This document discusses Internet of Things (IoT). It defines IoT as connecting physical objects to the Internet through sensors that allow the objects to transfer data and be identified without human interaction. The document lists common IoT protocols, domains including medical, industrial and home, and sensor types. It discusses trends showing the growth of connected devices and expansion of IoT domains. The author's interest areas in IoT are remote maintenance, supply chain optimization, and infrastructure management to reduce waste and costs by computers knowing everything about connected things.

2. What is Internet of Things?
 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. It has evolved from the
convergence of wireless technologies, micro-electromechanical
systems and the Internet. with the Internet of Things, the physical
world is becoming one big information system.
 The Internet of Things 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.
 Protocols: Cellular, WiFi, NFC, Bluetooth, Z-Wave, Zigbee, RFID,
Smartdust, MEMS, TCP/IP, HAN
 Domains: Medical, Industrial, Vehicle, Retail, home, office, logistics
 Sensor Types: Light, HVAC, Magnetic, Seismic, Imaging, Thermal,
Acoustic, Chemical, Humidity, Location

3. Domains of Internet of Things
Activity- Control & Measurement

4. Latest Trends in IoT
The Internet of Things (IoT) is increasing the connectedness of
people and things on a scale that once was unimaginable. In
1995, only 0.7% of world population were connected to Internet
which became 15% in 2005 and now turned to 75% in 2015. This
Increment is not restricted to any particular domain only but in
each and every domain of IoT.

5. Expected Trends in IoT
As per report of Cisco IBSG, IoT is going to be one of the most
demanded scenario in the coming 5 years. In next 5 years, The world
population will increase to 7.6 billions from 7.2 billions whereas
Connected devices with IoT will get nearly doubled. The domain of
IoT is also expected to get expanded.

6. Interest Areas
My interest to Internet of Things is in business processes
such as the remote maintenance of industrial
machinery, supply-chain optimization and security,
and infrastructure management. If we had computers
that knew everything there was to know about things
(using data they gathered without any help from us)
then we would be able to track and count
everything, and greatly reduce waste, loss and cost.
We would know when things needed replacing,
repairing or recalling, and whether they were fresh or
past their best. This technology will soon see its way
into consumer devices.
