About the Book:
The book aims to provide a broad overview of
various topics of Internet of Things from the research, innovation and
development priorities to enabling technologies, nanoelectronics, cyber
physical systems, architecture, interoperability and industrial applications.
It is intended to be a standalone book in a
series that covers the Internet of Things activities of the IERC – Internet of
Things European Research Cluster from technology to international cooperation
and the global "state of play".
The book builds on the ideas put forward by the
European research Cluster on the Internet of Things Strategic Research Agenda
and presents global views and state of the art results on the challenges facing
the research, development and deployment of IoT at the global level.
Internet of Things is creating a revolutionary
new paradigm, with opportunities in every industry from Health Care,
Pharmaceuticals, Food and Beverage, Agriculture, Computer, Electronics
Telecommunications, Automotive, Aeronautics, Transportation Energy and Retail
to apply the massive potential of the IoT to achieving real-world solutions.
The beneficiaries will include as well semiconductor companies, device and
product companies, infrastructure software companies, application software
companies, consulting companies, telecommunication and cloud service providers.
IoT will create new revenues annually for these stakeholders, and potentially
create substantial market share shakeups due to increased technology
competition.
The IoT will fuel technology innovation by
creating the means for machines to communicate many different types of
information with one another while contributing in the increased value of
information created by the number of interconnections among things and the
transformation of the processed information into knowledge shared into the
Internet of Everything. The success of IoT depends strongly on enabling
technology development, market acceptance and standardization, which provides
interoperability, compatibility, reliability, and effective operations on a
global scale. The connected devices are part of ecosystems connecting people,
processes, data, and things which are communicating in the cloud using the
increased storage and computing power and pushing for standardization of
communication and metadata. In this context security, privacy, safety, trust
have to be address by the product manufacturers through the life cycle of their
products from design to the support processes.
The IoT developments address the whole IoT
spectrum - from devices at the edge to cloud and datacentres on the backend and
everything in between, through ecosystems are created by industry, research and
application stakeholders that enable real-world use cases to accelerate the
Internet of Things and establish open interoperability standards and common
architectures for IoT solutions.
Enabling technologies such as nanoelectronics,
sensors/actuators, cyber-physical systems, intelligent device management, smart
gateways, telematics, smart network infrastructure, cloud computing and
software technologies will create new products, new services, new interfaces by
creating smart environments and smart spaces with applications ranging from
Smart Cities, smart transport, buildings, energy, grid, to smart health and
life. |

About the Authors:
Dr. Ovidiu Vermesan
holds a Ph. D. degree in microelectronics and a Master of International
Business (MIB) degree. He is chef scientist at SINTEF Information and
Communication Technology, Oslo, Norway. His research interests are in the area
of microelectronics, analog and mixed-signal
ASIC Design (CMOS/BiCMOS/SOI) with applications in measurement,
instrumentation, high-temperature applications, medical electronics and
integrated sensors; low power/low voltage ASIC design; and computer-based
electronic analysis and simulation. Dr. Vermesan received SINTEFs 2003 award
for research excellence for his work on the implementation of a biometric
sensor system. He is currently working with projects addressing nanoelectronics
integrated systems, communication and embed-ded systems, integrated sensors,
wireless identifiable systems and RFID for future Internet of Things
architectures with applications in green automotive, internet of energy,
healthcare, oil and gas and energy efficiency in buildings. He has authored or
co-authored over 75 technical articles and conference papers. He is actively
involved in the activities of the new Electronic Components and Systems for
European Leadership (ECSEL) Join Technology Initiative (JTI). He coordinate and
managed various national and international/EU projects related to integrated
electronics. Dr. Vermesan is the coordinator of the IoT participated in
projects related to Internet of Things.
Dr.
Peter Friess is
a senior official of DG CONNECT of the European commission, taking care for
more than six years of the research and innovation policy for the Internet of
Things. In his function he has shaped the on-going European research and
innovation program on the Internet of Things and accompanied the European
Commission’s direct investment of 70 Mill. Euro in the field. He also oversees
the international cooperation on the Internet of Things, in particular with
Asian countries. In previous engagements he was working as senior consultant
for IBM, dealing with major automotive and utility companies in Germany and
Europe. Prior to this engagement he worked as IT manager at Philips
Semiconductors on with business process optimisation in complex manufacturing.
Before this period he was active as researcher in European and national
research projects on advanced telecommunications and business process
reorganization. He is a graduated engineer in Aeronautics and space technology
from the University of Munich and holds a Ph.D. in Systems Engineering
including self-organising system from the University of Bremen. He also
published a number of articles and co-edits a yearly book of the European
Internet of Things Research Cluster. |
