One major goal of the Internet of Things and Services (IoT) is the connection and interaction of systems and things. Formerly, most of those things were offline and not able to play a role in a networked world.

I have continued my interview series with James Taylor, Decision Management Expert. This time we´ve talked about dynamic and event-driven applications and why those kinds of applications need business rules and need those rules to be managed effectively.

I have talked to James Taylor, Decision Management Expert about the Internet of Things and the role of business rules in this distributed and connected world.

Personally, I found two aspects especially interesting to hear from James:

Enjoy listening!

In my very own opinion this conjunction added a lot of value to the event itself Read more…

As architect, I´ve been joining bosch Software Innovations right at the start of the company.
