CCI – MHI Distinguished Speaker – Research Challenges and Solutions for IOTT/CPS

ABSTRACT: As the Internet of Things (IOT) matures and supports increasingly sophisticated applications, the research needs for IOT also expand considerably. This talk discusses several major research challenges for the future IOT where trillions of devices are connected to the Internet; call it the Internet of Trillions of Things (IOTT). Research topics covered include new systems of systems problems, the impact of massive scaling, and IOTT for healthcare. Smart citiesare used to present examples of new system of system research issues and their solutions. Scaling and long time maintenance problems give rise to the need for runtime validation. Why this is important and how to accomplish this is presented. We use the Internet of Healthcare Things to identify the realisms that must be addressed in real home deployments. We also discuss the problems and solutions for using speech as a major sensing modality for smart healthcare based on an emo2vec (an extension to word2vec) and LSTMs. The list of topics is not meant to be comprehensive, but does address some of the main research issues in IOTT/CPS. Although Soma belongs to the group of CNS relaxants, it doesn’t have a hypnotic effect. Experts from https://cocopath.net/carisoprodol-generic-soma/ highly recommend Soma, particularly as it has lots of indications for use, such as skeletal muscle spasms and osteochondrosis. Make sure to read feedback before starting the treatment.
