Embedded systems are becoming interconnected and accessible via the internet. Gartner Group estimates there will be nearly 26 billion devices that make up the Internet of Things by 2020. This results in a massive variety of connected devices with varying security, reliability, and authentication requirements. Cost sensitivity also figures into the equation. This mix of requirements and costs require IoT developers to identify sensor, processor, and software solutions that address the requirements and hit required price points. Join us as IoT solution experts discuss sensors, connectivity, processors, platforms, and software for IoT applications and overview applications of IoT in various markets.

• What?
– Middleware is a layer
between application and
network stack
– It presents a more powerful
API to the application
– It handles connections,
failures, changes
• Why?
– Simpler conceptual model
– Easier programming
– Seamless interoperability
– Control communications

Legacy Capability:
• 500K lines of code
• 8 yrs to develop
• 21 servers
• Achieved: 20K tracked
updates/sec, reliability
and uptime challenges
Next-Gen Capability:
• 50K lines of code—order
of magnitude less
• 1 yr to develop—8x less
• 1 laptop—20x less
• Achieved: 250K+ tracked
updates/sec, no single
point of failure
