New Reality: A Changing World
• Becoming more decision-driven• Decisions are becoming more complex• Increasingly integrating for decisions via the
Internet
– Physical– Digital
• Everything will be connected to everything else:– Any place, any time, any thing, any one,
any network, any service

Decisions are Related To Assets, Resources, Environment
• Assets– Where is my vehicle?
• Resources– How much energy am I using?
• Environment
– How pure is my air?

Internet of Things as an Enabler for Complex Decisions in an Integrated World
• Instrumented• Interconnected• Integrated
• Intelligent
Provide the right information, in the right granularity and the right condition at the right time anywhere in the network at an appropriate price*

Internet of Things and a Changing World
• Internet of Things well suited to help in decision-making in an integrated real-world context: Creating new value!– Sense & Act– Heterogeneous
– Scale (Many-to-Many)– Persisted memory– Process/Sense-making
Reality:
Internet is expandingPhysical and Digital Integration

Implication for the Information Specialist
• Deluge of data & information– How to make sense of it all?– The role of meta-data & semantics?
– Open-data?• Physical World
– Find, Track and Trace? (Identity, Location)• Twin Worlds?
– Physical and Digital
• E-Textbook readers?• IoT is driving the need for mechanisms to better interface with, and
interrogate information
Imagine when everything is connected to everything else...
