The Different Things of the IoT
To set the stage for what is to come, this opening class will look at the types of things that are out there. There are many IoT application areas, spanning industrial, medical, consumer, etc. The data analyses that are done will depend on the types of devices, so we will discuss some of these.

A Look at Communications & Devices
Getting all that data from place to place is an important element of the whole IoT system but is not generally visible. In many cases, we will have custom devices involved close to the things we are controlling. This class will discuss systems that are two way (measurement and control) and some of the controller devices that are available on the market.

Cloud Storage and Formats in the IoT
Generating and communicating data is great, but we need to have somewhere to keep it. In the current environment, the perfect place is the cloud. This is where most IoT data will go and where it will be analyzed. The cloud provides ease of access, flexibility, redundancy, and unlimited growth potential. We will discuss the storage structures and Big Data formats that are used.

Examples of Big Data Analysis
Now that the things have been deployed, and the data communicated and stored, we need to analyze. We will look at some examples of how this analysis is performed and used. These examples will include analysis with feedback (i.e., higher level control), analysis used for product improvement (e.g., PLM) and analysis used to understand consumer use. These last two are related, but often are done by separate groups with different goals.

Machine Learning & Analysis Techniques
One of the most important statistical techniques used in analyzing IoT data is machine learning. In this final class, we will discuss some important techniques, such as support vector machines and unsupervised learning. An understanding of the techniques is important in determining what can be done in applications that design engineers may encounter.
