Introduction
Unlike other technologies, IoT is far more complex encompassing almost every branch of core Engineering-Mechanical, Electronics, Firmware, Middleware, Cloud, Analytics and Mobile. For each of its engineering layers, there are aspects of economics, standards, regulations and evolving state of the art. This is for the firs time, a modest course is offered to cover all of these critical aspects of IoT Engineering.
For Faculty members, it is of paramount interest that they should have an overall background of evolving IoT standards. To apply for grants in IoT areas, faculties must be exposed to new research directions where they can fit their existing skills. They also need to be aware of overall idea of funding areas in IoT. This course will address those evolving areas where they can attract more research and industrial grants in IoT.
Summary
- An advanced training program covering the current state of the art in Internet of Things
- Cuts across multiple technology domains to develop awareness of an IoT system and its components and how it can help faculties to write more project proposals in IoT domain
- Live demo of model IoT applications to showcase practical IoT deployments across different industry domains, such as Industrial IoT, Smart Cities, Retail, Travel & Transportation and use cases around connected devices & things
- Introduction to latest areas of IoT which needs more research both from structural and engineering point of view
Overview
Estimates for Internet of Things or IoT market value are massive, since by definition the IoT is an integrated and diffused layer of devices, sensors, and computing power that overlays entire consumer, business-to-business, and government industries. The IoT will account for an increasingly huge number of connections: 12 B by 2019 and 100B+ by 2025.
In the consumer space, many products and services have already crossed over into the IoT, including kitchen and home appliances, parking, RFID, lighting and heating products, and a number of applications in Industrial Internet.
However the underlying technologies of IoT are nothing new as M2M communication existed since the birth of Internet. However what changed in last couple of years is the emergence of number of inexpensive wireless technologies added by overwhelming adaptation of smart phones and Tablet in every home. Explosive growth of mobile devices led to present demand of IoT.
Over the last three years, engineering in IoT has seen massive changes primarily driven by Microsoft, Google and Amazon. These large behemoths have invested billions of dollars to develop IoT platforms that are more easy to manage and secure. Also IoT edge has gained a lot of momentum in both research and deployment as only means for practical IoT implementation. 5G is also promising to transform the business of IoT. This has led to an unprecedented large swath of new areas of research funding in IoT.
Course Objective
Main objective of this course is to introduce emerging technological options, platforms and case studies of IoT implementation in emerging verticals ( smart cities, smart manufacturing, agriculture, public safety etc) and horizontals ( edge computing, PaaS platforms, 5G-IoT etc.) for the University researchers.
- Basic introduction of all the elements of IoT-Mechanical, Electronics/sensor platform, Wireless and wireline protocols, Mobile to Electronics integration, Mobile to enterprise integration, Data-analytics and Total control plane
- M2M Wireless protocols for IoT- WiFi, Zigbee/Zwave, Bluetooth, ANT+ : When and where to use which one?
- Edge Platforms for IoT
- Known PaaS clouds for IoT- Azure, Google and AWS
- Security issues and security solutions for IoT
- Open source /commercial enterprise cloud platform for AWS-IoT apps, Azure -IOT, Watson-IOT cloud in addition to other minor IoT clouds
- Emerging research areas in IoT edge computation, 5G-IoT and many other horizontals.
