Internet of Things and its applications
The document discusses the Internet of Things (IoT), predicting that by 2020 there will be approximately 50 billion connected devices, which will actively participate in business and social processes. It outlines various technologies involved, such as RFID, Wi-Fi, and Zigbee, while emphasizing the need for a universal protocol to facilitate interoperability among diverse IoT devices. Additionally, it highlights the potential applications of IoT in areas like transport, logistics, health, and home automation.

- 4. Definition CERP-IOT: Internetof Things (IoT) is an integrated part of Future Internet and could be defined as a dynamic global network infrastructure with self configuring capabilities based on standard and interoperable communication protocols where physical and virtual ‘things’ have identities, physical attributes, and virtual personalities and use intelligent interfaces, and are seamlessly integrated into the information network. In the IoT, ‘things’ are expected to become active participants in business, information and social processes where they are enabled to interact and communicate among themselves and with the environment by exchanging data and information ‘sensed’ about the environment, while reacting autonomously to the ‘real/physical world’ events and influencing it by running processes that trigger actions and create services with or without direct human intervention. Interfaces in the form of services facilitate interactions with these ‘smart things’ over the Internet, query and change their state and any information associated with them, taking into account security and privacy issues.
