Attaining IoT Value: How To Move from Connecting Things to Capturing InsightsSustainable Brands
Cisco estimates that the Internet of Everything (IoE) — the networked connection of people, process, data, and things — will generate $19 trillion in Value at Stake for the private and public sectors combined between 2013 and 2022. More than 42 percent of this value — $8 trillion — will come from one of IoE’s chief enablers, the Internet of Things (IoT). Defined by Cisco as “the intelligent connectivity of physical devices, driving massive gains in efficiency, business growth, and quality of life,” IoT often represents the quickest path to IoE value for private and public sector organizations.
This paper combines original and secondary research, as well as economic analysis, to provide a roadmap for maximizing value from IoT investments. It also explains why, in the worlds of IoT and IoE, the combination of edge computing/analytics and data center/cloud is essential to driving actionable insights that produce improved business outcomes.

Who will pay for IoT and why? - Atanu Roy Chowdhury, Senior Product Manager a...Lounge47
“WHO WILL PAY FOR IoT AND WHY? " was a thought-provoking session. Here are the Lounge47 key takeaways: 1.IoT is a self-organizing system of Internet connected peripheral systems providing new and improved converged services 2.The value of the digitally charged thing in IoT comes from an extension of the local function with new digital services. Thing(s) + IT=Local function + measurements (historical, instantaneous) leading to new services and supercharged functions 3.The IoT hype is about the opportunity to monetize services from 50b connected devices by 2020 4.IoT devices can be classified by human desires - to know (omniscence), for human connection (telepathy), to protect & be protected (safekeeping), to be healthy & vital ( immortality), to move effortlessly (teleportation), to create, make and play (expression) 5.The IoT difference: Edgeware driving value, the “ecosystem of devices” paradigm and the possibilities for entrepreneurship 6.PC to Mobile industry to IoT is transitioning the traditional “top down” to a more collaborative approach 7.Value to the customer: a.high resolution real-time information b.M2M silos interconnected for greater visibility c.Interoperated and leveraged common infrastructure d.low cost solution solving specific consumer pain points e.improved traceability, resource utilization, health and safety 8.Value to developer: a.can handle multiple business models b.can handle multiple deployment models c.can create new products and services to diversify revenues d. Services in addition to devices can be created by developers 8. The actors in the IoT ecosystem – those that, discover new services, deliver supercharged services, create supercharged services, create Smart Things 9.Technical best practices: a.cost of data acquisition is not homogeneous b.diversity in sensors, devices and vendors is endemic c.business requirements can exceed technology reach d.device failures will happen, plan to handle them e. ensure that products are certified f.security is not an afterthought 10.Business best practices: a.device costs are a function of volumes, functionality and robustness b.there is a creepiness factor to IoT solutions c.new services require training d.market potential is hard to guesstimate e.Know your competition f.understand local regulations and tax regimes g.Process changes will be resisted h.Disgruntled customers seldom return 11. Different Business Models should be considered.
In summary, IoT offers significant opportunities, but the successful players will be those that emphasize and deliver value relative to existing services rather than just offer new functionality with undeterminable value.

Cloud computing, edge computing, is a kind of conflict, a convergence of views. Take a look at the technology trends of edge computing, also Let's take a look at what it's like to look at cloud computing
While use of the cloud today is generally associated with the ability to reduce costs and improve efficiency, widespread adoption of this technology is projected to have a transformative effect on all businesses of all sizes.
For many, web-scale IT is an alien and drastic approach being met with fear and resistance. So the first question for any organization should be; what is it? Cameron Haight, Gartner’s chief of research for infrastructure and operations, coined the term “Web-scale IT” earlier 2014 as a way to describe the new ways organizations leverage technology to provide their customers with content quickly and at massive scale.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

How does cloud figure into the Internet
of Things?
Internet ofThings (IoT) has firmly moved
beyond the hype according to our latest
research, but as companies start to consider
how to build out the next generation of
IoT offerings – products, applications and
services – there seems to be no shortage of
uncertainty surrounding how developers and
IT departments will be impacted, or the likely
role for cloud services within IoT. Developers
need a robust ecosystem of performant, secure
technologies and platforms to develop these
offerings, but the consensus around which
ones best meet these requirements, and extent
of the learning curve involved in developing
IoT services – and the requirement to seek out
new personnel skilled in a range of different
technologies – is still evolving.While developers
have already found use for cloud-based services
within their IoT offerings, it’s equally clear that
concerns around security, performance, ease of
use and skills may dictate cloud’s future role in
IoT projects and architectures.
Are developers sold on cloud for Internet
of Things?
According to our recent BCN andTelecoms.com
Cloud and IoT survey, which includes responses
from over 651 developers and IT professionals,
enterprises are firmly sold on the coupling
of IoT and cloud and are well on their way to
developing applications and services.
About 65 per cent of respondents agree
or strongly agree companies that are slow
to integrate cloud – whether at the storage,
middleware, ancillary service or application
level – into their IoT solutions will fall behind
the competition, so it is clear IT organisations
themselves see a pivotal role for cloud in IoT.
By contrast, 78 per cent disagree or strongly
disagree that there is no space for cloud
services in IoT.
Where – and in what capacity – cloud
will figure into these architectures seems to
be a matter of debate, but what is clear is
that most believe cloud-based development
platforms will be essential for building IoT
applications and cloud services. This is, in part,
because of efficiency gains and architectural
improvements – about 78 per cent of
respondents think developing IoT applications
and services in the cloud makes it easier to
connect up IoT sensors with a series of other
cloud-based services.
Roughly 35 per cent said their organisations
are researching how cloud development
platforms can be used in the delivery of IoT
products and services, and 19 per cent said
Cloudy with a chance of IoT
they are in the early implementation stages.
Just over three quarters of respondents (77
per cent) are either considering, planning to
use, or in the early implementation stages of
using a cloud-based development platform
for their IoT services. It also seems use of
cloud-based development platforms for IoT
is set to grow in the enterprise. About 36 per
cent of respondents believe over half of their
organisation will use cloud-based development
platforms to create their IoT offerings, and over
a quarter (28 per cent) believe that three years
from now these platforms will be used by the
majority of their organisation.
When looking at cloud at different levels
of the stack, three quarters of respondents
(74 per cent) believe these services can solve
middleware challenges for IoT, 70 per cent
believe cloud can help solve architectural
constraints associated with delivering IoT
applications and services, and 68 per cent agree
or strongly agree that cloud can also help solve

Cloud and IoT
storage problems associated with IoT sensor-
generated data and logs.This may be because
IoT typically implies the interconnection of
a range of devices – potentially speaking an
equally broad range of languages – sending
data to a centralised repository from the very
edge of a network.The importance of robust
middleware within that context cannot be
stressed enough. Cloud storage is also useful
for IoT developers that may not have enough
capital to deploy on-premise storage that is
scalable enough to meet the demands; with
cloud developers can also shard and / or
replicate data to a range of different storage
services, optimising for any number of variables
including latency, proximity to data processing
services (i.e. analytics), and cost.
Overall, cloud seems to be the preferred
delivery mechanism for a number of
applications and services, and IoT is no
exception. Roughly 63 per cent think cloud-
based applications are more suited to IoT
services than on-premise alternatives, which
may have much to do with where developers
see cloud being most useful in IoT – namely,
data analysis. When asked to choose where
cloud-based services will be most useful in
IoT the top response (38 per cent) was for
deploying‘analytics to analyse IoT data’, with
‘enterprise or consumer-facing application’(33
per cent) coming a close second. Apart from
the obvious – that much of the value derived
from IoT comes from the insights generated
by the data – these results seem to reflect
the fact that software connectors to big data
services are generally becoming delivered as
standardised sets of APIs, and applications of
all kinds are increasingly being built as mobile-
first web apps. Code maintenance also seems
to factor into the equation – about 63 per
cent of respondents said cloud-based apps
are easier to maintain than their on-premise
alternatives.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, IoT security seems to
be top of mind for IT personnel, especially when
it comes to the cloud development platforms
being used; indeed, security and data privacy
seem to be two dominant recurring themes
in cloud more broadly.The top two features
respondents are looking for from cloud-based
platforms were security (78 per cent said‘very
important’) and data privacy (73 per cent said
‘very important’). But compatibility with a wide
range of devices and standards and the ability
to support robust data analysis capabilities
also rank quite high on the priority list for IT
professionals. Nearly two thirds (63 per cent) say
protocol and connectivity support for different
IoT devices was a‘very important’cloud-based
development platform capability, and half of
respondents said the same about broad IoT
standards support.This speaks to the relative
youth of the IoT sector and the fact that there
is preciously little consensus on standards.
The growing number and variety of systems
and technologies being stitched together to
create IoT services today are closed, proprietary
systems, and it will take some time for the
industry to form best practice and consolidate
around open standards.
Data analysis support also ranks quite
highly among respondents, with close to half
saying the ability of cloud-based development
platforms to support analysis of large volumes
of data is‘very important’. Interestingly, nearly
95 per cent of respondents say it is either
‘important’or‘very important’for these
platforms to support analysis of data in motion,
which suggests developers are overwhelmingly
looking to generate insights into their data in
real-time from their IoT services.
There’s always a‘but’and IoT is no exception
Though it is clear enterprises are sold on the use
of cloud for IoT, it is equally clear IT organisations
(close to 70 per cent of respondents) see a
range of potential inhibitors that may shape the

architecture and deployment models for these
services.
For instance, about 70 per cent of
respondents think private cloud platforms are
more likely to power IoT services because of
data privacy / security concerns; 63 per cent
believe IoT app performance will struggle on
public cloud services due to variable demand of
shared resources; and close to two thirds (about
64 per cent) believe today’s cloud datacentres
aren’t equipped to handle the volume of IoT
data and services.
But IT professionals are still concerned
about storing and processing IoT data in the
cloud. Roughly 63 per cent think cloud for IoT
services makes these services inherently less
secure or more vulnerable to cyber-attack.
And while 55 per cent agree public cloud is
secure enough to host data generated from
IoT sensors, about a third (32 per cent) of
respondents disagree or strongly disagree, so
there seems to be little consensus on the role
public cloud will play in IoT.
Lastly, standards – or the lack thereof –
seem to be a big challenge in this segment.
When asked to identity chief obstacles to
using a cloud-based IoT platform, the number
one response (indicated by 47 per cent of
respondents) was‘immaturity of industry
standards around the IoT’, followed by
‘undeveloped consumer awareness about IoT’
(28 per cent).
IoT will require new skills, people
Where IT professionals seem to be most split is
on the internal availability of skills required of
developers and IT organisations to develop IoT
services, along with the availability of suitably
skilled personnel in the job market.
About 70 per cent of respondents said their
organisations need to hire more IT personnel
to help develop IoT services; but just over half
(56 per cent) said their development teams
already have the necessary skills or resources
to develop IoT services, and 53 per cent say the
skills currently found in their IT departments are
transferable to the IoT space.
These results suggest the need for sheer
manpower required to deliver additional
projects in new areas like IoT outstrips the
internal skills gap these enterprises believe
they face – but not by much, with 44 per cent
claiming their internal IT organisations aren’t
suitably skilled.
IT professionals are also seem to be split on
the availability of personnel skilled in IoT-specific
roles in the job market. Respondents were split
on whether or not there is adequate availability
of operational technology skills to support
IoT – slightly more agree (36 per cent) than
disagree (35 per cent); on availability of IoT data
analytic skills – about 37 per cent don’t think
there is enough, compared with 32 per cent
that believe there is; and on availability of IT
development skills to support IoT – about 38
per cent agree there is adequate availability of
IT development skills to support IoT in the job
market, while 32 per cent disagree.
Respondents were, however, more decided
in other areas where capable candidates are
lacking: 63 per cent agree or somewhat agree
there is a shortage of candidates capable of
setting up analytics platforms for IoT services,
and close to half don’t think there is adequate
availability of IoT-specific data interpretation
skills in the job market. Given the emphasis on
data analytics indicated earlier, the results are
slightly worrying, but could also speak to the
nascent state of the IoT segment (and the skills
and technologies specific to it) not keeping
pace with the level of interests being found
in organisations.What seems clear given the
emphasis on analytics is most consider the
insights generated from IoT services to be of
extremely high value.
ConcludingThoughts
There is growing interest in the Internet of
Things among organisations today and it is
clear many IT professionals have set out to
create, or are in the process of creating, IoT
products, applications and services.There
is also a growing consensus that cloud will
be a pivotal part of IoT architectures and
projects, particularly the development
platforms being used to create the services,
the applications themselves, and analysis of
the data generated by IoT sensors. Many view
cloud-based development platforms as a key
and growing component of these projects,
but it’s equally clear developers also see a big
role for cloud services in alleviating storage and
communications bottlenecks.
But the results of the BCN andTelecoms.
com Cloud and IoT survey also suggest
IT professionals are deeply worried about
standards, something sorely lacking in this
nascent space; the ability of datacentre
infrastructure to keep pace with the explosion
in data processing and storage volume and
velocity IoT beckons; and, the security and
data privacy implications of cloud in the mix,
particularly public cloud when it comes to
storing or processing IoT generated data –
most seem to be leaning towards private
cloud for deployment as a results. Lastly, the
results suggest IT organisations are split on
the availability of many of the skills required to
generate insights from their IoT services and
set up IoT projects, and the degree to which IT
departments will have to upskill – though more
certain that developing IoT services will require
more personnel.
