In the not too distant future, physical objects will talk to each other and to us as well. A single car might schedule its own maintenance; all the cars on the road might negotiate optimum routes to ease traffic. One hanger might identify an unused piece of clothing; all the hangers in town might provide the foundation for planned charitable giving. Usage scenarios are easy, but a robust, secure architecture is hard. Exploring the challenges associated with the Internet of Things is the topic for this breakout panel at the 2015 MIT Sloan CIO Symposium.

Internet of Things:
Challenges for a Connected World
According to forecasts, there will be more than 14 billion connected devices in the next five to seven years. The efficiencies from a connected world will drive improved user experiences in energy consumption, manufacturing planning, healthcare and retail, to name a few. How companies respond to the promise of IoT will vary greatly, based on their own visions for a connected world, their current business models and the challenge of adapting to a "sharing" economy. Will businesses profit, what new revenue streams can be realized, and how might companies plan for the new products, services and architectures that will enable - and secure - the Internet of Things? Hear from a world-class panel of researchers, journalists and executives on the trends and issues defining this disruptive business and technological phenomenon.
Steve Rosenbush, Editor of the WSJ's CIO Journal will challenge his panelists:
