In this session, Markus van Kempen discusses Internet of Things (IoT) use cases and examples. He demonstrates a geo-fencing application that tracks workers on a construction site using mobile devices and delays detonations if workers are still in danger areas. He also outlines how IoT connects devices to applications using MQTT and topics to publish and subscribe to sensor data.

In this session, we discuss an Internet of Things (IoT) industry use case to monitor
people and devices on a construction site. We show a demo of a geo-fencing
application involving workers in a gold mine, where controlled explosions are
performed. The workers will be outfitted with mobile devices that track their
locations. The workers will be sent messages telling them to move to a safe area
and if there are still any workers in the danger area, the detonation will be
postponed.

IBM defines Internet of Things as…
The Internet of Things represents an evolution in which objects are
capable of interacting with other objects. The Internet of Things helps
enable proactive data access from any connected device.

11. IBM Internet of Things
• Open royalty free spec designed for things
• Being standardized now through OASIS
• Wide variety of clients and servers
• Hobbyist to enterprise
• Open source to commercial
• Can easily implement device clients
• Simple messaging semantics
• Asynchronous (“push”) delivery based on
pub/sub
• Simple set of verbs
• Connect and Disconnect
• Publish and Subscribe
• Minimal wire format
• Smallest possible packet size is 2 bytes
• No application message headers
• Lightweight footprint
• Clients: C = 30Kb; Java = 100Kb
• Three qualities of service:
• 0 – at most once delivery
• 1 – assured delivery but may be duplicated
• 2 – once and once only delivery
• Built-in actions when clients loose contact
• Last-will-and-testament publishes message if
client goes offline
• Stateful “roll-forward” semantics and “durable”
subscriptions

1. Motion sensors installed in rooms to be monitored
(can work for cubicles too)
2. Microcontrollers, periodically, broadcast each room’s
motion state measured by the sensors
3. Data is aggregated and motion state is decided
4. Rooms and Reservation (R&R) data to be procured
for each room (where applicable)
5. Aggregation between R&R and motion to determine
room state:
No motion no reservation
Reservation, but no motion
Motion in the room

1. Workers (purple marks) wander around quarry (green zone)
2. Upcoming explosion zone appears (Red zone)
3. IOC generates SOP, which contains instructions for operator
4. Operator informs workers about upcoming explosion.
5. Workers run away to the safety (Blue zone)
6. Operator checks if everybody is in the safety
7. Operator allows the explosion.
