Emerging Technology and Best Practices Seminar Series

Panel Discussion: Wrapping-up on What's Real and What Lies Ahead - Three Industry Views

(1) Ten years ago the concept of a sensor network was fantastic but not yet realizable. Today it is. What is viable in the marketplace? What was fantasy and why? What is the new vision for 10 years from today?

(2) What SN solutions are available now that can achieve
business objectives (i.e. + customer service, cost reduction,
increase profit)?

(3) What will enable SN technology to cross the chasm, i.e. what
are the inhibitors to making the market take off?

(4) What are the 'real' opportunities, "what lies ahead", 3-5
years out, and how will they effect everyday life?
