Introducing Wearables
Wearables are small electronic devices, which comprise one or more sensors and are associated with clothing or worn accessories such as watches, wristbands, glasses and jewelry. Wearables come also with some sort of computational capability, which enables them to capture and process data about the physical… Read More

IoT Tutorial: Chapter 8 – Introducing Internet-of-Things (BigData) Steams and Analytics
Introduction to IoT Analytics – IoT Analytics vs. BigData Analyticss. In the previous chapter of the IoT tutorial, we explained the affiliation between IoT data and BigData, given that IoT data expose the Vs of BigData. We also illustrated the activities comprising IoT data processing applications, such as data selection, validation,… Read More
IoT Tutorial: Chapter7 – IoT data and IoT-BigData Convergence
Introduction to IoT Data and their Characteristics
Most IoT applications up to date involve the collection and processing of IoT data i.e. data stemming from IoT sources such as sensors, wearables and other internet connected devices. In the majority of cases the business benefits of an IoT application stem from the processing… Read More
IoT Tutorial: Chapter 6 – IoT at the Edge
IoT and the Edge Computing Paradigm – Why Edge Computing? In previous chapters we illustrated how cloud computing enables nowadays IoT applications to benefit from its capacity, scalability, elasticity and pay-as-you-go nature. During recent years a number of IoT/cloud deployments have demonstrated the merits of integrating… Read More
IoT Tutorial: Chapter 5 – IoT Clouds and Semantic Interoperability
Semantic Interoperability of IoT Data Streams: In the previous chapter of the IoT tutorial we introduced the concept of IoT and cloud computing convergence, while presenting concrete examples of IoT/cloud infrastructures, such as popular public IoT clouds (Xively.com, Thingspeak.com). These infrastructures enable the… Read More
IoT Tutorial: Chapter 4 – Internet of Things in the Clouds
The advent of cloud computing has acted as a catalyst for the development and deployment of scalable Internet-of-Things business models and applications. Therefore, IoT and cloud are nowadays two very closely affiliated future internet technologies, which go hand-in-hand in non-trivial IoT deployments. Furthermore, most… Read More
Internet of Things Tutorial: Chapter Three
Emerging and future Internet-of-Things (IoT) systems will increasingly comprise mulitple heterogeneous internet connected objects (e.g., sensors), which will be operating across multiple layers (e.g., consider a camera providing a view of a large urban area and another focusing on a more specific location within the same… Read More
Internet of Things Tutorial: Chapter Two
In our Internet-of-Things (IoT) introduction we highlighted Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) and Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) as two of the most prominent IoT technologies. Indeed, these two technologies can be considered as the forerunners of IoT. During the previous decade, IoT was in most people’s minds … Read More
Internet of Things Tutorial: Chapter One
The Internet-of-Things (IoT) is gradually becoming one of the most prominent ICT technologies that underpin our society, through enabling the orchestration and coordination of a large number of physical and virtual Internet-Connected-Objects (ICO) towards human-centric services in a variety of sectors including logistics,… Read More
