DESCRIPTION:Universe is a vast\, but nevertheless connected\, entity whose
  evolution is governed by the laws of physics. These rules give rise to re
 current patterns within the universe\, e.g.\, light\, electrons\, molecule
 s\, living creatures\, planets\, galaxies etc.\, that are persistent carri
 ers of information. These laws of physics serve at the same time as protoc
 ols of communication between these information carrying entities. Thus\, o
 ur description of the universe can be regarded as a theory for an INTERcon
 nected NETwork of EVERYTHING we perceive\, i.e.\, INTERNET of EVERYTHING (
 IoE). However\, the quest for establishing a coherent understanding of thi
 s IoE requires probing it by our technology. In this regard\, the technolo
 gical term IoE\, i.e.\, the concept of expanding the INTERNET to EVERYTHIN
 G\, actually stands for the effort of expanding our knowledge and technolo
 gy to match as much as possible to the universal IoE\, and to gain control
  over it. This vision of IoE\, therefore\, is that of connecting our alrea
 dy developed infrastructure to all the various entities we observe within 
 this universe\, ranging from molecules and cells within human body to the 
 people and planets. The realisation of IoE\, however\, demands novel engin
 eering solutions to overcome the unique connectivity\, spectrum scarcity\,
  miniaturization\, interoperability\, and energy-efficiency challenges. In
  this seminar\, first\, our vision of IoE will be introduced\, and then\, 
 an overview of our most recent studies to address the fundamental challeng
 es of IoE will be presented along with a discussion of future research dir
 ections. Particular emphasis will be given to the recently emerged ICT fra
 mework\, Internet of Bio-Nano Things (IoBNT). State-of-the-art enabling te
 chnologies and challenges in implementing IoBNT will be discussed with an 
 overview of ongoing work on nanoscale communication networks\, bio-cyber i
 nterfaces\, and human body molecular networks\, e.g.\, nervous nanonetwork
 . A broader vision towards implementing the Internet of Energy Harvesting 
 Things\, Internet of Sensors\, Internet of Vehicles\, Internet of People a
 nd Senses\, 5G Internet of Things\, and Internet of Space\, as the main bu
 ilding blocks of the IoE will be delivered. \n\n
