IBM launches software to spur sensor management, 'Internet of things'
IBM on Monday will roll out a software development kit for an application dubbed Mote Runner with the aim of spurring the adoption of sensors in various devices, products and systems. The real goal is to enable the so-called Internet of things by making sensor networks easier to deploy and manage.
Mote Runner is a free download. IBM will make the announcement at the 2010 Sensors Expo & Conference. The Mote Runner moniker refers to Mote’s—or wireless sensor nodes—that gather information ranging from temperature, movement and light and refer back to a network.
Meanwhile, MEMSIC, which makes these micro sensor systems, will include Mote Runner on one of its IRIS sensor. The MEMSIC IRIS is a 2.4 GHz wireless sensor mote (right) used for enabling low-power wireless sensor networks in buildings or traffic patterns at an intersection.
