The IoT project is exploring the platform and technologies needed to support the evolution of the internet from one that is focused mainly on connecting computers to one that connects everything.
Growing out of our work on Pervasive computing (2004-6) PlaceMedia and Ubiquitous computing (2005-8) UCM the IoT project extends our lightweight pub/sub event platform (2007-9) MAGIC Broker 1 with support for a variety of real world devices or ‘things’.
The latest version of the IoT platform, referred to as MAGIC Broker 2 or MB2 is based on the OSGi platform and used in a number of internal and external projects, these include:
- Public Screens & Personal Interaction (PSPI)
- Community Displays
- Participative Sensing And Sustainability
- Traffic Sense Application for smart phones leveraging built in sensors to infer user’s transportation mode and aggregate traffic information.
- IoT Sensor Portal and Mashup engine
- Zigbee Sensor Gateway
- Sensors for the IoT
- UbiHealth project – Ubiquitous Computing for Neurological Patients Care
- Sensor Adapter DR NEP Sensor Adapter for the DR-NEP project.
The ThingBroker effort is next major revision to MB2.
