Is a network of physical objects (devices) that are embedded with electronics, sensors, software and network allows objects to be sensed and controlled remotely across existing network infrastructure History The concept of a network of smart devices was discussed in 1982, at Carnegie Mellon University The term “Internet of Things” was coined by Peter T. Lewis in a 1985 The concept became popular in 1999 through AUTO-ID research labs in MIT Development By 2004 scientists showed its household applications In 2008-2009 period analysts form Cisco concluded that the number of devices connected to the global network has exceeded the population of the Earth, thus "internet of people" became the "Internet of things" Devlopment 2009 - with the support of the European Commission in Brussels, annually Conference on “Internet of Things” is held 2010 - IoT becomes the driving force for the “Fog computing” paradigm Applications of IoT and ES Technology Identification Unique ID (IP address) Optical ID (bar-code, qr-code, etc) RFID etc Sensing Light, gas, noise, moisture sensors and etc. Intellectual counters Complex measuring circuitry Communication Wired (ethernet, SPI, I2R) Wireless (wifi, bluetooth, rf) Microcontroller systems Is a small computer on a single integrated circuit containing a processor core, memory, and programmable input/output peripherals Microcontrollers are designed for embedded applications, in contrast to the microprocessors used in personal computers or other general purpose applications What is an Embedded System Combines mechanical, electrical, and chemical components along with a computer, hidden inside, to perform a single dedicated purpose There are more computers on this planet than there are people, and most of these computers are single-chip microcontrollers that are the brains of an embedded system Hundreds of tiny computers are embedded into our houses, our cars, our bridges, our toys, and our work Therefore the world needs a trained workforce to develop and manage products based on embedded microcontrollers.
