Research directions

The Internet (of information) expands to the real world: an Internet of Things emerges

Extending the current Internet and providing connection, communication, and inter-networking between devices and physical objects, or "Things," is a growing trend that is being referred to as the Internet of Things.

“The technologies and solutions that enable integration of real world data and services into the current information networking technologies are often described under the umbrella term of the Internet of Things (IoT)”
