This document discusses the concept of the "Internet of Things" and how connecting everyday objects to the internet through sensors and communication capabilities could help address issues like environmental monitoring and sustainability. Specifically, it proposes a system that uses small wireless sensors powered by trees to monitor forests for fires, with the data transmitted between sensors and to a command center. It advocates for an open Internet of Things to give people a direct role in measuring issues like air pollution and climate change in order to motivate solutions.

1. Internet of Things
Leandro Agrò
“Può la Internet delle Cose,
contribuire a salvare questo
Pianeta?”

2. Ovviamente la risposta è…

3. Quale il cambiamento?
• OGGI:
Mobilità avanzata: iPhone / Android
• DOMANI:
Oggetti e Sensori Connessi alla Rete,
“Internet of Things”

4. Mobilità Avanzata
• Apple ha venduto SEI milioni di iPhone3G in
SETTE settimane, ma soprattutto ha segnato
il reale momento di nascita per il mercato
delle APPLICAZIONI PER DEVICE MOBILI

5. Internet delle Cose
• Per quanto Internet sia pervasiva, oggi il numero
degli oggetti/device connessi alla Rete è
ridicolmente inferiore rispetto al numero degli
oggetti NON connessi.
La prossima rivoluzione del mercato sarà data dalla
necessità di sostituire gli oggetti non connessi,
nonché di collegare in Internet Reti di Sensori.

7. Cosa Facciamo
• Sviluppiamo sw inper espanderne le
stiamo lavorando
ambito mobilità avanzata e
potenzialità con add-on hardware dedicati
• Abbiamo realizzato un protocollo di delle
comunicazione avanzata per la Internet
cose, lo abbiamo reso disponibile in Open
Source e lo proponiamo come standard di
fatto.

9. Il Protocollo
Open SourceXMPP
estentionsXML
Il Mac Address degli oggetti. L’html dell’Internet delle Cose.
E’ un modo per integrare facilmente l’hardware al web 2,
amplificandone gli aspetti sociali (social hardware) e di
contenuto.

10. Internet of THINGS
di che si tratta?

11. Internet of Things
A world of over 25 billion connected objects is coming
the X Internet or “The Internet of Things”

12. Evoluzione del Web
Scivolamento
• Internet
(Connette i dati; i dati sono altrove)
• Web 2.0 (Connette le persone; le applicazioni sono
altrove)
• Internet of Things
(le componenti hw del sistema sono distribuite)

15. Alimentare Miliardi di Sensori
Sensors powered by trees
Posted by David Pescovitz, October 7, 2008 10:02 AM
MIT researchers are developing a novel power scavenging systes for
small wireless sensors that monitor for forest fires. The sensors are
powered by the trees themselves. Each sensor's battery is trickle
charged with the electricity generated by the imbalance in pH between
the tree and the soil.
From the MIT News Office:
The system produces enough electricity to allow the temperature and
humidity sensors to wirelessly transmit signals four times a day, or
immediately if there's a fire. Each signal hops from one sensor to
another, until it reaches an existing weather station that beams the data
by satellite to a forestry command center in Boise, Idaho.
Shuguang Zhang, one of the researchers on the project and the associate
director of MIT's Center for Biomedical Engineering (CBE).

16. A cosa serve la Internet
of THINGS?

17. Ogni problema necessità (anche)
di tecnologie adeguate

18. • Monitorare il Clima
• Ottimizzare produzione
e consumi energetici
• Garantire la sicurezza
• Controllare la presenza
di inquinanti
• Seguire le Specie in via di
estinzione

19. La Internet of Things
serve alle persone?
Dipende! Se la IoT è aperta, SI.

20. OPEN Internet of THINGS

21. Global Warming
• 99% of the scientific studies on Climate Crisis
advise to reduce C02 emissions
• Imagine giving to every person the power to
measure the C02 levels in every moment of his
life: walking on the streets, picking up kids at
school, watching tv at home, etc.
• Imagine everyone being able to share the
collected data automatically, creating a
worldwide picture of global pollution measured
directly by the people.
• People would be part of the planet’s breath, by
being directly involved into saving this planet.
• This could give an emotional answer to
everyone concerns, while providing a means to
be actively part of a solution.
