Over the past 20 years, the web has transformed from a tool for the scientists at CERN to an information access centre for the world to a platform where people can get things done. Web 2.0 is this transition from the web being a static information access point to a dynamic, customizable and social platform. IIL contributes to this transformation of the web. We are currently working on one extension of Web 2.0, viz. Travel 2.0 where we aim at building technological revolutions in the travel industry. Travel 2.0 is all about “empowering” the user and enabling them to share information online that can be accessed by other travellers. We take the information to the traveller, rather than them searching for it.

Embedded Internet Framework for M2MC

In order to interface embedded devices like sensors nodes with the collective intelligence platform we have spawned a new project that aims at implementing the IPV6 stack with algorithms like 6LOWPAN (to optimize the lifespan of these embedded devices). The devices will run a RESTFUL server which shall allow the collective intelligence platform to request for sensor data on-demand.
