Abstract
Internet of Things (IoT) is the network of physical objects or “things” embedded with electronics, software, sensors, and network connectively. It enables the objects to collect, share, and analyze data. The IoT has become an integral part of our daily lives through applications such as public safety, intelligent tracking in transportation, industrial wireless automation, personal health monitoring, and health care for the aged community. IoT is one of the latest technology that will change our lifestyle in coming years. Experts estimate that as of now, there are 25 billon connected devices, and by 2020 it would reach to 50 billion devices. This tutorial aims to introduce the design and implementation of IoT signal processing systems. The foundations of IoT will be discussed throughout real applications. Challenges and constrains for the future research in IoT will be discussed. In addition, research opportunities and collaboration will be offered for the attendees.

History, Motivation and Focus
This tutorial is designed for students, academic researchers, industry affiliates, and individuals who would like to learn more about IoT as well as its applications. The tutorial is intended to provide the attendees with a complete overview of potential benefits, future research challenges, implementation effort and applications of IoT. Attendees will come to this tutorial equipped with their own IoT ideas to make them a reality by showing them how to build a complete IoT platform. Moreover, they will learn how to connect external sensors to measure the surrounding environment, communicate data up into the Cloud, visualize the data on the Internet. They will learn how to design and implement the IoT signal processing systems. Challenges and constrains for the future research in IoT will be discussed as well. By completing this tutorial, we will add more experts to enterprise our future IoT
