  • A Case Study on Nest's “Smart Home Energy” Business Model: Based on Strategic Choices for Connected Product
    A CASE STUDY ON NEST’S “SMART HOME ENERGY” BUSINESS MODEL: BASED ON STRATEGIC CHOICES FOR CONNECTED PRODUCT SONG, MINZHEONG Hansei University E-mail: [email protected] Abstract - The purpose of this study is to investigate Nest’s business strategy, because simple Nest products have a big potential of connected one and have synergy with Google’s current assets such as artificial intelligence. It makes sense to be developing them together. The key activities based on strategic choices for monetizing connected product are investigated. Nest’s capacity and functionality is to offer a seamless integration of devices, platforms, and services and the “Works with Nest” offers an ecosystem fulfilling the needs of different partners. For utilizing and monetizing customer data, Nest also provides a seamless end-to-end customer experience supported by product incentives. Nest also introduces open APIs to connect its smart devices to the wider IoT and open to “If This, Then That.” With those activities Nest builds Nest homeincluding energy. In terms of smart home energy (SHE), all Nest products were designed to work together and if there is a carbon monoxide leak, the Nest Protect can send a command to the Nest Thermostat to turn off the heat. The Nest app also controls them from one single place. Thanks to the support of numerous partners and third-party developers, Nest has partnered with 32 energy providers as of 2017. These partners provide energy from renewable and non-renewable energy sources. Nest emphasizes how the consumer can benefit from sharing data with their energy and insurance provider.

  • 1-The Age of the Data Product
    M.Sc.IT Sem II Unit-IV Big Data and Analytics 1-The Age of the Data Product 1.1-What Is a Data Product? The traditional answer to this question is usually “any application that combines data and algorithms.” But frankly, if you’re writing software and you’re not combining data with algorithms, then what are you doing? After all, data is the currency of programming! More specifically, we might say that a data product is the combination of data with statistical algorithms that are used for inference or prediction. Many data scientists are also statisticians, and statistical methodologies are central to data science. Armed with this definition, you could cite Amazon recommendations as an example of a data product. Amazon examines items you’ve purchased, and based on similar purchase behavior of other users, makes recommendations. In this case, order history data is combined with recommendation algorithms to make predictions about what you might purchase in the future. You might also cite Facebook’s “People You May Know” feature because this product “shows you people based on mutual friends, work and education information ... [and] many other factors”—essentially using the combination of social network data with graph algorithms to infer members of communities. Indeed, defining data products as simply the combination of data with statistical algorithms seems to limit data products to single software instances (e.g., a web application), which hardly seems a revolutionary economic force. Although we might point to Google or others as large-scale economic forces, the combination of a web crawler gathering a massive HTML corpus with the PageRank algorithm alone does not create a data economy.

  • Aura: an Iot Based Cloud Infrastructure for Localized Mobile Computation Outsourcing
    Aura: An IoT based Cloud Infrastructure for Localized Mobile Computation Outsourcing Ragib Hasan, Md. Mahmud Hossain, and Rasib Khan ragib, mahmud, rasib @cis.uab.edu { } Department of Computer and Information Sciences University of Alabama at Birmingham, AL 35294, USA Abstract—Many applications require localized computation in near the client’s mobile phone so that all communications order to ensure better performance, security, and lower costs. In occur over one or two network hops from the client, and the recent years, the emergence of Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices data never has to traverse over the public Internet. On the has caused a paradigm shift in computing and communication. other hand, building cloud infrastructures is very expensive, IoT devices are making our physical environment and infrastruc- requiring hundreds of millions of dollars to set up and operate tures smarter, bringing pervasive computing to the mainstream. cloud data centers, making it impossible and economically With billions of such devices slated to be deployed in the next five years, we have the opportunity to utilize these devices in infeasible to have data centers located near clients. For such converting our physical environment into interactive, smart, and localized computing facilities, we need a lightweight system intelligent computing infrastructures. In this paper, we present for outsourced computation that can be incorporated into each Aura – a highly localized IoT based cloud computing model. Aura building or physical infrastructure, making it available at a close allows clients to create ad hoc clouds using the IoT and other distance from clients. To achieve this, in this paper, we present computing devices in the nearby physical environment, while Aura – a system for outsourced computation on lightweight ad providing the flexibility of cloud computing.

  • Big Data Insights Into Energy and Resource Usage in the Live-In Lab Apartments
    Big data insights into energy and resource usage in the Live-in Lab apartments Elisabeth Danielsson Amanda Koskinen Bachelor of Science Thesis KTH School of Industrial Engineering and Management Energy Technology EGI-2016 SE-100 44 STOCKHOLM Abstract This report aims to find ways of getting insights into energy and resource usage in a home with big data, based on the project Live-in Lab. Live-in Lab is a project that aims to increase the innovation pace in the building and construction sector when developing environmental technology. This is done by conducting implementation and research at the same time in a living lab that will be the home of about 300 students. The main objectives of this report is to find out what is possible to measure in the apartments that is related to energy, with what technologies and how the data can be analyzed to generate maximal insight and utility. The methodology used originates from the field of product realization. A literature study was carried out to learn more about energy usage in a home, big data and state of the art of similar projects as well as available technologies that can be used to collect data with. The technologies were in- vestigated in four different levels; Social data and IoT, Infrastructure mediated systems, Direct environment components and Wearable devices. The result comprises eleven purposed solutions that get insights in pat- terns of water consumption, ventilation, light, movements inside and outside the apartment, consumption patterns among others. To be able to get max- imal insights and utility it was studied how the purposed solutions could be combined.

  • CDP Climate Change Response 2021
    CDP Climate Change Response 2021 Published July 2021 Alphabet, Inc. - Climate Change 2021 C0. Introduction C0.1 (C0.1) Give a general description and introduction to your organization. This is our 15th consecutive year responding to the CDP Climate Change questionnaire. We began calculating our annual carbon footprint in 2006. Every year since 2009, we’ve publicly reported the results to CDP. As our founders Larry and Sergey wrote in the original founders' letter, "Google is not a conventional company. We do not intend to become one." That unconventional spirit has been a driving force throughout our history, inspiring us to tackle big problems, and invest in moonshots like artificial intelligence ("AI") research and quantum computing. Alphabet is a collection of businesses—the largest of which is Google—which we report as two segments: Google Services and Google Cloud. We report all non-Google businesses collectively as Other Bets. Our Other Bets include earlier stage technologies that are further afield from our core Google business. Our mission to organize the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful is as relevant today as it was when we were founded in 1998.

    WHITEPAPER Qt or HTML5? A Million Dollar Question Burkhard Stubert Chief Engineer, EmbeddedUse October 2, 2017 Burkhard Stubert is Solopreneur and Chief Engineer at Embedded Use with over 20 years of experience in software engineering. He has developed numerous embedded and desktop applications with Qt and QML. He was the first to give QML trainings back in early 2010, when QML was still far away from an alpha release. His latest major products include driver terminals for forage and sugar root harvesters, infotainment systems for US and European car OEMs, an in-flight entertainment system and a display computer for e-bikes. He offers independent professional services for developing embedded systems – preferably with a QML GUI and Qt/C++ middleware. Burkhard worked and lived in India, England and Norway and moved back to his native country, Germany, a couple of years ago. In his spare time, he enjoys hiking, biking and skiing through the Bavarian Alpes.
