The Intelligence in the Internet of Things

Driven by the convergence of cloud technology, rapidly growing data volumes, and
increasingly connected devices, the Internet of Things (IoT) poses new challenges and
presents a host of new opportunities that can be seized right now by businesses of all
sizes and industries. This system-of-systems will be fundamental to realizing business
