IBM and its clients are ushering in a new cognitive era. IBM Watson IoT extends the power of cognitive computing to the billions of connected devices, sensors and systems that comprise the IoT. Why? Because IoT is testing the limits of programmable computing, and Cognitive IoT is how we will overcome those limits. It is how we will accomplish the transformational outcomes we know are both possible and necessary—from operational efficiency to customer experience to industry disruption. > > IBM Opens Watson IoT Global Headquarters, Extends Power of Cognitive Computing to a Connected World * [IBM Internet of Things](http://www.ibm.com/internet-of-things/) * [IBM Internet of Things News](http://www.ibm.com/internet-of-things/internet-of-things-news.html) * [IBM Internet of Things ARM mbed IoT Starter Kit on IBM's Bluemix cloud platform](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lF4iuaMkSKQ) ### News * [IBM Watson IoT and AT\&T To Power Innovation with Integrated Capabilities](https://developer.ibm.com/iotplatform/2016/07/13/watson-iot-and-att/) * [New IoT for Automotive service from IBM Watson IoT](https://developer.ibm.com/bluemix/2016/06/23/new-iot-for-automotive-service/?utm_source=twitterfeed\&utm_medium=twitter) * [Creating Apps with a Global Reach](https://developer.ibm.com/open/2016/06/24/creating-apps-with-a-global-reach/) * [IBM and AT\&T are cozying up to IoT developers](http://www.pcworld.idg.com.au/article/603404/ibm-t-cozying-up-iot-developers/?__prclt=l5L91BiR) * [Macy's Pilots IBM's Watson In Partnership With Satisfi For In-Store, Personalized Shopping Companion](http://www-03.ibm.com/press/us/en/pressrelease/50212.wss) **BlueMix** > Build and run your apps with the IBM Bluemix hybrid cloud development platform to access a catalog of services and APIs from IBM, third-parties, and ... > > Bluemix is an implementation of IBM’s Open Cloud Architecture, leveraging Cloud Foundry to enable developers to rapidly build, deploy, and manage their cloud applications, while tapping a growing ecosystem of available services and runtime frameworks. IBM will provide services and runtimes into the ecosystem based on our extensive software portfolio. * [IBM BlueMix](http://www.ibm.com/cloud-computing/bluemix/) * [IBM Bluemix Console](https://console.ng.bluemix.net/) * [IBM Bluemix Edison](https://developer.ibm.com/recipes/tutorials/intel-edison/) ## Watson Internet of Things > Watson IoT is a set of capabilities that learn from, and infuse intelligence into, the physical world. The Internet of Things-generated data is growing twice as fast as social and computer-generated data, and it is extremely varied, noisy, time-sensitive and often confidential. Complexity grows as billions of devices interact in a moving world. This presents a growing challenge that will test the limits of programmable computing. Cognitive IoT is our best opportunity to fully exploit this resource. > > Cognitive IoT is not explicitly programmed. It learns from experiences with the environment and interactions with people. It brings true machine learning to systems and processes so they can understand your goals, then integrate and analyze the relevant data to help you achieve them. * [Watson Internet of Things](http://www.ibm.com/internet-of-things/internet-of-things-news.html) * [IBM Watson IoT](http://www.ibm.com/internet-of-things/images/watson-iot-point-of-view.pdf) ## Node-RED > A visual tool for wiring the Internet of Things. Internet of Things solutions often require pulling together hardware devices, APIs and online services in new and interesting ways. Time spent writing the boilerplate code to talk to these different systems, such as accessing a Serial port or complete an OAuth flow against Twitter, is not time spent on creating the real value of the solution. > > We need tools that make it easier for developers at all levels to bring together the different streams of events, both physical and digital, that make up the Internet of Things. * [Node-RED Homepage](http://nodered.org/?cm_mc_uid=64673275200314509946717\&cm_mc_sid_50200000=1451095649) * [Node-RED Press](https://www-304.ibm.com/connections/blogs/et/entry/node-red?lang=en_us) ## Ethernet IoT Starter Kit > This starter Kit for IBM IoT Foundation provides the user with a slick experience, getting data from the on board sensors into the IBM cloud within minutes of opening the box. It is particularly suitable for developers with no specific experience in embedded or web development, as it provides a platform for learning new concepts and creating working prototypes.
