The Internet of Things

by Carlos Lemus

Not Just a Fancy Lightbulb

What is IOT?

Why IOT?

Research @ AU

How to Get Started

Four Key Ingredients

Perception Communication Analytics Application

PERCEPTION Sensors Cameras Traffic Data Apple Pay (NFC)

COMMUNICATION

Some Key Communication Protocols/Technologies

6LoWPAN

Low-powerMesh-network capableNo direct Internet connectivity

Similar to ZigBee, no meshVersion 4.2 allows IPv6Master-Slave Structure

Combined advantages of mesh networking and Internet connectivity.High power consumption.

Allows internet connectivity in resource-constrained devices through packet compression.

Improvement on current IPv4, allows for many more addresses.

IPv6

IPv6

• IPv4 is 32-bit billion addresses• IPv6 is 128-bit addresses

Number of atoms on the surface of the earth:~

So there are more IPv6 addresses than there are atoms on the surface of the earth!

3.4 𝑥1038>1.26 𝑥1034

Analytics

Big Data

Distributed Analytics

Big Data Gather Data

Distributed Processing

Derive patterns, make projections

Distributed Analytics

Machine Learning

Artificial Neural Networks

Application

Remote Control/Monitoring

User Validation

Service Activation

Personal Recommendations

But why?

Healthcare

Traffic Control

Energy Savings

And many other uses! * Supply Chain Management * Industrial Control Systems * Shopping Experiences ….

Research at Auburn Cyber Center

Distributed Data Analytics-How to have different layers “talk” to each other.

Security & Privacy-How to know which devices should be trusted-How to integrate security systems in very low-power devices

Identity Sensing- What are the safest/most efficient ways of identifying a person or group of persons inside of an environment?

How to Get Started SparkCore – http://spark.io

- Arduino-based platform, cloud service provided.

- Easy to program and prototype with. Intuitive Web IDE
