Download or read book Thingalytics written by Dr. John Bates and published by XinXii. This book was released on 2015-09-18 with total page 175 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Internet of Things is changing the world. Thingalytics by Dr. John Bates is the most powerful book written to date about the Internet of Things (IoT), showing businesses how to take advantage of the fast Big Data that flows across the digital planet. Pulling from exciting examples of real-life innovation and invention, John makes IoT come alive. From digitally enriching exotic shops in Istanbul, Turkey, to crossing the USA on a sensor-enabled Greyhound Bus to finding new ways to mend people in hospital smart operating rooms, Thingalytics depicts how IoT can make our lives happier, easier, more productive and even safer. Thingalytics, a composite of “Things” and “Analytics,” shows businesses how to use real-time analytics and algorithms in order to seize the opportunities that flow from IoT, while simultaneously spotting and navigating around threats. As each real world object – from people to refrigerators, to tractors and ships or cans of fizzy pop - is digitized and connected to the Internet, it presents a unique opportunity for innovative businesses to learn from, and take advantage of, the digital vibrations it creates. Illustrated by case studies from global, visionary organizations such as Coca Cola, Greyhound Bus and Medtronic, Thingalytics highlights how the alchemy of real-time analytics and smart algorithms can help turn fast Big Data into actionable gold nuggets for any business, anywhere. Digital disruption to traditional “bricks-and-mortar” businesses is happening now. Organizations must transform themselves using digital technologies. Time does not stand still in this brave, new digital world. “Digital Darwinism is unkind to those who wait,” says R “Ray” Wang, a leading industry analyst who has written the Foreword to Thingalytics. John Bates personally interviewed each of the people in this book. His deep knowledge of their vision, their businesses and their goals gives him the insight and the gravitas to explain how each organization is conquering the digital world. Winners in the IoT race will not only profit but could – just possibly – avert disaster. Thingalytics becomes very exciting when we see how lives can be saved, fraud avoided, customers delighted and carbon emissions reduced.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book presents the state of the art of the Internet of Things (IoT), applied to Human-Centered Design (HCD) projects addressed to ageing users, from the perspective of health, care and well-being. The current focus on the ageing population is opening up new opportunities for the development of niche solutions aimed at the niche category of older users who are beginning to experience physical and cognitive decline but are still independent and need to maintain their autonomy for as long as possible. The combination between the needs expressed by older users and the opportunities offered by the recent innovative technologies related to the Internet of Things allows research institutions, stakeholders, and academia to target and design new solutions for older users, safeguarding their well-being, health, and care, improving their quality of life. This book discusses and analyses the most recent services, products, systems and environments specifically conceived for older users, in order to enhance health, care, well-being and improve their quality of life. This approach is coherent with the percept of AAL or enhanced living environment, looking to the users’ comfort, autonomy, engagement and healthcare. The book describes and analyses aspects of HCD with older users looking to the emerging technologies, products, services, and environments analysed in their actual application in different areas, always concerning the design for the elderly related to the IoT, just as the development of biomonitoring devices, tools for activity recognition and simulation, creation of smart living environments, solutions for their autonomy, assistance and engagement enhancing health, care and wellbeing. The book is intended for researchers, designers, engineers, and practitioners in healthcare to connect academia, stakeholders, and research institutions to foster education, research and innovation.

Download or read book Our Living Ancestors written by John Bates and published by . This book was released on 2018-03-07 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Old-growth forests touch the soul of many people. Some hear the echoes of Native Americans or the first settlers. Some feel the great age of the trees and revere them, while others feel they are in the presence of an overwhelmingly rare beauty. Still others understand the profound scientific value of old-growth forests as reference systems for what forests can be. Despite the remarkable emotional appeal and scientific value of old-growth forests, they are rare in Wisconsin. Only 0.3% of Wisconsin¿s old-growth forests remain, but these scattered, small parcels still retain their ability to amaze hikers with their size, beauty, and elegance. Where are they? This book directs visitors to the 50 best old-growth sites left in Wisconsin. Each site has clear directions, a listing of ownership, size, and age, and a description of its ecological features, with perhaps a story of why it was saved. A map and photo(s) illustrates each site. An additional shorter chapter includes the ¿50 Best-of-the-Rest.¿The book is for a general audience, but its wealth of rigorously-researched and profusely-illustrated data may also serve as a general reference for professional ecologists and conservationists.

Download or read book Reality Mining written by Nathan Eagle and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2014-08 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, the authors explore the positive potential of big data, showing the ways in which the analysis of big data ("reality mining") can be used to improve human systems as varied as political polling and disease tracking, while considering user privacy. They describe reality mining at five different levels: the individual, the neighborhood and organization, the city, the nation, and the world. For each level, they offer a nontechnical explanation of data collection methods and describe applications and systems that have been or could be built. These include a mobile app that helps smokers quit smoking; a workplace "knowledge system"; the use of GPS, Wi-Fi, and mobile phone data to manage and predict traffic flows; and the analysis of social media to track the spread of disease. The authors argue that big data, used respectfully and responsibly, can help people live better, healthier, and happier lives. --
