The document discusses a project that involves creating a SaaS platform for integrating and accessing sensor data from various devices using Ruby and EEML for environmental data representation. It covers technical specifications, hardware requirements, and code snippets for interfacing with sensors and actuators, alongside considerations for GPS integration and modular hardware components. The overarching goal is to facilitate ubiquitous computing and the Internet of Things by making sensor data publicly available through standardized APIs.

1. Hackin' Devices with Ruby A Sensors to API to Feeds to Apps “Show and Tell” Kit Plummer dozer software

2. Ubiquitous Computing Pervasive Computing Everything has a processor

3. Everything is connected Ambient Intelligence Sensitive to people

4. Context aware

5. Passive Embedded

6. Devices -> Producers/Consumers Internet of Things

7. Producers Push To Where? Consumers Pull From Where? Consumers get pushed to is probably more right

8. Devices -> Sensors/Actuators Sensors Push

9. Actuators Pull? In a Web world, Yes.

10. In a Web world, No.

11. Full-duplex is possible Chat protocols (XMPP)

12. Webhooks

13. Devices ARE servers

14. What if... There was a SaaS that could receive data updates and make them available to the public through a standardize API, producing XML, JSON, or graphic visualizations (or PLI)

15. There was a SaaS that could provide a standard interface to publicly available sensors and actuators (from all over the world), via a standardized format and open API
