IoT evolution — By crossing application domains

Summary form only given. Information technology is the key technology that drives the technical convergence of formerly separated application domains. As the internet started in its early days with a data file transfer approach between geographically separated computers, today the internet already links a variety of devices from a broad application spectrum. While it´s interesting to discuss whether new content drives new applications or new applications generate new content, it´s obvious that formerly separated application domains will be integrated by services. So we experience a shift from contents to service. During his presentation Leopold will adopt a sensor solution supplier perspective towards this topic. While looking at the traditional MEMS sensor development for Automotive applications and the current boom of MEMS sensors in consumer electronics, Leopold will point towards the linking path of this previously well separated industry segments and the arising business opportunities for system and service integrators.
