Demo Abstract: SicsthSense - Dispersing the Cloud

Other conference contribution, 2014

This demo presents SicsthSense, our open cloud platform for the Internet of Things. SicsthSense enables low power devices such as sensor nodes and smartphones to easily store their generated data streams in the cloud. This allows the data streams, and their history, to be made permanently available to users for visualisation, processing and sharing. Moving sensor data computation and monitoring into the cloud is a promising avenue to enable centralisation of control and redistribution of collected data. We showcase SicsthSense running with real sensor nodes collecting environmental data and posting it to our datastore. This live data is then visualised and made available for sharing between users of the platform. Our Android App will also be distributed to enable participants to stream their phone sensors into the system, demonstrating how simple it can be to start machine-to-machine interactions with SicsthSense.
