Workshop on “Advances in Internet of Things”

The Sharadchandra Pawar College of Engineering, Organized “Two day Workshop on “ADVANCES IN INTERNET OF THINGS” Sponsored by Savitribai Phule Pune University, Pune during 07/10/2016 to 08/10/2016.

“If you think that the internet has changed your life, think again. The IoT is about to change it all over again!” – Brendan O’Brien

Internet of Things is a new revolution of the Internet. A world where the real, digital and the virtual are converging to create smart environments that make energy, transport, cities and many other areas more intelligent. A device become a smart device is called IOT. Now a days there are many android and server based application. In this system, value of sensor (e.g. temperature sensor, motion sensor, accelerometer sensor etc.) will be shown on GUI or web server or android application through wireless communication and device will be controlled automatically. Device will be operated on GSM/GPRS.

All the faculty and staff members actively participated in the event to make it a grand success.

About workshop:

(What is Internet of Things?)

It’s a global network infrastructure, linking physical and virtual objects using cloud computing, data capture, and network communications. It allows devices to communicate with each other, access information on the Internet, store and retrieve data, and interact with users, creating smart, pervasive and always-connected environments.

The Internet of Things (IoT), sometimes referred to as the Internet of Objects, will change everything— including ourselves. This may seem like a bold statement, but consider the impact the Internet already has had on education, communication, business, science, government, and humanity. Clearly, the Internet is one of the most important and powerful creations in all of human history. Now consider that Internet of Things represents the next evolution of the Internet, taking a huge leap in its ability to gather, analyse, and distribute data that we can turn into information, knowledge, and, ultimately, wisdom. In this context, Internet of Things becomes immensely important.
