What is now widely known as IoT ("Internet of Things") was once known as M2M ("Machine to Machine"). Network and device evolution have greatly enhanced IoT capability. The program needs of some early adopters have not evolved at the same pace. For those customers, AT&T's 2G network still fills their needs. However, AT&T will soon sunset its 2G networks and would like to see customers migrate to a newer network on their own accord. I collaborated with the migration team to develop and maintain price levers designed to entice customers to migrate.

Healthcare Blockchain Summit, Washington DC Mar 21, 2017Edward Bukstel
There is much talk of how Blockchain will revolutionize healthcare. This hype must be tempered by the fact that healthcare already has a trust factor built-in, or patients would not take pills prescribed by doctors, or let providers stick needles in their bodies. It is often said that “Riches are in Niches,” and this is the case for blockchain and areas that are tangential to the direct care of the patient.As referenced in the 2015 ONC Interoperability Roadmap, Social Determinants of Health (SDoH) will need to be connected to the patients’ health status. Physicians currently monitor carboxyhemoglobin as an indicator of a patient’s level of smoking. As part of a smoking cessation program, a smart contract on the clinical Blockchain could identify normal blood carboxyhemoglobin (COhb) as reported by a clinical reference lab from the Laboratory Analyzer Blockchain and execute a request to increase an incentive benefit controlled by a “private / permissioned” USDA Clinical Blockchain. The clinical Blockchain will track the specific “chain of custody” from iStat Analyzer (Accriva, Radiometer, etc…) to the patient test results report, which triggers the smart contract with the USDA to distribute an incentive. Both the physician and the patient are notified of the disbursement. Similar use cases could be implemented for patients with diabetes, and obesity, helping people live healthy lives.

https://www.embitel.com/iot-insights/what-is-telematics
The internet of things (IoT) is a steadily growing billion-dollar market largely driven by companies undergoing digitization for greater efficiency and transparency, as well as by 5G and emerging applications like smart cities. Satellite’s inherent capabilities — such as its ability to reach remote areas, its ability to scale, to extend coverage for other providers — make it an essential part of a hybrid network needed to support an interoperable IoT system.
Today, vehicles are emerged with new technologies and deployed with numbers of software applications. Checking
reliability of these software applications is very challenging. The applications can be updated, diagnosed and tested remotely on
road which makes the job of vehicle user easy and convenient. For vehicle communication, Vehicular Ah-hoc Networks
(VANET) is used which is application of Ad-hoc Network. This paper gives brief overview about VANETS and cloud
computing and also discusses the wide research work going on this domain.
Sensors gather minute bits of data that are valuable when aggregated and processed to extract intelligence. A whole new generation of business solutions are emerging from the data gathered from M2M.
Mobile applications are software applications
which are designed to run on mobile smart phones, &

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Internet of Things (IoT) and Fleet Management System (FMS)
1. Internet of Things (IoT) and Fleet Management System (FMS)
Author:
Abhijeet Uttamrao Banode
Fleet Management System (FMS) is one of the essential parts of businesses which directly or
indirectly deal with automobiles. Precise fleet management minimizes various operational risks and
increases cost efficiency. With proper utilization of analytics, alerts, and diagnostics, fleet
management coverts businesses to be more reliable and sustainable. Like any other business,
predicting risks and working towards mitigation is essential for businesses. Ample use of data
analytics for early detection of faults and predictive mechanism helps business to reduce
maintenance cost and downtime.
Typical modular fleet management unit consist of OBD-II (On-Board Diagnostics – Standard revision
– II) module which connects to Controller Area Network (CAN) bus. Microcontroller, sensors, and
various devices from vehicles use this bus (communication channel) to communicate with each
other. OBD-II module captures diagnostic information from the CAN example, data engine control
unit, and transmission.
Figure 1: Typical architecture of Fleet Management System (FMS)
2. Internet of Things (IoT) and Fleet Management System (FMS)
GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) receiver unit like GPS, GLONASS, assist to capture
geographic coordinates. Synchronous capture of GNSS data and diagnostic data can help to
immediately identify exact location of a vehicle breakdown or other events. Mapping it against
reference data from the department of transportation can be utilized to analyse driver behaviour
and their adherence to traffic regulations.
Every business has its unique requirement and objective behind Fleet Management System.
Organizations need to upgrade FM module based their particular use case. Trailer transporting food
needs additional sensors to monitor temperature of on-vehicle refrigerators whereas a trailer
carrying hazardous liquids has its own sensor requirements.
Cellular module is essential for real-time monitoring of a vehicle’s essential parameters, theft
detection, driver safety, and to report breakdown. This data needs to be sent to cloud (physical
storage) so that fleet operators can analyse parameters in real-time, perform predictive analysis, and
identify mitigation requirements for smooth operation of fleet.
Effective use of data analytics and visualization tools – dashboards is the brain of intelligent fleet
management system. Visualization parameters varies with respect to business needs but a few basic
conclusions like driver behaviour, fuel efficiency, fleet health, maintenance requirements and
breakdown will be always there on dashboards.
Figure 2: Benefits of effective fleet management
The cost of E2E fleet management system has been reduced due to efficient analytics platform
based on quality open source solutions (e.g. MongoDB, Hadoop), reduction in cost of electronic
assemblies (chipset cost, antenna cost), economical cellular data connectivity (eUICC, dedicated data
plans for M2M, IoT), reduction and flexibility in cloud storage cost due to competition, and most
importantly cross domain interest of companies from various vertical (e.g. Cellular operators),
