Trends: Beyond Auto-ID
Identifying people and objects is not enough anymore, its about location awareness, environmental monitoring and safety
Technologies need to (and will) converge
Approaches to connect physical world observations to the information enterprise:
need to bring up all observation data (location, identity, enviroment, user input..) to one middleware component
Requires one middleware platform supporting various communication protocols requires flexible data-processing services
sensor networks can exchange data (peer-to-peer) and become smarter before communicating back to enterprise system
requires standard networking protocols, standardized communication protocol format
requires business logic to move to the ‘Point of Action’

Hans Mulder, Associate Director, Intel Research
One of the interests for Intel is getting an end-to-end solution using Intel silicon. We are working with SAP for integrating with their NetWeaver
software. We are also working with Rockwell [Automation’] manufacturing software and Honeywell’s building software. You need a software layer to
get much better fidelity data – both spatial and temporal – and a better price. The volumes of data will require that you do a certain amount of processing on the sensor node. SAP has a vision of end-to-end control, and we’re researching how to get a solution based on SAP software that has a
view of sensor nets, so your business rules can receive triggers from the sensor nodes that warn of impending defects, or change the
operation of your sensor nets, or let you query the them. A lot of added value is going to be in the software.

• System MonitorDeliver status of system landscape
• Service MapperMap service requirements to current status of system landscape. Where should which service be deployed?
• Service InjectorInject services into a subset of wireless nodes according to mapper‘s decision
• Start the service

Sensor Networks become extension of the enterprise system
Technology convergence (RFID, GPS, Sensor nets,..) is already happening
Low-cost computing, ubiquitous networking and ongoing device miniaturization are leading to increased real world awareness, bringing fundamental changes to business environments
A multi-billion dollar industry is moving from isolated environments into a fully-networked world
Real World Awareness needs to be based on ESA
