CEO,
72 Engineering Company Limited
Title: IoT and Data Analytics for GIS Technology
Abstract:
The Internet of things, or IoT, is a network system of interconnected computing devices, mechanical and digital machinery, items, animals, or people with unique identifiers (UIDs) and the ability to transfer data without requiring human-to-human or human-to-computer interaction.
The Internet of Things (IoT) paradigm describes networks of things that detect and interact with their surroundings without human intervention. It gathers data and transfers that data to users and applications via the Internet. IoT applications can generate vast amounts of data, with a significant portion incorporating geographical features and necessitating programs to deal with the geospatial relationships of the objects and extract information and knowledge.
The location of things becomes crucial as the Internet of Things (IoT) permeates our daily lives, being utilized to address a wide range of real-life challenges and concerns. The precise location of IoT measurements in the physical world is critical for understanding local environmental conditions or developing sophisticated, tailored, and context-aware location-based services and applications. The GIS (Geographic Information System) analyzed the Internet of Things (IoT) based on its location dimension, categorizing IoT applications and projects based on the geospatial analytical tools used.
