Connecting a range of devices to each other can benefit several areas, such as energy conservation, intelligent transportation, health care, food production, environmental monitoring, guarding against terrorism, and creating smart living spaces. This network is called the Internet of Things (IOT), based on machine-to-machine (M2M) technology, as opposed to the current internet, which connects people to each other. The scale of the IOT/M2M internet will be several orders of magnitude larger, which poses serious challenges for researchers and industries over the coming decades. It is predicted that M2M technology will spark another information and communications technology (ICT) revolution based on the 15-year rule depicted in Figure 1. A report by Harbor Research predicts, "M2M will drive the largest organic growth opportunity in the history of business." However, M2M will bring new challenges when billions of devices are connected and able to interact with each other without human intervention. To address these challenges, Intel and NTU have jointly established a research center at the NTU campus called the Intel–NTU Connected Context Computing Center, which aims to explore new M2M technologies for the future. This initiative is supported by the National Science Council (NSC), as well as Ministry of Science and Technology (MOST.)臺大智慧聯網創新研究中心（NTU IoX Center）創立於2011年，集結國立臺灣大學、中央研究院、國立交通大學、國立臺灣師範大學、國立臺灣科技大學等各校專家學者，在資訊、電機、管理與設計等領域與國際產業龍頭英特爾實驗室、台達研究院攜手合作，致力研發人工智慧、智慧物聯網、機器學習、人機互動等尖端技術，創造改善生產力、促成數位轉型、開啟未來的智能化技術解決方案。臺大IoX中心積極尋求與國內產業合作機會，以期拓展智慧物聯網的潛在商機，提升臺灣智能產業引領世界的能力。 智慧聯網技術以人為本，透過科技強化人類駕馭快速變化世界的能力。團隊研發創造超感知（super sensing）、超通訊（super communication）和超認知（super cognition）核心技術，促進人類與機器無縫地互動合作，完成任務。
