Re: Don't fence me in....
Ariella,
Well, almost every term out there is better defined than "big data." But I foresee that, for example, constant real time performance monitoring, comprehensive consumer behavior databases, ad hoc functional coordination by smart devices, and information sharing between home appliances -- all of which are currently part of IoT -- will probably eventually hive off under their own banners. (Surely with catchier names than those, though). The question is whether anything will remain for IoT to be the name of.

@JohnBarnes I totally believe we'll start seeing industry specialization sooner rather than later.
This happens in other industries as well, where experts develop and end up charging thousands of dollars to companies per hour to come in and fix a very specific problem.

Re: IOT customers
As we look to the new year, it seems as if we have to try--right? As long as we make sure progress is at hand on a consistent basis--isn't that in the end why we are in business for? Here is another thing, though, that one has to consider--sometimes the "needs" are outweighed by the realities of whether in fact they are worth the effort. I note this because, for instance, if my local utilities would not have sponsored a smart meter, I would never have forked out $ 200 for the Smart donor for a dubious ROI.

Re: Don't fence me in....
I am assuming as I read your thoughts @afwriter that you're referring to the standards and at least some sort of an implicit agreement on a uniform way to refer to it all. I hope my interpretation is in fact correct.

Re: IOT customers
Interoperability is here--and things are becoming so seamless that it is quite powerful. There is still some further intuitive functionality that should be built in no doubt. But I would humbly suggest that we're already there as we look to the new year and seeing even more of a convergence than ever.

Re: Don't fence me in....
What the discourse between @JohnBarnes & @Ariella reminded me of was the old admonition from Socrates: ">.All I know is I know nothing..". What is clear is that what we seem to embrace today may not be true tomorrow--as such, transformation means, in effect, to be ready to change--remember "Digital", "..SGI", et. al ?

@mporaryan Yes, that is what I was trying to get at.

Re: Don't fence me in....
I hope that your dream will be realized for the sake of us all--as the proliferation of such standards does nothing but cause confusion and dismay amongst all.
Merry Christmas to all!!!

Mike Pouraryan,
Hey, if we ever find the actual right and bestest truth of all truthiness, they'll automate it and sell it in a box at Office Redbox (or more likely make it available as a subscription download), and it will replace all of us. (Including being able to explain why that's the best thing for everyone). All progress depends on most of us being willing to be wrong in the future ...

Re: IOT customers
MPouraryan,
I don't think we're quite there yet, but I have to admit I don't know of any specific standard-to-standard translation that doesn't already exist or remains an unsolved problem. Perhaps the most indicative thing of all is that when the last interoperability connection slides into place, there probably won't be any "golden spike" stories in the news about it; the only notice it will get is people asking "didn't that already happen a long time ago?"
Which is to say, whether we're there or not, we've reached a place where we might as well be.
