About the Event:
IoT and Smart Cities have become commonly used phrases and yet not well understood. What are some of the key challenges involved in these technologies? What are their applications to both business and smart cities? A majority of M2M and Smart City solutions are vertical silos with limited interoperability and is limiting the potentiality of both IoT and Smart Cities. This issue extends to all the layers of the stack- sensors, protocols, networks, middleware etc. Professor Solomon Darwin, Param Singh and Kilton Hopkins (IoT advisors for the City of San Francisco) will present a framework for what should be a vibrant discussion.
