Specialization of IoT applications in health care industries

Abstract: Presently Internet of things is one of the hottest topics right now in information field of technology. Internet is now not only to connect people but also used to connect one device to another. This connection of day to day things is internet of things. In this paper it will be seen how Internet of things can be used in hospitals and health care centers. Healthcare system in past was merely based on the decisions made by the doctor on the basis of domain knowledge, the patients symptoms and the reports which come through diagnosis. What if with the help of Internet of things the doctor can constantly monitor the patient or can monitor the environment around the patient using sensors. The Internet of Things permits objects to be detected and controlled remotely crosswise over existing system foundation. The Internet of things is empowered by the most recent improvements in RFID, smart sensors and communication tech. The present development in Internet and device-to-device advancements can be viewed as the main stage of the Internet of things.

Learning with the Use of the Internet

Abstract: In this chapter we discuss how the Internet is interacting with mathematics education. After briefly discussing the rise of the Internet and its impact on education, we suggest that it has the potential to disrupt mathematics teaching and learning. Moving far beyond its used as a data resource, we suggest the Internet will provide on-demand access to mathematics knowledge through the collaborative, multimodal and performative affordances of the media that it supports. We note that such affordances will not come to fruition until pedagogical practices have adapted to the rapid pace of this technological change. We conclude by noting that such fundamental change in the teaching of mathematics does have many obstacles, not least that approximately two-thirds of the world’s population does not have sufficient access to the Internet–– and in societies where access is available, access to the Internet often remains limited in classroom settings, particularly for students in low socio-economic areas.

Evolution of the Internet

Abstract: The commercialization of the U.S. portion of the Internet-the loose-knit global assemblage of more than 52,000 autonomous government, university and corporate computer networks in more than 130 countries-is nearly complete. Prior to 1991 the U.S. Internet's physical infrastructure was government-owned and operated, but by mid-1994 it will be almost entirely privatized and available for commercial use. While no complete census of Internet users exists, they are estimated to number from 25 to 40 million worldwide, taking into account both multiple users on each attached network and large numbers of commercial electronic mail users who send messages via the Internet. Currently, the educational community represents the fastest-growing segment of Internet users, but overall the highest growth in terms of both number of networks and traffic volume is occurring in the commercial sector. By mid 1994, the Internet Society projects that Internet traffic will be more than 50% commercial. There is broad consensus today that the evolving National Information Infrastructure (NII) will be constructed from local exchange carrier and interexchange carrier telephone networks, cable television networks, and the rapidly expanding Internet. While there is no consensus yet on precisely what form the future Internet/NII should take, it's clear that Internet/NII services will range from basic store-and-forward electronic mail to high-speed, real-time access to high-value multimedia databases. >

The second wave. Netscape on usability in the services-based Internet

Abstract: It's common to talk about the usability of browser technology, and how the advent of easy-to-use Web browsers has opened the Internet to unprecedented numbers of people with little or no technical sophistication. It's less common to consider the usability of the entire Internet architecture, and the World Wide Web in particular, by users at all levels: programmer developers, administrators, Webmasters and end-users alike. Netscape Communications offers an application architecture and programming model to extend the same usability that created the information-based (first-wave) Internet to a services-based (second-wave) Internet.
