Open data With more data from the Internet of Things (IoT), how will we make use of the information? Data is an asset that must be managed as a valued resource, not only by companies for use and resale, but for its public good and its opportunity to spur new social and economic innovations. A recent Smart Cities World article outlined some good examples on improvements we could make.

Scientists at Harvard University and Google have used an artificial intelligence system to analyse a database of earthquakes from around the world to predict where aftershocks might occur. Earthquakes typically occur in sequences: an initial “mainshock” is often followed by a set of aftershocks, said Phoebe DeVries, a post-doctoral fellow at Harvard University in the US.

The cybercrime economy is booming 2017 was the year of ransomware. So far, 2018 is the year of crypto-jacking: that is, mining crypto-currencies on devices without the owners’ consent. Crypto-jacking offers cybercriminals a high-profit return that is far stealthier than a ransom attack. Code has even been found on compromised websites that can secretly transfer to users and melt down their battery powered devices. Critical IoT infrastructures are already targeted to mine digital currency.

Being able to support such large numbers of devices is important for the “Internet of Things” – where household devices and machinery are also connected to the internet. 5G will make use of sophisticated signal processing techniques such as Multi Input, Multi Output (MIMO) antennae – which will improve the efficient use of bandwidth.

This will generate a lot of future for home automation. It will also create a lot of ‘big data’, which will be consumed by taking consumer patterns and designing bespoke requirements for a city, ward or house. * We will all soon be living in an assisted environment. Like augmented reality, we will soon enter ‘assisted reality’, which will have the effect of reducing our need to complete mundane tasks.
