MTN is now called Blue Horizon.

MTN: analysis at the edge

This talk live: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_kTajbcAd9E

Project MTN is an IBM exploration of decentralised, autonomous edge computing.

A global network of raspberry pis is assembled to demonstrate blockchain-based negotiation between devices in the IoT, offering and contracting data streams to perform analysis close to the edge.

8. © 2015 IBM Corporation | 8 As  more  and  more  devices  around  us   become  connected  and  intelligent,   many  physical  products  as  we  know   them  will  be  transformed  into  digital   experiences.    
 
 Many  machines-­‐human  interactions   will  be  replaced  by  machine-­‐machine   (peer-­‐to-­‐peer  interactions).   MTN Motivation
9. © 2015 IBM Corporation | 9 Power in the IoT will shift from the center to the edge. ! As devices compete and trade autonomously in real-time, they
 will create liquid markets out of
 the digital marketplaces. ! Connectivity and intelligence will be a means to better products and experiences, not an end. A Device Democracy is emerging.
10. © 2015 IBM Corporation | p As devices become empowered to autonomously
    manage their roles and behavior, a democracy of devices will emerge. The blockchain, a universal digital ledger, facilitates transaction processing between devices. 10 Registration of new device Authentication of remote users Contract to barter power with other appliances Checklist for automobile safety

12. © 2015 IBM Corporation | Connecting hundreds of billions of devices
    is going to be expensive. 12 Cost of centralized infrastructure and server farms. Cost of supporting and maintaining hundreds of billions of devices. Mismatch between cost and revenues.

13. © 2015 IBM Corporation | The Internet is not a place of trust. 13 No trusted partners

14. © 2015 IBM Corporation | Smart devices need to be managed

15. © 2015 IBM Corporation | Simply enabling connectivity
    doesn’t necessarily make a product better. 15 Value proposition of many smart products is low. Many smart features are not worth the extra cost and complexity to users.

17. © 2015 IBM Corporation | Motivation
    Open access IoT networks, distributed cloud 17 • It  is  our  view  that  IoT  is  quickly  moving  to  a  data  and   machine  learning  driven  future  where  simple  convenience   (IoT  today)  will  be  replaced  with  a  transformative  experience   where  IoT  is  better  integrated  with  all  devices  and  our  lives.   • IoT  devices  should  be  able  to  communicate  and  coordinate   in  a  fully  autonomous  manner  while  being  constrained  by   policy,  policy  that  is  user  defined  and  tuned  by  machine   learning.   • Smart  Contracts  for  Device  Coordination   • Firmware  Updates   • Pub/Sub  Models
18. © 2015 IBM Corporation | Consumers buy solutions
    rather than networks or business models. 18 Make it better Networking and remote usage 
 will become secondary features. ! Tomorrow’s smart appliances will create value by applying intelligence and network connectivity to improve the CORE value proposition of the device. Better cooking Increased safety Improved reliability Greater fitness Less mess

    the IoT will evolve to be more open and decentralized

22. © 2015 IBM Corporation | 22 MTN Mission: Analytics at the Edge The  Edge  is  where  the  data  is  generated,  however
 
 ‘Analytics  at  the  Edge’   is  really   ‘as  close  to  the  Edge  as  possible  including  the  Edge’.
23. © 2015 IBM Corporation | 23 Massive Untapped Edge Data Need Analysis
 Data at the Edge 90% Volume of data created at the edge of IoT that is never captured, analyzed or acted upon. 60% Amount of that data that loses its value within milliseconds of being generated.
24. © 2015 IBM Corporation | 24 • Real-­‐time  processing  at  the  Edge   • Open,  multiparty,  autonomous  IoT  ecosystems   • The  behavior  of  decentralized  systems   • What  technical,  scalability,  stability,  security,  privacy,   economic,  and  social  problems  and  opportunities  can  be   identified?   • Containers  in  a  hostile  environment   • Better  quality  of  Experience?

 or real-time analysis => • policy or algorithm-based analysis and/or filtering
 has to be done at the edge. MTN Proof of Concept
