Vision: A controllable, informed World
 Everything is equipped with
Sensors and Controllers
 Hubs collect the data of sensors
 Hubs publish their data into the
cloud
 Apps evaluate data and perform
controlling actions using to models,
algorithms and settings
 Mobile devices equipped with
sensors publish data into the cloud
 Mobile Apps access and evaluate
data, publish results back into the
cloud, thus interacting with the
environment
