IEEE IoT Newsletter - March 2016

Research Challenges in the Internet of Mobile Things
Nanjangud Narendra and Prasant Misra
The number of intelligent devices continues to grow exponentially, giving these smart things the ability to sense, interpret, control, actuate, communicate and negotiate – over the hyper-connected Internet of Things (IoT) space. There are several reports that predict that by the year 2020 there could be in excess of 20 billion devices connected to the interneti; and therefore, for understanding the complexities of this massive scaling, many research efforts are underway to model and design IoT-based systems.1

Real and Virtual Objects in the IoT: Two Distinct Worlds or Two Sides of the Same Coin?
Michele Nitti, Virginia Pilloni and Luigi Atzori
The reason today for the attractiveness of a virtual world is tied to the promise of addressing the challenges that the IoT is and will be facing in the near future.1 One major cause of these challenges is the shift of the current interaction model from that based on humans looking for information provided by objects (human-object interaction), to the object-object interaction.

IoT & Realtime Communications
Dean Bubley
We have grown used to the idea of devices and machines communicating between themselves, and with IT systems. From the early days of machine-to-machine connectivity, to today's expansive visions for IoT, we expect networked sensors, actuators, consumer electronics and other devices to send data in both realtime and in delayed/batched messages.
The Internet of Space (IoS): A Future Backbone for the Internet of Things?
Sanjay Raman, Robert Weigel and Tim Lee
The Internet of Things (IoT) is arguably one of the most exciting and revolutionary technological developments of the internet age. While the definition of IoT continues to evolve within IEEE and beyond, it is generally agreed that the IoT is a network of cyber-physical devices comprising embedded electronics, sensors/actuators, software and network connectivity, enabling such devices to collect and exchange data over the internet. Current estimates are that there will be more than 25B IoT devices (some estimates call for more than 50B devices) deployed by 2020.
