Internet of Everything

Geschreven door Ben van Lier - 06 mei 2013

The American company Cisco has its own ideas about how the Internet of Things (IoT) will develop in the future – it foresees a slow but sure transformation from the Internet of Things to an Internet of Everything. According to Cisco, this Internet of Everything will come into existence once different networks (e.g. Internet, telecom) are seamlessly interconnected. These interlinked networks will make possible billions – and later trillions – of connections, which in turn will create new and hitherto unimaginable possibilities, while at the same time causing new and unforeseeable risks.   Lees meer >>

Networks and (self) organization

Geschreven door Ben van Lier - 29 maart 2013

In the near future, networks consisting of both people and objects, like the Internet of Things, will cause huge changes in organizations. However, the exchange and sharing of information that takes place independent of place and time will not only encourage innovation; it will also present threats if we fail to anticipate these changes adequately or are insufficiently considerate when dealing with these changes.  Lees meer >>

Smart shoes and mobile healthcare

When I go jogging on a Sunday morning, I am seeing increasing numbers of runners with devices attached to their arm. Often it’s an iPod connected to sensors in their shoes, the sensors registering the amount of time the shoe is in contact with the ground.

A virtual coach will then indicate how the performance compares against the personal training schedule.  Lees meer >>

Machine2machine communication opens doors to new innovations

Geschreven door Ben van Lier - 06 juli 2012

The exchange and sharing of information between various types of devices is also referred to as machine-to-machine communication. The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) defines machine2machine communication as: ‘devices that are actively communicating using wired and wireless networks, that are not computers in the traditional sense and are using internet in some form of another’. An increasing diversity in ‘machines’ in our society is independently able to communicate with other machines via wireless connections and the internet, among other things, and to exchange and share information about for example location, time, temperature or speed. Machine2machine communication offers an increasing number of more innovative possibilities which will significantly change our daily life and work in the coming years.  Lees meer >>
