IoTivity: The Open Connectivity Foundation and the IoT Challenge
IoTivity: The Open Connectivity Foundation and the IoT Challenge – Thiago Macieira, Intel
The IoTivity Project and the Open Connectivity Foundation (née Open Interconnect Consortium) are now around 2 years old. Both aim at providing the best-in-class solution for communication between devices in local networks, as well as between such devices and the cloud, with security and privacy concerns front and centre. This session will explain how IoTivity and the OCF are related to one another and how they are trying to solve the IoT challenge. It will also go over some of the past successes and failures of IoTivity and talk about the future plans, where the open source project is going, what’s coming and how it’s trying to make sure the Internet of Things doesn’t become Islands of Things.
