By 2020, experts forecast that up to 28 billion devices will be connected to the Internet with only one third of them being computers, smartphones and tablets. The remaining two thirds will be other “devices” – sensors, terminals, household appliances, thermostats, televisions, automobiles, production machinery, urban infrastructure and many other “things”, which traditionally have not been Internet enabled.
This “Internet of Things” (IoT) represents a remarkable transformation of the way in which our world will soon interact. Much like the World Wide Web connected computers to networks, and the next evolution connected people to the Internet and other people, IoT looks poised to interconnect devices, people, environments, virtual objects and machines in ways that only science fiction writers could have imagined.
In a nutshell the Internet of Things (IoT) is the convergence of connecting people, things, data and processes is transforming our life, business and everything in between.

After reading the Top 14 IoT Trends to Emerge in 2023 article, you will learn about what the 14 IoT Trends will be happening.
What is IoT?
The Internet of Things (IoT) is a system of connected devices, digital machines, and users with unique identifiers and network transportability that eliminates the need for human-to-human or human-to-machine interaction.
IoT is an important part of the new generation of information technology. Unlike the Internet, the main application objects of IoT are some physical devices, such as vehicles, home appliances, buildings, etc.
By embedding electronic software, sensors and some network connection devices in these physical devices, the exchange of data between devices can be realized, thus establishing a set of interconnected networks.
According to statistics, more than 43 billion devices are currently expected to be connected to the IoT worldwide, which will generate, share, collect and help people use data in a variety of ways.

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.
Application and Usefulness of Internet of Things in Information TechnologyDr. Amarjeet Singh
The Internet of Things (IoT) is a system of
interrelated computing devices, mechanical and digital
machines, objects, animals or people that are provided with
unique identifiers and the ability to transfer data over a
network without requiring human-to-human or human-tocomputer interaction. It is an ambiguous term, but it is fast
becoming a tangible technology that can be applied in data
centers to collect information on just about anything that
IT wants to control. IoT has evolved from the convergence
of wireless technologies, micro-electromechanical systems
(MEMS), microservices and the internet. The convergence
has helped tear down the silo walls between operational
technology (OT) and information technology (IT), allowing
unstructured machine-generated data to be analyzed for
insights that will drive improvements. The Internet of
Things (IoT) is essentially a system of machines or objects
outfitted with data-collecting technologies so that those
objects can communicate with one another. The machineto-machine (M2M) data that is generated has a wide range
of uses, but is commonly seen as a way to determine the
health and status of things -- inanimate or living.
WIRELESS SENSORS INTEGRATION INTO INTERNET OF THINGS AND THE SECURITY PRIMITIVEScsandit
The common vision of smart systems today, is by and large associated with one single concept,
the internet of things (IoT), where the whole physical infrastructure is linked with intelligent
monitoring and communication technologies through the use of wireless sensors. In such an
intelligent vibrant system, sensors are connected to send useful information and control
instructions via distributed sensor networks. Wireless sensors have an easy deployment and
better flexibility of devices contrary to wired setup. With the rapid technological development of
sensors, wireless sensor networks (WSNs) will become the key technology for IoT and an
invaluable resource for realizing the vision of Internet of things (IoT) paradigm. It is also
important to consider whether the sensors of a WSN should be completely integrated into IoT or
not. New security challenges arise when heterogeneous sensors are integrated into the IoT. Security needs to be considered at a global perspective, not just at a local scale. This paper gives an overview of sensor integration into IoT, some major security challenges and also a
number of security primitives that can be taken to protect their data over the internet.
The Internet of Things has become the most disruptive technology of the 21st century. The IoT industry was possible because of the progress in AI, Big Data & Cloud Computing.
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.
In this seminar you will listen to in depth explanation of the hottest technologies in 2019 and beyond. Prof. Banafa will discuss each technology its applications and challenges with real life cases. The interaction among all the four technology will be explored with focus on future trends in each of technology. As all technologies can be summarized in one word IBAC (IoT, Blockchain, AI, Cybersecurity) they can be explained with the following words: IoT: senses, Blockchain: remembers, AI: thinks, and Cybersecurity: protects.
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.
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.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Internet of Things (IoT): More than Smart “Things”
1. 1
Internet of Things (IoT): More than Smart “Things”
By 2020, experts forecast that up to 28 billion devices will be connected to the Internet with only one
third of them being computers, smartphones and tablets. The remaining two thirds will be other “devices”
– sensors, terminals, household appliances, thermostats, televisions, automobiles, production machinery,
urban infrastructure and many other “things”, which traditionally have not been Internet enabled.
This “Internet of Things” (IoT) represents a remarkable transformation of the way in which our world will
soon interact. Much like the World Wide Web connected computers to networks, and the next evolution
connected people to the Internet and other people, IoT looks poised to interconnect devices, people,
environments, virtual objects and machines in ways that only science fiction writers could have imagined.
In a nutshell the Internet of Things (IoT) is the convergence of connecting people, things, data and
processes is transforming our life, business and everything in between.
A fair question to ask at this point is how IoT differs from machine to machine (M2M), which has been
around for decades. Is IoT simply M2M with IPv6 addresses or is it really something revolutionary?
To answer this question you need to know that M2M, built on proprietary and closed systems, was
designed to move data securely in real-time and mainly used for automation, instrumentation and control.
It was targeted at point solutions (for example, using sensors to monitor an oil well), deployed by
technology buyers, and seldom integrated with enterprise applications to help improve corporate
performance.
2. 2
While, IoT, on the other hand, is built with interoperability in mind and is aimed at integrating
sensor/device data with analytics and enterprise applications to provide unprecedented insights into
business processes,operations, and supplier and customer relationships. IoT is therefore,a “tool” that is
likely to become invaluable to CEOs, CFOs and General Managers of business units. (WPC)
The technical definition of The Internet of Things (IoT) is the network of physical objects accessed
through the Internet. These objects contain embedded technology to interact with internal states or the
external environment. In other words, when an object can sense and communicate, it changes how and
where decisions are made,and who makes them.
Source: https://ams-ix.net/
Due to the great breadth in the number of industries which have begun to be or soon will be affected by
IoT, it’s not right to define IoT as a unified “market”. Rather, in an abstract sense, as a technology “wave”
that will sweep across many industries at different points in time. The Internet of Things (IoT) is
emerging as the third wave in the development of the Internet. The 1990s’ Internet wave connected 1
billion users while the 2000s’ mobile wave connected another 2 billion. The IoT has the potential to
connect 10X as many (28 billion) “things” to the Internet by 2020, ranging from bracelets to cars.
3. 3
Breakthroughs in the cost of sensors,processing power and bandwidth to connect devices are enabling
ubiquitous connections right now. Smart products like smart watches and thermostats (Nest) are already
gaining traction as stated in Goldman Sachs Global Investment Research’s report.
IoT has key attributes that distinguish it from the “regular” Internet, as captured by Goldman Sachs’s S-E-
N-S-E framework: Sensing, Efficient, Networked, Specialized, Everywhere. These attributes may tilt the

A number of significant technology changes have come together to enable the rise of the IoT. These
include the following:
Cheap sensors – Sensor prices have dropped to an average 60 cents from $1.30 in the past 10
years.
Cheap bandwidth – The cost of bandwidth has also declined precipitously, by a factor of nearly
40X over the past 10 years.
Cheap processing – Similarly, processing costs have declined by nearly 60X over the past 10
years,enabling more devices to be not just connected, but smart enough to know what to do with
all the new data they are generating or receiving.

Smartphones – Smartphones are now becoming the personal gateway to the IoT, serving as a
remote control or hub for the connected home, connected car,or the health and fitness devices
consumers are increasingly starting to wear.
Ubiquitouswireless coverage – With Wi-Fi coverage now ubiquitous, wireless connectivity is
available for free or at a very low cost, given Wi-Fi utilizes unlicensed spectrum and thus does
not require monthly access fees to a carrier.
Big data – As the IoT will by definition generate voluminous amounts of unstructured data, the
availability of big data analytics is a key enabler.
IPv6 – Most networking equipment now supports IPv6, the newest version of the Internet
Protocol (IP) standard that is intended to replace IPv4. IPv4 supports 32-bit addresses,which
translates to about 4.3 billion addresses – a number that has become largely exhausted by all the
connected devices globally. In contrast, IPv6 can support 128-bit addresses,translating to
approximately 3.4 x 1038 addresses – an almost limitless number that can amply handle all
conceivable IoT devices.

Industrial Internet
"The Internet of Things will give IT managers a lot to think about," said Vernon Turner, Senior Vice
President of Research at IDC. "Enterprises will have to address every IT discipline to effectively balance
the deluge of data from devices that are connected to the corporate network. In addition, IoT will drive
tough organizational structure changes in companies to allow innovation to be transparent to everyone,
while creating new competitive business models and products."
IoT is shaping modern business- manufacturing to marketing. A lot has been already changed since the
inception of the Internet and many more will get changed with the greater Internet connectivity and reach.
The global network connecting people, data and machines are transforming the modern business is also
called Industrial Internet.The so called Industrial Internet had potential of $10 to $15 trillion to global
GDP in next two decades.

The “buzz” surrounding IoT has so far been more focused on the home, consumer and wearables markets,
and tends to overshadow the enormous potential of Internet Protocol (IP) connected products in industrial
and business/ enterprise worlds. IoT in the consumer world is effectively a greenfield opportunity with no
installed base and no dominant vendors, whereas there are many examples of connected products in this
6. 6
arena. the definition of the “Industrial and business/enterprise Internet” for IoT purposes refers to all non-
consumer applications of the Internet of Things, ranging from smart cities, smart power grids, connected
health, retail, supply chain and military applications. The technologies and solutions needed for creating
smart connected products and processes share many common attributes across industrial and business
verticals.

The IoT Value Chain
The IoT value chain is broad, extremely complex and spans many industries including those as diverse as
semiconductors, industrial automation, networking, wireless and wireline operators, software vendors,
security and systems integrators. Because of this complexity, very few companies will be able to
successfully solve all of the associated problems or exploit the potential opportunities. (WPC)

Internet ofThings Predictions
According to IDC , IoT will go through a hug growth in the coming years in many directions:
1. IoT and the Cloud. Within the next five years,more than 90% of all IoT data will be hosted on
service provider platforms as cloud computing reduces the complexity of supporting IoT "Data
Blending".
2. IoT and security. Within two years,90% of all IT networks will have an IoT-based security
breach,although many will be considered "inconveniences." Chief Information Security Officers
(CISOs) will be forced to adopt new IoT policies.
3. IoT at the edge. By 2018, 40% of IoT-created data will be stored, processed,analyzed, and acted
upon close to, or at the edge, of the network.
4. IoT and network capacity. Within three years,50% of IT networks will transition from having
excess capacity to handle the additional IoT devices to being network constrained with nearly
10% of sites being overwhelmed.
8. 8
5. IoT and non-traditional infrastructure. By 2017, 90% of datacenter and enterprise systems
management will rapidly adopt new business models to manage non-traditional infrastructure and
BYOD device categories.
6. IoT and vertical diversification. Today,over 50% of IoT activity is centered in manufacturing,
transportation, smart city, and consumer applications, but within five years all industries will have
rolled out IoT initiatives.
7. IoT and the Smart City. Competing to build innovative and sustainable smart cities, local
government will represent more than 25% of all government external spending to deploy,
manage, and realize the business value of the IoT by 2018.
8. IoT and embedded systems. By 2018, 60% of IT solutions originally developed as proprietary,
closed-industry solutions will become open-sourced allowing a rush of vertical-driven IoT
markets to form.
9. IoT and wearables. Within five years, 40% of wearables will have evolved into a viable
consumer mass market alternative to smartphones.
10. IoT and millennials. By 2018, 16% of the population will be Millennials and will be accelerating
IoT adoption due to their reality of living in a connected world.
Challenges facing IoT
IoT is shaping human life with greater connectivity and ultimate functionality through ubiquitous
networking to the Internet. It will be more personal and predictive and merge the physical world and the
virtual world to create a highly personalized and often predictive connected experience. With all the
promises and potential, IoT still has to resolve three major issues, unified standards for devices, privacy
and security. Without the consideration of strong security at all joints of the IoT and protection of data,
the progress of IoT will be hindered by litigations and social resistance. The expansion of IoT be slow
without common standards for the connected devices or sensers .
