Delve deeper into the innovative realm of edge computing with this advanced course. Explore sophisticated architectures and tackle integration challenges, preparing to leverage the full potential of edge computing in a variety of business environments. Gain expertise in cutting-edge tools and methodologies to deploy, manage, and optimize edge computing solutions that meet specific industry needs.

Technological advancements and the exponential growth of information are reshaping business operations across numerous sectors, including government. Government data creation and digital archiving are accelerating, driven by the proliferation of mobile devices and apps, smart sensors, cloud computing solutions, and citizen-facing portals. As digital information becomes more voluminous and complex, the management, processing, storage, security, and retention of this data become increasingly challenging. New tools for capture, search, discovery, and analysis are enabling organizations to derive valuable insights from unstructured data. The government sector is at a critical juncture, recognizing information as a strategic asset. Governments must protect, leverage, and analyze both structured and unstructured information to better serve citizens and meet mission requirements. As government leaders strive to evolve into data-driven organizations, they are establishing the foundation to correlate dependencies across events, personnel, processes, and information.

High-impact government solutions are emerging from the integration of disruptive technologies:

• Mobile devices and applications
• Cloud services
• Social business technologies and networking
• Big Data and analytics

Big Data serves as an intelligent industry solution, enabling governments to make better decisions by acting on patterns revealed through the analysis of large volumes of data—both related and unrelated, structured and unstructured.

However, achieving these goals requires more than just accumulating vast amounts of data. "Making sense of these volumes of Big Data requires cutting-edge tools and technologies that can analyze and extract useful knowledge from vast and diverse streams of information," wrote Tom Kalil and Fen Zhao of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy in a post on the OSTP Blog.

The White House took a significant step toward helping agencies identify these technologies by establishing the National Big Data Research and Development Initiative in 2012. This initiative included over $200 million to capitalize on the Big Data explosion and the tools needed to analyze it.

The challenges posed by Big Data are nearly as daunting as its promise is encouraging. Efficient data storage is one such challenge. With budgets always tight, agencies must minimize the cost per megabyte of storage and ensure data is easily accessible, allowing users to retrieve it when and how they need it. Backing up massive quantities of data further compounds this challenge.

Effective data analysis is another major hurdle. Many agencies utilize commercial tools to sift through vast amounts of data, identifying trends that improve operational efficiency. (A recent MeriTalk study found that federal IT executives believe Big Data could help agencies save over $500 billion while also fulfilling mission objectives.).

Custom-developed Big Data tools are also enabling agencies to meet their analysis needs. For example, the Oak Ridge National Laboratory’s Computational Data Analytics Group has made its Piranha data analytics system available to other agencies. This system has helped medical researchers identify links that can alert doctors to aortic aneurysms before they occur. It is also used for routine tasks, such as screening resumes to connect job candidates with hiring managers.

Connected devices are disrupting numerous industries, with the power utility sector being no exception. Power utility companies are currently navigating four primary challenges arising from the proliferation of IoT:

1. Vendors are increasingly connecting machines, controllers, HMIs, and SCADA systems to the cloud, promising enhanced analytics and insights for predictive and preventative maintenance. However, strict quarantine policies protecting critical assets prevent power companies from fully leveraging these new IoT features offered by machine and controller vendors.
2. As the costs of solar and wind power microgrids continue to decrease, utility companies face declining revenue from traditional power generation. To offset this loss, companies must aggressively pursue new revenue streams, such as Home Energy Management as a Service, Energy Storage as a Service, grid services for EV charging, and P2P energy trading between homes, microgrids, and batteries. Facilitating these services requires smart metering, smart grids, and secure transactions enabled by Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) like IOTA. Additionally, utilities are exploring the provision of smart city services to municipal authorities.
3. For critical infrastructure like dams, ICOLD (International Committee on Large Dams) mandates real-time Structural Health Monitoring (SHM). This allows for early detection of potential collapses in dams, rock formations, or tunnels, enabling timely evacuation of affected populations.
4. Another emerging revenue opportunity is EV charging in parking facilities, raising the question of how IoT can facilitate smart charging and smart parking solutions.

Over the past three years, IoT engineering has undergone massive transformation, largely driven by Microsoft, Google, and Amazon. These tech giants have invested billions to develop IoT platforms that are easier to manage and more secure. Meanwhile, IoT edge computing has gained significant momentum in both research and deployment as the primary method for practical IoT implementation. The advent of 5G promises to further transform the IoT business landscape, leading to unprecedented investment in new areas of IoT research. Consequently, for any practicing engineer, understanding IoT platforms developed for major players like AWS, Google, and especially Microsoft is absolutely essential.

However, none of these platforms offer a fully comprehensive solution for scalable IoT. For instance, deploying smart meters to millions of homes requires additional technologies to secure the meters, radio networks, IoT management tools, and numerous other secured services. The strategy, pricing, and security of any IoT deployment must be optimal and acceptable. Given the interdisciplinary nature of this knowledge, it is nearly impossible for a single company to assemble a team capable of meeting all requirements.

This course aims to educate key decision-makers, developers, and security experts on the challenges, risks, and practical approaches to deploying IoT for next-generation power utility businesses.

Furthermore, as IoT deployments scale, managing services for thousands of sensors and connections has emerged as a distinct engineering discipline. This area, formerly known as managed IoT services, is experiencing rapid growth because the challenges of scalable IoT management are greater than the initial implementation. Key challenges include securing over-the-top firmware/software updates, managing sensor and system calibration, auto-diagnosing connection issues, identifying the root cause of API failures, and tracking the hardware and service health of distributed systems.
