The Internet Of Things

The Internet of Things (IoT) is the concept of linking various objects to the Internet that sense/acquire and transmit data in the environment to create a new application. From a standardization perspective, the IoT can be viewed as a global infrastructure, enabling advanced services by interconnecting (physical and virtual) objects based on evolving interoperable information and communication technologies (ICT). The success of the IoT will depend strongly on the existence and effective operation of global standards. The standardization initiative, research projects, national initiatives and industrial activities are outlined in this chapter. There are already many standardization activities related to the IoT, covering broad research areas: wireless and cellular technologies, networking protocols, emerging applications, media-centric IoT. What is needed, therefore, are a harmonization of standards and effective frameworks for large-scale deployment.

AbstractThe mission to move from fossil to renewable energy sources is accompanied and enabled by the digitalization of our energy systems. With the introduction of information and communication technologies, the widespread integration of distributed, renewable sources, even in the distribution grid, are enabled. New use cases such as fast EV charging, local energy communities and dynamic energy tariffs are also enabled. However, this move toward digitalization also increases the exposure of the energy systems for cybercrime and raises concerns regarding the privacy of personal data. In this article, we address the issue of privacy in smart energy systems and give an overview of current methods to enhance privacy.

The Internet of Things (IoT) has already penetrated an ever-increasing array of daily aspects of life. IoTs bridge the analog and digital worlds in an unprecedented manner and degree by providing in situ sensing. Adding to the IoT the capability to collect interrelated multi-modal sensing, the use of the Internet of Multimedia Things (IoMTs) has recently been exhibited to significantly enhance the role of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in numerous applications, and most importantly in agrifood systems. In this work, we review key recent works in the conjunction of the three domains of IoMT, agrifood and precision agriculture and present open research directions.

The advantages and disadvantages of Mooreʼs, Hilderʼs, Amdalʼs, Gustafson-Barsis laws known in the field of information and communication technologies are shown, offering the necessary mathematical apparatus for constructing similar laws for predicting the efficiency of modern multicomponent computing systems. This apparatus includes both the parameters of the components of computer systems, and possible interdependencies between those parameters. In general, forecasting the efficiency of computer systems requires detailed documentation of the work of computer systems of the class given (the series given) on certain types of tasks with subsequent processing of the data obtained. The collection and processing of this data must take place and be recorded in the dynamics with assistance of appropriate smart sensors of the Internet of Things class.

AbstractInformation and Communication Technologies (ICT) have experienced a large application in many fields, such as smart homes, health monitoring, environmental monitoring, and a great number of studies is present in literature. In particular, it is expected that the Internet of Things (IoT) will become increasingly pervasive in everyday life. Among different technologies, devices based on Long Range (LoRa) and LoRaWAN stand out due to their relative low cost, low power consumption and large cover range. In this survey, recent papers investigating applications of LoRa modules have been selected. The different use-cases are presented with a comparison between communication parameters and results obtained.

While information and communication technologies (ICT) can play a crucial role in tackling issues related to sustainability, and reducing resource consumption in every sector, they also consume huge amounts of energy, andthis, combined with the predicted rapid growth of demand for communication services, is expected to make the whole sector more and more energy-hungry in the coming years. The sustainability of ICT itself is also becoming an urgent challenge. Actions can be taken in several directions: i) introducing a massive and pervasive use of renewable energy sources, a step that requires the design of communication services to be revised; ii) enforcing rules and policies that induce the provisioning of sustainable services and promote the adoption of proper attitudes; and iii) involving the users who will become conscious consumers and participate in crowdsourcing projects tomonitor consumption and foster energy-aware behaviours.

The article analyzes the degree of implementation of information and communication technologies, in particular the Internet of Things in Europe at all levels, from individuals and households to large enterprises. An assessment of the regional distribution of internet use across European countries was performed to identify dependence between the pace of development and level of utilization of Internet of Things technology. The purpose of this study is to analyze the level of mastering of information and communication technologies by European citizens and enterprises, in particular the state of development and the level of application of the Internet of Things. In the course of the research, the methods of systematic and comparative analysis, statistical research and logical generalization were used. Based on the processing of European statistical reports, discrepancies were found between the degree of development of Internet of Things technologies, since the northern and western regions have a more developed technological base than the southern or eastern regions. Among private users of IoT technologies, technological solutions for managing the power consumption of a smart home are most popular, and among smart devices for connecting to the network, they most often choose to use the internet on a TV. The analysis of internet userbase indicates the existence of a divide in digital area, and its likely increase in the next few years, due to the gradual introduction of 5G Internet services. Based on the results of the analysis of the IT infrastructure of European enterprises, the most popular tools for applying Internet of things technology were identified. The analysis showed that European enterprises most frequently choose smart meters, smart lamps, and smart thermostats to optimize energy consumption in the premises of the enterprise among other devices and systems that can be monitored or remotely controlled via the Internet. It was found that large enterprises mostly used devices or systems to optimize energy consumption in the premises of the enterprise, and among medium and small enterprises, tools for optimizing logistics were most often used.
