Question

(b) Stepping outside Our Comfort Zone. [10 marks]

Solution

In this paper we argue that existing best practices in building robust and secure systems are insufficient to
address the new challenges that IoT systems will present. We provide recommendations regarding
investments in research areas that will help address inadequacies in existing systems, practices, tools, and
policies. The goal of this white paper is to consider the core software, systems, and networking
technology shifts created by the IoT trend and try to anticipate the major challenges such systems face in
terms of usability, performance, security, and reliability. There are many important research challenges
beyond those discussed here that need to be addressed for IoT to see its full potential. Specifically, topics
like data management, storage and communication, machine learning, and privacy are also important

The components are:
- Hardware devices that are able to sense and interface with the physical world
- Data collected on the behalf of the user by these devices
- IoT hubs that funnel data from the physical world to the cloud
- An IoT marketplace with value-added apps that interact with devices and the cloud
- Services, large and small, that the apps connect to (could be one or more, could be a vertical
device-app-service, or could be stratified)
- Varying sizes of data stores, including federated data stores that normalize data from
heterogeneous sources, that the services maintain (collected from the apps and devices)
