TUCON (the TIBCO user group taking place in September) has announced some impressive speakers for 2011 that are users of CEP technology: as usual these will be great use cases…
From the latest TUCON brochure we have:
- Orange on “M2M: The Rise of Contextual Machines”
By 2020, it is expected that the number of connected machines – such as smart meters for utilities, automotive GPS intelligent trackers, healthcare sensors, or home appliances – will explode from a few million up to a billion.In this session, hear how Orange (one of the world’s leading telecommunications operators) is preparing for this revolution by providing businesses with real-time access to this deluge of data. As a result: providing enterprises with the opportunity to change the way they do business – and ultimately change our daily lives as consumers.By collecting and correlating data in real time, learn how businesses can deliver highly valuable information via the right mobile channel to their end users – while they are on the move – including how:- Consumers can obtain real-time information about their water, electricity, and gas usage, allowing them to optimize their consumption and effectively safeguard natural resources.
- Transportation companies and governmental agencies can track and trace containers in transit, ensuring the correct country sales taxes are being administered.
- Home owners can remotely interact with their domestic environment via home sensors to automate data-to-day actions (heating, air conditioning, lights) or take action on urgent events, such as a fire or burglary.
