Track: Internet of Things |
| IoT Research Roadmap |
| Internet of things (IoT) has been a topic of great interest for the past decade. It enables the connectivity between objects (devices) to improve our daily life. According to Al-Fuqaha et al. (2015), it is the combination of identification (RFID), sensing, communication, computation, services, and semantics. The identification permits the exact naming of the objects to match services with their demand. The sensing layer allows the collection of data to be stored at a warehouse, database or cloud for analysis and decision-making. The communication layer facilitates the connection between the objects to deliver the smart services. The computation layer is to process the data gathered from the objects via sensing. The service layer is to cater to specific demand. Finally, the semantics are referred to the ability to extract knowledge intelligently from different objects to provide the required services. All these layers are the attributes of the idea aiming to improve our life by connecting devices, technologies, and applications. Various research topics have been studied in academia and at the industrial level to develop hardware/devices and technologies to bring the idea to life. This proposal aims at organizing a panel of academic and industrial researchers on various IoT topics who will talk about the state of the IoT knowledge where they will take us to the research journey where it all started and the progress that has been made to date. This panel will feature three speakers who are Shuhui Grace Yang, professor of computer science at Purdue University Northwest, Hamza Soury, Senior Electronic Engineer Integrated Components and Solutions Division Caterpillar Inc., and Mahmoud Wagih, Research Fellow from the University of Southampton, UK. They will give an industrial and academic perspectives on the research that has been undertaken on IoT. The panel will be led by Dieff Vital, Bridge-to-Faculty Postdoc at the University of Illinois Chicago. |
