Besides connecting billions of computers, mobile devices and people, it's now poised to connect various things such as cars, sensors, controllers, TVs, machinery, and electrical appliances, creating Internet of Things (IoT). IoT is the next big thing in IT; it's bound to reengineer and transform everything again -- including business, industry, healthcare, and personal and social life, as it facilitates deployment many new applications and services that were unimaginable till recently. Many tech giants, start-ups and professionals have begun to capitalize on IoT's promise with launch of new hardware, software and applications. The IoT market will grow enormously creating new business and job opportunities as businesses and consumers adopt IoT and other supportive technologies for various purposes. It's time to understand what IoT is and what are its potential, and look at how you can leverage and benefit from it. This professional development program (PDP) on a hot topic of interest and relevance will help you to get a holistic overview on IOT - concepts, technologies, applications, potential impact, and outlook. It'll also equip you for your journey into a new era where everything is connected and interact and collaborate with other things creating a smarter world. Program Outline § Introduction to IoT § Architecture of IoT § Supporting Technologies - Hardware, software, communications, standards § Applications in several important domains, and use cases § IoT, Cloud Computing, Big Data and Smart Systems - Internet-connected ecosystem, § Issues and concerns, and how they can be addressed - Security, privacy, dependability and more § Development and deployment considerations § Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) for IoT § Networking and Computing Challenges for IoT - Scalability, security, interoperability § IoT Applications and Deployment Scenarios with focus on mobile phone based sensing § Lightweight yet reliable and secure protocols for uploading mobile phone sensed data to cloud - Candidate Lightweight Protocols - CoAP and MQTT as compared to HTTP - Enhanced CoAP - Adding reliability and security to CoAP § Distributed Computing for mobile phone based sensing - Mobile Cloud Computing and Fog Computing - Framework for Distributed Execution - Workflow assignment between cloud and edge § Implications and opportunities - Monetizing the IoT § IoT Outlook Target Participants This program is developed and offered for the benefit of IT professionals, application developers, business managers and executives, academics, researchers and senior graduate students interested to learn about IoT, a hot topic of growing interest, and gain a holistic understanding its potentials.
