TechRepublic: Samsung Architecture for Multimodal Interactions -> IoT + JVM

Samsung Wants to Help IoT Speak a Common Language

TechRepublic: What does SAMI stand for? Is it an acronym or something?
Dubreuil: SAMI is an acronym for Samsung Architecture for Multimodal Interactions. It’s our shorthand for what we call a data-driven platform with simple open APIs and SDKs to send and receive diverse data. We’ve tried to make it dead simple for developers to execute REST API calls to SAMI or set up WebSockets to receive data in real time.
It’s based on three big ideas critical to success in the cloud: users always own their own data, it’s a fully open ecosystem, and it’s data and device agnostic.
TechRepublic: What is Samsung’s goal with SAMI in IoT?
Dubreuil: Many developers are coming up with brilliant ideas for new devices that digitize our physical world and to capture existing or new signals that have never been available in digital form. But they carry the burden of always having to create new, complex back-end systems for receiving and processing device data from diverse sources.
Besides the time required to build the full stack from device to cloud to data services—and ensure privacy and security—too often, the end result is a device with its own proprietary cloud interfaces and siloed data.
And that is an IoT solution that has isolated itself from opportunities to correlate and fuse data with other IoT devices.
This, of course, defeats the benefits of IoT. For Samsung’s Strategy and Innovation Center, it’s the opportunity to join all of the data among IoT devices that has the highest upside for user value.

Burr Sutter: An Enterprise Developer's Journey to Internet-of-Things (IoT)

This article by Alok Batra started me thinking about the unique differences between the Enterprise vs Mobile vs IoT development spaces and my own personal journey down this path. I am sure my thinking will change as my IoT skills and knowledge mature - this is just a moment in time - but I thought writing it all down would be valuable.
