One of the characteristic and influential features of Contiki is the use of IP in low-power radio sensor networks and smart object networks. IP-based smart objects are today being standardized through the IETF and made accessible through the IPSO Alliance. As part of this general development, JP Vasseur and me have written a book on IP-based smart object networks with the title Interconnecting Smart Objects with IP - The Next Internet.
The book covers IP-based sensor networks from the link layer and up, and covers network architecture (IPv6, transport, web services, etc), the underlying technology (RPL routing, the 6lowpan IPv6-over-802.15.4 adaptation layer, hardware, software, etc), and applications of IP-based smart objects (the smart grid, industrial automation, home automation, smart cities, etc). The book is scheduled to be available in June 2010, but is already available for preorder from Amazon.com. We have set up a website for the book here.
