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

[Kevin Cox < >]

In our Open Source Welcomer Framework we have used the ideas from CloudOS and create connection things that are 

A connection thing is a connection between two entities along the data shared between the two entities.  Each entity can access the shared data independently of the other entity.  Each entity can connect to any other connection thing it has with any other entity with which it shares other data. 

An entity can only share data with other entities if the original sharing entity has agreed it can share all or part of the shared data. The rules of sharing could be passed through with XDI to integrate with other connection things but a simpler idea in the Welcomer and compatible Frameworks is to always access shared data from the original connection using the original rules.

The Framework does not yet have all the above but we are working iteratively towards it as we build connecting things that wish to share across applications.

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.
