Study Notes

Web of Things (WoT) vs Internet of Things (IoT)

WoT is a subset of IoT and uses REST, HTTP, and URIs for device interaction
IoT is a network of physical devices embedded with sensors, software and other technologies to connect and exchange data over the internet
IoT focuses on connectivity and data exchange between devices, emphasizing communication between devices
WoT emphasizes interoperability, usability, and integration of devices with the web
WoT uses web technologies like HTTP, REST, and JSON to allow for easier integration with existing web applications
WoT defines a "Thing Description" (TD) to describe the capabilities and interactions of devices

Two Pillars of the Web

Architecture Standardization for WoT - Platform Middleware for WoT - Unified Multitier WoT architecture
Standardized ways for IoT devices to communicate effectively and understand each other's data formats and protocols
Thing Description (TD) describes a device's capabilities, properties, actions, and events
Utilizes JSON-LD (Linked Data) for semantic understanding
Employing common web protocols (HTTP, WebSocket, MQTT) for easy access and control from standard web interfaces
RESTful APIs for straightforward interactions with devices

Programming Paradigms

Imperative Programming: State change via a sequence of instructions using variables, loops, conditionals, and function calls. (e.g., C, Java, Python)
Declarative Programming: Focuses on what to achieve, not how, using expressions and declarations, rather than control flow. (e.g., SQL, HTML)
Object-Oriented Programming (OOP): Organizes code around objects that encapsulate data and behavior. (e.g., Java, C++, Python)
Functional Programming: Treats computation as function evaluations, avoids mutable data, and emphasizes immutability, first-class functions, and higher-order functions. (e.g., Haskell, Lisp, Scala)
Logic Programming: Uses facts and rules to derive conclusions in formal logic. (e.g., Prolog)

IoT Applications in Smart Homes

Smart Lighting: Automated control, energy efficiency
Smart Thermostats: Climate control, remote monitoring
Home Security Systems: Surveillance cameras, smart locks
Smart Appliances: Connected kitchen appliances, washer/dryer monitoring
Energy Management: Smart plugs, outlets, home energy monitors

IoT in Healthcare

Remote Patient Monitoring: Wearable devices for vital sign tracking
Telehealth Solutions: Remote patient monitoring, reducing hospital visits
Smart Medical Devices: Connected inhalers, smart pill bottles
Telemedicine: Video consultations, improving access to care.

IoT in Agriculture

Precision Farming: Soil monitoring, variable rate technology
Crop Monitoring: Remote sensing, satellite imaging
Livestock Monitoring: Wearable sensors, automated feeding systems

IoT in Military Applications

Surveillance and Reconnaissance: Drones, sensors for real-time intelligence
Asset Tracking: IoT devices for tracking equipment
Smart Wearables: Enhanced situational awareness for personnel
Automated Logistics: Streamlines supply chain operations

IoT in Politics

Smart Cities: Monitoring urban infrastructure, enhancing public services
Citizen Engagement: Platforms for better communication between governments and citizens

IoT in Construction

Smart Equipment: Monitoring machinery performance
Site Monitoring: Sensors for worker safety and equipment status
Project Management: Real-time data for scheduling and resource allocation

IoT in Self-Driving Cars, Fitness Trackers, Factories, and Hospitality

IoT Smart Self-Driving Cars: Sensors, cameras, vehicle-to-everything communication, real-time data processing, for enhanced safety and efficiency
IoT Fitness Trackers: Monitor activity, track metrics, personalized plans for health awareness and goal tracking
IoT in Connected Factories: Smart sensors, predictive maintenance, automation, enhances productivity, efficiency, quality control
IoT in Hospitality: Smart room technology, personalized experiences, data collection for service improvement
