Programme Highlight

Internet-of-things (IoT) is one of the most vital building blocks in the development of Smart Cities. In the coming decade, there will be hundreds of billions of IoT connections. IoT will find applications in all walks of our lives, to name a few, facility and energy management, healthcare, transportation, logistics, aviation, fin-tech, manufacturing, and many others. Nonetheless, the ever-growing IoT market may pose various critical challenges on cybersecurity and data privacy, property, healthcare, ….. For instance, non-harmonization due to interference or incompatibility among IoT devices may result in deteriorating the quality- of-service of IoT networks. In essence, the IoT devices and networks often omit security and privacy measures. Such low-cost designs without any compliances will be a vulnerability for cyberattacks, and they will potentially incur data leakage. An international standard, IEEE 2668, on the Internet-of-things maturity index, referred to as the IDex, has been developed to overcome those challenges. IDex measures the maturity of IoT solutions and technologies and assists consumers, companies, policy-makers to compare, develop, and select IoT solutions efficiently for property technology and applications. The quantified evaluation by IDex aids many applications including but not limited to the reduction in reconciliation costs, efficiency of decision making, carbon reduction efficiency, progress of international integration, and market integrity…etc.
