The Internet of Things and the Connected Person
Wired Innovation Insights - December 2014
In this article, Dr. Adams relays that actually, at the center of the Internet of Things is the person using the many applications and services that IoT will provide. He goes on to say that there is a vision is taking shape around the world of people being connected ubiquitously across smart cities, smart buildings, smart cars and, even through sensors on or in their bodies in areas such as e-health, and that IoT is one of the foundational platforms on which this notion of the "connected person" is predicated. He discusses several IEEE standards helping IoT take shape, and highlights the need for additional standards in areas such as architecture, big data, cloud computing, communications, distributed intelligence, privacy and security of data and the smart grid.

Is There Any Way to Avoid Standards Wars in the Emerging Internet of Things?
IEEE Spectrum - August 2014
"Smart cars, smart gear, smart homes, smart offices and smart cities are all being developed and prototyped today, in hopes they'll benefit from the so-called "Internet of Things" (IoT). Equipping just about every object so that it can connect to the Internet is no different than bringing out single new technologies. Well, at least in one respect: Wherever there are rival standards-as purchasers of junked consumer electronics standards like Betamax and HD-DVD know-there are winners, and there are losers."
