IoT Software Development and Delivery | @ThingsExpo #IoT #M2M #API

Strategies for IoT Software Development and Delivery In the world of IoT, as software simplifies our lives, it in turn becomes a lot more complex. Imagine the following scenario: Your car recognizes you as you enter the car. It also knows that today is Friday and that it is 6 pm. After consulting with your iPhone calendar, the car knows that on Fridays you always go swimming at Hotel Nikko in downtown San Francisco. It then checks the real-time traffic information and automatically recommends the best route to the Hotel. After swimming, you are about to head home. But the smart r... (more)

I recently attended and was a speaker at the 4th International Internet of @ThingsExpo at the Santa Clara Convention Center. I also had the opportunity to attend this event last year and I wrote a blog from that show talking about how the “Enterprise Impact of IoT” was a key theme of last year’s show. I was curious to see if the same theme would still resonate 365 days later and what, if any, changes I would see in the content presented.
