Re: [projectvrm] IBM's ADEPT Project: Rebooting the Internet of Things

[Doc Searls < >]

Thanks, Phil. Great piece.  The line that follows your opening one is,

ADEPT is based onTelehash for peer-to-peer messaging, BitTorrent for decentralized file sharing, and the blockchain (via Ethereum) for smart contracts (this video from Primavera De Filippi on Ethereum is a good discussion of that concept).

Telehash is the brainbaby of Jeremie Miller, an old friend, father also of Jabber/XMPP, and I believe is on this list. Primavera is a Berkman colleague who may also be on this list. I’m cc’ing both of them to pull them in the conversational loop.

In my discussions with folks everywhere, IoT (and the own cycle) come up more and more. I think it’s a huge domain for VRM. (Thought: Internet of Owned Things.)

Let’s get the IBM folks in this conversation as well.

The ADEPT project was mentioned here before. I took some time to look it over in depth and wrote up my thoughts:

Summary

The Internet of Things, only a few years old, needs a reboot. So says Paul Brody of IBM. The IBM Adept project is a proof of concept for an open, decentralized Internet of Things.
