Overview

The large-scale deployment of IP-connected sensors, monitors and actuators, in the home and in industry, enables the development of new interconnected, interoperable servcies which hold the potential to transform our daily lives.

M2M technologies offer a vision of mash-up applications founded in reality, utilising multiple new sources of information, in contrast to the virtual world of mash-up web services. This vision is often referred to as "The Internet of Things", but it's not the connected things which are important. Instead, what is important is the information which they provide us and how we combine and present and use this information and how we make decisions based upon it.

The Internet of Things offers a technical viewpoint, we must also look beyond that to see the societal impact, to understand how we will make use of this technology to change our lives for the better.

A key feature of this vision of the future is the variety and range of technologies, functionalities and requirements which we need to take into account. During this course we will aim to address these issues and expalin the options for both architecture, protocol and standards.
