Prof. L. Alfredo Grieco, the author of more than 100 scientific papers published in international journals, Editor in Chief of the Transactions on Emerging Telecommunications Technologies (Wiley), and Associate Editor of the IEEE Transactions on Vehicular, participates in Risk Roundup to discuss the Internet of Things to Internet of Everything.
Internet of Things to the Internet of Everything
Along with the ever-changing definition, nature, and objectives of computers, the continued evolution toward cheaper processors and faster networks has enabled a shift from desktop workstations to laptops, tablets, smartphones, to everyday connected objects, called the “Internet of Things” and now towards “Internet of Everything”.
Due to the rapid evolution towards the Internet of Everything (IoE), there is growing excitement that it will bring nations the next industrial revolution because of the way it will change the way, we the people, will live, work, entertain, shop, and travel, as well as how nations: its government, industries, organizations, and academia (NGIOA) will interact with each other within and across nations in cyberspace, geospace, and space (CGS).
When physical objects in geospace and space become embedded with sensors and gain the ability to communicate through cyberspace, the new information and communication networks fundamentally change the way each NGIOA operates and does things in CGS.
We humans now live in a time where the value and competitiveness of individuals and entities across NGIOA can be enhanced significantly as they take a step forward to take advantage of these new innovative capabilities to get the most value from IoT and IoE devices and the data it generates.
As decision-makers across NGIOA see the vast potential of the IoE ecosystem, they are identifying new growth opportunities by adding digital services and innovations to their current product/service mix and capitalize on the opportunity to sell new digital offerings.
We have reached a time where those NGIOA that hesitate to benefit from the advances of the Digital Global Age could be quickly outsmarted by existing and emerging competitors. Time is now to talk about the Internet of Things (IoT) to the Internet of Everything (IoE).

About the Guest
L. Alfredo Grieco received the Dr. Eng. degree (with honors) in electronic engineering from “Politecnico di Bari,” Bari, Italy, in October 1999 and the Ph.D. degree in information engineering from “Università di Lecce,” Lecce, Italy, in December 2003.
From January 2005 to October 2014, he held an Assistant Professor position at the “Dipartimento di Ingegneria Elettrica e dell’Informazione, Politecnico di Bari”. From March to June 2009, he has been a Visiting Researcher with INRIA (Planete Project, Sophia Antipolis, France), working on the topic of Internet measurements.
From October to November 2013, he has been a Visiting Researcher with LAAS-CNRS (Toulouse, France) working on Information-Centric Networking design of M2M systems. From November 2014, he holds an Associate Professor position in Telecommunications at Politecnico di Bari (DEI).
He authored more than 100 scientific papers published in international journals and conference proceedings of great renown that gained more than 2000 citations. His main research interests include congestion control in packet-switching networks, quality of service in wireless networks, Internet multimedia applications, Internet of Things, Information-Centric Networking, and Internet measurements. He serves as Editor in Chief of the Transactions on Emerging Telecommunications Technologies (Wiley) and as associate editor of the IEEE Transactions on Vehicular Technology (for which he has been awarded as top associate editor in 2012).
He has been constantly involved as a member of the Technical Program Committees of many prestigious IEEE conferences. Within the Internet Engineering Task Force (Internet Research Task Force), he is contributing (as the author of RFC 7554) new standard protocols for industrial IoT applications based on the IEEE 802.15.4e Time Slotted Channel Hopping (new standard architectures for tomorrow ICN-IoT systems). Starting from 2016 he is a Distinguished Lecturer for the IEEE VTS.
