The Linux Foundation's Zephyr Project: A custom operating system for IoT devices

A problem with today's IoT market is that many vendors are launching their own systems, but connecting different devices together in a network can be difficult. However, if a single operating system can be agreed upon and adopted, this could widen consumer choice and extend the functionality of IoT devices as a whole.
The Linux Foundation has unveiled Zephyr, an open-source project aimed at the creation of a real-time operating system suitable for Internet of Things (IoT) and connected devices
Announced on Wednesday, the Zephyr Project hopes to bring vendors and developers together under a single operating system which could make the development of connected devices an easier, less expensive and more stable process.
Early supporters of the project include Intel, NXP Semiconductors, Synopsys and UbiquiOS Technology, but Zephyr's operators hope to lure more IoT players to the fold.
The Zephyr Project, overseen by the non-profit Linux Foundation, could become an important step in creating an established ecosystem in which vendors subscribe to the same basic communication protocols and security settings. For complete and original story see here

Role of Voice in IoT Applications

peech is a singularly efficient way for humans to express ideas and desires. It is therefore unsurprising that we have always wanted to extend this expeditious communications mechanism with and command machines by voice.
As IoT applications proliferate they present new and innovative ways to collaborate, communicate and interact, both from a human and machine perspective. While most of the focus in the IoT has been on data, the integration of voice into IoT applications offers a versatile method to provide human interaction; communication and control.  And with proper implementation and consideration for relevance, costs and human factors, voice can provide a more flexible user experience in a more economical way than traditional methods such as touch screens or data input.
The growth in service providers implementing IMS, which enables voice over LTE (VoLTE), and the rapid roll out of LTE services in many markets, in addition to existing private VoIP/SIP networks, represents a new and exciting opportunity to cost effectively integrate voice into different IoT applications. Naturally, not all IoT applications will merit voice integration, but our whitepaper, "The Role of Voice in IoT Applications", outlines and showcases the multitude of applications that would benefit.

This is Why People Fear the ‘Internet of Things

Imagine buying an internet-enabled surveillance camera, network attached storage device, or home automation gizmo, only to find that it secretly and constantly phones home to a vast peer-to-peer (P2P) network run by the Chinese manufacturer of the hardware. Now imagine that the geek gear you bought doesn’t actually let you block this P2P communication without some serious networking expertise or hardware surgery that few users would attempt.
This is the nightmare “Internet of Things” (IoT) scenario for any system administrator: The IP cameras that you bought to secure your physical space suddenly turn into a vast cloud network designed to share your pictures and videos far and wide. The best part? It’s all plug-and-play, no configuration necessary. To understand this better and read original post see here
