5. New thinking is required to
prepare for the embedded
future
Monday, December 19, 2011
6. A new set of tools are needed to utilize the multi-core CPUs
that have already arrived while covering the entire chain from
sensor to backend systems.
Distributed programming, security, traffic budgets,
configuration management and fault tolerant software
versioning are no longer optional.

15. 1. Exosense covers the entire chain from sensor to backend server as a single system
2. Enables seamless integration with customer supplied backend system for detailed
control
3. Handles configuration data pushing and software distribution out of the box
4. Allows ad-hoc code to be distributed and executed for fault searching and deep analysis
Monday, December 19, 2011
17. Focus on what matters:
applications
Monday, December 19, 2011
18. 1. Exosense collects all supported devices in a hardware abstraction layer
2. An application developer only needs to worry about one coherent messaging API
3. Erlang enables rapid prototyping and deployment
4. Blank devices can be deployed in the field and flashed over the air
5. Software can be developed independently from hardware
