This document provides an overview and introduction to an upcoming competence center (CC) about the Internet of Things (IoT). The CC will include both theoretical sessions and practical hands-on sessions working with devices like Arduino and Raspberry Pi. IoT is broadly defined as physical objects connected to the internet that can be remotely monitored and controlled. The CC will focus on sensors, data acquisition, machine communication, analyzing data, and business uses of IoT. Upcoming sessions will cover IoT basics, the Raspberry Pi, and additional topics to be determined based on member input.
