Title: Internet of Things (IoT): Signals, Communications, Challenges, and Future Research
Abstract: 
Internet of Things (IoT) is the network of physical objects or “things” embedded with electronics, software, sensors, and network connectivity. It enables the objects to collect, share, and analyze data. The IoT has become an integral part of our daily lives through applications such as public safety, intelligent tracking in transportation, industrial wireless automation, personal health monitoring, and health care for the aged community. IoT is one of the latest technologies that will change our lifestyle in coming years. Experts estimate that as of now, there are 23 billon connected devices, and by 2020 it would reach to 30 billion devices. This talk aims to introduce the design and implementation of IoT signal processing systems. The foundations of IoT will be discussed throughout real applications. Challenges and constrains for the future research in IoT will be discussed. In addition, research opportunities and collaboration will be offered for the attendees.
