While the Internet of Things (IoT) holds great promise for automation and convenience in our daily lives, it threatens personal privacy. Both consumers and regulators are starting to become aware of this threat and, if developers don't start taking steps to mitigate it, will begin imposing constraints on what the IoT can do. To provide privacy, however, ...

At a hotel in Silicon Valley, not far from Stanford University, executives from a broad spectrum of technology companies gathered to discuss privacy in the era of the Internet of Things (IoT). Their objective was to bring key issues up for discussion, to begin the process of finding solutions. And they had several important messages for IoT developers.

One of the words used most often to describe the Internet of Things is "exploding." But if you want to see a real explosion, make a visit to http://iot.ieee.org, the website created by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). Its expansion has been dramatic as the IEEE tackles the development of the IoT.

MADISON, Wis. -- Techies from Detroit and Silicon Valley to Wall Street and Munich are abuzz with talk about the connected car. Technology companies, seeing big stakes (and dollar signs), are betting big on the growth potential of connected cars.

To the ordinary person, the Internet of Things (IoT) is only for the home. But the Internet of Things covers a whole range of devices and applications. One of them is intelligent transportation systems, promising smarter roads and smarter traffic.

The Internet of Things (IoT) will require interoperability among its devices, but everyone has their own idea of how these devices should be communicating with one another and is pushing their own approach. A new consortium seeks to bring order to that chaos by defining a set of specifications that address the connectivity requirements of IoT devices. ...

Hmmm. I'm not sure how to take that statement. At the MIT Digital Summit in San Francisco, that statement was made on a slide by one of the presenters. Many of the sessions featured companies that are truly on the cutting edge of innovation. Facial and emotion recognition, indoor tracking and locating, the next generation of wearables -- the kind of ...

The IoT & IPv6

7|9|14   |   2:13   |   (0) comments


We've heard for decades that we need to move to IPv6, because we're running out of Internet addresses, and we've somehow worked around it. Flash: The workaround doesn't work with most devices we think will make up the IoT, and IPv6 may be a mandatory step.

Managing the Cost of IoT

7|9|14   |   2:14   |   (0) comments


Experience says the cost of IoT depends most on the cost of the sensor network and the cost of storage. There are steps you can take to manage both, and these will help you make the business case for IoT more easily and also ease ongoing ownership costs.

Standards & the IoT

7|9|14   |   2:11   |   (0) comments


The buzz created by Microsoft joining the AllSeen alliance raises the question of the importance of standards in IoT, and it's not an easy one. It may depend on just how much generalized sensor deployment and use you think will happen.

Governance of the IoT Under Contention

Three major contenders are in play to provide governance of the Internet of Things.

Interpreting Events in Your IoT Application

7|3|14   |   2:10   |   (0) comments


The geographic dispersal of sensors in IoT can wreak havoc with the interpretation of events by your control processes because of issues with recognizing event time stamps and also analyzing the context of events relative to each other.

There's a Lot of Cloud in IoT's Future

6|25|14   |   2:10   |   (0) comments


The distributability and scale of the Internet of Things makes it a logical place to apply cloud technology and to harness cloud services. In fact, cloud/IoT symbiosis may be the most important thing to watch as a metric for assessing how far IoT has and will come.

The use of publish-and-subscribe connections to IoT sensors can provide a lot of benefits, ranging from DoS protection and general policy/compliance control, to ensuring that users of data can find it without having to browse through hosts of non-relevant sensors.

Is There More IoT News Than Apple's?

6|25|14   |   2:09   |   (0) comments


Apple's IoT announcements enter it into a market already established. GE has some new IoT technology that could expand on what's already the largest IoT application, RFID, by adding in imprintable sensors.

The Network Issues for IoT: More Than 'Traffic'

6|25|14   |     |   (0) comments


People think about IoT network impact in terms of traffic, but most IoT devices aren't big traffic generators. What matters in an IoT control network is low latency and low packet loss, and these issues may drive IoT networks to a different and separate place vs. normal enterprise networks.

Three Concerns for the IoT: Scale

Scale, standards, and interoperability are significant concerns that the Internet of Things must address. This vblog is about scaling.

There's More Than One IoT

6|16|14   |   2:09   |   (0) comments


The IoT isn't homogeneous. It's really a collection of different technology communities based on control or open networks, smart or dumb sensors, and fixed or mobile/variable collectors.

You Need the Cloud for the IoT to Succeed

6|11|14   |   2:12   |   (2) comments


The IoT is more than scattering sensors around, it's also doing useful things with the outputs. IoT applications are dynamic, so dynamic that only cloud models can support them effectively. We need to be working on the intersection of IoT and the cloud to insure everything connects efficiently.

Don't Waste Time Naming the Internet of Things

The advent of the cloud generated a lot of hype and new terminology. Let's put that creative energy to different use in the Internet of Things.

Three Considerations in Building IoT

5|22|14   |   2:11   |   (0) comments


If you want to build an Internet of Things, there are three things you need to consider: autonomy of control processes, hierarchy of structure by mission, and security.

Internet of Things in a Box

5|14|14   |   2:09   |   (0) comments


The cloud, unlike the IoT, has specific functions, features, and (most importantly) toolkits like OpenStack that let you build and use it in a plug-and-play way. We have no shortage of interest in the IoT, but we darn sure have a shortage of IoT-in-a-box offerings.
