About me

Started rst venture (Audax) at 16

Telecom Engineering background (BSc, MSc)Alta Scuola Politecnica extra degree

PhD in Electronics Engineering

Research: developed from scratch a newclass of optical ber sensors at 20-35%cost



3/25

About me

Fulbright experience in the Silicon Valley(Certicate in Technology Entrepreneurship)

Endeavour scholarship for research projectbased in Sydney

Sold optical ber sensors technology to an

established company through a M&A/spin-off agreement

Reached exit and ready for the new challenge

What now?I have gained a valuable vision about sensors in our future life

I have realized that sensor technologies are established andbecoming more invasive for controlling everyday life.

Sensors turn into spimes (sensors + GPS/time + network + memory)

Sensor technologists develop sensor networks that track specicparameters, but nobody really knows how to handle these data. Forsure, not how to handle them altogether and efciently .

Spimes are not just rough data, they are information - and theycan build themselves information and relat

ionships.

Spimes sync data to their cloud, not the cloud.

Future developments in mobile devices, microprocessors and wirelesswill enable each unit, even small and simple, to be active and notjust passive -> following other spimes and managing events.

The missing cloud

Spimes

Each sensornetwork is linkedto its cloud

With this uppercloud, anyone can

access sensorinformation

Other clouds canmake use of this

information

Types of sensors

Many devices, many host, many types of dataMonday, July 12, 2010


12/25

GoalPain: we need a sensor atmosphere, which raisesover the single cloud and connects internet of things spimes/clouds

Information, even anonymous, from one sensor has signicant value outside its cloud

Value proposition: build the abstract layer thatreads updates from all sensors, all types of data,all hosts and shares them with the outside(search) and with the inside (follow) - as Twitter



13/25

The project tasks

Build the upper cloud

Create a metadata

Dene input Dene output

Build search Build follow

Develop tagsMonday, July 12, 2010

How it looks like

Looks like Twitter + TwitSearch, but needs towork on sensors

Issues

Protocols: design through protocols that willbe then reused by developers

Privacy: how can sensors remain anonymousand hidden to users?

Separating users and sensors as much aspossible

Log-in/initialization: how?

Supporting innovation

(1) Meshing networks

Xbee enablesinternet of things

networking cheaply

Wi- opens

internetconnectionsand longer

links

Integration of smallsensor modules

modulesNetsukuku project:internet as a whole

mesh network?

Smartphone andportable devices

increase closeness

to networks

(2) Hardware design

B a

Why open source?Community: it reaches the whole community of developers from the start

It enables developers to start working straighton the upper level

Fast: it moves faster than proprietary software,giving up dead ends quickly

Flexibility: software goes dynamic

Business model: open source does not mean no

Why open source?

A p p l i c a t i o n

Technology / type of sensor data

Application-driven design

DeveloperOpen source takes the whole matrix



22/25

Competitive scenarioPatchube - UK startup providing sensorstore and datastream platform

Funambol Teleport - Mobile open sourcecloud sync. Platform for syncing customdata on the Funambol cloud

Widetag - Developer of spimes, spimesinterfaces and tag-cloud interaction

WikiCity - MIT experiment for Urbansensorization



23/25

Beachheads

Start from existing spimes:

Smartphones (spimes, apps marketplace,urban interaction, Twitter)

Smart intrusion/burglar alarms (immediatecreation of value)

Mobile + proled + localized advertising

Telemedicine



24/25

My plansI have spotted the opportunity of the nextbig thing (but is it?)

Relocate to somewhere I can learn fast, setup a team and go for this project

Raise funds and bootstrap

Iterate on the project

Have fun building cool projects

Deadlines in Aug/Sept for some funds



25/25

Thanks for your help
