And all IoT platforms have a common goal, says Mayank Thapa, bigdata associate at smartData Enterprises pvt ltd (smartdatainc.com): "connect the data network to the sensor arrangement and provide insights using backend applications to make sense of the plethora of data generated by hundreds of sensors." That connection may be through gateways; the data network will include cloud services; the backend applications can be anything; the plethora is another way of saying "streaming data;" and making sense will involve data analysis, visualizing real-time data, maybe augmented reality, and triggering some type of response, such as device control or "liveware" decision making.
This is an area myself and colleagues have been working on together with many our clients in the sector through our joint Liveware forums (as opposed to software or hardware ...).
