Internet for Things

It’s not about Things

IoT, What is it?

Is it IoT?

“If we had computers that knew everything there was to know about things—using data they gatheredwithout any help from us -- we would be able to track and count everything, and greatly reduce waste,loss and cost. We would know when things needed replacing, repairing or recalling, and whether theywere fresh or past their best.

We need to empower computers with their own means of gathering information, so they can see, hear and smell the world for themselves, in all its random glory.

RFID and sensor technology enable computers to observe, identify and understand the world—without the limitations of human-entered data.”

In the circumstances of:

• Modularity of activity

• Granularity of task

• Low cost integration

more efficient model of economic production

versus the market and organisational hierarchy

Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash SystemSatoshi Nakamoto satoshin@gmx.com www.bitcoin.org

Abstract. A purely peer-to-peer version of electronic cash would allow online payments to be sent directly from one party to another without going through a financial institution. Digital signatures provide part of the solution, but the main benefits are lost if a trusted third party is still required to prevent double-spending. We propose a solution to the double-spending problem using a peer-to-peer network. The network timestamps transactions by hashing them into an ongoing chain of hash-based proof-of-work, forming a record that cannot be changed without redoing the proof-of-work. The longest chain not only serves as proof of the sequence of events witnessed, but proof that it came from the largest pool of CPU power. As long as a majority of CPU power is controlled by nodes that are not cooperating to attack the network, they'll generate the longest chain and outpace attackers. The network itself requires minimal structure. Messages are broadcast on a best effort basis, and nodes can leave and rejoin the network at will, accepting the longest proof-of-work chain as proof of what happened while they were gone.

Bristol is Open

• A public – private – academic – citizen partnership • Sensors connected across the city

• Wireless mesh network connects to a fibre network at 9 locations

• 1500 lampposts host heat, sound, light and air quality sensors.

• Over 200 additional data sets available• Traffic, Energy, Crime and Health trends

• Data collected and made available to partners based on strict privacy and trust policies

• Pay-as-you-go access • Experimentation will uncover new use-cases• Looking to grow the network to neighbouring

cities in the next few years

Informing, Engaging, Connecting

Transport modelling real-time, powered by people-based sensor networks..

Decision spaces will apply a range of cross-sectoral , cross-disciplinary modelling capabilities to deliver decision support capabilities

Common spaces will provide user interfaces to allow proactive, collaborative management of resources and risks, and facilitate the creation of new markets, new regulatory models and new business models

Each Skin will be led by a group of leading research institutions and advised by decision-makers to define the core decision flows to be supported

“Core Platform”Components

“Application Skin” Examples

Sensor spaces will integrate information from an array of different data sources, guided by requirements for decision support

Developing New Experiences

Developing New Experiences

Digital kiosks/signs installed around cities

to help spread emergency messages, show

missing person reports, have maps, and

give real-time transit updates.

In addition to the public safety and security

element, City 24*7 also has an economic

development/revitalization component.

Each ‘ruggedized’ kiosk will include ‘hyper

local’ information and will be used to help

find local restaurants, movie theatres, EV

stations … You will even be able to

purchase movie tickets, etc. via smart

phones.

New York City has already has 250 units
