Unleashing the Full Potential of the Internet of Things: A Service Perspective

Over the past two decades, the Internet of Things (IoT) has increasingly become pervasive and is widely regarded as an important technology to improve productivity, operational effectiveness, decision making, and to identify new business models for social and economic opportunities. While IoT-based digital strategies and innovations provide industries across the spectrum with exciting capabilities to create a competitive edge and build more value into their services, there are still significant technical and theoretical gaps in unlocking the full potential of IoT services in reality. In this talk, we will review the current status of IoT services and discuss the open challenges in IoT service development. We will also report some of our recent research activities.

Michael Sheng is a full Professor and Head of School of Computing at Macquarie University.
