But…Why IA?

Defining M2M or “Internet of Things”

M2M connects people, devices, & systems and turns machine

data into actionable information for smart services.

~Connected World

A specific CAPABILITY that enables “machines” to connect &

intelligently interact over a network

~Intel Corporation

Smart devices and infrastructure autonomously collaborating to derive

knowledge and act wisely to enhance and enrich human experience.

Summary

Huge opportunity for enriching human experience with connected things

Significant challenges remain: scalability, security, manageability, energy efficiency, …

IA can provide a scalable, open architecture across end points and infrastructure for IOT

Industry, Academia, and Governments need to work together to educate and nurture the young minds who will realize the potential of IOT and bring about a brighter future!

Together…we can harness the

knowledge of the world into Wisdom!
