Tuto-01: Designing Internet of Things Systems

Description

This tutorial emphasizes the design and integration aspects of IoT systems. It traces the nature and implementation of end-to-end system data and control flows – from the sensory information capture to its processing at the edge and in the cloud – in order to create insights and act to optimize behaviors of IoT attached systems in the real world. The tutorial starts with an overview of the technical and business motivation and prospects for IoT. It is followed by a detailed exposition of the underlying concepts and architecture of IoT systems. This segment includes a succinct coverage and analysis of functions and roles of the key components – sensors, edge, fog, communications, cloud, data processing and storage with analytics, ML, and AI. An important aspect of the tutorial is to highlight the importance and nature of information modeling of IoT data and metadata in a manner that facilitates M2M semantic interoperability, aggregation, big-data processing, and portability. Control-plane components, including security and management, are also covered in detail. The material is largely based on the presenter’s book “Internet of Things: Concepts and Systems Design” (Springer Nature). The design and integration aspects are reinforced in the final “putting it all together” segment that summarizes key purpose and function-driven activities and decisions necessary to design, implement, integrate, and deploy pilot and production-level IoT systems.
