Internet. Of. Things.
To build a website 10-15 yrs ago, you needed to
• Assemble a team
• Run through SDLC• Which hardware?
• OS?
• Data store?
• Front & back-end language(s)?
• Protocols? Data formats?
Internet Of Things
Application: JBoss, Tomcat
CMS: Drupal, Wordpress
Specialized: Salesforce, Google Apps,
TurboTax
Era of Platform & Service
Internet Of Things
• LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP/Python)
• .NET (Win Server, C#, SQL Server)
• RoR (Ruby on Rails)
• MEAN (MongoDB, ExpressJS, Angular JS,
NodeJS)
Underneath those platforms:
technology stacks
Internet Of Things
• NSAPI
• CORBA
• CGI
• Java Beans
• COM
Remember these?
Internet Of Things
• MQTT
• CoAP
• 6LoWPAN
• XMPP
• RPL
Who will
Of?
Device fragmentation"Web Scale”
HumansHistorical baggage
Iteration acceleration
Internet Of? Things
…aggregation
• Aggregation to the
“stack” level
• Linear horizontal scale
(pub or private cloud
back ends)
• “Everything” aaS

Internet Of? Things
…data and compute overload
“Every 2 days we create as much data as we
did from the dawn of time to 2003” –Eric
Schmidt (2010)
The “three (or four, or five) Vs” of Big Data –
Velocity, Variety, Volume
A car built in 2014 has about 70 computers in it
…and more than 100 sensors
Internet Of? Things
…first steps into IoT / M2M

• John Deere’s “smart farms”
• Consumer IoT• Insteon
• Tesla

“The future is already here – it’s just
not very evenly distributed”
--William Gibson
But…
Today's "Internet of Things" is really
an ”Internet of IPv4 / TCP/IP / HTTP /
People"
But…
Today's "Internet of Things" is really
an ”Internet of IPv4 / TCP/IP / HTTP /
inefficient People"
What happens when we start getting
smart about everything?
Internet. Of. Things.
The IoT of tomorrow will mainly be a
web of real-time, hyper-optimized,
control-capable devices
…talking to each other.
