    IoT Use Cases and Technologies
    (BRITISH COLUMBIA INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY, 2020-01-31) DIAN,F. JOHN
    The phrase “Internet of Things” (IoT) alludes to the billions of physical devices connected to the Internet in order to exchange raw data and analyze the information. By collecting data from these devices and analyzing them, IoT makes the devices smarter, and the processes more efficient. IoT can bring endless opportunities to every aspect of our lives. For example, in a city environment, insights gained from that collected data can be used to manage resources and services more efficiently, leading to creating the concept of smart city. The city is smart, if it is connected. In a connected city, the traffic and transportation systems re managed more efficiently, the quality of urban services are improved, the performance of processes are enhanced, the consumption of resources are optimized, and the cost of services are reduced. IoT is in early stages of its life. However, it is growing in a fast pace. As more and more IoT devices are deployed, we witness that every aspect of our lives is changed by the IoT.
