Description:

Applications in the Internet of Things are much more than a user interface on the web or on a mobile device. "Apps" can take the form of a UI that gives a user a new experience on a smart, connected product. It could also take the form of a prediction from an analytic model derived through machine learning, or integration of a data feed from a connected operation into another business system.

The core of an IoT App begins with establishing a model of the Thing and its world, both physical and digital, that it fits in. This model enables APIs, UIs, partner integrations, enterprise integrations, and analytics to click into a common framework for rapid delivery and evolving a solution, even in the face of changing underlying technology.

To gain a deeper understanding, join an interactive discussion with Joe Biron, VP of IoT Platform Strategy at ThingWorx, and moderator Jon Bruner, Director of Hardware & IoT at O'Reilly, as they describe:

• The right considerations for IoT application modeling
• How analytics predictions fit into the context of your Thing model
• How establishing your Thing model gives your existing and future apps superpowers!
