Em um mundo cada vez mais conectado e automatizado, e com a proliferaço do uso de inteligencia artificial, o bom funcionamento dos dispositivos eletronicos, especialmente os que compem o ecossistema IoT, tornou-se essencial para a segurança, para a produtividade e ate para a sobrevivencia humana. Este livro sugere um modelo conceitual e tecnico que prope o monitoramento da "saude" de dispositivos inteligentes com base na analise multidimensional e temporal de seus parametros eletricos. A analise de dados funcionais por meio da criaço de matrizes multidimensionais sobrepostas permite organizar e monitorar dados como corrente, tenso, potencia, consumo e fator de potencia ao longo do tempo e de formas diferentes. O autor prope uma abordagem para inferir, de forma visual e objetiva, mediante algoritmos, o indice de saude de um dispositivo. O modelo oferece tambem uma representaço grafica comparavel a um "raio X digital", revelando o estado interno do equipamento com base em variaçes sutis de desempenho e desgaste de seus componentes eletronicos. O livro foi dividido em duas partes. Uma delas, a mais ludica, diz respeito a comparaço entre o funcionamento de um corpo humano e um dispositivo inteligente; e a outra sugere um modelo para obter indicadores da saude dos dispositivos. O livro no apenas apresenta a sua teoria de uso das matrizes temporais multidimensionais como traz insights de implementaço, desde a prototipagem ate as aplicaçes futuras em manutenço preditiva, redes autonomas e inteligencia embarcada. Assim, em determinados momentos, vamos nos referir a dispositivos de IoT simplesmente como "o IoT". O objetivo e apresentar caminhos alternativos para que o leitor possa refletir sobre o papel das maquinas no nosso cotidiano e a necessidade de preservar sua integridade em um mundo onde humanos e sistemas automatizados se tornam cada vez mais interdependentes.
