Title: Internet of Things / Internet-of-Things / IoT Disambiguation! Speaker: Dr. Martin Serrano Date: 18/Oct/2013 The Internet of Things (IoT) alike the semantic web, cloud computing and other interdisciplinary areas are considered as crucial in the process for designing the Future Internet. Likewise cloud-based systems have influenced end users perspective towards understanding data sharing and efficient computing processing over the Internet (mainly from an economical perspective), the Internet of Things is gradually changing how people see, understand and live with the technology and particularly "sensors". In this presentation not a complex but simple and clear explanation about the Internet of Things, and the major areas associated (i.e. Cloud Computing and Big Data Processing/Analytics) will be introduced to then make a brief revision of the most relevant research challenges in the IoT services and applications to finally understand the relevance and/or relation the IoT area get with the Semantic Web. Additionally, in this talk the most IoT related INSIGHT projects will be cited and IoT Cloud Data related application use cases introduced. It is expected that the attendee will end up with a general understanding of what is IoT and the introduction to the IoT Cloud-Based Data Service systems and what is the relation between Internet of Things and The Semantic Web. This presentation also serves as an overview about the cloud computing systems requirements supporting IoT systems. INSIGHT-Galway plays a leading role in Europe in the IoT Area (from applied research, management and policy makers) the activities conducted in INSIGTH and particularly in the USM group are influencing the continuous evolution of the Internet of Things activities in Europe.
