Study Notes

Internet of Things (IoT) Overview

IoT is a paradigm where numerous objects are interconnected, allowing interaction and creation of new applications/services.
Aims for ubiquitous connectivity, enabling real-time interaction between objects and users, using any network or service.
Objects become self-aware, gain intelligence through context-based decisions.
This advancement relies on cloud computing and IPv6's expanded addressing capacity, forming a global network capable of enabling new businesses, and services.
Success of IoT platforms depends on connectivity, attractiveness, and data flow.

Enabling Technologies for IoT

Technologies enabling context acquisition, processing, and security/privacy are categorized into three types:
- Context acquisition technologies
- Context processing technologies
- Security/privacy technologies
The first two are functional building blocks creating intelligent objects; the third is a critical requirement for wider acceptance.

IoT Applications Across Industries

Logistics: Tracking shipments, monitoring conditions, item location.
Industrial Control: Machine diagnostics, indoor air quality monitoring, temperature control.
Agriculture: Monitoring soil moisture, optimizing greenhouse conditions, studying weather patterns.
Animal Farming: Monitoring animal health, tracking locations.
Domotics/Home Automation: Energy and water monitoring, optimized resource use.

IoT Research Challenges

Secure Communication: Establishing secure communications with edge elements is crucial.
Scalability and Standards: Addressing scalability and ensuring interoperability of different standards.
Energy Efficiency: Designing energy-efficient sensors and actuators.
Data Privacy: Developing technologies for anonymizing data to meet privacy concerns.
Real-Time Operations: Handling and addressing critical latencies (especially in control loops).
Data Handling: Handling massive data processing, filtering, data mining, and preventing network flooding.
System Design: Flexible system design to ensure reliable and secure real-time operation of heterogeneous systems.
Modeling and Monitoring: Using system models and monitoring methods to identify and track critical system components.
