Cyber-physical-social-thinking space based science and technology framework for the Internet of Things

Abstract

The Internet of Things (IoT) as an emerging network paradigm is bringing the next scientific and technological revolution for ubiquitous things' interactions in cyber-physical-social spaces. The IoT influences the current science and technology system by enabling its relatively stable interrelations for an inevitable architecture reconfiguration. In this paper, we aim to explore an updated science and technology framework for the IoT. Particularly, a novel cyber-physical-social-thinking (CPST) space is established by involving an attractive concept of the Internet of Thinking (IoTk), and a science and technology framework is accordingly proposed referring to both scientific aspect (i.e., cyber-physical, social, and noetic sciences) and technological aspect (i.e., fundamental, physical, cyber, and social technologies). According to the perspective of the traditional Chinese culture, we explain the established science and technology framework, in which the "Five Elements" (i.e., wood, fire, earth, metal, and water) have common properties with the restructured cyber-physical science in the IoT. Moreover, we introduce a scenario of smart city to identify the technological aspect in the IoT, and discuss the key enabling technologies, including resource management, energy management, data management, session management, security and privacy, loop control, space-time consistency, nanotechnology, and quantum technology. It turns out that the established science and technology framework will launch an innovation for academia and industry communities.

Technopsychology of IoT Optimization in the Business World

“…From a cultural standpoint, ICT value and knowledge sharing are the central point of focus. One of the most interesting cultural model perhaps is the one proposed by Ning and Liu (2015). In a model they called "cyber-physical-social-thinking (CPST) space", they proposed that the Chinese culture of Five Elements of Wood, Fire, Water, Earth, and Metal are key determinants whether a system of IoT actually works well.…”

Internet of Things Backed by Knowledge Management for Smart Home

“…Is necessary to explore in the context of current technology for the Internet of Things through active participation of the people who interact with him, particularly in the social and cultural sphere, since innovation of physical objects produces changes in the human mind as natural reflex. Tackle management control of things requires the formalization of human behavior and learning, for example, cognitive psychology, neuroscience and the decision [2].…”

“…Therefore, knowledge management related with internet of things is a useful strategy for effective interaction with users and it takes advantage of technology to help people, for these control their household electrical devices according to their needs but especially an analytical knowledge spurred by benefits in different aspects achieved by good energy management based on the information emitted by objects. For this reason the internet of things should be designed to adapt to the different sources of Energy supply includes, the types of loads connected in homes, allowing the traditional power grid improve energy efficiency, adding intelligence information, converting it in the internet of things energy (ITE) [2].…”
