The Internet of Things (IoT) is defined as an ‘infrastructure of interconnected entities, people systems and information resources together with services which processes and reacts to information from the physical and virtual world’. IoT based systems, and systems of systems (SoS) are increasingly found in a large variety of application domains including healthcare, agriculture and manufacturing.  Implementations of these types of SoS are IT intensive, and draw upon a family of IT technologies that is sometimes referred to as ‘Smart ICT’.  This presentation will, after a general introduction to the concepts and definitions of IoT,  explore the challenges of implementing IoT intensive SoS through examples such as ‘smart’ manufacturing and ‘smart’ cities.

This event will be followed by a drinks reception
