What is Internet of Things?
Internet of Things (IoT) is a concept and a
paradigm that considers pervasive presence in
the environment of a variety of things/objects
that through wireless and wired connections and
unique addressing schemes are able to interact
with each other and cooperate with other things/
objects to create new applications/ services and
reach common goals

The Goal of Internet of Things
The goal of the Internet of Things is to enable
things to be connected anytime, anyplace, with
anything and anyone ideally using any
path/network and any service

Machine Learning

Smart Systems and the Internet
of Things are driven by a
combination of:
1. Sensors & Actuators
2. Connectivity
3. People & Processes

SENSORS & Actuators
We are giving our world a
digital nervous system.
Location data using GPS
sensors. Eyes and ears using
cameras and microphones,
along with sensory organs that
can measure everything from
temperature to pressure
changes

Connectivity
These inputs are digitized
and placed onto networks

People & Processes
These networked inputs
can then be combined into bi-
directional systems that
integrate data, people,
processes and systems for
better decision making
