Convergence of IoT, big data and cloud For IoT, number of billions of connected devices is an indicator of IoT. The connectivity is just an enabler but the real value of IoT is on data (business insight/data-driven economy) For Big Data, data collection is one of the main concern, and IoT can play an important roles for data collection and data sharing For Big Data, data is nothing without real business value insight Cloud offers Everything as a Service business model for IOT and big data. IoT is a King, Big data is a Queen and Cloud is a Palace

Cloud-based IoT Big Data applications Massive monitoring Real-time actionable insight Observation Performance and optimization Proactive and predictive Prescriptive and descriptive http://www.manufacturers.com.tw/trades_newsinfo.php?id=3355 Source of file

Key requirements of IoT-Big data platform Security and privacy Intelligent and dynamic Scalable Distributed and decentralized Real-time

iKaaS-EU-Japan IoT big data platform Global Cloud Knowledge Storage The goal of this project is to combine ubiquitous and heterogeneous sensing, smart objects, semantic, big data and cloud computing technologies in a platform enabling the Internet of Things process consisting of continuous iterations on data ingestion, data storage, analytics, knowledge generation and knowledge sharing phases, as foundation for cross- border information service provision.

Smart city opportunities and challenges Smart City is a concentration of people and devices Currently 72% of the EU population lives in urban areas, using 70% of our energy. Most of the data is generated by people/citizen and process/machine IoT/ big data can offer value to energy systems, mobility, climate change, and water and air quality, crime, autonomic car.

Sense of connection! “Nothing ever exists entirely alone; everything is in relation to everything else”- Buddha One more from Advaita Philosophy; it’s also called non-duality… It says … "the sense that all things are interconnected and not separate, while at the same time all things retain their individuality".

Conclusion Convergence is everywhere, it is just starting Think on the how your business will convergence and scale-up Need for more large-scale IoT and big data testing and experimentation In developed counties majority people are living in City whereas in developing countries still living rural area IoT, Big data and Cloud are the future of the world
