Next Challenges g 1. Free Communication services: Amazon’s 1. Free Communication services: Amazon s “Free 3G” made Kindle easy to use. 2. Free monitoring services: data collected by 2 F i i i d ll d b sensor networks can be shared on cloud services. 3 Free apps services: business model to make 3. Free apps services: business model to make data collection and apps. Almost all users are not interested in techs but interested in t i t t d i t h b t i t t d i profit by using apps .
Conclusions 1. Open-FS was developed by using open source hardware/software and a mother board. board. 2. Amazon’s “Free 3G” shows a future application combining sensor networks and li ti bi i t k d cloud services. 3. A concept of “Ambient Sensor Cloud” was proposed -- Apps using sensor-network data proposed. -- Apps using sensor-network data at any points should be available on cloud for free.
