What’s the Internet of Things
• Definition
• The Internet of Things, also called The Internet of Objects, refers to a wireless network between
objects.
• The Internet of Things (IoT) is the network of physical objects or "things“ embedded with electronics,
software, sensors, and network connectivity, which enables these objects to collect and exchange
data
• A “Thing” in the context of the Internet of things (IoT), is an entity or physical object that has a
Unique identifier, an embedded system and the ability to transfer data over a network
• Heart monitoring implants
• Biochip transponders on farm animals
• Automobiles with built-in sensors
• DNA analysis devices & Other Wearbles etc

IOT Characteristics
5
There are 7 crucial Internet of Things
characteristics:
1. Connectivity. This doesn’t need much further explanation. Devices, sensors, they need to be connected: to an item, to each
other, actuators, a process and to ‘the Internet’ or another network.
2. Things. Anything that can be tagged or connected as such as it’s designed to be connected. From sensors and household
appliances to tagged livestock. Devices can contain sensors or sensing materials can be attached to devices and items.
3. Data. Data is the glue of the Internet of Things, the first step towards action and intelligence.
4. Communication. Devices get connected so they can communicate data and this data can be analyzed.
5. Intelligence. The aspect of intelligence as in the sensing capabilities in IoT devices and the intelligence gathered from data
analytics (also artificial intelligence).
6. Action. The consequence of intelligence. This can be manual action, action based upon debates regarding phenomena (for
instance in climate change decisions) and automation, often the most important piece.
7. Ecosystem. The place of the Internet of Things from a perspective of other technologies, communities, goals and the picture in
which the Internet of Things fits. The Internet of Everything dimension, the platform dimension and the need for solid partnerships.

For whom Interesting in IOT PHD Research
23
Applying Deep Learning for Intrusion Detection
System in the Internet of Things (IoT) Network
• Internet of things (IoT) that integrate a variety of devices into networks to provide advanced and intelligent
services. By 2020, 50 billions of IoT heterogeneous devices are connected to the internet. These
connected IoT devices form an intelligent system of systems that transfer the data without human-to-
computer or human-to-human interaction.
• While enjoying the convenience and efficiency that IoT brings to us, threats to the IoT devices and
applications are on the rise; however patterns within recorded data can be analysed to help predict threats.
There are different types of attacks and threats that may diffuse the IoT architecture, such as spoofing,
DDoS attacks, unauthorized access, man-in-the-middle attacks and ad hoc networks. One feasible
countermeasure against targeted attacks is to apply Intrusion Detection System (IDS) on the IoT network
to detect and report intrusion, policy violations, and unauthorized use. Hence a an efficient approach for
detecting and predicting IoT attacks is needed.
• This PhD project will develop an innovative IDS model for the application and distribution of deep Learning
algorithms within IoT networks. There will be a need to develop proof-of-concept simulations for the
purposes of benchmarking and evaluation. Applicants should be comfortable with programming in a high
level programming or simulation language (C, Python, R, etc.). A background in mathematics/statistics will
be useful, as will experience of planning and workflow scheduling systems.
24
Dead-Zone or Nearly-Dead-Zone Finder in Large IoT
Networks
• The Internet of Things (IoT) is aimed at connecting billions of things and enable communication and information exchanging among
things, where many different types of large directed networks will arise.
• In large directed networks, there may exist dead-zones, where only incoming edges are available but without outgoing edges from
the zone. There may also exist nearly-dead-zones, where the number of outgoing edges is significantly smaller than the number of
incoming edges for the whole zone.
• Finding all such dead-zones and/or nearly-dead-zones in large directed networks is important to analyse and maintain the
networks. Large (nearly-)dead-zones may also contain small (nearly-)dead-zones. For example, a given standalone directed
network as a whole, is a dead-zone. This means that we can build up a hierarchical structure of (nearly-)dead-zones for any given
large directed networks.
• Your tasks in this project mainly include:
• (1) Identify research gaps between existing approaches for finding dead-zones and our target - dead-zone finder in large directed networks;
• (2) Design efficient algorithms to find (nearly-)dead-zones in large directed networks; and
• (3) Evaluate your proposed algorithms against existing algorithms.
• The application of the research results from this project will help us to understand the community structures and communication patterns across large directed networks in IoT.
25
Governing distributed learning algorithms within Internet
of Things (IoT) networks
• In terms of scale the Boston Consulting Group states that “IoT sensors and devices are expected to
exceed mobile devices as the largest category of connect devices in 2018, growing at 23%”. Key markets
that will benefit from this technology push are advanced robotics (digital manufacturing), connected and
autonomous vehicles, and the emerging health and wellness monitoring market.
• These large-scale networks present opportunities and challenges to learn from massive, distributed
datasets. Algorithms to perform supervised and unsupervised learning can enable insight to be derived
from data. Such data is collected and often analysed locally by individual IoT devices, presenting
difficulties when governing the distribution of learning algorithms to arrive at robust conclusions for
queries.
• This PhD project will develop a governance model for the application and distribution of Machine
Learning algorithms within IoT networks. There will be a need to develop proof-of-concept simulations for
the purposes of benchmarking and evaluation. Applicants should be comfortable with programming in a
high level programming or simulation language (C, Python, R, etc.). A background in
mathematics/statistics will be useful, as will experience of planning and workflow scheduling systems.
26
Influence Analysis of Changes in Graph-Based IoT Data
• Recent years have witnessed the fast emergence of massive graph data in many application domains, such as
the World Wide Web, linked data technology, online social networks, and Internet of Things (IoT).
• Most graphs are generally subject to changes in terms of connections and nodes. For example, the emerging
Internet of Things calls for graph data management with connection and node changes because smart things
are normally moving and their connectivity could be intermittent, leading to frequent and unpredictable changes
in the corresponding graph models.
• This project aims to explore what influence can be brought by changes (including both incremental and
decremental changes) in the underlying graph models of big IoT data. New algorithms will be designed to
identify and manage the most influential connections and nodes in an IoT data graph model (Some initial work
has been presented at DASFAA 2017).
• The success of this project will be able to help manage the dynamicity of an IoT system effectively and allocate
resources and budgets wisely to the most critical parts of the system.
27
Multiagent Systems for Resilient Internet of Things (IoT)
Architectures
• Interest in the Internet of Things (IoT) is increasing the demand for new design approaches that can assist the
specification of resilient, distributed architectures. A market analysis report by Boston Consulting Group (BCG)
“Winning in IoT: It’s All About the Business Processes, https://www.bcg.com/perspectives/218353” predicts that $267
billion will be spent on IoT technologies by 2020.
• IoT devices already produce massive volumes of data, which places significant demands upon network infrastructure.
Mobile devices, that move in, out and between networks, place extraordinary demands upon network management
services, which need to keep track of individual device identifiers, as well as knowing which devices to trust.
• This PhD project will investigate Multiagent Systems approaches to the design, modelling and evaluation of IoT
architectures, exploring the use of goal directed behaviour abstractions to model wired and wireless IoT nodes as part
of a larger network. There will be a need to develop proof-of-concept simulations for the purposes of benchmarking
and evaluation.
• Applicants should be comfortable with programming in a high level programming or simulation language (C, Python,
R, etc.). A background in mathematics/statistics will be useful. Experience of predicate/modal logic would be beneficial
though not essential.
