Abstract
Internet of Things (IoT) enables a global network of physical objects, that can see, exchange information and accomplish tasks by acting together. It will revolutionize major industries and touch almost every aspect of public life. In just a few years, billions of devices will produce and report data about trillions of events. To support IoT, communication infrastructure should not only provide efficient data exchange and delivery at extremely large scales, but also enable devices with limited computing, memory and power resources to offload some of their critical functions into the edge or the core of the network and operate seamlessly.
In this talk we will review state-of-the-art requirements and discuss current design approaches and key enablers for the IoT. Following the review of the main application areas and targeted service level agreements for IoT systems, the focus will be devoted to discussing key elements of the design of IoT architecture and software stack, including virtualized network functions (NFV) and software defined networking (SDN). At the software level, availability of generic application frameworks that support adaptive IoT application partitioning during runtime and provide simple and unified access to virtualized resources becomes an essential enabler for building future IoT systems.
