The document discusses the concept of the Internet of Things (IoT) and introduces the idea of 'picos,' which are persistent compute objects that represent entities and encapsulate data. It emphasizes the need for a scalable architecture and a new programming model that utilizes event-driven mechanisms to enhance connectivity and user interaction. The author advocates for decentralized, open-source solutions to create a more immersive and pervasive computing experience.

- 26. We give each thing a persistent compute object, or pico
- 27. Picos are online computers Identity—they represent a specific entity Storage—they persistently encapsulate both structured and unstructured data Open event network—they respond to events Processing—they run applications autonomously Event Channels—they have connections to other picos APIs—they provide access to and access other online services
- 28. Picos Are Decentralized & Networked

Editor's Notes
- #2: - 1 trillion is *really* big. 1M => 10 days, 1B => 30 years, 1T => 38,000 years - 1-2 billion nodes on the Internet now - A trillion node network will dwarf today's Internet in scale and complexity - What will cause this, how will it be accomplished, and what will it mean?
- #3: - Software is Eating the World - "middle of a dramatic and broad technological and economic shift in which software companies are poised to take over large swathes of the economy." -MA - A microprocessor that costs $30 today will cost $0.03 in your life time -- Every thing will have an embedded processor -- Connectivity solves problems (GE Dishwasher) -- Everything will be connected -- You might laugh at the thought of your couch being on the Internet and wonder why. But 10 years ago, you would have thought the same thing about your bathroom scale.
- #4: - When computational devices are all around us and ubiquitous, we will find ourselves immersed in a sea of computation. - Moore's Law and glasses with microprocessors
- #7: Modern cars are a great example of ambient computing. There are dozens of microprocessors connected by networks. But we don’t notice them. The car is the most sophisticated computer network most people own, but the interface is old and familiar.
- #8: Moores law will propel connected microprocessors into every thing. Literally.
- #9: There are literally trillions of things that will be connected to each other in vast networks that dwarf what we have today. Person, place, organization, thing Computational avatars. Potholes…
- #10: - Connections to things you own - Connections to things you don't - Connections to the people around you - permanent - temporary (CS462) - transitory - Devices will be like Bic pens. Everywhere and the one we pick up will be ours until we set it down
- #11: - Not like the current Web - It will be just like the Internet, which is to say that it will NOT be like the Web. - Not like mobile - Not like a place We need a BRAND NEW application model that more closely resembles the Internet
- #12: and imagine one representing the trillion node network. Try to envision the difference in scale. Now, imagine you want to get from the top of one mountain--where we’re at now--to the other.
- #13: You can’t do it by merely changing a few things, building scaffolding between the mountains in the analogy
- #14: You have to scale the new mountain.
- #16: Each connected product expects me to sign up for their service and download their iPhone app. This won’t scale...
- #17: This is what it looks like from the manufacturer’s perspective
- #18: Sometimes we call this a “personal cloud”
- #20: Every thing, manufactured or not, conceptual, geospacial, and so on can be in My #IoT Potholes!
- #21: A very decentralized personal data store. A personal cloud Our vision of a PDS is a model of the world that a person cares about.
- #22: 1. Apps 2. Gizmo 3. Personal Cloud
- #23: Relationships might be existing or potential, mention VRM? Personal Clouds Fuse helps car signal intention, a very powerful signal… Not exclusivity … plugging into a vast network Fuse Features Maintenance history Service reminders Manufacturer recommendations Recalls and warranty Service certification (3rd party)
- #24: Picos are personal data stores with a lightweight virtual computer attached. They can be used to give *everything* an online avatar. They are cheap. Decentralized data.
- #25: Form the basis for personal clouds
- #26: Substitutability is a key concept if we want freedom from silos.
- #31: Unhosted web applications More modularity, less coupling Apps based on HTML5, CSS, JavaScript. Model also works for hosted apps and mobile.
- #37: - positive: - the world and everything in it will become programmable and malleable - computing will move out of devices and become ambient. - we will live in an ecology of computation - computing experiences will be more natural and personal - negative: - what will *reality* mean? - books as an example of the disappearance of physical devices - decentralized networks can be non-deterministic
- #38: Mention Neckpain
- #39: - Will it be a utopia? dystopia? - Somewhere in the middle http://dylanglynn.blogspot.com/2010/07/utopia-dystopia.html
- #40: Build the world you want to live in
- #42: I’ve written a book, The Live Web, that describes the fundamental technology--event-based interactions--that make the CloudOS and personal clouds possible.
- #43: There are several white papers on my blog that give more information about what we’re doing.
- #44: We’ve got pretty good documentation about how to build event-based applications. The underlying system has had an open developer program for several years. We’re just about ready for alpha developers to build applications on the CloudOS itself: target Dec 2012.
