Event Details

ICFOSS is organizing a Workshop & Internship on Internet of Things, aimed at initiating the creation of a workforce of young talent that is updated on different aspects of IoT.

Overview

Internet of Things is considered as the next stage of the information revolution and involves the inter-connectivity of 'things', which range from urban transport to medical devices to household appliances. Some of the recent surveys predict about 30 billion devices wirelessly connected to Internet of Everything rising to 50 billion by 2020, Applications of IoT include Environmental Monitoring, Infrastructure Management, Agriculture, Manufacturing, Energy Management, Medical and Healthcare Systems, Building and Home Automation, Transportation, and so on.

Smart cities, many of which are planned in India, are expected to drive IoT adoption in India. IoT is more than the Internet of Things, it is about the Internet of Value, which arises from analytics derived out of data collected from connected things. The value arises from cost benefits from such networks, and new services that can be rolled out via such configurations. Productivity, efficiency, effectiveness, risk management and innovation are key value gains of IoT.

Workshop & Internship

The workshop and training sessions are aimed at initiating the creation of a workforce of young talent on IoT implementation. The boot camps will identify and prepare the participants to undergo the workshop on IoT. The participants are expected to complete a proof of concept IoT solution during 4 weeks subsequent to the workshop. Training and mentoring sessions will be made available during this period to strengthen the IoT and entrepreneur skills of participants.

Delegates in boot camps conducted in Trivandrum, Kochi and Kozhikode, will be shortlisted for IoT workshop based on the project idea submission done online during the camp.
