System of Systems๏The real potential of the Internet of Things

Network Effect: The value of a network is proportional to the square of the number of users of the system (n²).

Vision and Trend #4

The true value of IoT depends on system of systems.

Vision and Trend #5

The IoT transforms Business Models.

MUST READ

(Porter, 2014)

Vision and Trend #6

The IoT is changing the nature of products (things) and disrupting value chains.

“77% of surveyed IoT experts claimed that Interoperability is the biggest challenge currently facing

the Internet of Things”

“

Which hardware will Google choose to intentionally brick next?“

“the guardian

What is IoT Interoperability?๏ (IEEE) Interoperability is the ability of two or more (IoT)

systems or components to exchange information and to use the information that has been exchanged.

๏ (Brodie, 1993) Two components X and Y can interoperate (are interoperable) if X can send requests R for services to Y, based on a mutual understanding of R by X and Y, and if Y can similarly return mutually understandable responses S to X.

Vision and Trend #5

Open standards and open source will play critical roles to build the IoT and smart cities.

๏And the frictions to interconnect different systems.

Vision and Trend #7

The smartest city in the world is the city with least friction for innovation.

Case Study #1• A pilot project funded by Department of Homeland Security and IJIS

Institute

• Problem:

• lacking a Common Operating Picture (COP) for various first responder groups and disaster managers

• Solution:

I was impressed with the ‘state of the practical’ where these various industry sensors can be integrated today using

open standards that remove the stovepipe limitations of one-off technologies.
