The Internet of Things (IoT) is becoming important in many areas that include health, entertainment, manufacturing, automotive, home and building automation, industrial, etc. Will it be important for education and more specifically for teaching and learning? If so, what engineering subjects would benefit the most and how effective could the IoT be for teaching and learning? Can IoT technologies and...
Internet of Things (IoT) has revolutionized the traditional Internet where only human-centric services were offered. It has enabled objects to have the ability to connect and communicate through the Internet. IoT has several applications such as smart water management systems. However, they require high energy-efficient sensor nodes that are able to communicate across long distance. This motivates...
Digital Business or D-Business is an environment where nearly all physical and virtual assets in the value chain are digital. Intelligent objects, are a part of end-to-end processes. Business is conducted by intelligent agents making decisions based on context provided by the IoT — Internet of Things. In order to improve productivity in the value chain, a Steel Mill decided to automate one of its...
Nowadays, the Internet of Things (IoT) is receiving more attention in commercial and academic research, especially about its security property. However, current protocols cannot satisfy the requirement of various IoT applications and introduce some problems. There are three typical problems: traditional public key infrastructure (PKI) apply in IoT will incur great overhead, wireless sensor network...
Representational State Transfer (REST) is a web architecture that take the advantage of Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) to invoke a certain code in the server to do action, either to store, update, delete, or query a value in the server. This kind of implementation are the basis of all Application Program Interface (API) system used by the web application. API provide a tools for creating a software...
Advances in wireless communication devices and systems have a significant impact on various fields like agriculture, healthcare, smart homes etc. One of its important applications is the development of monitoring system for various purposes. Automated water usage monitoring system proposes an effective way of controlling the wastage of water at home/Industries by means of Wireless sensor nodes and...
Internet of Things (IoT) is the technique to connect each and everything to Internet, and it provides anything at anytime regardless of where the thing is located. If we connect devices in this way, by 2020, billions of devices will get connected to the Internet. The current trends shows that the deployment of sensors and IoT paradigm growing in a rapid pace. This shows that the next information revolution...
The recent advancements in technology and the availability of the Internet make it possible to connect various devices that can communicate with each other and share data. The Internet of Things (IoT) is a new concept that allows users to connect various sensors and smart devices to collect real-time data from the environment. However, it has been observed that a comprehensive platform is still missing...
In the last couple of years Software Defined Network (SDN) have come into existence which empowers network operators with more flexibility to manage and program their network. This type of network solves the limitation of legacy networks. Data plane and control planes are separated from each other as a result data plane devices simple act as a packet forwarding device and leaving the decision making...
The paper presents a survey and analysis on the current status and concerns of Internet of things (IoT) security. The IoT framework aspires to connect anyone with anything at anywhere. IoT typically has a three layers architecture consisting of Perception, Network, and Application layers. A number of security principles should be enforced at each layer to achieve a secure IoT realization. The future...
The Deterministic Networking paradigm, which is prevalent in Operational Technology (OT), is now getting traction at the IETF and the IEEE, to enable the convergence of OT with Information Technology (IT), and the Industrial Internet vision, whereby the automation world can leverage IT technology to optimize OT processes. New Working Groups (WGs) are now emerging at the IETF to develop new routing...
Internet of Things (IoT) is becoming increasingly important for today's market and gained a lot of attentions both in academia and industry. IoT can be applied into wide range of application scenarios. In case of constrained environment, for communication, resource-constrained devices are expected to employ the lightweight mechanisms. In order to provide intelligent facilities for constrained IoT...
Fire warning system plays an important role on the cotton warehousing safety work. Basing on analyzing the existing problems of traditional wired fire warning system and combining the technical characteristics and superiority of IoT, this paper proposed a IoT architecture-based application scheme of cotton warehouse fire warning system. Then done a data acquisition and transmission by the way of ZigBee...
Wireless standardization activities such as the Bluetooth V4.x (Bluetooth smart) have led to an explosive growth in innovative short-range wireless devices capable of providing various services to assist everyday life. Allowing Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communication between these M2M devices also enable new commercial service opportunities. The M2M service providers including telecom carriers may...
To secure the Internet of Things (IoT) running on IPv6 over Low-Powered Wireless Personal Area Networks (6LoWPAN) by implementing a Moving Target IPv6 Defense (MT6D), there must first be a method developed to dynamically change IPv6 addresses over this resource constrained wireless network. We will discuss how we implemented this dynamic address change and how in doing so, we also had to change the...
Internet of Things (IoT) is an enhanced technology to extend the functionality of current WSNs from local to remote and from a small or large scale to a global scale. There are three solutions of integrating WSNs with the Internet including Front-End Proxy solution, Gateway solution and the TCP/IP Overlay solution. Every single solution has its own features and successful applications. In this paper,...
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs), as a key part of the Internet of Things (IoT), allow the representation of the dynamic characteristics of the physical world in the Internet's virtual world. Thus, sensor nodes are henceforth considered as Internet hosts and may act freely as web clients or servers. Undoubtedly, security and end-users privacy issues rise and become more severe in the IoT, due to the...
With Internet of Things (IoT) vision, computing systems get the ubiquity of real world. Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) technology plays a critical role for the construction of this paradigm. Reliable communication between WSN nodes and outside Internet entities will be needed for remote management of Internet Objects. On the other hand, low bandwith, high delay and packet error rates of the underlying...
Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are considered one of the main building blocks of the Internet of Things (IoT). Therefore, connecting these networks to data recipients globally becomes a basic ingredient for the success of the entire IoT paradigm. We introduce a practical solution for connecting these networks to global data consumers via the existing Internet infrastructure. Our proposed solution...
The Internet is smoothly migrating from an Internet of people towards an Internet of Things (IoT). By 2020, it is expected to have 50 billion things connected to the Internet. However, such a migration induces a strong level of complexity when handling interoperability between the heterogeneous Internet things, e.g., RFIDs (Radio Frequency Identification), mobile handheld devices, and wireless sensors...
