In this presentation, Yashwanth introduces the concept of Internet of Things and the associated trends. His interest area is to build a unified architecture so that the IoT devices manufactured by different firms can talk to each other.

2. What is it?
 ‘Internet of things’ refers to collection of physical objects (electronics)
connected to the Internet.
 These objects should be ‘Internet smart’ which means that they should have
the capability to communicate with their peers on the network and work
collectively.
 Essentially, these electronics connected through a network can be used to
collect, analyze and understand data about consumer behavior which can
help in providing better services in the future.
 Each device should be uniquely identifiable in the network and also should be
able to work independent of the network.
 Devices part of IoT can range from tsunami buoys in a large ocean for
monitoring tides to small biochips to monitor health of animals.

3. Why do we need IoT?
 IoT when implemented to its complete extent has a great potential to change
how we use electronics entirely by acting as a personal assistant in our day-
to-day lives.
 It can know a user’s personal preferences over a period of time and provide
services predicting his needs.
 This predictions have a good chance of becoming accurate day by day.
 The result is a personalized experience in our daily tasks.
 Everything would be in one place in terms of control.
 You can control when the sprinkler in your lawn goes off because it’s all
connected.
 Your thermostat knows what temperature you like at a particular time of day.
 With great power comes great responsibility. With huge data comes the need
for advanced technologies to handle it properly.
 IoT will require great advancements in today’s data handling technologies to
handle its continuously generating data efficiently.

4. Trends
 NEST is a smart thermostat that understands you’re needs by monitoring your
activities and automatically adjusting temperatures with time. It can be
controlled over the internet.
 Google bought it. For $3.2 billion. This proves that there’s market for smart
technology like this out there.
 Many surveys put the amount of devices in the IoT anywhere between 25 to 30
billion in the coming 5 years.
 Companies like Samsung, BMW are introducing products that are much more
interconnected in terms of their services to be more customizable and to
provide a unified experience.
 These technologies are not yet compatible with each other as each
company is working on its own but they eventually will be.

5. My interests in IoT
 I find the lack of a unified architecture is what’s delaying this technology
from taking over consumer technology market.
 Because of this, IoT is not able to work at its full potential as one device
doesn’t know the other device’s language
 I would like to work on a unified architecture that various enterprises can use
to make their products truly talk to each other.
 That way IoT will be manufacturer independent and consumer centric.
 It also makes the market more competitive and fair.
 I also want to work in making devices much more human friendly. Hence
would like to work on algorithms that are much more accurate in
understanding human behavior.
