We prefer Sensor Analytics Ecosystems #SensAE to #IoT as a focus. We connect sensors to give immediate usefulness. We use simple triggers, alerts and reports, and grow into more and more valuable analytics through #compStat, to bring together an ecosystem or ecosystems, to understand and facilitate the flow of identities, energy, ideas, ideals, information and conversations among people, processes and things for safety, security and sustainability

We also see how #DigitalTwins are increasingly used to make better decisions with digital twins of cities, spaces, traditional/vertical farms, supply chain graphs, and even the whole planet. This is where #Causalinference in DigitalTwins comes into play to bring direct and indirect monitoring to understanding the impact, through causal digital twins #CDT of new technologies, policy decisions, regulatory changes This is especially important for #ClimateChange mitigation

So #InternetOfThings sensor analytics ecosystems, need to treat the physical, social and business processes as a flow of identities, energy, conversations, ideas, ideals and information as among individuals and things, without a central hub, interacting as independent, trusted entities. We realized that the focus on #Edge vs #Core #Fog vs #Cloud was obscuring the need to orchestrate raw, merged, and analyzed #data throughout #IoT; iterate policy with tech as #SensAE

We [@czds and I] started with the definition of ecosystems:
“The whole #system including not only the community but the whole complex of physical factors in the widest sense” — Tansley, A.G. “The Use and Abuse of Vegetational Concepts and Terms” ECOLOGY 16:284-307 published in 1935. From this and interpreting for #IoT we have characteristics for sensor analytics ecosystems as decentralized, distributed, asynchronous, scalable and elastic

Involvement with IBM’s #SmarterPlanet and briefings on their original #Watson #CognitiveComputing efforts shaped our thinking about #InternetOfThings, as did working with John Morada when he was at CapGemini. #SmartRegions and the impact of #IoT when considered as an ecosystem shifts the focus from technology to the health and security of the people using and the environment of the region. All areas and interfaces become important, not just technology #IoTday #IoTday2024 12/16

That started @czds and I on the path of using #RFID and data from #mobile #barcode readers in various industrial #SupplyChain and #Logistics #EDW and #BI projects our company were doing. We matured with #InternetOfThings and focused on #IoT and “smart” everything projects. This led to our IoT #MaturityModel of connection, communication, contextualization, collaboration, causation, conceptualization and cognition, which evolved from 2013 origins until today with #SensAE #IoTday #IoTday2024 11/16

I mentioned that @czds and I begun working with #IoT data in 2000. This is soon after Kevin Ashton coined the term #InternetOfThings and #RFID played a part in our use of #IoT #Analytics. We were heading a professional services firm at the time, focused on data management and analytics, #DataWarehouse #DataMarts #BusinessIntelligence #BI and a friend of a member of our Board had a RFID chips factory. We were asked how we would use that data in #SupplyChain analytics #IoTday #IoTday2024 10/16

The fact is #Agriculture is an early adopter of technology and are heavy users of data; from the 80s with satellite data through today with the use of #IoT and #DigitalTwins combined with ancient techniques for crop planning, water conservation and natural nitrogen fixing (eg clover cover crops) to create rich sensor analytics ecosystems #SensAE. An important evolution is the use of controlled environment agriculture #CEA such as vertical farms and integrated agriculture #IoTday #IoTday2024 9/16

Finally, Rob Tiffany was to join us for a discussion of #agricultural #DigitalTwins continuing the #Sustainability part of the discussion, extending #regional #Security into the area of #FoodSecurity and bringing the impact of the current #climateCrisis into the discussion. Unfortunately, it had gotten to about 2 in the morning where Rob was. We did discuss his work for #IoTday and indeed #IoT #analytics #DigitalTwins and #SensAE can all aid in our response to #climateChange #IoTday2024 8/16

We moved to #Sustainability with Shyam Varan Nath discussing the use of #IoT #DigitalTwins for optimizing the use of #renewableEnergy especially wind turbines, in #SmartRegion sensor analytics ecosystems #SensAE The discussion also considered #Causal Digital Twins, the use of #TeleInterActive #Microgrids and the dependencies of sustainability and #Security in urban settings #InternetOfThings #IoTday #IoTday2024 #AIIoTforGood #Tech4Good 7/16

Also in the area of security, Dave Bartlett started the discussion, speaking about the #IoT technology Spoke Safety, their customers and partners are using to protect vulnerable road users #VRU including cellular vehicle-to-everything #CV2X connectivity providing situational awareness for drivers and bike, scooter and wheelchair users, and pedestrians #IoTday #IoTday2024 #SensAE 6/16 https://www.spokesafety.com/

Another good source for #IoT #InternetOfThings information is The IoT Community. They host virtual and live events and training including several #IoTslam conferences each year. They have an online community with various levels of membership from free to corporate. #IoTday #IoTday2024 3/16

You can discover ongoing events and plans for #IoTday at https://iotday.org/ The theme for #IoTday2024 is #AI #IoT for good. #TechForGood is always a good theme. In 2009, we developed the concept of sensor analytics ecosystems #SensAE others seem to be catching up by combining #AI and #IoT There’s a lot to consider here 2/16
