Summary form only given. The complete presentation was not made available for publication as part of the conference proceedings. Internet of Things (IoT) is the network of physical objects or “things” embedded with electronics, software, sensors, and network connectivity. It enables the objects to collect, share, and analyze data. The IoT has become an integral part of our daily lives through applications such as public safety, intelligent tracking in transportation, industrial wireless automation, personal health monitoring, and health care for the aged community. IoT is one of the latest technologies that will change our lifestyle in the coming years. Experts estimate that as of now, there are 23 billion connected devices, and by 2020 it would reach 30 billion devices. This tutorial aims to introduce the design and implementation of IoT systems. The foundations of IoT will be discussed throughout real applications. Challenges and constraints for future research in IoT will be discussed. In addition, research opportunities and collaboration will be offered for the attendees.
In modern communication network unwanted failures occurred. A design of robust network is required to handle the failures, restore the failed part and maintain the traffic flow of the network within a permissible time frame, at the lowest cost. The next-generation (5G) communication and computing networks, software-defined networks and internet-of-things networks assures to provide high speeds, impressive data rates and remarkable reliability. We need to design complex and robust next generation networks that must be built with minimum failure possibilities, quick failure recovery capabilities and high network restoration capacity. Therefore, improved network restoration models are needs to be developed and incorporated. In this paper, a comprehensive study on network restoration mechanisms that are being developed for addressing network failures in current and next generation (5G) networks is carried out. Open-ended problems are identified, while invaluable ideas for better adaptation of network restoration to evolving 5G communication and computing models are discussed.
