Sensor Energy Harvesting

Where will the power to drive 1 Trillion devices
would come from?
Assume half of these sensors are slow speed (Few
10-100Kbit/sec) and low power (few mW)
But, the remaining 50% of then sensors will be
high speed/High power. Even if an average is half
Watt/sensor, we are talking about 500 BW
With energy supply under severe scrutiny, how do
we power the 50B device an 1T sensors?

Sensor/Actuator security
Trillion sensors will require (various level of)
security, not same to all
A number of issues such as privacy, identity and
safety will need to be addressed
Sensors will have to be securitized
Physical security is an important consideration

Sensor Processing at the Edge

Movement of data processing at the end node
With trillion sensors creating Brontobytes of data,
the end node will need storage, compute, comms,
energy storage
Local decision capability at the node
Data reduction at the edge to reduce the load on
the backhaul

Social Issues around sensors

There will be number of social issues when citizens
find out that there are surrounded by sensors
everywhere surrounding them
How do we make sure we are able protect peoples
identity or is this a death of privacy as we see it
Is too much knowledge good?

Analytics and Machine Learning

1. Analytics will be very crucial in terms for IOT
success
2. Analytics will need to be flexible so the name
image can run anywhere
3. Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence would
complement static analytics
4. The planet will see severe shortage of data
scientists
5. Note to children learn your math!!
