Hype Cycle: IoT vs. BE IoT?

IoT: mature technology, but…1. Improve the technology

2. Limit the damage from the “fall” in the through of disillusionment

How did we get here?

Moore’s Law

Intel Announces 14nm Braswell Atom SoC - Apr 201430% power reduction compared to Haswell 22nm

Cooper’s Law on spectral efficiency

LTE-A, 4G, 5G…data-rates double every 2.5 yrs…

Shannon’s limit but increasingly small cells will keep us going

vendors are optimistic…

trends likely to continue (despite batteries…)

objectively speaking…9.3bln  people  on  earth  by  2050  (70%  urban,  source  WHO)  –  2.5bln  in  1950  !increasing  stress  on  planet  resources    

up  to  50%  world  produced  food  goes  to  waste  (source  IMECHE  –  2013)  30%  water  lost  in  transit  (source  WHO  and  various  reports)  substanJal  room  for  improvement  !

age  65+:  516m  2009,  1.53bln  by  2050  (source  US  Census  Bureau)    healthcare  issues!  

!future  ciJes  have  no  choice  but  to  become  smart...IoT  gives  them  the  opportunity  to  sense  problems  and  adjust...  

!50bln  connected  things  by  2020?  maybe  not  only  vendor’s  wishful  thinking…

How do we get there?

Today’s IoTDependability?

Robustness?Reliability? Maybe not…

1. Improve the technologyCentralised

Bespoke

How do we improve IoT?Moore and Cooper will keep us going for a while…

“connectivity everywhere” (urban)

from patchy sensing to widespread sensing, potentially with high data-rate: data deluge!

however: standalone wireless IoT devices likely to remain less reliable than their wired counterparts

meanwhile SDN, NFV, cloud computing: software controlled use of physical resources

“wise” usage of IoT resources: virtualisation (objects + networks + computing) and “weighted” integration (aware of application needs)

a higher peak of expectations for IoT

reduced latency applications (i.e. self-driving cars, tactile

Internet, distributed control of IoT)

1. Improve the technology

getting sensed data across to applications in a resource efficient and reliable way is

only part of the picture

“Infrastructure” technology

Today’s IoT: users perspective

Users must be knowledgeable to choose…

Many bespoke apps…

Data deluge… “Devices” deluge…

Human in the loop becomes the bottleneck…

removing humans from the loop

“I think there is a world market for maybe five computers” Thomas Watson, IBM 1943

50-100 bln connected devices by 2020, 8bln people

luckily (hopefully!) we are not going to have to configure them all!!

How do we improve IoT?A lot of progress being made on the “data to knowledge” transformation front example of NLP, IBM Watson, Eugene, MS Cortana, Siri, exploiting power of computation so far only scratched the surface removing user from the loop (aka “Cognitive IoT”): can automatically select and combine objects to serve a service request, can adapt based on user feedback still substantial user intervention (i.e. choosing apps, providing feedback)

How do we improve IoT?adaptability beyond bespoke applications, move towards more general purpose Cognitive IoT remove user from the loop in choice of app and services: inference from activity and “spontaneous service provisioning” IoT “without” things Social sensing empowerment of IoT (what apps do I use … what traffic do I generate)

Smart IoT will need “smart” people!

“WE are retired an not on a regular schedule. It puts itself into Away Mode all the time just because we do not walk in front of it. Sat I had a party with 12 people here. We were all in the great room and kitchen and dining room - not in the hall leading to the Master bedroom. The nest went into AWAY mode and before I knew it my house was at 75 -- everyone miserable. In the middle of the night it does the same thing. I hate it. I have tried to turn the away feature off online and on the unit, but it keeps coming back on. Also I tried setting the temo to 73 at every possible time. It ignores what I set and still goes into away mode.”

shall we say “educated”?PITFA
