IOT: The Evolving World of Realtime BigData by Jerry PowerData Con LA
Abstract:- IOT technology will allow big data structures to evolve from static off line repositories of digital knowledge to on-line representations of our current world. IOT will allow the techniques used with big data to identify trends and forecast future to become operationally enabled data structures that allow us to manage our digital environment for maximal advantage. The road to this reality has several hurdles that must first be overcome. Among these hurdles are trust, privacy, discovery, and behavioral economics. These issues will be discussed in the context of a large city operations network and potential options to overcome these hurdles will be offered.
Cloud is recognized as facilitating “speed-to-market” – and for its ability to drive business agility. This is because cloud supports rapid experimentation and innovation by allowing companies to quickly try and even adopt new solutions without significant up-front costs. The Cloud can be a highly agile wrapper around different systems, different behavior and bringing it all together in an engagement cycle. By changing the way people interact with technology, cloud enables new forms of consumer engagement, expand collaboration across the value chain and bring innovation to companies’ core business models.

The Internet-of-Things provides us with lots of sensor data. However, the data by themselves do not provide value unless we can turn them into actionable, contextualized information. Big data and data visualization techniques allow us to gain new insights by batch-processing and off-line analysis. Real-time sensor data analysis and decision-making is often done manually but to make it scalable, it is preferably automated. Artificial Intelligence provides us the framework and tools to go beyond trivial real-time decision and automation use cases for IoT.

What Exactly Is The "Internet of Things"?Postscapes
Over the last several years, stories of the technologies making up an Internet of Things have started to slip into public consciousness. As this is occurring, we believe the whole story of Smart Systems and the Internet of Things is not being told. Many of the dispatches coming in from the “front lines” of technology innovation are but fragments of a much larger narrative.
Postscapes collaborated with Harbor Research on an infographic to tell a more complete story about the Internet of Things.
From our perspective, this story is not just about people communicating with people or machines communicating with machines. Smart, connected systems are a technological and economic phenomenon of unprecedented scale, encompassing potentially billions if not trillions of nodes -- an Internet of infinite interactions and values...

The Internet of Things (IoT for Beginners Guide)Ashish Kumar
You might have heard plenty of jargons related to the internet, but the one that has become a buzzword recently and is broken into the mainstream as potentially the most significant term for the way we communicate, work and live in the near future is: The Internet of Things (IoT). Today, everyone is talking about the Internet of Things (IoT) from the newspaper to tech blogs. But what, exactly, is the IoT for beginners? Let’s find out. For more details visit: https://goo.gl/qT4LYA
The Internet of Things (IoT) is an umbrella term which covers a broad repertoire of sensors, applications, technologies, and use cases as they are enabled by the network of objects and devices with an IP address (Internet Protocol). Smart locks, smart cars, smart security system, smart thermostats, and smart health monitor are some of the examples of The Internet of Things (IoT) you’ve probably heard recently, and you’re going to hear more as the year progresses.
Blockchain and Artificial Intelligence are two of the hottest technology trends right now. Even though the two technologies have highly different developing parties and applications, researchers have been discussing and exploring their combination. With both these technologies able to effect and enact upon data in different ways, their coming together makes sense, and it can take the exploitation of data to new levels. At the same time, the integration of machine learning and AI into blockchain, and vice versa, can enhance blockchain’s underlying architecture and boost AI’s potential.

11 things IT leaders need to know about the internet of things WGroup
The Internet of Things (IoT) is the next phase in the evolution of the Internet. More than 100 devices connect to the Internet every second. By 2020, Cisco estimates that number to be more than 250 per second. Morgan Stanley projects the Internet will be loaded with 75 billion devices by the end of the decade. This document discusses WGroup's perspective on what 11 things IT leaders need to know about IoT.
The Internet of Things (IoT) is a concept that describes a totally interconnected world. It’s a world where devices of every shape and size are manufactured with “smart” capabilities that allow them to communicate and interact with other devices, exchange data, make autonomous decisions and perform useful tasks based on preset conditions.
IoT is expected to gross over $19 trillion over the next few years. However, the problem is that these ‘things’ have myths surrounding them, some of which are impacting how organizations develop the apps to support them.
Any new technology involves a certain amount of uncertainty and business risk. In the case of the Internet of Things, however, many of the risks have been exaggerated or misrepresented. While the IoT vision will take years to mature fully, the building blocks to begin this process are already in place.
Key hardware and software are either available today or under development; stakeholders need to address security and privacy concerns, and collaborate to implement the open standards that will make the IoT safe, secure, reliable and interoperable, and allow the delivery of secured services as seamlessly as possible.
The Convergence of 5G and Internet of Things (IoT) is the next natural move for two advance technologies built to make users lives convenient, easier and more productive. But before talking about how they will unite we need to understand each of the two technologies.
Simply defined; 5G is the next-generation cellular network compared to 4G, the current standard, which offers speeds ranging from 7 Mbps to 17 Mbps for upload and 12 Mbps to 36 Mbps for download, 5G transmission speeds may be as high as 20 Gbps. Latency will also be close to 10% of 4G transmission, and the number of devices that can be connected scales up significantly which warranted the convergence with IoT.
Quantum computers are designed to perform tasks much more accurately and efficiently than conventional computers, providing developers with a new tool for specific applications.
It is clear in the short-term that quantum computers will not replace their traditional counterparts; instead, they will require classical computers to support their specialized abilities, such as systems optimization.
The convergence of IoT and Quantum ComputingAhmed Banafa
One of the top candidates to help in securing IoT is Quantum Computing, while the idea of convergence of IoT and Quantum Computing is not a new topic, it was discussed in many works of literature and covered by various researchers, but nothing is close to practical applications so far.
Quantum Computing is not ready yet, it is years away from deployment on a commercial scale.
Building a quantum internet is a key ambition for many countries around the world, such a breakthrough will give them competitive advantage in a promising disruptive technology, and opens a new world of innovations and unlimited possibilities.
COVID-19 has impacted countries, communities, and individuals in countless ways, from business and school closures to job losses not to undermined loss of lives.
Quantum teleportation is a technique for transferring quantum information from a sender at one location to a receiver some distance away.
While teleportation is portrayed in science fiction as a means to transfer physical objects from one location to the next, quantum teleportation only transfers quantum information.
The Zero Trust Model of information #security simplifies how #information security is conceptualized by assuming there are no longer “trusted” interfaces, applications, traffic, networks, or users. It takes the old model— “trust but verify”—and inverts it, because recent breaches have proven that when an organization trusts, it doesn’t verify
How blockchain is revolutionizing crowdfundingAhmed Banafa
According to experts, there are five key benefits of crowdfunding platforms: efficiency, reach, easier presentation, built-in PR and marketing, and near-immediate validation of concept, which explains why crowdfunding has become an extremely useful alternative to venture capital (VC), and has also allowed non-traditional projects, such as those started by in-need families or hopeful creatives, a new audience to pitch their cause.
Blockchain technology and supply chain managementAhmed Banafa
Managing today’s supply chains is extremely complex. For many products, the supply chain can span over hundreds of stages, multiple geographical (international) locations, a multitude of invoices and payments, have several individuals and entities involved, and extend over months of time.
8 key tech trends in a post covid-19 world editedAhmed Banafa
COVID-19 has demonstrated the importance of digital readiness, which allows business and people’s life to continue as usual during pandemics.
Building the necessary infrastructure to support a digitized world and stay current in the latest technology will be essential for any business or countryto remain competitive in a post-COVID-19 world.
The COVID-19 coronavirus has impacted countries, communities and individuals in countless ways, from school closures to health-care insurance issues not to undermined loss of lives.
As governments scramble to address these problems, different solutions based on blockchain technologies have sprung up to help deal with the worldwide health crisis. Blockchain will surely not prevent the emergence of new viruses itself, but what it can do is create the first line of rapid protection through a network of connected devices whose primary goal is to remain alert about disease outbreaks.
Therefore, the use of blockchain-enabled platforms can help prevent these pandemics by enabling early detection of epidemics, fast-tracking drug trials, and impact management of outbreaks and treatment.
It’s clear that blockchain will revolutionize operations and processes in many industries and governments agencies if adopted, but its adoption requires time and efforts, in addition blockchain technology will stimulate people to acquire new skills, and traditional business will have to completely reconsider their processes to harvest the maximum benefits from using this promising technology. The following 10 trends will dominate blockchain technology in 2020:
Quantum Computing and Blockchain: Facts and Myths Ahmed Banafa
The biggest danger to Blockchain networks from quantum computing is its ability to break traditional encryption . Google sent shock waves around the internet when it was claimed, had built a quantum computer able to solve formerly impossible mathematical calculations–with some fearing crypto industry could be at risk . Google states that its experiment is the first experimental challenge against the extended Church-Turing thesis — also known as computability thesis — which claims that traditional computers can effectively carry out any “reasonable” model of computation
In this webinar Prof. Banafa will discuss in details the use of Blockchain in the following businesses: Insurance; Payments; Internet-of-Things (IoT); Supply Chain; Healthcare; Government; Identity; Advertising; Marketing; Banking.
The following list of predictions (Figure 1) explores the state of IoT in 2019 and covering IoT impact on many aspects business and technology including Digital Transformation, Blockchain, AI, and 5G.

The Blockchain Wave in 2019 and BeyondAhmed Banafa
We’re still in the early days of Blockchain as a technology, and so we’re yet to see the full impact that it will have on the world that we live in. Still, it’s already showing potential across a range of industries and started to enter the public consciousness, so the real question is what will happen when Blockchain technology starts to mature.
Second line of defense for cybersecurity : BlockchainAhmed Banafa
With the fact that cybercrime and cyber security attacks hardly seem to be out of the news these days and the threat is growing globally.
Nobody would appear immune to malicious and offensive acts targeting computer networks, infrastructures and personal computer devices.
Firms clearly must invest to stay resilient.
Gauging the exact size of cybercrime and putting a precise US dollar value on it is nonetheless tricky.

Internet security encompasses the measures and protocols used to protect information, devices, and networks from unauthorized access, attacks, and damage. It involves a wide range of practices designed to safeguard data confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Effective internet security is crucial for individuals, businesses, and governments alike, as cyber threats continue to evolve in complexity and scale.
### Key Components of Internet Security
1. **Confidentiality**: Ensuring that information is accessible only to those authorized to access it.
2. **Integrity**: Protecting information from being altered or tampered with by unauthorized parties.
3. **Availability**: Ensuring that authorized users have reliable access to information and resources when needed.
## Common Internet Security Threats
Cyber threats are numerous and constantly evolving. Understanding these threats is the first step in protecting against them. Some of the most common internet security threats include:
### Malware
Malware, or malicious software, is designed to harm, exploit, or otherwise compromise a device, network, or service. Common types of malware include:
- **Viruses**: Programs that attach themselves to legitimate software and replicate, spreading to other programs and files.
- **Worms**: Standalone malware that replicates itself to spread to other computers.
- **Trojan Horses**: Malicious software disguised as legitimate software.
- **Ransomware**: Malware that encrypts a user's files and demands a ransom for the decryption key.
- **Spyware**: Software that secretly monitors and collects user information.
### Phishing
Phishing is a social engineering attack that aims to steal sensitive information such as usernames, passwords, and credit card details. Attackers often masquerade as trusted entities in email or other communication channels, tricking victims into providing their information.
### Man-in-the-Middle (MitM) Attacks
MitM attacks occur when an attacker intercepts and potentially alters communication between two parties without their knowledge. This can lead to the unauthorized acquisition of sensitive information.
### Denial-of-Service (DoS) and Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) Attacks

2. • Businesses across the world are rapidly
leveraging the Internet-of-Things (#IoT) to
create new products and services that are
opening up new business opportunities and
creating new business models.
3. • The resulting transformation is ushering in a
new era of how companies run their
operations and engage with customers.
However, tapping into the IoT is only part of
the story [6].
4.
5. • For companies to realize the full potential of
IoT enablement, they need to combine IoT
with rapidly-advancing Artificial Intelligence
(#AI) technologies, which enable ‘smart
machines’ to simulate intelligent behavior and
make well-informed decisions with little or no
human intervention [6].

8. • Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the Internet of
Things (IoT) are terms that project futuristic,
sci-fi, imagery; both have been identified as
drivers of business disruption in 2017.
• But, what do these terms really mean and
what is their relation? Let’s start by defining
both terms first:
9. • IoT is defined as a system of interrelated
Physical Objects, Sensors, Actuators, Virtual
Objects, People, Services, Platforms, and
Networks [3] that have separate identifiers
and an ability to transfer data independently.
10. • Practical examples of #IoT application today
include precision agriculture, remote patient
monitoring, and driverless cars. Simply put,
IoT is the network of “things” that collects and
exchanges information from the environment
[7].
11. • IoT is sometimes referred to as the driver of
the fourth Industrial Revolution (Industry 4.0)
by industry insiders and has triggered
technological changes that span a wide range
of fields.
12. • Gartner forecasted there would be 20.8 billion
connected things in use worldwide by 2020,
but more recent predictions put the 2020
figure at over 50 billion devices [4].
13. • Various other reports have predicted huge
growth in a variety of industries, such as
estimating healthcare IoT to be worth $117
billion by 2020 and forecasting 250 million
connected vehicles on the road by the same
year.
14. • IoT developments bring exciting opportunities
to make our personal lives easier as well as
improving efficiency, productivity, and safety
for many businesses [2].
15. • AI, on the other hand, is the engine or the
“brain” that will enable analytics and decision
making from the data collected by IoT. In
other words, IoT collects the data and AI
processes this data in order to make sense of
it.
16. • You can see these systems working together at
a personal level in devices like fitness trackers
and Google Home, Amazon’s Alexa, and
Apple’s Siri [1].
17. • With more connected devices comes more
data that has the potential to provide amazing
insights for businesses but presents a new
challenge for how to analyze it all. Collecting
this data benefits no one unless there is a way
to understand it all.
18. • This is where AI comes in. Making sense of
huge amounts of data is a perfect application
for pure AI.
19. • By applying the analytic capabilities of AI to
data collected by IoT, companies can identify
and understand patterns and make more
informed decisions.
20. • This leads to a variety of benefits for both
consumers and companies such as proactive
intervention, intelligent automation, and
highly personalized experiences.
21. • It also enables us to find ways for connected
devices to work better together and make
these systems easier to use.
22. • This, in turn, leads to even higher adoption
rates. That’s exactly why; we need to improve
the speed and accuracy of data analysis with
AI in order to see IoT live up to its promise.
23. • Collecting data is one thing, but sorting,
analyzing, and making sense of that data is a
completely different thing.
24. • That’s why it’s essential to develop faster and
more accurate AIs in order to keep up with the
sheer volume of data being collected as IoT
starts to penetrate almost all aspects of our
lives.
25. Examples of IoT data [4]:
• Data that helps cities predict accidents and
crimes
• Data that gives doctors real-time insight into
information from pacemakers or biochips
• Data that optimize productivity across
industries through predictive maintenance on
equipment and machinery
26. • Data that creates truly smart homes with
connected appliances
• Data that provides critical communication
between self-driving cars
27. • It’s simply impossible for humans to review
and understand all of this data with traditional
methods, even if they cut down the sample
size, simply takes too much time.
28. • The big problem will be finding ways to
analyze the deluge of performance data and
information that all these devices create.
29. • Finding insights in terabytes of machine data
is a real challenge, just ask a data scientist.
30. But in order for us to harvest the full benefits of
IoT data, we need to improve:
• Speed of big data analysis
• Accuracy of big data analysis
32. AI and IoT Data Analytics
There are six types of IoT Data Analysis where AI
can help [5]:
• 1. Data Preparation: Defining pools of data
and clean them which will take us to concepts
like Dark Data, Data Lakes.
33. • 2. Data Discovery: Finding useful data in the
defined pools of data
34. • 3. Visualization of Streaming Data: On the
fly dealing with streaming data by defining,
discovering data, and visualizing it in smart
ways to make it easy for the decision-making
process to take place without delay.
35. • 4. Time Series Accuracy of Data: Keeping the
level of confidence in data collected high with
high accuracy and integrity of data
36. • 5. Predictive and Advance Analytics: a Very
important step where decisions can be made
based on data collected, discovered and
analyzed
37. • 6. Real-Time Geospatial and Location
(logistical Data): Maintaining the flow of data
smooth and under control.
38. AI in IoT Applications [1]:
• Visual big data, for example – will allow
computers to gain a deeper understanding of
images on the screen, with new AI
applications that understand the context of
images.
39. • Cognitive systems will create new recipes that
appeal to the user’s sense of taste, creating
optimized menus for each individual, and
automatically adapting to local ingredients
40. • Newer sensors will allow computers to “hear”
gathering sonic information about the user’s
environment.
41. • Connected and Remote Operations- With
smart and connected warehouse operations,
workers no longer have to roam the
warehouse picking goods off the shelves to
fulfill an order.
42. • Instead, shelves whisk down the aisles, guided
by small robotic platforms that deliver the
right inventory to the right place, avoiding
collisions along the way
43. • Order fulfillment is faster, safer, and more
efficient. Prevented/Predictive Maintenance:
Saving companies millions before any
breakdown or leaks by predicting and
preventing locations and time of such events.
44. • These are just a few promising applications of
Artificial Intelligence in IoT. The potential for
highly individualized services are endless and
will dramatically change the way people lives.
46. Challenges facing AI in IoT [4]
• Compatibility: IoT is a collection of many parts
and systems they are fundamentally different
in time and space.
47. • Complexity: IoT is a complicated system with
many moving parts and non –stop stream of
data making it a very complicated ecosystem
48. • Privacy/Security/Safety (PSS): PSS is always an
issue with every new technology or concept,
how far IA can help without compromising
PSS? One of the new solutions for such
problem is using Blockchain technology.
49. • Ethical and legal Issues: It’s a new world for
many companies with no precedents,
untested territory with new laws and cases
emerging rapidly.
50. • Artificial Stupidity: Back to the very simple
concept of GIGO (Garbage In Garbage Out), AI
still needs “training” to understand human
reactions/emotions so the decisions will make
sense.
51. Conclusion
• While IoT is quite impressive, it really doesn’t
amount to much without a good AI system.
Both technologies need to reach the same
level of development in order to function as
perfectly as we believe they should and
would.
52. • Scientists are trying to find ways to make more
intelligent data analysis software and devices
in order to make safe and effective IoT a
reality.
53. • It may take some time before this happens
because AI development is lagging behind IoT,
but the possibility is, nevertheless, there.
54. • Integrating AI into IoT networks is becoming a
prerequisite for success in today’s IoT-based
digital ecosystems. So businesses must move
rapidly to identify how they’ll drive value from
combining AI and IoT—or face playing catch-
up in years to come.
55. • The only way to keep up with this IoT-
generated data and gain the hidden insights it
holds is using AI as the catalyst of IoT.
