| | 8 JANUARY 2016HIGHERReviewInternet of things (IoT) ­ a science fiction turned into reality touching human lives in real-timeIoT as a new age innovation is gaining momentum and is all set to establish an intricate and complex web of relationship between Human-to-Objects, Objects-to-Objects, Objects-to-Humans, Machine-to-Machine and Machine-to-Human. This interconnected communication will work under the aegis of IoT and internet of everything. The Internet will no longer be merely a network of "human brain", but will integrate real-life objects, sensors and physical activities. The Internet has become a consumer-oriented. The number of connected devices is estimated to be anywhere from 20 billion to 100 billion by 2020. With these billions of everyday objects communicating with each other over the Internet has an enormous potential to change all of our lives. The impact on quality of life of connecting everything-to-everything will bring about a sea change in the way we live.The vision of the IoT is to fuse the physical and digital worlds by bringing different concepts and technical components together. It aims to create a seamless network of billions of wireless identifiable objects that communicate with one another. This vision promises to create a new digital enabled ecosystem in which smart devices would be able direct By Milind Kamat, CEO, Atos India and Purshottam Purswani, Principle Architect, Atos Business Technology Innovation Center, IndiaMilind KamatAtos SE is a leader in digital services with 2014 pro forma annual revenue of 10 billion and 86,000 employees in 66 countries. Headquartered in France, Atos is focused on business technology.their transport, adapt to their respective environments, self-configure, self-maintain, self-repair and eventually even play an active role. Today, technological advances have brought this vision a step closer to reality. Small mobile transceivers are already finding their way into smart devices enabling new forms of communication, not only between humans, but between humans and objects and between the objects themselves. The enablers of IoT are Human beings producing data, smart devices, communication networks and cloud computingChallenges in light of the opportunities·Addressing and Tagging: The IoT should be able to tag or address about more than 50 to 100 trillion objects; most of them would be self-configuring objects that will maintain an interconnection, relationships traceability among them. The current IPv4 internet protocol is insufficient to address this challenge. The solution to this is the universal implementation of new IPv6 internet protocol, which is the new innovative internet platform of the future that has the auto-configuration capabilities that will help bootstrapping In My View
