The City of the Future | @ThingsExpo #AI #IoT #M2M #API #DX #SmartCities

Our cities have been connected since the dawn of urbanization in the Indus Valley and on the plains of Mesopotamia nearly ten millennia ago. Cities exist to gather and connect people, bringing us together into communities and joint ventures that need complex networks of communication. But in recent years the connected city has come to mean something more. Today and in the future, the connected city will not just be about people connecting with people, but people with machines, people with people via machines, and perhaps most importantly, machines with machines. Today's cities use connectivity technologies in many ways. Smart adaptive traffic management is used to change the behavior of traffic lights in response to traffic flow. Parking sensors reduce congestion and pollution by detecting parking space availability and directing drivers to open spots. Trash cans sh... (more)

Data Lake and APIs | @CloudExpo #API #AI #ML #DX #CloudNative #DataLake

The Omnipresent World of APIs These days, APIs have become an integral part of the digital transformation journey for all enterprises. Every digital innovation story is connected to APIs . But have you ever pondered over to know what are the source of these APIs? Let me explain - APIs sources can be varied, internal or external, solving different purposes, but mostly categorized into the following two categories: Data lakes is a term used to represent disconnected but relevant data that are used by various business units within an enterprise.  APIs are created as the easy access points for these siloed data lakes. These days, organizations put in  conscious efforts in designing meaningful and pragmatic APIs for all the apps that get developed internally.  API-First or API Driven Development, where APIs are the first app artifacts to be generated, are adapted by ent...

“Unlearn” to Unleash Your Data Lake | @ThingsExpo #IoT #M2M #DataLake #Analytics

It takes years – sometimes a lifetime – to perfect certain skills in life: hitting a jump shot off the dribble, nailing that double high C on the trumpet, parallel parking a Ford Expedition. Malcolm Gladwell wrote a book, “Outliers,” discussing the amount of work – 10,000 hours – required to perfect a skill (while the exactness of 10,000 hours has come under debate, it is still a useful point that people need to invest considerable time and effort to master a skill). But once we get comfortable with something that we feel that we have mastered, we become reluctant to change. We are reluctant to unlearn what we’ve taken so long to master. Changing your point of release on a jump shot or your embouchure for playing lead trumpet is dang hard! Why? Because it is harder to unlearn that it is to learn. It is harder to un-wire all those synoptic nerve endings and deep mem... (more)

[session] Leveraging AI | @CloudExpo #AI #Chatbots #DX #ArtificialIntelligence

Leveraging AI for Mobile Enterprise Applications Mobile device usage has increased exponentially during the past several years, as consumers rely on handhelds for everything from news and weather to banking and purchases.

In his session at 21st Cloud Expo, Michael Meiner, an Engineering Director at Oracle, will look at this evolution of mobile computing, along with the underlying enterprise technologies that enable this shift. Demos using Amazon Alexa and Oracle Mobile Suite will be... (more)
