*** News - the seminar proceedings are available online: Business Aspects of the
Internet of Things Seminar of advanced topics, FS 2008, Florian Michahelles ***
The Internet of Things describes the evolution from a network linking digital information to a network relating digital information to real world physical items.
Today, RFID represents the most prominent technology implementing the missing link between the physical and the digital world. RFID enables to identify physical objects from each other automatically and allows to link any kind of online data to these unique ID's. As a result, the real world and the Internet jointly represent the same reality.
What is this vision good for? Which new meanings and experiences can yield this sharing of information between things? Which enabling technology and infrastructure is needed in order to turn this vision into reality? What are the driving applications that should be designed into an Internet of Things?
The participants of this seminar will study
the fundamental technologies needed to realize this technical vision. In
addition to that, current and future business scenarios will be discussed in
order to distinguish between realistic, critical, utopian and nightmarish
scenarios of an Internet of things.
The first sessions will be dedicated to topics on current technology, concepts
and implementations of RFID. In the later sessions participants will discuss
and evaluate various business cases.
Afterwards, all participants who are interested in gaining even more knowledge of Internet of Things topics will be invited to develope own projects as subsequent Semester/Bachelor/Master Theses under the supervision of researchers of IM.

Talk 6: Applications
for the
insurance business: Pay as you drive (Lee Yuanshan) [slides] Sensing technologies potentially can provide deeper insides into the behaviour of insurees.
