Introductions and Motivation

1.1 Introduction

This book will provide the reader with a quick overview of the Internet of Things (IoT) as the next technical revolution of the Internet and address its impact on digital life and business process empowered by emerging Cloud Services. The IOE – Internet of Everything is a DOT (Disruption of Things) and agent of change transforming from Internet of People to Internet of M2M (machine-to-machine) to IoT and IoE. Key benefits include improved business process efficiency, productivity, and quality of digital life. The market demand is moving from reactive on-demand remote monitoring and control (pull model) to more proactive services where the services will identify who you are and deliver what you want and when you want. Services will take on a new form empowered by insights driven from data collected in a given target applications.

  • Virtual. Software Defined anything (SDx), network functions virtualization (NFV), IPv4/IPv6, geographic information system (GIS), and body area network (BAN)/local area network (LAN)/wide area network (WAN) (body area network/local area network/wide area network)
  • Cloud. Big Data/Analytics.
• Acquire deeper the understanding with series of requirements of key applications and how they are implemented.
• Leverage a smart IoT platform approach to facilitate the development of applications and enable communications among systems and solutions in a collaborative manner (C-IoT). Smart IoT as characterized by the 8A’s stand for Automated Remote Provisioning and Management, Augmented Reality, Awareness of Context and Location, Analyze, Take Action, Automate, Anticipate, Predict, Autonomous, and Attractive. The 7S’s stand for Simplicity, Security, Safety, Smart, Scalable, Sustainable, and Sleek Appeal.
• Acquire deeper understanding of Secured IoT products and systems. Provide examples and tips for do-it-yourself (DIY) IoT solution.
• Make the reader aware of future challenges facing IoT.
• Inspire the reader to think and innovate on unlimited IoT opportunities by sharing examples of future trends.

1.2.3 Organization

This chapter introduces a simple innovative model for Collaborative Internet of Things (C-IoT) and a new way of looking at the market via domains and applications. The book introduces simplified segmentation for C-IoT consisting of three domains: Individual, Industrial, and Infrastructure. Applications/Solutions/Systems can impact Individual, Industry, or Infrastructure or all. The C-IoT model in its simplest form consists of sensing, gateway, and services. Gaining insights from application/solution/system will result in driving better results in each domain. Spanning applications/solutions/systems to more than one domain create a higher value for a better strategic decision.

The core of this book will highlight a series of cases spanning from the requirements to the solution for present market and business opportunities and exploring future opportunities.

Chapter 2 describes the landscape of C-IoT and highlights relevant technologies and standards of the C-IoT model. In addition, it illustrates the application requirements by selecting some of the C-IoT applications spanning one or more of the three domains: Individual, Industry, and Infrastructure.

Chapter 3 describes the implementation of some C-IoT applications progressively from personal consumer to home to industrial (business) and smart city (infrastructure and communities) levels to deliver sustainable smart living and smart environment that help optimize business process efficiency and improve quality of life.

Chapter 4 describes the need for a unified smart C-IoT software platform that enables one to build and deploy smart C-IoT product, systems solutions, and services for different vertical markets in a quick time-to-market fashion. This will be described including the 4A’s and 4S’s that characterize smart C-IoT products. The 4A’s stand for Awareness of Context and Location, Analyze, and Take Action, Automate and Autonomous, and Anticipate. The 4S’s stand for Simplicity, Security, Smart, and Scalable. The chapter ends with covering the Secured IoT.

Chapter 5 provides examples of do it yourself (DIY) kits aimed on bringing the concept, approach to hands-on experience that will inspire innovative thinking in exploring untapped opportunities that will improve the quality of humanity, and business efficiency in general.

Chapter 6 addresses the emerging new wave of new devices and technologies such as wearable/mobile and cloud technology (local, public, and inter-cloud), analytics, and social media as key building blocks of C-IoT distributed intelligence. In addition, the chapter examines the C-IoT impact on our digital lives and businesses and some of the future challenges such as privacy and security.

Chapter 7 presents the readers with final remarks and tips to inspire them to innovate and deliver differentiated solution that contributes toward improving quality of lives and improves business processes.

1.2.4 Book Cover

1.2.4.1 Title of the Book

The title is carefully constructed that is depicted by the image on the front cover of this book as well as the brief text in the back cover.

The title reflects the direction of the book focusing on the Future and addressing the need for a C-IoT that represents intelligently interacting and collaborating with current IoT solutions and systems to gain improvement and greater benefits that will have a positive impact on the quality of our lives and our business in terms of process efficiency.

The title can be depicted by two diagrams, which consists of:

• C-IoT domains and applications represented by the three circles (Individual, Industry, and Infrastructure) and examples of apps represented by triangles that cross the circles (examples of apps: Health & Fitness, Video Surveillance, Track & Monitor, and Smart Energy).
• IoT Model represented by the triangle with three functions (Sensing, Gateway, and Services).

The C-IoT in the title reflects the impact C-IoT has in breaking silos exist today in vertical markets by enabling communications and collaborations of solutions and systems within each market and across IoT domains: Individual (Human), Industry (Business), and Infrastructure (Government/smart city).

C-IoT impacts Individual, Industry, and Infrastructure and contributes in improving quality of life and/or improves business operational efficiencies.

• On the Individual C-IoT, a consumer is interested in buying a Nest thermostat because it saves energy without the hassle of constantly tweaking the thermostat by hand. A consumer is interested in fitness trackers such as Fitbit or Jawbone UP because...
