The Internet of Things

Fall 2014

Revolution in technology

Important developments

• Extreme miniaturization and commoditization of electronics

• Global telecommunications infrastructure

• Massive acceptance of technology

Impact Completely new classes of products and ways we work, play, communicate,

think. Technology is a commodity, cheap and ubiquitous.

This is an historic situation.

“Moore’s Law”

The number of transistors per

square inch on integrated

circuits grows at an exponential

rate.

Internet usage continues to rise at an exponential rate.

Technology is Everywhere, used by Everyone

The “Internet of Things”

What happens when everything is smart and connected?

• By 2020, the Internet of Everything expected to connect 50B.

• Triple digit growth: Energy, Transportation, Digital Cities,

Healthcare, Financial Services, Retail (Verizon)

• “…a $19 trillion opportunity” (John Chambers, Cisco CEO)

• Big winners: semiconductor, network, remote sensor and big data

The future's in the air; I can feel it everywhere; Blowing with the wind of change.

7-17 TRILLION DOLLAR market by 2020

Very expensive to maintain traditional shopping outlets Example: Brick and mortar retail in crisis

2013 holidays, retail outlets experiences half the foot traffic from 3 years earlier

Leveraging what online cannot provide

Brick and mortar can offer shopping experiences

The “trickle up” effect

Example technology timeline for IoT (retail example)

1. Connected devices / physical computing Significant increase in volume and variety of data

2. Data store technology New data storage technologies to manage increase in data

3. Analytics Real-time and predictive analysis to understand information

4. Application Platforms New applications created to leverage IoT data on new app platforms

5. Integration with existing data Existing data architectures refreshed or modified to include new data

IoT technology at the front end produces changes all through the data pipeline.

Changes and implications

Technology is changing and connecting exponentially

• Rapid, unpredictable changes in markets, opportunities

• Global impact, rapidly changing competition

• Unintended consequences

Companies must be agile and adaptable in order to compete and survive.

Applications

(the value of IoT)

Applications

• Systems integration of all

technologies in IoT

• Requires breadth and depth,

strong team

• ROI can be high, with ongoing

revenue after initial work

• Dependence on ability to get

customers and solve their needs

Highest value—The “killer apps”

Full systems for end-to-end integration

IoT Example (health): Rehabilitation

IoT Example (home health systems): WENDI

WENDI makes all devices look like a web port HAPPI at it heart is a front end to WENDI (Web Enabled Device Interface). To the

developer, this means that data comes from hardware via a simple (and familiar) web

protocol. The hardware details are handled by the WENDI server.

Hardware connects to server by

various mechanisms. A simple

handshaking protocol is required.

Health applications communicate

with a web server. Developers do not

have to know hardware protocols.

WENDI puts hardware in the cloud

Web ports WENDI delivers hardware data to applications via “POST/GET” (for low speed data

streams), and Websockets (for full duplex, high speed data streams).

Our version of WENDI

runs on Linux using

Python-based Twisted

web server using the

Autobahn Websockets

package. Hardware-

specific code (e.g.,

serial port

communication) is

written in Python.

Wendi.js library

provided for WS

integration in client

HTML5 apps. Other

versions have been

built for Androind OS.

IoT apps are easy and fun to develop

With WENDI IoT Apps can be written by anyone* IoT applications are written in popular Web 2.+ languages such as HTML5 and Python,

allowing media rich applications, integration into other platforms, access to the cloud,

and full support from the internet community.
