The Internet of Things is changing how humans interact with the world. From networked drones to embedded industrial systems, we’re witnessing the rise of the “Metal Class”: intelligent, connected devices generating an ever-growing set of processes. This research area covers the suite of emerging technologies enabling effective integration between the digital world and physical reality. Key topics include the human-machine interface (how humans can interact effectively with intelligent systems via voice, motion, and other non-textual approaches); augmented reality (how humans can gain greater insight into physical operations by seamlessly overlaying digital insight into their real-world interactions); as well as the Internet of Things (IOT).

Topics Covered:

• Sensor/IoT networks
• IoT orchestration
• IoT analytics
• IoT databases
• IoT economics
• IoT security
• Drones
• Wearables
