There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

The “Internet of Things” (IoT) concept has been described by some as amorphous,blurred, clumsy, confusing, fuzzy, meaningless, nebulous, or vague. Others - such as the overwhelming majority of US consumers - never heard of it.
Yet, the growing number of articles, conferences, workshops, and reports on the topic around the world clearly indicates that something is happening, at least brewing, and invites us to notice and seek some kind of understanding. In short, the societal changes that IoT is on the cusp of bringing about are so broad and deep that we cannot ignore them.
