objects through radio waves.However, the performance of RFID equipment can be easily affected by factors in the surrounding environment.Consequently, that can impose a negative impact on the RF signal and the source data.H.
