So hopefully Alex’s “extension” will give us an easier time at doing the rest of this project and allow us to really focus on delving into the IOT instead of focusing in on requirements.
However, even with the extra time we really need to get cracking and avoid a last minute rush. So as we briefly discussed in our “meeting”(extremely loose terms: sorry I was distracted) we should define what are our signals.
To get these signals we discussed reading over the report (everyone should have it) and also the other teams’ reports too. This will allow us to get an idea of the trends that we all researched. Next we felt that the best way to extract these signals was to look at the trends and then extrapolate the signal within. This is our homework for the weekend. List as many signals as possible so that we can re group them and begin to see a picture of our next report.
My last point is that we should maybe stop using the term IOT/ Internet because this may be a bias and somewhat confusing term. Just a thought but maybe something like Object Hyper linking or interconnected objects (too avoid confusion)
And finally Just to clarify this is the definition of a weak signal from the Glossary:
Weak Signal
A half-hidden idea or trend that will affect how we do business, what business we do, and the environment in which we will work; a new and surprising signal from the receiver's vantage point; sometimes difficult to track down amid other noise and signals; a threat or opportunity to your organization. In general, any information that is difficult to detect or distinguish because of the noise in the system. There are three varieties of weak signals.
1. Any difficult to detect signal, which indicates a disruption in the normal operations (homeostasis) of a system.
2. Any difficult to detect signal which indicates a linear trend in the development of some idea or system.
3. A non-linear, hard to predict trend that has yet to reach mainstream recognition.
And as an example Alex mentioned the example of P2P
Trend = P2P
Signal = People willing to play music on computer
So BLOG away!!!! Once you have come across a signal let us know and we can help each other!!! Yeah happiness!
Sorry for rambling but…. Check out the link on the right for 7.5 Floor a great blog on IOT and the podcast “killer innovations” This is especially helpful for this stage!!!
