ANANTAbd Research Fields

Imagine a future where everyday objects, assets, and machines are able to communicate with their environment, as well as among themselves. Described as the "Internet of Things," this scenario is not so distant a possibility as you might think. The information gap between the physical and virtual worlds is narrowing fast and research into developing the futuristic environments described above is actually quite advanced. ANANTABD Research's real-world awareness research field is playing a major role in the realization of the Internet of Things.
What Exactly is Real World Awareness?
In the past, physical assets have generally worked in isolation, with functions and services acting locally within limited physical environments. Today, the status quo is changing dramatically, fueled by the convergence of low-cost computing and the increased availability of ubiquitous networking (Internet, wireless communications), as well as by devices becoming smaller and handier to use. Thanks to these developments, physical assets are evolving into networks of interconnected, interactive systems. In the future, such embedded systems are expected to become even more pervasive than desktop computing.
Sensor networks and embedded systems promote increased levels of "collective intelligence," embracing a vision of environments in which intelligent objects work together toward common goals. Increased connectivity spawns real-time awareness. Simultaneously, the use and integration of sensor and mobile devices into business application scenarios increases the accuracy of data. Despite huge breakthroughs in usability, the revolution in networked embedded systems brings with it new challenges. These include interoperability, increased complexity, and vulnerability to attacks.
ANANTABD is already investing in the field of networked embedded systems and RFID-related technologies. ANANTABD Research understands the importance of real-time awareness in optimizing business process automation. ANANTABD Research focuses on new ideas, adding a business context to sensor events and real-world data.
