At the present time the smart technology enhanced to be utilized for the human life in many elds, especially in the houses. The building automation experienced a rapid growth in techniques and methods to provide an advanced management for operational advantages in buildings and develop the equipment in the houses to the consumption of energy and operation. When the KNX system has been developed to be the most important building automation, the ethernet system has evolved to be global communication system and use it as automation system. Among the various technological developments is IoT, which is the essential development the future achievement via the internet techniques, Meanwhile the different available communication mediums of KNX and the need of utilizing IP network in compiling extensive areas of KNX has led us to conduct this comparison.

Consulting agency PricewaterhouseCoopers has identified eight key technologies for the digital economy: the Internet of Things and artificial intelligence - the foundation for a new generation of digital resources; robotics, drones and 3D printers - devices that help transfer the capabilities of a computer to the material world; virtual reality is also augmented - technologies that combine the physical and digital worlds; blockchain and cloud computing - a new approach to basic business accounting operations. Analysis of recent research and publications. The topic of big data is still controversial, although it is being studied by specialists in various fields (economics, information technology, politics, and others). The influence of big data on social processes and business organization, in particular, was studied by Bill Franks, Victor Mayer-Schonberger, Kenneth Kukier, Eric Siegel, John Foreman and others. Publicistic materials prevail among domestic sources, but there is a lack of fundamental works in this direction. Purpose of the article. explore the essence and practical application of revolutionary digital technologies - cloud computing, big data and the Internet of things. The article identifies the advantages and disadvantages of cloud technologies, forms a model of cloud services, discusses technologies for working with big data, analyzes the results of a Tech Pro Research survey on the use of big data, and builds a technological ecosystem of the Internet of Things. Digitization is already a reality, and the penetration of the Internet and digital technologies into traditional industries has become one of the main trends in recent years and is taking place on a global scale, which allows us to talk about the digital transformation of all sectors of the economy, social life and the formation of a new economic structure - the digital economy. The practical use of digital economy technologies is a modern trend in the socio-economic life of a modern state, actively influences consumer behavior, manifests itself in mobility and the desire of companies for continuous improvement.


Chapter 1 explores digital technologies that are fundamental to the Fourth Industrial Revolution implementation. The technologies discussed are “Cloud Computing and Predictive Analytics”, “The Internet of Things (IoT)”, “Super-Computers”, “IBM's ‘Watson' Super-Computer”, and “Super-Computers: in General”. The authors strongly recommend that all stakeholders become familiar with the fundamental technology of cloud computing, and the business benefits of cloud computing and of predictive analytics. The internet of things (IoT) is a particularly significant actor in the Fourth Industrial Revolution. This chapter provides an overview of the IoT. A careful reading of this chapter is essential for all stakeholders in order that to appreciate both the pros and cons of the IoT.

The internet of things (IoT) is the network of physical objects—devices, vehicles, buildings, and other objects—embedded with software, electronic devices, sensors, and network connectivity that enable these objects to collect and share information or data. Its applications include smart homes, healthcare, industries, transportation systems, logistics, and energy. Building an IoT real-time-based application involves the proper selection of combination of sensors, technology, networks, and communication modules, supported with the concepts of data processing, remote sensing, cloud computing, etc. This chapter highlights advantages and disadvantages IoT and various techniques, such as computer vision, remote sensing, artificial intelligence, cloud computing, big data, ubiquitous computing, which are widely used in various applications. Many new IoT-based applications will evolve, as new devices, sensors, chips, and computational techniques are developed.

The concept of the Internet of Things (IoT) has evolved over time. The introduction of the Internet of Things and Services into the manufacturing environment has ushered in a fourth industrial revolution: Industry 4.0. It is no doubt that the world is undergoing constant transformations that somehow change the trajectory and history of humanity. We can illustrate this with the first and second industrial revolutions and the information revolution. IoT is a paradigm based on the internet that comprises many interconnected technologies like RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) and WSAN (Wireless Sensor and Actor Networks) to exchange information. The current needs for better control, monitoring and management in many areas, and the ongoing research in this field, have originated the appearance and creation of multiple systems like smart-home, smart-city and smart-grid. The IoT services can have centralized or distributed architecture. The centralized approach provides is where central entities acquire, process, and provide information while the distributed architectures, is where entities at the edge of the network exchange information and collaborate with each other in a dynamic way. To understand the two approaches, it is necessary to know its advantages and disadvantages especially in terms of security and privacy issues. This paper shows that the distributed approach has various challenges that need to be solved. But also, various interesting properties and strengths. In this paper we present the main research challenges and the existing solutions in the field of IoT security, identifying open issues, the industrial revolution and suggesting some hints for future research.

With the development of emerging technology innovations such as the internet of things, classroom management has also shown an informatization trend. Among them, smart classrooms are an important part of the current university information environment construction. The purpose of this article is to build a smart classroom into an intelligent teaching environment with many functions such as intelligent perception and identification, real-time monitoring based on the internet of things technology and cloud computing technology. A questionnaire survey was conducted among freshman students in some majors, and interviews were conducted with the instructors. It was found that 92.19% of the students were satisfied with the classroom learning in the smart classroom environment, and most teachers thought that the teaching effect had been improved. Experiments have proven that the operation of smart classrooms based on the internet of things and cloud computing realizes the intelligence of teaching management services and improves the level of education informationization in schools.

Industry 4.0 is a technology-driven manufacturing process that heavily relies on technologies, such as the internet of things (IoT), cloud computing, web services, and big real-time data. Industry 4.0 has significant potential if the challenges currently being faced by introducing these technologies are effectively addressed. Some of these challenges consist of deficiencies in terms of interoperability and standardization. Semantic Web technologies can provide useful solutions for several problems in this new industrial era, such as systems integration and consistency checks of data processing and equipment assemblies and connections. This paper discusses what contribution the Semantic Web can make to Industry 4.0.
