Flashcards: COSC111 - Terms
Precision Farming
It is an IoT-based agricultural practice that monitors soil conditions and crop health.
GDPR
It is the regulation in the EU that governs data protection and privacy for IoT devices.
Modular Architecture
It is the design approach that allows different parts of an IoT system to scale independently.
MQTT
It is the lightweight messaging protocol that operates on a publish-subscribe model, suitable for low-power IoT devices.
6LoWPAN
It is the protocol that adapts IPv6 for low-power wireless networks, enabling constrained devices to participate in IoT.
Thermal Harvesting
It is the energy harvesting technique that uses thermal energy to power industrial IoT devices near machinery.
AWS IoT, Azure IoT, Google Cloud IoT
It is the cloud-based platform recommended for managing data from multiple IoT devices to ensure scalability.
Autonomy and Control
It is an ethical concern in IoT that arises when users lose control over their data due to device autonomy.
Edge Computing
It is a component in Industrial IoT (IIoT) that processes data locally before transmitting to central systems.
Autonomous Vehicles
It is an IoT application in smart cities that uses geofencing to optimize vehicle operations.
Smart Agriculture
A sector using IoT for monitoring soil, weather, and crop health to improve yields.
Bias and Discrimination
Ethical issues arising from IoT devices making decisions based on incomplete or skewed data.
Autonomy and Control
Ensures ethical IoT design, especially to prevent losing user control over devices or data.
Modular Architecture
Architectural design allowing independent scaling of system components.
RPL
A routing protocol designed for low-power and lossy IoT networks.
GDPR
A European Union regulation ensuring data protection and privacy compliance for IoT systems.
6LoWPAN
Adapts IPv6 for low-power wireless networks, enabling small devices to connect in IoT.
CoAP
Lightweight protocol similar to HTTP, enabling communication in constrained IoT environments.
Edge Computing
Places computation near the data source, reducing server load and enhancing performance.
