Convergence of IoT, big data and
cloud
For IoT, number of billions of connected devices is
an indicator of IoT. The connectivity is just an
enabler but the real value of IoT is on data
(business insight/data-driven economy)
For Big Data, data collection is one of the main
concern, and IoT can play an important roles for
data collection and data sharing
For Big Data, data is nothing without real business
value insight
Cloud offers Everything as a Service business
model for IOT and big data.
IoT is a King, Big data is a Queen and Cloud is
a Palace

The goal of this project is to combine ubiquitous and heterogeneous

sensing, smart objects, semantic, big data and cloud computing
technologies in a platform enabling the Internet of Things process
consisting of continuous iterations on data ingestion, data storage,
analytics, knowledge generation and knowledge sharing phases,
as foundation for cross-border information service provision.
 Smart city opportunities and
challenges
Smart City is a concentration of
people and devices
Currently 72% of the EU population
lives in urban areas, using 70% of our
energy.
Most of the data is generated by
people/citizen and
process/machine
IoT/ big data can offer value to
energy systems, mobility, climate
change, and water and air quality,
crime, autonomic car.
 Madrid City-
Environmental Health

Environmental health use case focusing on pollutants, pollen, airborne

contaminants, precise detection to offer improve accuracy of information to
citizen
Install number of environment city sensors on-board public transportation, to
correlated with historical environment health data
 Sendai Smart Village in
Japan

Tago-Nishi is build as a smart city, including town management and

health services
Offering personalize and context aware services, considering the data
from energy-consumption of each of the house, weather, wearable, etc.

 Sense of connection!
Nothing ever exists entirely alone; everything is in
relation to everything else- Buddha

One more from Advaita Philosophy; its also called

non-duality
It says
"the sense that all things are interconnected
and not separate, while at the same time all
things retain their individuality".
 Conclusion
Convergence is everywhere, it is just
starting
Think on the how your business will
convergence and scale-up
Need for more large-scale IoT and big data
testing and experimentation
In developed counties majority people are
living in City whereas in developing countries
still living rural area
IoT, Big data and Cloud are the future of the
world
