Abstract:
Recent developments in the Internet of Things (IoT) are ever more islandic, pushing the envelope in a myriad of silos. While the research community has produced significant milestones in improving the energy footprint, processing capacity, and overall resilience of IoT systems, today’s practitioner is faced with significant challenges in adopting an IoT platform/framework/standard. In this tutorial we will elaborate on the chronological and topological evolution of IoT frameworks, targeting a common understanding of the underlying reference models. We will present and contrast leading standards from industry (e.g., SymphonyLink, Thread, LoRaWAN), academia, and research communities (e.g., IEEE P2413 and ETSI), as well as growing alliances that span multiple stakeholders (e.g., AllSeen and Open Interconnect Consortium). We will present the ensuing challenge of Big Sensed Data (BSD), and the critical challenges facing IoT proliferation. This tutorial will elaborate on the role of Convergent IoT in building the next-generation of the Tactile Internet, and delve into the architectural basis of this nascent technology, and the multiplicity of factors that impact Ultra Reliable Low Latency Communication (URLLC) in a global deployment of the Tactile Internet. We will emphasize recent developments in the IEEE P1918.1 Tactile Internet standard, as the presenter is a key player in the development of the architecture, and secretary of the standard working group.

Biography:
Dr. Sharief Oteafy(S’08–M’14–SM’19) is an Assistant Professor at the School of Computing, DePaul University, USA. He received his PhD in 2013 from Queen’s University, Canada, focusing on adaptive resource management in Next Generation Sensing Networks. His current research focuses on dynamic architectures for interoperability in the Internet of Things, Information Centric Networks, and managing the proliferation of Big Sensed Data (BSD). He is currently a key player in the design of the Tactile Internet Architecture, under the development of the IEEE P1918.1 Standard Working Group, where he is now the secretary of the WG. He is actively engaged in the IEEE Communications Society (ComSoc). Dr. Oteafy co-authored a book on “Dynamic Wireless Sensor Networks”, published by Wiley, presented 50+ publications and delivered multiple IEEE tutorials on IoT and BSD. He co-chaired a number of IEEE symposia and workshops in conjunction with IEEE ICC and IEEE LCN, and served on the technical program committee of numerous IEEE and ACM symposia; recently co-chairing the AHSN track in IEEE Globecom 2018. He is currently an Associate Editor with IEEE Access, and on the editorial board of Wiley’s Internet Technology Letters. Dr. Oteafy is a Senior Member of the IEEE, and a professional member of the ACM. He also holds an Adjunct Assistant Professor position at Queen’s University.
