We present the design, implementation and evaluation of an enabling platform for locating and querying physical objects using existing WiFi network. We propose the use of WiFi management probes as a data transport mechanism for physical objects that are tagged with WiFi-enabled accelerometers and are capable of determining their state-of-use based on motion signatures. A local WiFi gateway captures these probes emitted from the connected objects and stores them locally after annotating them with a coarse grained location estimate using a proximity ranging algorithm. External applications can query the aggregated views of state-of-use and location traces of connected objects through a cloud-based query server. We present the technical architecture and algorithms of the proposed platform together with a prototype personal object analytics application and assess the feasibility of our different design decisions. This work makes important contributions by demonstrating that it is possible to build a pure network-based IoT analytics platform with only location and motion signatures of connected objects, and that the WiFi network is the key enabler for the future IoT applications.

Network Driven Behaviour Modelling for Designing User Centred IoT ServicesFahim Kawsar
We are observing a monumental effort from the industry and academia to make everything connected. Naturally, to understand the needs of these connected things, we need a better understanding of humans and where, when, and how they interact. Then we can create digital services and capabilities that fundamentally change the way we experience our lives. IoT 1.0 is all about connectivity, and scale. IoT 2.0 will be about learning and contextual automation. Designing intention- and behavior-aware services will be the principal source of differentiation, and competitive advantage for the industry players. In this talk I argue that for wide scale adoption, and market penetration of personalized IoT services, existing network infrastructure should play the key role for sensing and learning, by eliminating the cost of deployment and management of many sensors. I will show then how wireless network can be used as a sensing platform to model human behaviour and to redefine people-content, people-thing, and people-people interaction experience in an IoT enabled world.
What makes a great team? How to predict a team’s success? How to discover the next leader? How to design a workspace that boosts creativity? Does playful bright workspace make teams more productive? What makes a happy and stress free workspace? Answers to these questions can dramatically change the way modern organizations operate, manage their employees and measure success. In this talk, I will share how Bell Labs' research is helping organizations to find the answers of the above questions by taking an opportunistic network sensing approach that transforms quantified noise into social signals and uncovers hidden behavioural and communication patterns that exist within and across organisations. I will cover the behavioural inference engine of this system, and share some of the fascinating results based on year long deployments in multiple organisations around the world.

Fog Computing: Helping the Internet of Things Realize its PotentialHarshitParkar6677
The Internet of Things (IoT) promises to make
many items—including consumer electronic
devices, home appliances, medical devices, cameras,
and all types of sensors—part of the Internet
environment.1 This opens the door to innovations that
facilitate new interactions among things and humans,
and enables the realization of smart cities, infrastructures,
and services that enhance the quality of life.
IoT Challenges: Technological, Business and Social aspectsRoberto Minerva
Internet of Things is promising to be a set of technologies able to have a high impact on how people live, produce, modify and interact with the environment. Such a transformation is driven by increasing technologies capabilities of sensors/actuators, communications, general-purpose hardware, availability of software and programmability of devices. The integration of so different technologies is a problem in itself and IoT is also trying to solve cogent issues of specific problem domains, such as e-health, transportation, manufacturing, and so on. Large IoT systems (e.g., smart cities) stand on their own because the smartness requires integration of different technologies, processes and different administrative domains creating the needs to deal with a complex system. In addition to technological and problem domain specific challenges, there exist further challenges that fall in business, social and regulation realms. They can greatly impact the deployment and the success of IoT deployment. The speech aims at providing a view on some major technologies challenges of IoT and to cover a few critical business and social issues that could hamper the large deployment of IoT systems by providing some examples of implementation.

As the internet changes our life, cloud of things will change our life again This new technology cloud of things Emerging the following technology(iot-cloud-5g-nano tech-Hci-context awareness-natural interaction) that change the concept from love things and use people to love people and use things •we all specially developing countries /Africa
must catch the cloud of everything (thing-people-process-data)train to address
the 17 SDG Goals but if any one miss it will no hope at all
•The cloud of things technology, helping elderly and handicapped people and holds the promise of fixing the millennium-old human problems of poverty, disease, violence, and poor leadership in Africa and all the world
At a time when all the world are worried about the fast spreading Zika virus, it is figured out that a wearable device could be an effective tool for preventing it, "You can compute the genome of a human being in less than seven days," "One day we will have the genome sequence of all our patients and we are then in the position to compare [that] data on a regular base with reference data."
This allows clinicians to easily identify defects in the genome and can also be used to compute the chance that someone will get a type of cancer
. A true success comes when you help others be successful leaders create leader not followers. s. It is estimated that approximately 50 billion things will be connected to each other through the communication network by 2020. A massive set of data will be created
Or by 2030 for Africa…it will be good for 10 years difference so we can fix all Africa and developing countries problems in 2030 for developed countries in 2020
The IOT will create new services based on real-time physical world data and will transform businesses, industries, and the daily life of people. Smart cities (connected communities), smart planet (green environment), smart building (building, smart homes), smart industry (industrial environment), smart energy (electric grid), smart transport (intelligent transport system), smart living (entertainment, leisure), smart health (health care system) are examples of the Internet of things.
a true success comes when you help others be successful and this true success comes in case of universal adoption of cloud of things in Africa and all the world.

The evolution of semiconductor process technologies has enabled the design of low-cost, compact and high-performance embedded systems, which have enabled the concept of Internet of Things (IoT). In addition, technological advances in communication protocols and unsupervised Machine Learning (ML) techniques are leading to disruptive innovations. As a result, the IoT, a new era of massive numbers of smart connected devices, can enhance processes and enable new services in established industries, creating smart cities, e-health businesses, or industry 4.0.
However, major challenges remain in achieving this potential due to the inherent complexity of designing energy-efficient IoT architectures. Prof. Atienza will first present the challenges of ultra-low power (ULP) design and communication overhead in next-generation IoT devices in the context of Big Data processing. Then, the benefits of exploiting the latest knowledge of how mammalian nervous systems acquire, process, and share information between the internal systems to conceive future edge AI-enabled architectures for IoT will be discussed

Intelligent Internet of Things (IIoT): System Architectures and CommunicationsRaghu Nandy
Internet of Things (IoT) can be designed by various approaches with optimistic technology choices. This paper focuses on comparing recent studies on architectural choices and communication approaches for IoT Systems. Understanding Goals of an IoT system and inventing a general prototype for general IoT solutions is unique challenging. Existing research prototypes provide us information about IoT systems and their challenges. Existing architectures and communication approaches such as such as Service Oriented Architecture (SOA), Instant Messaging (XMPP) and Web- Sockets Service can be used to develop a general IoT System prototype. SOA provides centralized/decentralized IoT systems. Instant Message services such as XMPP can be used to build distributed and secure IoT platforms. Web-sockets also used to build scalable IoT systems. Over all the choice depends on IoT system Goal and limitations. Intelligent IoT (IIoT) Systems can be seen as decision making system. IoT systems can be built on Cloud infrastructures With Sensor Event as a Service (SEaaS) - Cloud Sensor networks can enable applications to access on demand real-time sensor data. A generic IoT platform can be built and extended to a newer applications and platforms.

Earables for Personal-scale Behaviour AnalyticsFahim Kawsar
Wearables are embracing AI, transforming the way we live, act, learn and behave as social human beings. However, what’s at stake for this “PopSci rhetoric” to happen is nothing short of an enormous multifaceted challenge. In this talk, I will explore the system and algorithmic challenges in modelling behaviour in this augmented human era. In particular, I will discuss how an "Earable" can be used as a multi-sensory computational platform to learn and infer human behaviour and to design ultra-personal connected services.
Computational Behaviour Modelling for the Internet of ThingsFahim Kawsar
We are observing a monumental effort from the industry and academia to make everything connected. Naturally, to understand the needs of these connected things, we need a better understanding of humans and where, when, and how they interact. This behavioural understanding would help us to create digital services and capabilities that fundamentally change the way we experience our lives. In this talk, I will explore the system and algorithmic challenges in modelling human behaviour. I will discuss how mobile and wearable devices together with the wireless network can be used as a multi-sensory computational platform to learn and infer human behaviour and to design user-centred connected services across Enterprise, Urban City and Lifestyle.
By 2050 the world’s urban population is expected to grow by 72%. This steep growth creates an unprecedented urge for understanding cities to enable planning for the future societal, economical and environmental well being of their citizens. The increasing deployments of Internet of Thing (IoT) technologies and the rise of so-called “Sensored Cities” are opening up new opportunities towards forming a profound understanding of the relationship of the citizens with their cities. Dr. Fahim Kawsar, the Director of the Internet of Things research at Bell Labs thinks that while silicon sensing helps us to know our cities quantitatively, it is also important to understand the city qualitatively by capturing the subjective metrics such as citizen well being, perception of safety, trust, cleanliness, friendliness, happiness, etc. In his talk he will explain how Bell labs’ research is addressing this aspect of urban landscape.

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).

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

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.

• Mobile Object Tags
• Attached to mobile objects
• Model state-of-use based on motion signature
• Transport data using WiFi probes
• Static Object Tags
• Attached to static objects
• Model state-of-use based on vibration signature
• Capture probes from mobile tags and forward to home node.
Prototype mobile tag with ESP8266 SoC with
integrated WiFi, flash, MCU and accelerometer
(Freescale MMA8452Q).
Prototype static objects tag with Raspberry PI. The
tags are powered and have two identical WiFi
interfaces (Ralink 5370), one for capturing probes
and the other for the connection to home node.
• Data Transport by WiFi probes for minimum energy expenditure
The object tags leverage the IEEE 802.11 standard’s management
frames to propagate the states to the home node.
We use a dedicated SSID and a single bit in the probe in that
SSID value to reflect the state of the object.
11
12. Home Node
• Home node is implemented with a Meshlium Gateway from Libelium
• Features a 500MHz x86 processor
• Two WiFi interfaces
• Runs an embedded Debian Linux operating system
• Both services are implemented with Node.js and a SQLite database is
used to store data.
Proximity Ranging Service
• Collects probes from object tags and annotates them with a coarse-grained location using a One-vs-One SVM
Classifier using a universal Gaussian kernel.
Data Storage Service
• Stores the objects location and state of use data in a local storage.
The space is divided into K overlapping zones, where each zone is represented by a Static Object Tag, here Xi
represents the vector of the RSSI values of a mobile object tag received by different static objects tags.

13. Query Server
ô EF5
Personal Object AnalyticsQuery Server
Anchor Points Query Service
Index Service
The query server and its components are implemented in Node.js with mongoDB and runs in Docker container.
Anchor Points
• An anchor point maintains a persistent connection with a home node using web sockets with failover support.
• Over this connection, an anchor point forwards queries to a home node and receives the query responses.
Index Service
• A B+ based key-value store that is used to locate the home node that contains the data relevant to the query.
Query Service
• A Stateless service that acts as a query broker
• Uses Index Service to identify home node for relevant query, and uses Anchor Point to fetch data from home node.
• Supports aggregated query, no raw data (e.g., RSSI, accelerometer reading) is provided.

• Essentially there is one significant peak for each outgoing packet, which is significantly smaller in comparison to
application level processing where multiple connections are maintained.
• A tag can achieve almost 1 year battery life based on 850 mAh battery with a premise that a household object
reports on an average 10 updates (state-of-use and location changes) with probes per day. This is based on the
published deep sleep consumption of 78uA, a transmit consumption of 70mA, a 80% efficiency of the regulator.

We are the first to show the feasibility of developing a WiFi-only solution for connected object analytics
which radically minimises deployment and management cost.
We present the design, implementation and evaluation of an end-to-end personal object analytics
platform build around only location and motion signatures of connected objects. We show that these
two pieces of information are enough to develop useful IoT applications by illustrating a personal object
analytics application.
We demonstrate how the design decisions and corresponding algorithms used in this work address
critical technical challenges with respect to energy, inference accuracy and computational overhead.

You Own Your Data, You Sell Your Data
• Our cloudlet based design scheme coupled with WiFi management frame based data transport
offer implicit privacy and data protection as Data remains in the home gateway and this provides
users with the control of their own data to do whatever they want to do with them – delete, sell
or share.
• An advantage of these design schemes is that, it opens up opportunity for wilful monetisation of
personal data
