Overview

The next wave in the era of computing will be outside the realm of the traditional desktop.In the Internet of Things (IoT) paradigm, many of the objects that surround us will be on the network in one form or another. Radio Frequency IDentification (RFID) and sensor network technologies will rise to meet this new challenge, in which information and communication systems are invisibly embedded in the environment around us. This results in the generation of enormous amounts of data which have to be stored, processed and presented in a seamless, efficient and easily interpretable form. This model will consist of services that are commodities and delivered in a manner similar to traditional commodities.
