Introduction: Automated Decision making with no or limited manual intervention is a part of our daily lives, be it at an entrance or exit, or car ignition, home or building management system or a more complex industrial process management system. Decision making can range between centralized & decentralized modes with various shades in between. With the increasing penetration & acceptance of IoT devices, the data traffic around or through these systems in on the rise, but can this instead be used in a dynamic manner for efficient, decentralized decision making & management? This white paper is about exploring these possibilities. What is Dynamic Decision making? It refers to a paradigm described as, "interdependent decision-making that …show more content…
In cases of typical hall way cameras, without dynamic decision making in place, often these high end cameras are reduced to the likes of handheld ‘point and shoot’ cameras. With dynamic decision making, these PTZ cameras can be employed to capture the relevant motion video of moving objects and can be tagged for further analysis. Need for decentralization of Dynamic decision making? With the increasing penetration of distributed intelligence, the ability to decentralize decision making is on the rise. There are environment aware devices everywhere now, from the crude silica gel based humidity indicators to multi-sensor based headcount indicator. Decentralization of dynamic decision making requires additional data points or sources to increase the confidence levels in these decisions taken. What is Internet of Things (IoT)? Internet of Things (IoT) is a network of physical objects or "things" embedded with electronics, software, sensors, and network connectivity, which enables these objects to collect and exchange data . According to Gartner, Inc. (a technology research and advisory corporation), there will be nearly 26 billion devices on the Internet of Things by 2020 . ABI Research estimates that more than 30 billion devices will be wirelessly connected to the Internet of Things by 2020 . As per a recent survey and study done by Pew Research Internet Project, a large majority of the technology
The main tasks of this framework are to analyze and determine the smart activities of these intelligent devices through maintaining a dynamic interconnection among those devices. The proposed framework will help to standardize IoT infrastructure so that it can receive e-services based on context information leaving the current infrastructure unchanged. The active collaboration of these heterogeneous devices and protocols can lead to future ambient computing where the maximum utilization of cloud computing will be ensured.
GPS, drones, spying, and nuclear war are all capabilities of the everyday items around us. These “normal” devices such as an iPhone or computer are all part of an enormous web infrastructure called the internet of things (IOT). The internet of things is a link between the online world and the physical world through connected devices which can achieve physical accomplishments such as taking a pulse. The Internet of things was said to have been discovered in 1999 during a presentation at Procter and Gamble. When Business moguls were trying to find a way to make the internet profitable, they manufactured the term internet of things. Ironically, IOT tracked its usage of term online through “Google Trends”. According to Google, since 2004 IOT was
The internet of things technology has various automated functions inclusive of decision making. This replaces the human need of thinking which may lead to people losing their jobs. Automated decisions are however disadvantageous since they result in unpredictable results that are unmanageable and difficult to audit (Pye, 2014).
As a business manager it is important to understand the growth of IoT’s, because utilizing an IoT in your business can provide you with information to carry what products customers are looking to purchase. This would enable a manager to stay ahead of the competition and make more sales, by only ordering what your customers are going to buy. The IoT could help a manager make more successful business decisions.
The Internet of Things. If you aren't into tech, you may not be familiar with the term or understand what it means. As simply as possible, the Internet of Things or IoT is the vast network of interconnected devices. It encompasses virtually all emerging technologies and will impact our daily lives in ways it is difficult to comprehend. Already, in its infancy, it is impacting healthcare and will continue to do so as more devices become connected and more alliances are formed between companies and machines.
Cloud computing and the Internet of Things (IoT) have spent the last several years in a sort of maximum-acceleration race where they’ve lapped the other players several times over and have only one another to measure against.
A place takes meaning through several aspects. One’s experience at a particular place helps shape how one views a place. These experiences are shaped by people, memories, and feelings we have regarding that particular place. Whether it is Grandma’s house, the cabin, or even your own backyard, a particular place can have a strong impact on us.
With the way technology is speedily changing, analysts have made many predictions about how quickly we can expect things to continue to transform. Gartner, an international think tank, predicts that by 2020 there will be 21 billion connected devices throughout the world. Additionally, the IDC 's Digital Universe study predicts that during that same time the world 's data will grow to be ten times what it is now. This translates to an increase from 4.4 zettabytes (in 2014) to 44 zettabytes in 2020. The Internet of Things is going to contribute at least 10% of the drive behind this massive expansion in big data.
A job for a leader is to make decisions. Most managers or executives have to engage in some aspect of decision making including coming up with ideas, evaluative alternatives, or implementing directives (Brousseau et al., 2006). However, it could be a critical issue for decision makers to build up proper decisions in various situations. Hence, how to adopt suitable technique in decision making processes is a significant text for them. This essay firstly is going to discuss the benefits of automated decision making due to improvement of technology, such as effective quality and services. Yet, abundant limitations including environmental changes and professional shortages will be illustrated in the next part. Furthermore,
The Internet of Things (IoT) is changing how most industries do business and promises a significant return on investment (ROI) in operational efficiency, improved customer experience, risk mitigation, and enabling entirely new business models. The sheer volume of new devices on the network driven by IoT will evolve the scale and range of deploying devices and managing data. Further, recent advances for employing Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) within IoT are creating many new opportunities to enhance data analysis and better decision-making. Although the notion of computing based on sensor data from things was not born yesterday, the meteoric rise of IoT has recently become practical because of smaller, faster,
With the continued rise of the Internet of Things (IoT), so does the continued rise of urgency on part of most product manufacturers and service providers to produce a device that can not only communicate information regarding its current condition, but also communicate the condition of what is around the device. The fast pace of IoT development has produced a perplexing variety of device configurations, each with their own attributes, data structures, and particularities. In addition, companies are deploying variations of devices, each designed to meet specific purposes. As a result, the ability to manage IoT devices is rapidly diminishing.

One such example, Burrus uses is the development it would contribute to the overall safety of constructing a large highway bridge. Burrus, sites to separate scenarios where this newly-developed cement could provide an incomparable contribution to public safety as a whole.
Just imagine – connected devices around your homes, offices and as wearable devices on your body are collecting data that third parties and governments can access. Some IoT applications handle sensitive information about people, such as their location and motion activity. Other are coupled to important infrastructures and strategic services such as the water, power, financial services and traffic
The concept of the internet of things abbreviated as IoT was introduced as early as the late 90’s by Kevin Ashton, the Executive Director of Auto-ID Labs and a professor at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Now, “the Internet of things is already a disruptive technology capable of determining fundamental changes that are happening in everyday life, and it is considered the fourth industrial revolution.” (Hucanu) The Internet of Things (IoT)
