  BUILDING THE INTERNET OF THINGS: from vision to
business opportunities
Module designed and coordinated by Carlo Maria Medaglia, Professor, Coordinator of the RFID Lab of "Sapienza", University of Rome "Sapienza" (Italy).

Dates & Location:

2 days - September 22-23, 2009, Sophia-Antipolis (French Riviera)

Who should attend?
Engineers, Project managers, Technical managers of System Integrators, Service Providers, Telecoms Operators... as well as Security, RFID, Standardization Experts.

What will you learn?
This module will deal with the following topics:
key technologies and standards,
architecture and developments,
applications & services,
market issues and forecasts,
overview of major IoT deployments,
future IoT challenges.
By participating in this training you will acquire in-depth knowledge on the challenges and latest advances of the IoT as an operational network infrastructure, with the final aim to leverage successfully the IoT in your activity.

Key topics:
Communicating objects - RFID - standards - architectures - industrial overview


Presentation:

The Internet of things becomes reality!
Its integration and its mastering will soon be an essential competitiveness and differentiating factor for companies and organizations. Our work will define the key characteristics of the IoT as a global network infrastructure, linking physical and virtual objects through the exploitation of data capture and communications capabilities. This infrastructure includes existing and evolving Internet and network developments.
It will offer specific object-identification, sensor and connection capability as the basis for the development of
independent federated services and applications. These will be characterized by a high degree of autonomous
data capture, event transfer, network connectivity and interoperability.
