Synaptic - Software for the Sensor Web

Discussion of the Real-Time-Web platform for sensor-centric Internet

Main topics
 * security and identification - compare to PKI infrastructure
 * information handling and scalability - compare to Ad-hoc routing: hierachical versus distributed knowledge
 * presentation focus - focus on "sensor-centric internet" - compare to data-centric Internet
 * "real time" - what does it mean
 * sensor communication - evaluation of battery lifetime and contact cycles
 * sensor virtualisation - semantic modelling of sensor environment (change of sensor data)

New thoughts
 * provide the virtual representation of the sensor with both a SynX and an http address to ease upgrade path
 * business: game industry and process industry are two clear candidates. Where does "real time" fit elsewhere? Is "real time" the only question?
