This seminar/one-day workshop will held in Cambridge (in the Computer Lab) on Friday Sep 26th, 2014, in LT2. If you wish to attend, please contact Jon Crowcroft (jon.crowcroft@cl.cam.ac.uk) before sep 20.
The current outline is to have input from two main speakers, Irene Ng from Warwick, and the UK HAT Project and Sasu Tarkoma from Helsinki, and theFinish IoT project: and then have discussions structured around value propositions and use cases for IoT.
Right now, most Internet of Things projects and projects are badly siloed into single domain, and also tend to designs which are walled garden services (e.g. energy systems with web only access) - this is indicative of a market failure, and doesn't bode well in terms of ambitions widely expressed in the larger vision for IoT (e.g. Smart Cities, SMart Homes, mobile e-health etc etc) let alone a true Internet style innovation space.
The intention of this seminar/workshop is to break this logjam, by exposing participants to truly disruptive ways of designing markets and use cases for IoT that provoke more creative, integrative and synthesizing thoughts.
