Innovation in Internet of Things (IoT) requires more than just creation of technology and use of cloud computing or big data platforms. It requires accelerated commercialization or aptly called go-to-market processes. To successfully accelerate, companies need a new type of product development, the so-called validated learning process. Furthermore, the development of the IoT paradigm has advanced the research on Machine to Machine (M2M) communications and has enabled novel acceleration platforms. However, there is a need for converging currently decentralized cloud systems, general software for processing big data and IoT systems. The paper describes a cloud platform that will bring together several services and instruments that the companies usually rely on in their go-to-market process. The main contribution of this paper consists in the integration of several services in the platform. The proposed platform will allow companies to bring their products to market faster and in a more successful manner, will be accessed via the Internet and will host the tools and virtual environments needed for the go-to-market accelerated process. Finally, is presented the acceleration results of a Cloud IoT architecture for processing big data from M2M telemetry. [For the complete proceedings, see ED562095.]

1Boy Crusoe

By Allan Eric

Also published as" A Yankee Crusoe" . A 15 year old hard working and studious farm boy finds the lure of adventure on the seas as a merchant seaman more than he can resist. This is his story. " I was born in a little town in the State of Maine, near the close of the Civil War. My boyhood life did not differ materially from that of the average farmer's son in the remote country districts of New England--except, perhaps, that I read more and thought more. Hard work on the rugged soil, two terms each year in the little yellow country schoolhouse, a day's fishing now and then filled the early years of my life full to over-flowing. " What he gets is enough excitement and adventure to overflow his wildest dreams. How he experiences disaster and uses his wits and knowledge to overcome every problem makes for a great read. - Summary by Phil Chenevert
