Internet of Things 101

Internet of Things 101 (AIT501)

Synopsis

Internet of Things (IoT) describes the concept of connecting things (any objects) over the internet. These things have embedded sensors and actuators which aid in the collection/ generation of the data and also perform certain actions through the actuators. The connection between things in IoT can be direct between the things or between physical objects and a back-ned data center in cloud or in the premises. This course gives a detailed introduction to the IoT architecture and the components in a IoT system. This course enables ones to see the complete picture of the functioning of an IoT system, i.e., the connection of sensors/ things, data generation, processing, storage, analytics and deriving meaningful inference or action from the data.
