Topic: Internet of Things: Enabling smart connected environments
Abstract: Internet of Things (IoT) is an emerging technology for information gathering, data processing and communications. IoT has various applications like smart homes, smart cities, connected vehicles, Industry 4.0, e-healthcare, cyber physical systems and digital twins. IoT can also serve as a platform to establish an intelligent network of devices which can interrelate data and processes to effectively establish feedback systems for automation of processes. Over the past few years, IoT has played an indispensable and vital role in realization of smart connected environments. IoT can improve interconnectivity, flexibility, scalability, time efficiency, cost effectiveness, security, productivity and operational efficiency of such environments. The research on the use of IoT in smart environments is increasing exponentially with IoT emerging as a main contender in the field of wireless automation and a key enabling technology to realise the next generation of smart connected environments.
