Study Notes
Introduction
- The augmented use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) plays a vital role in modern society.
- ICT is employed to develop innovative applications and services to improve quality of life.
- Modern societies are connecting more things together using network technologies to promote the Internet of Things (IoT).
Internet of Things (IoT)
- IoT is a network of uniquely identifiable connected things (e.g., devices, objects).
- These items offer intelligent computing services.
- Things in IoT are also known as Smart Things and increase efficiency in daily life operations.
- IoT also aids human communication.
Components of IoT
- IoT encompasses diverse technologies:
- Pervasive computing
- Sensor technology
- Embedded systems
- Communication technologies
- Sensor networking
- Internet protocols
- These technologies underpin modern society's economic growth.
- The core concept of IoT is ubiquitous connectivity between things and humans.
As and Cs in IoT
- The core idea of IoT is represented by various As and Cs:
- Any Device
- Any Time
- Any Thing
- Any Where
- Any Network
- Any Context
- Computing
- Collection
- Connectivity
- Convergence
- Internet of Things
- IoT is seen as an addition of a third dimension (Thing) to the existing ICT plane of dimensions (Place, Time).
IoT Vision
- The IoT vision is considered in terms of two perspectives:
- Things-centric viewpoint: related to the advancements in technologies that make devices smart.
- Internet-centric viewpoint: related to advancements in network technologies to connect and manage intelligent things.
- This multifaceted IoT vision requires developments in various fields like digital identification, technology, communication, networking technology, computing technology, and distribution system technology.
IoT Definition
- Defining IoT is challenging owing to similarities to other technologies and convergence of different visions.
- IoT can be considered a system where things are interconnected and can intelligently interact with each other and with humans.
- Various standard organizations have provided their own definitions of IoT.
- IEEE: IoT as a framework for things to be represented and present on the Internet.
- OASIS: the connection of the Internet with the physical world using ubiquitous sensors.
- NIST: connecting smart devices and systems in diverse areas to function innovatively.
- ISO: the infrastructure of interconnected objects, people, systems, information, and intelligent services.
- IETF: various things such as computers, sensors, people, actuators, refrigerators, TVs, vehicles, mobile phones, etc., grouped as people, machines, or information.
- ITU: IoT as a network accessible by anything and anyone, anywhere and anytime.
IoT Characteristics
- IoT characteristics include:
- Security: Implemented at both network and end-device levels to safeguard data.
- Scalability: Increasingly shifts human interactions to device interactions as a consequence of the plethora of IoT devices.
- Connectivity: Connects physical and virtual aspects using the Internet and global communication infrastructure.
- Device Heterogeneity: Encourages interoperability of devices regardless of different hardware and network platforms by enabling ambient intelligence at the hardware/software level.
- Sensor Data Collection, Storage, Filtering, and Analysis: IoT systems collect, store, and process sensor data to improve business workflows.
Advantages and Disadvantages of IoT
-
Advantages:
- Enhanced comfort and convenience
- Improved quality of life through ambient assisted living.
- Improved efficiency and time saving through inter-device interactions.
- Automatic daily activities and better quality of services
- Efficient utilization of resources and cost saving
-
Disadvantages:
- Interoperability issues and compatibility problems due to heterogeneous devices.
- Complex systems leading to failures
- Increased unemployment risk in societies due to adopting IoT
- Increased risks related to security and privacy due to systems'ubiquitous and pervasive nature.
