MoU’s 2026 

Student and Faculty Journal publication

Internet of Things (IoT) as defined by the ICT (Information and Communication Technology) as a dynamic global network infrastructure with self configuring capabilities based on standard and inter operable communication protocols where physical and virtual things have identities, physical attributes and virtual personalities use intelligent interface and seamlessly integrated into the information network. IoT is the inter networking of physical devices, vehicles, buildings and other items embedded with electronics, software, sensors, actuators, and network connectivity that enable these objects to collect and exchange data .

In 2013 the Global Standards Initiative on Internet of Things (IoTGSI) defined the IoT as the infrastructure of the information society . The traditional fields of embedded system, wireless sensor networks, control system, automation systems are together interconnected to form the IoT. That means the internet of things builds over the revolutionary success of mobile and internet network. Even a few decades back, nobody could have imagined having a video chat with their families. Nowadays, it is merely a child’s play. All of this is due to the wide availability of internet and creation of devices with Wi-Fi abilities. Technology costs are going down, and smart-phones are capable of doing almost anything with their inbuilt features and apps. What we have till now is “Internet of Computers (IoC)” and it is gradually growing in size. According to Gartner’s study, “the world will be a more deeply and intimately connected place, with an estimated 7.3 billion tablets, PCs and Smartphone’s, by the end of this decade.

Basically, this is the idea of fundamentally interfacing any gadget to the Internet (and/or to each other). This incorporates everything from cell phones, coffee machines, dish-washers, earphones, lights, wearable gadgets and just about whatever else anybody can consider. This likewise applies to parts of machines, for instance an engine of a plane or the drill of an oil rig. One of the biggest paradigms behind this trend is the Internet of Things (IoT) which foresees a world permeated with embedded smart devices, often called “smart objects”, inter-connected through the Internet. The IoT will turn into a mammoth system of associated “things” (which additionally incorporates individuals). Communication will be between human-human, human-things, and things-things. Today this has given a vision of bigger things like IoT enabled interconnected Cyber Physical Systems (CPS).

While sounding laughable at first, the ‘internet of cows’ is a great example of a useful IoT application. Working with the National Trust, British Telecommunications (BT) monitored the cows’ location in order to prevent theft. Currently, various companies are also keen to use IoT protocols in the development process of cyber physical manufacturing systems. A recent study published by the World Bank estimates that over the next 10 years there will be two million unfilled Information and Communication Technology-related jobs globally. In addition, over 95% of companies say they will be using the IoT in some form within the next three years. This requires educational institutions to better prepare students for employment by these companies.

The Secure Internet of Things Project is a cross-disciplinary research effort between computer science and electrical engineering faculty at Stanford University, University of California – Berkeley, and the University of Michigan. The research effort focuses on three key domains:

•  Hardware and software systems: Construction of hardware and software systems that will make the IoT enabled systems intelligent and secure.
  •    Analytics: Integration and analysis of the enormous streams of physical world instrumentation with all of the existing data.
  •    Security: Developing pervasive sensing and analytic systems to preserve and protect user security.

 Characteristics

Some of the characteristics of IoT are Inter connectivity; Things related Services, Heterogeneity, Dynamic Changes, Enormous Scale etc. Today rapidly development of electronic gadgets with computing capabilities, storage along with embedding short range transceivers enabling new form of communications between people and things and things themselves. This new phenomena has added a new dimension to the world of information and communication technologies (ICTs). That is why IoT makes it possible from anytime, anyplace connectivity for anyone; we will now have connectivity for anything.

So Internet of Things is a technological revolution which is totally a dynamic in nature. It has been converging multiple technologies creating new dimension of services that improves the quality of life of consumers and productivity of enterprises. From the consumer point of view, the IoT has the potential applications such as deliver solutions that dramatically improve energy efficiency, security, health, education, connected cars, smart homes, smart retails and many other aspects of daily life. For enterprises, IoT can underpin solutions that improve decision-making and productivity in manufacturing, retail, agriculture and other sectors.

Technologies to support IoT

Some of the technologies converging to support and enable IoT applications are  architecture, Identification, Communications, Network Technology, Network Discovery, Software and algorithm, Hardware Technology, Data and signal processing, Discovery and Search Engine, Net-work Management, Power and Energy Storage, Cyber Security, Information security etc. Challenges and research areas of IoT

IoT represents a vision in which the Internet extends into the real world embracing everyday objects. Physical items are no longer disconnected from the virtual world, but can be controlled remotely and can act as physical access points to Internet services. The IoT vision is grounded in the belief that the steady advances in microelectronics, communications and information technology witnessed in recent years will continue into the foreseeable future. “Smart” objects play a key role in the IoT vision, since embedded communication and information technology have the potential to revolutionize the utility of these objects. Using sensors, they are able to perceive their context and via built-in networking capabilities they would be able to communicate with each other, access Internet services and interact with people. . The research in this emerging area is one of the main thrust areas under CPS
