NIST IoT Standardization Draft Report Comments Due April 18

April 18 is the deadline for comments on the National Institute of Standards and Technology draft report on IoT standardization, the agency said Wednesday. The report cites several IoT applications -- connected vehicles, consumer, health, smart buildings and smart manufacturing. It said there isn't a universal IoT description, but it has two foundational concepts: Components are connected by a network providing the potential for a many-to-many relationship, and some have sensors and actuators that let the parts interact with the physical world.
