SAP to Apply Machine Learning to Concur, SuccessFactors

AT&T held its third annual IoT Civic Hackathon recently, bringing together some 600 developers, first responders and law enforcement personnel with the aim of developing applications for the FirstNet app ecosystem. FirstNet is the federal government's dedicated public safety network. Taking home the $2,000 first prize for "Best IoT App" was "DeafHack," a project that alerts those who are deaf and hard of hearing to emergencies by using a light pattern through Philips Hue Lights. Through Node-RED, on-the-clock weather updates are sent to the Hue lighting system to enable these features, according to a press release. Second place, and a $1,000 prize, went to ONSET (On Scene Equipment Tracking), which tracks equipment and consumables in EMT bags.
