The Internet of Things (IoT) refers to the ever-growing network of physical objects that feature an IP address for internet connectivity, and the communication that occurs between these objects and other Internet-enabled devices and systems. This presentation reviews the concept and numerous business cases of IoT.

1. Welcome to the World of
Internet of Things
"In the next century, planet earth will don an electronic skin.
It will use the Internet as a scaffold to support and transmit its sensations."

2. Agenda
IoT Concept
Application in various areas
Architecture behind IoT
Challenges : Standards, Security, Privacy
Acceptance and adoption of IoT

3. Internet of Things or Everything (IoT/IoE)
The Internet of Things (IoT) refers to the ever-growing network of physical
objects that feature an IP address for internet connectivity, and the
communication that occurs between these objects and other Internet-
enabled devices and systems.
Interconnection of sensing and actuating devices providing the ability to
share information across platforms through a unified framework,
developing a common operating picture for enabling innovative
applications. This is achieved by seamless ubiquitous sensing, data analytics
and information representation with Cloud computing as the unifying
framework. *

6. Examples of IoT

7. IoT Applications – Your Body
• Check on the baby (Mimo Monitor)
• Remember to take your meds (GlowCaps)
• Track your activity levels (Smartphones)
• Monitor an aging family member (BeClose)
• Stay out of doctor's office (BodyGuardian)

8. • Heat your home efficiently (Nest)
• Make sure the oven is off (WeMo)
• Track down those lost keys (CobraTag)
• Light your home in new ways (Phillip’s Hue)
• Keep your plants alive (HarvestGeek)
IoT Applications – Your Home

9. IoT Applications – Your City
• Keep streets clean (Smart Belly Trash)
• Stop driving in circles (Park Sight Service)
• Receive pollution warnings (DontFlushMe)
• Use electricity more efficiently (SenseNET)
• Light streets more effectively
(Smart Lighting System)

10. IoT Applications – Industry
• Maintain & repair
• Stop guessing (Shopperception)
• Monitor (SmartPile)
• Safety first

11. IoT Applications – The Environment
• Monitor pollution levels
(Air Quality Egg )
• Track water (Floating Sensor Network )
• Help protect wildlife
(Tracking Collar)
• Get an advanced warning
(Landslide Detector )
• Stop the deforestation
(Invisible Track)

12. IoT and Web Services

13. How Web Services Works

14. Comparison of HTTP and CoAP Protocol Stacks

15. IEEE 802.15.4 and IPv6
Low Bandwidth (250 kbps), low power (1 mW) radio
IPv6 uses a 128 bit address. (2128)
• 3.4028236692093846346337460743177e+38
More than 7.9×1028 times as many as IPv4, which uses
32-bit addresses, provides approx. 4.3 billion addresses.

16. The CoAP Architecture

17. Internet of Things Hardware:
• Wireless SoC (System on Chip)
• Prototyping boards and platforms

18. Internet of Things Software
• Riot OS
• Thingsquare Mist

19. Cloud Services
• ThingWorx
• EVERYTHING

20. Why Now
Smaller and cheaper
hardware (Sensors,
actuators, microcontrollers)
Ubiquitous Connectivity
(Wifi,LTE,BLE,Zigbee,NFC)
Cloud(Massive & Cheap
compute power and storage
as a service
Open
Protocols(COAP,HTTP/REST)

21. Adoption
Early stages of
adoption.(Health,
Manufacturing, Water
& Power Companies)
Adoption will take a
while but timeline
shrinking.
Price of Sensors and
actuator reducing
with time

22. The Obligatory Long Tail Slide...
• Traditionally, application development dollars are directed
toward those projects and enhancements demanded by the
largest group of users.
– This practice of catering to the masses doesn’t necessarily lead
to an outcome with the greatest positive impact on
productivity.
IT focuses on the 20% of known problems that
affect the most users.
The 80% of potential solutions that serve a
smaller audience remain unaddressed.

23. Gartner Hype Cycle 2011

24. Market Analysis(Gartner 2013)

25. Impact on Business

26. Market Forecast & Analysis
Cisco IBSG predicts
there will be 25 billion
devices connected to
the Internet by 2015 &
50 billion by 2020.
Mckinsey Global
Institute potential
economic impact of
the Internet of Things
to be $2.7 trillion to
$6.2 trillion per year
by 2025 through use in
a half-dozen major
applications
Gartner predicts the
IoT which excludes
PC,Tablets& Mobiles
will grow to 26Bn units
installed in 2020.

27. Challenges
Lack of
Infrastructure
Lack of
common
Standard
Battery Life
Data
Sharing

ecosystem/

28. Recommendation & Take-aways
Focus on the standards
and protocols. It
basically covers many
technical, adoption,
and security issues.
Focus on open source
protocols (e.g. Linux-
based)
Manufacturer of the
devices should
prioritize security
concerns
Data regulation
Adoption will be
gradual
