Internet of Things Overview and Requirements
In this class we will take a look at the definition and structure of the Internet of Things and the Industrial Internet of Things, review some competing protocols that are being used, and identify some of the data storage and analysis needs of the IoT and IIoT.

Introduction to Cloud Computing
This class will cover a brief history of the cloud, identify the major providers of cloud services, and examine the needs for interfacing to these services. We will compare high-level services such as Google Drive and Dropbox with the basic toolbox of services from Google Cloud Services, Amazon, and others.

Solutions for Cloud Storage in the IoT
After the Day 2 class, where we investigate procedures for interfacing with cloud services and storage solutions, we will look at methods in current use to interface IoT/IIoT networks to cloud computing and storage. We will also look at tools for developing and monitoring cloud applications, using Google as an example.

Building a Solution Using an ARM Controller
As IoT/IIoT nodes become more scalable (numerous), they will also need to become more autonomous. In this and the next class we will look at a possible solution via a representative â€Å'low-end” ARM microcontroller, using the Freescale K64 ARM Cortex M4 controller on an inexpensive FRDM-K64 board and Oracle Java ME to directly interface to a cloud application and data store.

Finishing Up Our ARM Solution and Conclusion
In our last class, we will finish up the design of the K64 IoT node and look at the requirements for the associated cloud application(s) and data store. We will also look at some other resources for developing cloud-based IoT solutions.
