Internet of Things
The document discusses the concept of the Internet of Things (IoT), introduced by Kevin Ashton, as a system connecting the internet to the physical world through sensors. It highlights technologies used in IoT, such as RFID and Zigbee, and applications like traffic monitoring and intelligent home systems. Challenges facing IoT include technological standardization, data management, privacy concerns, and the need for governance.

Editor's Notes
- #2 The Internet of Things (IoT) is a scenario in which objects, animals or people are provided with unique identifiers and the ability to transfer data over a network without requiring human-to-human or human-to-computer interaction.
- #3 Boffins- A person engaged in technical research. Geeks- Engage in computer related tasks with greater attention.
- #5 Ubiquitous Sensor: the sensor that being present every where.
- #7 RFID: Tracking of goods, human and animals. Inserted in passports. Can help detect and retrieve stolen cars. RFID, short for Rradio Frequency IDentification, is a technology that enables identification of a tag (that is normally attached with an entity) by using electromagnetic waves. The function served by RFID is similar to bar code identification, but line of sight signals are not required for operation of RFID.
- #8 ZigBee is an established set of specifications for wireless personal area networking (WPAN), i.e., digital radio connections between computers and related devices.
- #12 Communication: IoT communicates information to people and systems, such as state and health of equipment (e.g.it’s on or off, charged, full or empty) and data from sensors that can monitor a person’s vital signs. Control and Automation. In a connected world, a business will have visibility into a device’s condition. In many cases, a business or consumer will also be able to remotely control a device. Cost Savings. Many companies will adopt IoT to save money. Measurement provides actual performance data and equipment health, instead of just estimates. Businesses, particularly industrial companies, lose money when equipment fails. With new sensor information, IoT can help a company save money by minimizing equipment failure and allowing the business to perform planned maintenance.
- #14 Absence of governance is the first main challenge One major barrier for the widespread adoption of the Internet of Things technology is the absence of governance. Without an impartial governing authority it will be impossible to have a truly global “Internet of Things”, accepted by states, companies, trade organizations and the common people. Today there is not a unique universal numbering scheme as just described: PCglobal and the Ubiquitous Networking Lab propose two different, non- compatible ways of identifying objects, and there is the risk to have them competing in the coming future over the global market. There is also the need of keeping governance as generic as possible, as having one authority per application field will certainly lead to overlap, confusion and competition between standards. Objects can have different identities in different contexts so having multiple authorities would create a kind of multi-homing, which can lead to disastrous results.
