Don't Quit, IoT Retrofit. An Open Cloud Services Platform to Solve Water
Scarcity
In his session at @ThingsExpo, Lee Williams, a producer of the first
smartphones and tablets, will talk about how he is now applying his
experience in mobile technology to the design and development of the next
generation of Environmental and Sustainability Services at ETwater.
He will explain how M2M controllers work through wirelessly connected remote
controls; and specifically delve into a retrofit option that
reverse-engineers control codes of existing conventional controller systems
so they don't have to be replaced and are instantly converted to become
smart, connected devices.

You Be In?

adoption of an enterprise data hub, developers are finding new agility to
create services and applications, as well as decision-making that leads... (more)

Sep. 5, 2015 07:15 AM EDT Reads: 1,649 | By Elizabeth White  Contrary to mainstream media attention, the multiple possibilities of how consumer IoT will transform our everyday lives aren’t the only angle of this headline-gaining trend. There’s a huge opportunity for “industrial IoT” and “Smart Cities” to impact the world in the same capacity – especially during critical situations. For example, a community water dam that needs to release water can leverage embedded critical communications logic to alert the appropriate individuals, on the right device, as...

Sep. 5, 2015 07:00 AM EDT Reads: 125 | By Tim Hinds  Even though you are running an agile development process, that doesn’t necessarily mean that your performance testing is being conducted in a truly agile way. Saving performance testing for a “final sprint” before release still treats it like a waterfall development step, with all the cost and risk that comes with that. In this post, we will show you how to make load testing happen early and often by putting SLAs on the agile task board.

Sep. 4, 2015 07:00 PM EDT Reads: 1,670 | By Elizabeth White  Too often with compelling new technologies market participants become overly enamored with that attractiveness of the technology and neglect underlying business drivers. This tendency, what some call the “newest shiny object syndrome,” is understandable given that virtually all of us are heavily engaged in technology. But it is also mistaken. Without concrete business cases driving its deployment, IoT, like many other technologies before it, will fade into obscurity.
