Talks
Organisers / Catapult
- "Dog fouling, parking violations, anti social behaviour - more interesting than ultra smart sensors???"
- Open data...
- is available raw
- in modifiable form
- is redistributable
- can be re-used
- anyone can access,
- is free
- "We have to be aware that the data scientists at the hack day can analyse the info freely to come up with patterns, scenarios or conclusions outside of our control"
- Future Cities Catapult is funded by Technology Strategy Board - organiser of this event
- Catapult's main role sounds like it is neutral, matching projects to funding and grants, finding spaces, cleaning up data, making datasets available, etc
Neul
- NEUL - paul egan - "do machines dream of their own network?" - machine-2-machine communication, frictionless IoT / NaaS Network as a Service / Sensor deployment
- in 2013 the OeD has added IoT into the dictionary.
- Internet of Things: "A proposed development of the internet in which everyday objects have network connectivity, allowing them to send and receive data."
- is this to be the rise of the machines? but machines are different to humans and in some cases very different. machines communicate differently to humans.
- first of all there will be more of them than us.
- most will communicate on a scheduled basis, periodically
- they wont have much to say... they might only speak once a week or something, whatever they've been programmed to do
- GE predict that the 3rd industrial revolution - see "industrial internet: pushing the boundaries of minds and machines / peter evans and marco annunziata"
- 1st industrial revolution = mechanisation and economics of scale
- 2nd industrial revolution = electronic comms / www
- 3rd industrial revolution - the industrial internet enabled at scale by IoT - an opportunity for UK plc?
- Possible smart city applications:
- adaptive lighting
- smart waste
- pest control
- hygiene management
- etolls
- parking
- transport and traffic management
- smart grid
- asset tracking
- meters
- water is the next oil, hygiene is the next big thing
- Weightless
- "the industrial revolution has already started, only the scale and timing is being debated. the internet of things is real and is no longer hype, this will change every human's life, and is one of the few truly global opportunities of economic growth"
