This trend has enabled the coupling of physical objects and digital information into cyber-physical systems and it is widely expected to revolutionize the way resource computational consumption and provision will occur. Specifically, one of the core ingredients of this vision, the so-called Internet of Things (IoT), demands the provision of networked services to support interaction between conventional IT systems with both physical and artificial objects. In this way, IoT is seen as a combination of several emerging technologies, which enables the transformation of everyday objects into smart objects. It is also perceived as a paradigm that connects real world with digital world. The focus of this book is on the novel collective and computational intelligence technologies that will be required to achieve this goal. While, one of the aims of this book is to discuss the progress made, it also prompts future directions on the utilization of inter-operable and cooperative next generation computational technologies, which supports the IoT approach, that being an advanced functioning towards an integrated collective intelligence approach for the benefit of various organizational settings.

Tabu Search method is a well-known meta-heuristic that has proved successful for suboptimally solving hard combinatorial optimization problems. This method has been already implemented for a large number of optimization problems, to the best of our knowledge they are all ad hoc implementations. We propose a generic C++ implementation based on a skeleton design for the method. This implementation offers, among others, the possibility for the user to instantiate the Tabu Search method for any problem with little e orts and basic knowledge of C++ language. The implementation provides both robustness and re-usability properties. We have instantiated the skeleton on three di erent problems, namely the Quadratic Assignment, Minimum k-Cardinality Tree and 0-1 Multi-dimensional Knapsack problems so as to evidence the claimed properties of the skeleton.
