Creating a Vibrant IoT Ecosystem through Consensus-Based Collaboration
It is predicted that 50 to 100 billion things will be electronically connected by 2020. This Internet of Things (IoT) will fuel technology innovation by creating the means for machines to communicate many different types of information with one another. With all objects in the world connected, lives will be transformed. But the success of IoT depends strongly on standardization, which provides interoperability, compatibility, reliability, and effective operations on a global scale.
Recognizing the value of IoT to industry and the benefits this technology innovation brings to the public, the IEEE Standards Association (IEEE-SA) is offering a one-day workshop to:
- identify collaboration opportunities and standardization gaps related to IoT;
- help industry foster the growth of IoT markets;
- leverage IEEE’s value and platform for IoT industry-wide consensus development; and
- help industry with the creation of a vibrant IoT ecosystem.
