Azure IoT Hub is a PaaS scalable and multi-tenant platform that allows developers to easely build features like device registration, secure bidirectional communication between their core platform and their devices in the field, and at the same time be the hub for all the massive amount of data being generated by all those sensors that needs to be processed and stored, and with all that has become a core piece of a IoT solution that you want to build. On this session you will get to know the Azure IoT hub pretty well, getting introduced to the main features and seeing it in action and how fast you can deploy a solution with it and take the most out of Azure and your sensors to start making the most out of those sensors and their data.

Industrial automation industry exploring and
implementing IoT
By Bill Lydon
T
he idea of the Internet of Things (IoT)
has been creating a great deal of ex-
citement in the computing and com-
munications industry for some time.
Currently, the industrial automation
industry is starting to explore and
implement IoT concepts and technology. Other
terms related to these concepts are machine to
machine (M2M), Internet of Everything, Inter-
net of Things, and IP (Internet protocol) to the
Edge. Kevin Ashton, a British technology pio-
neer, is generally attributed with inventing the
term “the Internet of Things” in 1999; although
the concept has been discussed in literature
since at least 1991 (www.en.wikipedia.org/
wiki/Kevin_Ashton). Commercially, in 2008
IBM launched its Smart Planet initiative. The
same year, the nonproft IP for Smart Objects
(IPSO) Alliance was started with more than 50
members from technology, communications,
and energy companies to promote the IP for
“smart object” communications.
The IoT vision is of a massively instrumented
world of intelligent sensors (analog and digi-
tal) and actuators (analog and digital) com-
municating using IP to improve performance
and effciency. Internet protocol is the primary
pr.

Transforming Brand Perception and Boosting Profitabilityaaryangarg12
In today's digital era, the dynamics of brand perception, consumer behavior, and profitability have been profoundly reshaped by the synergy of branding, social media, and website design. This research paper investigates the transformative power of these elements in influencing how individuals perceive brands and products and how this transformation can be harnessed to drive sales and profitability for businesses.
Through an exploration of brand psychology and consumer behavior, this study sheds light on the intricate ways in which effective branding strategies, strategic social media engagement, and user-centric website design contribute to altering consumers' perceptions. We delve into the principles that underlie successful brand transformations, examining how visual identity, messaging, and storytelling can captivate and resonate with target audiences.
Methodologically, this research employs a comprehensive approach, combining qualitative and quantitative analyses. Real-world case studies illustrate the impact of branding, social media campaigns, and website redesigns on consumer perception, sales figures, and profitability. We assess the various metrics, including brand awareness, customer engagement, conversion rates, and revenue growth, to measure the effectiveness of these strategies.
The results underscore the pivotal role of cohesive branding, social media influence, and website usability in shaping positive brand perceptions, influencing consumer decisions, and ultimately bolstering sales and profitability. This paper provides actionable insights and strategic recommendations for businesses seeking to leverage branding, social media, and website design as potent tools to enhance their market position and financial success.

Book Formatting: Quality Control Checks for DesignersConfidence Ago
This presentation was made to help designers who work in publishing houses or format books for printing ensure quality.
Quality control is vital to every industry. This is why every department in a company need create a method they use in ensuring quality. This, perhaps, will not only improve the quality of products and bring errors to the barest minimum, but take it to a near perfect finish.
It is beyond a moot point that a good book will somewhat be judged by its cover, but the content of the book remains king. No matter how beautiful the cover, if the quality of writing or presentation is off, that will be a reason for readers not to come back to the book or recommend it.
So, this presentation points designers to some important things that may be missed by an editor that they could eventually discover and call the attention of the editor.
Book Formatting: Quality Control Checks for Designers
IoT Standardisation Panel

2. Information Technology is beginning to have a profound effect on the way the Built Environment is planned, designed, procured, constructed and operated. http://iot.io/ @djdunc
3. 3D GIS Kwun Tong Line Extension Preliminary Design, Hong Kong http://iot.io/ @djdunc
4. "Arguably the most significant barrier to the evolution of the Intelligent/Smart building over the years has been the lack of standardisation. It has taken the IT industry and the success of IP to provide the necessary common platform for the building controls and automation industry to now produce systems that adhere to the standard provided by IP." http://iot.io/ @djdunc
5. "It may talk IP, communicate in an open language like BACnet and integrate with other IT standards through ESB, XML etc, but the fact remains that if I want to change the way my controller operates the AHU or the lights (or make those systems talk to each other), then I still need the controller manufacturers programming application to do that – I’m still locked into them through the software; it’s just that they’ve hidden it way down at the controller level and protected it with a password/dongle/key by some means." http://iot.io/ @djdunc
6. “[what can we learn] from a web approach to interoperability? Web sites and services can expose APIs and this approach could work well to make physical things talk, too. REST interfaces for instance could be implemented for any device to get, set, add, remove data. It would be great to have completely transparent, open and standardised protocols, but it the meanwhile just having an open, well documented API might just work and keep the suppliers and manufacturers happy about their proprietary stuff." http://iot.io/ @djdunc
Editor's Notes
I have three different quotes from designers at Arup that illustrate some of the practical issues around standards in the world of buildings.First observation:The current trend is for a steady move away from proprietary offerings to standards based solutions that are: integrated, cheaper and more reliable. There has been significant change over the past 5 years that I have sat in at controls conferences as vendors talk about their systems. 5 years ago it was rare that you would hear someone mention open standards, today it is a basic requirement in the sales pitch.
Observation 2.We are getting there.Getting data out of systems is becoming easier as suppliers think about how to present the data that their systems are capturing. But actuating control is still hard and not so commonplace. Which is not necessarily a surprise since the control companies would expect their job to be doing the controlling. But we are obviously missing a huge opportunity here since it makes the integration of systems to support holistic control based on multiple independent systems difficult.
Observation 3:In addition to the technical / political challenges of what standard to specify there are two very practical problems. The first is a cultural one where there are entrenched views and nervousness about responsibilities for delivering and operating systems that are likely to consist of separate “plug and play” elements. The second is around the commercial barriers that will require changes to business models for many incumbents who are currently doing reasonably well. To move from a project and product focus to one of service and performance based facilities management requires different skill sets and therefore new risks.
