Francis daCosta Rethinks The Internet Of Things

Francis daCosta, Intel, and Apress Media have published a definitive analysis of the current and future state of IoT in a book titled, “Rethinking the Internet of Things: A Scalable Approach to Connecting Everything”.

From the preface

“I didn’t set out to develop a new architecture for the Internet of Things (IoT). Rather, I was thinking about the implications of control and scheduling within machine social networks in the context of Metcalfe’s Law. The coming tsunami of machine-to-machine interconnections could yield tremendous flows of information – and knowledge. Once we free the machine social network (comprised of sensors and an unimaginable number of other devices) from the drag of human interaction, there is tremendous potential for creating autonomous communities of machines that require only occasional interaction with, or reporting to, humans.”
