2. Introduction
“The Internet of Things is the network of physical objects that contain
embedded technology to communicate and sense or interact with
their internal states or the external environment.”
The Internet of Things (IoT) is a
computing concept that describes a
future where everyday physical
objects will be connected to the
Internet and be able to identify
themselves to other devices. The term
is closely identified with RFID as the
method of communication, although
it also may include other sensor
technologies, wireless technologies or
QR codes.
3. The Internet of Things (IoT) is increasing the connectedness of people and things
on a scale that once was unimaginable.
Growth in analytics and cloud computing
Increasing interconnectivity of machines and personal smart devices
The proliferation of applications connecting supply chains, partners, and
customers
Most businesses are focused on
getting products to market more
quickly, adapting to regulatory
requirements, increasing efficiency,
and most importantly-continuing to
innovate. Your highly mobile
workforce, customers, and supply
chain demand anytime, anywhere
business tools.
An IoT platform can help.
4. Internet of Things Trends
1. Wireless Sensors and Devices: They are getting smaller, smarter, and
cheaper….and there are billions of them….producing billions of data
points.
2. Education Need: Increased demand for education and skills training
related to Sensor Networks, how to implement them and what to do with
the data collected.
3. Wearable's: In 2014, the consumer buzz will be around wearable devices,
including glasses, watches, and health/fitness monitors. Enterprises will
integrated wearable's into future strategies
4. Product Design: Consumers and Customers will increasingly expect
products to come with embedded sensors.
5. Security & Privacy: These two issues are big components of any IoT strategy
and must be considered for the devices, the connections, and the cloud.
5. New Business Processes Required:
IoT enables new automated sense
and respond systems, disrupting
traditional processes.
Challenges:
Network speed/capacity
Standards / Interoperability
Management of Big Data
Security
Application Development /
Partner ecosystems
Culture, skills, and business
processes
6. Interest Areas
Security will be an increasingly
hot topic within the IoT trend
I choose this topic because IoT is going to be essential part of the future
enterprise IT. And next five years all devices are connected to the internet
sharing and faster data is accessed by the customer.
For me most interested field is
to work with wearable's,
product design and security.
7. Implications:
We simply have to fix this. We have to put pressure on embedded
system vendors to design their systems better. We need open-source
driver software — no more binary blobs! — so third-party vendors and
ISPs can provide security tools and software updates for as long as
the device is in use. We need automatic update mechanisms to
ensure they get installed.
If I get an internship I would like to work on Security and privacy
issues and product design. I would like to solve the problems related
to implementation in the product in IoT.
