Beyond Smart and Connected Governments : Sensors and the Internet of Things in the Public Sector Paperback / softback

Edited by J. Ramon Gil-Garcia, Theresa A. Pardo, Mila Gasco-Hernandez

Part of the Public Administration and Information Technology series

Paperback / softback

Description

This book provides a comprehensive introduction to the study of sensors and the Internet of Things (IoT) from a government and public policy perspective.

Since 2011, federal spending on IoT has been growing at a compound annual rate of ten percent.

New technologies, such as sensors, and new kinds of data, such as big data, are creating new ways to systematically capture data and to use it to respond to complex problems.

Some of these new technologies and applications have been identified and studied in recent literature in terms of their relevance to government.

This volume adds to the literature by presenting sound theories and concepts for understanding the opportunities and challenges governments face when seeking to improve public services and government operations through the use of IoT.

It also includes innovative methodologies for building understanding of the potential of a smart and connected government.

In addition, the book offers relevant case studies and practical recommendations for the development, management, and evaluation of public policies and government programs.
