6. IoT Definition from Wikipedia
The Internet of Things (IoT) is the network of physical objects or "things" embedded with electronics, software, sensors, and network connectivity, which enables these objects to collect and exchange data. The Internet of Things allows objects to be sensed and controlled remotely across existing network infrastructure, creating opportunities for more direct integration between the physical world and computer-based systems, and resulting in improved efficiency, accuracy and economic benefit.
When IoT is augmented with sensors and actuators, the technology becomes an instance of the more general class of cyber-physical systems, which also encompasses technologies such as smart grids, smart homes, intelligent transportation and smart cities. Each thing is uniquely identifiable through its embedded computing system but is able to interoperate within the existing Internet infrastructure. Experts estimate that the IoT will consist of almost 50 billion objects by 2020. 6

21. What Is an Embedded System?
Embedded Systems
An information processing system embedded into a larger product
End user visualizes using the product, not the computer
Other Definitions
Specialized computing device not deployed as general purpose computer.
A specialized computer system which is dedicated to a specific task.
A device not independently programmable by the user.
preprogrammed to perform a narrow range of functions
with minimal end user or operator intervention.

22. Application Areas Essentially any product line being built today
Trains and automobiles
Telecommunication
Manufacturing
Smart Buildings
Robotics

23. Embedded Systems From Real Life
Typical system could integrate several technologies:
Microprocessor
Sensor technologies
Actuator technologies (e.g. mechatronics)
Power scavenging (e.g. magnetic inductance)
Wireless transceivers
Impossible without the computer
Meaningless without the electronics

24. Efficiency of Embedded Systems
Energy efficient
Code-size efficient (especially for systems on a chip)
Run-time efficient
Weight efficient
Cost efficient
