Keynote: Connecting the Dots on All Things Great and Small - Philip DesAutels, Sr. Director of IoT, The Linux Foundation

The complexity of architectures across all domains of the Internet of Things has grown with the increasing richness of the underlying connected products and services. The basic models of device and cloud have given way to new models that integrate device, edge, network, and cloud. Various open source projects have formed to fill the gaps in the story and as a result, we are starting to see the emergence of a cohesive system of interconnected open source components needed for this to happen. In this session, Kate and Philip will take you through the Linux Foundation's open IoT strategy to help you understand how it all fits together.
