Session T2B: Tutorial: Internet of Things (IoT) - Opportunities for SoC designers

Internet of Things (IoT) is considered to be a technological trend that is likely to have a far reaching impact on every one´s lives in many distinct ways. IoTs changs the internet from internet for people to internet of things. Enabling of IoT is accomplished through efforts by hardware and network industry and the enormous amount of data generated through IoTs impacts Big Data and data mining fields. With its wide ranging applications in Healthcare, Home automation, Industrial Control and environmental and social domains, IoTs can have wide ranging expectations. Major roadblocks to the deployment and prevalent use of IoTs are power and privacy-security vulnerabilities. IoTs have conflicting requirements and choosing appropriate tradeoffs based on the situation will lead to its increased use. Though varying projections have large investment in IoTs, there is also increased skepticism due to privacy and security concerns. This tutorial will introduce IoTs, specifications, opportunities for SoC designers and their integration into diverse applications. Possible solutions will be discussed in dealing with power and security aspects as well.
