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.
This book is targeted to:
Decision Makers, CEOs, CIOs, CTOs, and Senior Executives
Communications and Networking System Architects
Product and Marketing Managers
Software and Hardware Engineers
Consultants, Entrepreneurs, and Startups
Service Providers of content, utility, security, entertainment, and other services
Professors and Students
Hobbyists.
1.2 The Book
, 1.2.1 Objectives
The objective of this book is to provide a simplified approach to comprehend the IoT innovative
business model, value, and the impact it will have over our lives and businesses.
Hence, the objective will be analyzed from two aspects:
1. Improving quality of our lives
2. Improving business efficiencies.
Both (1) and (2) will contribute to having better insights that will lead to living in a smart
environment and being part of a smart community/smart city.
This book will provide both a simplified and innovative business model for IoT and IoT domains
and key applications. In addition, window of opportunities for IoT applications is rapidly growing
and this book will address the need for a platform where diverse applications and solution can be
developed. Finally, there is a need for system solution to collaborate for better insights and
decision-making.
1.2.2 Benefits
It is the hope that this book will be a great reference and a tool for the reader and provide tangible
benefits that include:
Prepare the readers to embrace the revolution of Internet Technology with IOT that impact our
lives, our business, and the environment we live in.
Understand the evolution of IoT opportunities in terms of key applications that impact our lives,
business, or the environment. Examples include Health & Fitness, Smart Building & Home, Video
Surveillance, Track & Monitor, Smart Factor/Manufacturing, Smart Energy, and others.
Comprehend the simplified approach to IoT Business Model consisted of Sensing, Gateway, and
Services. Understand landscape of technologies and standards that enable creation of innovative
time-to-market solutions and systems.
Describe technologies and protocols that directly relate to IoT for IoT Architecture model
(Physical, Virtual, and Cloud). Examples:
Physical. Sensors, radio frequency identification (RFID), micro-electromechanical
systems (MEMS), wireless sensor networks (WSN), global positioning system (GPS),
ZigBee, near field communication (NFC), Wi-Fi, and 3G/4G
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,
