The Internet of Things (IoT) 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 also include the human-machine interface (how humans can interact effectively with intelligent systems via voice, motion, and other non-textual approaches) and augmented reality (how humans can gain greater insight into physical operations by seamlessly overlaying digital insight into their real-world interactions.

Topics Covered:

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