Tutorial

Summary form only given. The first part of the tutorial will be dedicated to IoT and M2M communications and will cover the following. The fundamental operations in IoT based systems are (i) M2M data collection from sensors and RFID tags, (ii) data processing to generate new information and (iii) ability to control using actuators. But achieving that is not quite simple due to several challenges: (i) heterogeneity of the physical things, (ii) management of these connected things, (iii) high mobility, (iv) discovery of IoT services and things, (v) M2M data processing, (vi) lack of standardization efforts and (vii) security. The tutorial will then highlight: . Uniform data exchange with physical things. . CoRE Link based configuration and description of the connected things. . Open Mobile Alliance LwM2M Technical Specifications based M2M Device Management. . Incorporating legacy things into IoT using proxies. . Network challenges and different low power communication protocols (CoAP). . M2M data processing using semantic web technologies. . Mechanisms to secure the IoT systems and wearable things will be discussed. . The standardization efforts in oneM2M, ETSI, W3C and IEEE will also be presented. The second part of the tutorial will touch upon the concept of smart city and various problems faced in a smart city (e.g. finding a parking, waste collection, traffic congestion). Then the tutorial will highlight the applications of M2M communications and IoT to solve these problems thereby acting as enablers of the smart city. Finally the tutorial concludes with summarizing the entire presentation and references to current literature.
