Automated Decision Making With No Or Limited Manual...

Introduction: Automated Decision making with no or limited manual intervention is a part of our daily lives, be it at an entrance or exit, or car ignition, home or building management system or a more complex industrial process management system. Decision making can range between centralized decentralized modes with various shades in between. With the increasing penetration acceptance of IoT devices, the data traffic around or through these systems in on the rise, but can this instead be used in a dynamic manner for efficient, decentralized decision making management? This white paper is about exploring these possibilities. What is Dynamic Decision making? It refers to a paradigm described as, interdependent decision-making that†¦show more content†¦In cases of typical hall way cameras, without dynamic decision making in place, often these high end cameras are reduced to the likes of handheld ‘point and shoot’ cameras. With dynamic decision making, these PTZ cameras can be employed to capture the relevant motion video of moving objects and can be tagged for further analysis. Need for decentralization of Dynamic decision making? With the increasing penetration of distributed intelligence, the ability to decentralize decision making is on the rise. There are environment aware devices everywhere now, from the crude silica gel based humidity indicators to multi-sensor based headcount indicator. Decentralization of dynamic decision making requires additional data points or sources to increase the confidence levels in these decisions taken. What is Internet of Things (IoT)? Internet of Things (IoT) is a network of physical objects or things embedded with electronics, software, sensors, and network connectivity, which enables these objects to collect and exchange data . According to Gartner, Inc. (a technology research and advisory corporation), there will be nearly 26 billion devices on the Internet of Things by 2020 . ABI Research estimates that more than 30 billion devices will be wirelessly connected to the Internet of Things by 2020 . As per a recent survey and study done by Pew Research Internet Project, a large majority of the technology
