“The Internet of Things: Challenges and Experiences”
Abstract: The Internet of Things (IoT) seems to be omnipresent in our current world.
Whether in smart homes, in connected cars, in smart factories or health technologies,
many developments are related to IoT. But what is actually the Internet of Things and
what is new about it? This lecture will present an introduction to the Internet of Things and
its interpretation in different application domains. It will show the evolution of embedded
systems towards the Internet of Things as well as the future expectations. A review of the
most relevant hardware, software and network technologies in the field will be offered,
including also data analytics and cloud solutions for IoT. Some practical experiences and
initiatives in the different application domains will be highlighted. The lecture will close with
a discussion on the current challenges of the Internet of Things.
