Internet of Thing

Abstract

We are entering a new era of the computing technology that many are calling the Internet of Things (IoT). Machine to machine, machine to infrastructure, machine to environment, the Internet of Everything, the Internet of Intelligent Things, intelligent systems call it what you want, but it is happening, and its potential is huge. We see IoT as billions of smart, connected “things” (a sort of “universal global neural network” in the cloud) that will encompass every aspect of our lives, and its foundation is intelligence that embedded processing provides. The IoT is comprised of smart machines interacting and communicating with other machines, objects, environments and infrastructures. As a result, huge volumes of the data are being generated, and that data is being processed into useful actions that can “command and control” things to make our lives much more easier and safer and to reduce our impact on the environment. The creativity of this new era is boundless, with amazing potential to improve our lives. The following thesis is an extensive reference to possibilities, utility, applications and evolution of the Internet of Things.
