Elhadj BenkhelifaStaffordshire University, UK Speech TitleEnablers and Inhibitors for the IoT as an Ecosystem for Sustainable Growth |
The need and drive for sustainable development have never been greater. This creates demand for radical ways to improve efficiency and resource productivity. This talk will shed some light on the opportunities offered by the Internet of Things to achieve this desirable ecosystem for sustainability, supported by examples of current and future innovation and technological uses of IoT. It also discusses how the integration of parallel technologies such as Big Data and Cloud computing, with the IoT, could create a recipe for driving sustainable development. Amongst many challenges facing this integration, security and governance will be singled out as some of the main inhibitors to accomplish the IoT mission. The talk will then share the speaker’s latest research on Data Governance and Resilience conclude with future directions.
