Internet of Things (IoT)

What does API stand for

Application Program Interface

What does each thing have/ makes it unique

Each thing is uniquely identifiable through its embedded computing system but is able to inter-operate within the existing infrastructure Each device has a unique address

Applications of IoT

Environmental Monitoring Infrastructure Management Manufacturing Energy Management Medical and Healthcare Systems Building and Home Automation Transportation

History of IoT

First coined by British entrepreneur Kevin Ashton in 1999 working at Auto-ID Labs. Cisco's John Chambers popularized it. The first application was as early as 1982, with a modified Coke machine at Carnegie Mellon University becoming the first internet-connected appliance, able to report its inventory and whether newly loaded drinks were cold.

What does IoTs integration with the Internet imply?

Integration with the Internet implies that devices will use an IP address as a unique identifier: IP v4, IP v6

IoT Equation

IoT = ET + NT + IT ET= Embedded Technology NT= Network Technology IT= Information Technology

Internet of Things (IoT)

It is the network of physical objects or "things" embedded with: Sensors, Software/Apps, Network connectivity: which enables these objects to collect and exchange data. Machine-to-machine (M2M) communication

Results of IoT

Large amounts of data from diverse locations are expected to be generated. Increase the need to better index, store and process such data. Rise of Big Data & Analytics

Intelligent Shopping Systems

Monitor specific users purchasing habits in a store by tacking their specific mobile phones. These users could then be provided with special offers on their favorite products. Or even location of items that they need, which their refrigerator has automatically conveyed to the phone.

The IoT allows

Objects to be sensed and controlled remotely across existing network infrastructure (the internet) Opportunities for more direct integration between the physical world and computer-based systems, and resulting in improved efficiency, accuracy and economic benefit

Concerns of IoT

Privacy, Autonomy, and Control Security: DDOS attacks, Intrusion

Two Main Functions of IoT devices

Sense Actuate

Classifications of IoT

Smart Wearable Smart Home Smarty City Smart Environment Smart Enterprise Smart Government

What is Micro-electro-mechanical Systems(MEMS)

They are computer chips with moving parts that are typically divided into sensor and actuators

Technologies of IoT

Wireless communication: Wi-Fi & Bluetooth The Internet
