Brief Overview

What is the Internet of Things? Is it a hype, or a reality?...

According to ITU's Internet of Things Global Standards Initiative, The Internet of Things (IoT) is a global infrastructure for the information society, enabling advanced services by interconnecting (physical and virtual) things based on existing and evolving interoperable information and communication technologies.

John A. Stankovic highlights the Research Directions for the Internet of Things in his invited paper [a] in the inagural issue of IEEE Internet of Things Journal (IoT-J).

Gregory D. Abowd, envisions a fourth-generation computing, as Collective Computing [b].

Eleonora Borgia [c] describes her IoT vision.

Gubbi, et al. [d] present their vision about Internet of Things.

Literature Review

I have compiled a list of survey papers on various aspects of IoT, including security and privacy; (secure) protocols; applications in health care, industry; context-awareness; middleware.

You will be assigned to a topic and build a bibliography on the topic. Further, you'll select and present one paper of your choice from that topic.

More details will be discussed in class. Done, see below.

Review Papers

Please read as many of the following papers and review the two (2) assigned to you.

Please follow the general guidelines below. Your review should not exceed one letter size page, typeset in 10pt fonts, with 1in margins around. Please email a pdf copy of your review, when done. The deadline for the reviews is the last day of classes (Midnight, Monday, April 18, 2016).

There are many references about reviewing academic publications. The following are the top hits of my google search for "how to review an article":

• How to Write an Article Review
• Writing a journal article review
• How to Write a Critical Review of a Journal Article
• How to Read and Review a Scientific Journal Article: Writing Summaries and Critiques
• The Book Review or Article Critique
• Writing a Critique or Review of a Research Article
• How to become good at peer review: A guide for young scientists
• Write a critique
• Write a Critique in Five Paragraphs
• ...

Note that the above implies a very thorough work, and usually, it means you have to write a few pages (see example reviews). Although this is not the case for us, you should follow the suggestions as close as possible, thus your review may go over a page by a paragraph or two and that is acceptable.

Here is a document that will help you for your presentations as well.
