Motivation – Internet of Things (IoT) for the Connected
World
• Many definitions for IoT depending on perspective: applications,
technological, benefits, etc.
• In general, the Internet of Things is the process by which environmental or
operational data is networked and processed to become actionable
information.
• Examples of IoT are:
• Sensors for microbial awareness in cities
• Connected automobiles / autonomous driving
• Smart buildings: adaptive lighting and air conditioning
• Structural Health Monitoring (SHM)
Ambient Energy System Data Information

Uses of IoT in Business/Industry
Information and Analysis Automation and Control
1. Tracking Behavior
• Inventory and supply-chain
management
2. Enhanced Situational Awareness
• Damage detection in composite
structures using Acoustic
Wavenumber Spectroscopy
3. Sensor-Driven Decision Analytics
• Condition-based aircraft
maintenance vs. time-based
maintenance
1. Process Optimization
• Continuous, precise adjustments
in manufacturing processes
2. Optimized Resource Consumption
• Intelligent energy grid to match
consumption demand / prevent
power black-outs
3. Complex Autonomous Systems
• Adaptive automobile cruise
control and collision avoidance
systems
