IoT

With EclipseCon starting in less than 3 weeks, I am starting to be really excited! It is going to be my 7 th EclipseCon in North America, and I wouldn’t miss it for the world! Of course, this year we have lots of great content around IoT (more on that...

On Wednesday the Eclipse Foundation together with Grenoble’s Computer Science Lab ( LIG) organized an IoT day. It was a pretty cool event, with 100+ participants and really good presentations. In particular, I liked the mix in the attendance: people with a research background, people coming from the M2M and...

I very well remember my first day at Sierra Wireless, when it was still a different company named Anyware Technologies. That day I wrote my very first Eclipse plug-in to customize the Console view, and I was almost immediately and genuinely amazed by the versatility of the Eclipse platform. Later...

During the weekend of February 1st, I had the opportunity to attend FOSDEM in Brussels. It was only my second year but it’s definitely one of the events I enjoy attending the most: the crowd is very diverse and very curious, there are tons of talks that you can attend...

Time to get back to publishing some IoT links that I discovered during my weekly research. 1. 2014 Analyst Predictions for IoT/M2M – IDC – Machina Research 2. Lots of MQTT News – OASIS announce a 30 day public review of the MQTT spec meaning MQTT is getting close to...

1. Wunderbar – looks like an interesting kit of hardware and software for IoT applications. They seem to be using MQTT for the message protocol. 2. Comparing bandwidth consumption between MQTT, AMQP and TCP – perfect illustration on why an IoT protocol like MQTT is needed. 3. New MQTT-SN (Sensor...

Weekly links from the IoT and M2M industry. 1. Good article on ‘ Why open hardware matters’ Interesting to see Arduino and BeagleBone collaborating. Lots of people think Raspberry Pi is open hardware but in reality it is just really accessible hardware. It also seems like the Raspberry Pi has...

Interesting links from the M2M and IoT industry. 1. Introducing Intel Galileo – Intel for Arduino Not terribly surprising to see Intel getting closer to the open hardware community. Open hardware is driving a lot in M2M and IoT 2. Top 10 Challenges of IoT Stefan Ferber from Bosch Innovations...

EclipseCon is in about a month, and we are so excited about what’s cooking for M2M this year! Today, we contributed Mihini source code, after an initial review that took longer than what we initally planned, and EclipseCon in Boston will be the first opportunity for you to get a...

Last year, EclipseCon Europe was the moment when the Eclipse Foundation, together with Eurotech, IBM and Sierra Wireless announced the creation of the M2M Industry Working Group. Over the last 12 months, a great deal of stuff has happened: there are now three projects living under the umbrella of the...
