You are the Teacher

� This is an amazingly awesome group of learners / students. Terrific tech/great diversity of interests

� Everyone in the class will know something of value to someone else

� Nobody in the class will know everything� ..especially your fearless instructor

� We have state of the art tools at hand

� The success of this will be determined in large part by the collaborations and contributions and efforts of everyone

You are the Innovator

� What do you want to build?

� What do you want to connect?

� What skills are you missing?

� Wild Card: Each project / team may recruit one or two additional members to participate from Wednesday @ 4 pm until project presentations on Friday.

� If you need a skill but lack a person, we could possibly recruit from the WaitingList?

Chautauqua: Zen and IoT

“I would like to use the time to talk in some depth about

things that seem important. What is in mind is a sort of

Chautauqua — that´s the only name that I can think of

for it — like the traveling tent-show Chautauquas that

used to move across America, [D] an old-time series of

popular talks intended to edify and entertain, improve

the mind and bring culture and enlightenment to the

ears and thoughts of the hearer.”

Zen and the Art of Motorcylcle Maintenance, Robert Pirsig, p.17

Why IoT Now?

� Many technology and biz drivers

� Global

� Hardware much better, faster, cheaper

� Software more capable, better tools

� Networks are now ubiquitous

� Apps are everywhere

� “There’s an App for that”

� Innovations and Entrepreneurs Thrive

IoT Challenges

� There are many

� Security

� Privacy

� Reliability

� Usability (Support, Performance)

� Maintainability

� Complexity

A further abstraction? Internet of Things:

Connecting anything and everything to

everything and anything

You can’t connect anything to the Internet because it’s a technique not a thing and you don’t want to go out somewhere far away anyway. You should say “connecting anything and everything to each other”.

“Imagine a world in which access to networked technology defies the

constraints of desktops, laptops or smartphones. A future where we

work seamlessly with connected systems, services, devices and

“things” to support work practices, education, and daily interactions.

While the Internet of Things (IoT) conjures a vision of “anytime, any

place” connectivity for all things, the realization is complex given the

need to work across interconnected and heterogeneous systems, and

the special considerations needed for security, privacy, and safety.”

Reset: Taming the IoT Beast

1. Simplicity

a. Are you trying to solve a simple problem with complexity as a bonus

b. Does the approach scale?

c. Novelty or utility?

2. What happens when things go wrong?

a. Power loss.

b. Power reinstatement

c. Door locks with manual over ride and batteries?

d. Connectivity loss. Reason to assure local connectivity

3. Ambiguity

a. What are the implicit assumptions and contexts

b. Are you solving an intrinsically unsolvable problem like trust?

4. Open Interfaces

a. Can I have an agent perform the task (AKA software and delegation)?

b. What are the implicit “contacts” and assumptions in the interface?

5. Trust issues

a. Security privacy – what arises beyond today’s social conventions?

b. What happens when I’m wrong?

c. What or the people I trust just get it wrong (see #@)

Cocoon

“Cocoon combines HD Camera,

Motion Detection &

SUBSOUND™ Technology to

sense activity throughout your

home, all controlled through

your smartphone so you can

take action and feel safe.

Cocoon learns who should and

shouldn't be there. There's no

need to set it when you come

and go and it learns what's

normal for your home to avoid

false alarms.”
