by
ISOC LIVE

ISOC LIVEOn Saturday 16th March, 2024 at 11:30 IST (06:00 UTC) the Internet Society India Hyderabad Chapter (ISOC Hyderabad) will present a webinar ‘Connected Devices‘. IoT or M2M device data refers to the data meant for communication to an application, service or process. Data also refers to data received by a device for its monitoring or for actions at actuator in it. Data stack denotes the data received after the actions at various in-between layers (or levels or domains). Actions at the data-adaptation or other layers can be related to data privacy, data security, data consolidation, aggregation, compaction and fusion. An action can be a gateway action—using one protocol for reception and another one for transmission. The key design principles of connected devices and a case study will be delivered during the session.
