Dr. Mazlan Abbas from MIMOS Berhad gave a talk on the Internet of Things. The talk provided an overview of the term Internet of Things and the underlying technologies. It defined the Internet of Things as connecting physical devices to the internet and allowing them to generate, exchange and consume data. The talk referenced an infographic from Postscapes for additional information and provided Dr. Abbas' contact details for further discussion.
This document discusses standards for the Internet of Things (IoT). It makes three key points:
1. Achieving interoperability across different industry sectors and standards bodies will be challenging due to competing business interests but is crucial for IoT success.
2. Testbeds that allow for plug-and-play testing of components from different vendors can help advance interoperability and assess new business models.
3. Viewing testbeds as a service could help recoup the large investments required and facilitate collaboration across organizations.
The document discusses the Internet of Things (IoT). It defines IoT as the concept of connecting physical objects to the internet and being able to identify, sense and communicate with those objects. It describes how IoT allows both people and devices to communicate with each other and exchange data. Some key applications of IoT mentioned are smart homes, smart cities, industrial automation, logistics and supply chain management. The document also outlines several challenges to the large-scale implementation of IoT such as issues relating to privacy, security, standardization, and developing energy sources for billions of connected devices.
Here is a draft conversation showing a transition point and a powerful participant doing topic management:
A: So have you finished that assignment yet?
B: Not quite, I'm still working on the conclusion. [Transition point]
Trump: Actually I wanted to get your thoughts on the new policy proposals. As you know, I'm pushing hard to get them passed. What do you make of the plans to build the wall?
A: Well, the wall idea seems quite controversial...[resumes conversation on new topic introduced by powerful participant Trump]
This document discusses signs, semiotics, and how filmmakers use codes and conventions to create meaning. It explains that a syntogram is a series of signs put together in a specific order, like words in a sentence or shots in a film. Denotation is the dictionary definition of a sign, while connotation involves cultural implications. Signs rely on social agreement about what they represent. The triangle of dependency illustrates how the audience, director, and text influence each other to create effective meaning. The document prompts writing the notes in your own words, explaining why genres have conventions, listing action film conventions, and describing how a film idea fits those conventions.
This document outlines techniques for research skills and different levels of research ability. It discusses how higher grades are able to research more independently and apply findings. It then describes a range of research abilities from limited to excellent, providing examples. It also discusses how to effectively conduct research by reading, taking notes, thinking, and applying knowledge. Finally, it briefly touches on how new technologies can impact filmmaking practices through co-option, translation, or localization of those practices.
The document instructs students to get out their timelines, discuss key events with a partner in 2 minutes, and then answer questions about which event is most important and why.
The document analyzes several film posters and summarizes their key elements:
1) The first poster for "500 Days of Summer" uses a blue and yellow color scheme to represent the themes of summer. It features 500 photographs of the character Summer against a background resembling the sky and sun.
2) The second poster for "Twilight" uses dark colors to convey mystery and fear. The positioning of the characters makes her appear innocent and dependent on him for protection.
3) The third poster shows an unusual positioning of characters, signifying a sci-fi genre. The engagement ring and two-shot focus on the romantic storyline.
4) The fourth poster for a romantic comedy uses red and black
The document discusses signs, semiotics, and codes in film. It explains that codes are conventions that put signs together to create meaning. Films use syntograms, which are ordered series of signs that convey meaning. Signs have denotation, or dictionary definitions, and connotation, or implied cultural meanings. The relationship between a signifier and its signified is explained using the example of the word "tree." The document notes that genres like action films have expected conventions, and completing the assigned work would involve identifying these conventions.
The document provides instructions for a memory exercise involving memorizing keywords in 20 seconds and then writing them down from memory in 1 minute. It lists keywords related to the music industry, including synergy, production, internet, distribution, mp3, advertising, label, peer to peer, consumption, ownership, marketing, copyright, download, artist, technological advance, music industry, convergence, radio, mini disk, big four, Leona Lewis, Enter Shikari, and iPad. It also provides discussion questions about big record labels compared to smaller independent labels.
Technological advances have changed the music industry. Production, distribution, marketing, and exchange of music have been impacted. The document asks students to collaborate on a document discussing recent technological advances, using the iPad case study as an example to answer an exam question about how media products are produced and distributed to different audiences.
This document discusses several topics related to how technologies and industry changes have impacted the music industry and consumer behavior, including how copyright affects consumers, how new music is discovered, how technologies have changed music access, and the role of convergence and synergy in music production, distribution, and marketing. It also mentions specific music artists, technologies, and industry entities like labels.
