Internet of Services + Internet of Things? Internet of Objects!
Let us see where we can go if we want to merge Internet of Things and Internet of Services. Let us be bolder than the current trend of exposing sensors and applications as services.

Timeless Software: Part 2
The need for maximum efficiency and flexibility of expression in content creation has led to a proliferation of programming languages. The resulting heterogeneous language landscapes present challenges to optimize execution at run-time. Run-time efficiencies can be achieved by separating meaning from optimization and managing state across layers of abstraction. Finally, maintaining security and reliability in the face of constant change and adaptation requires a powerful and flexible lifecycle management system.

An introduction to Scala, part 1
Scala is a language which compiles to Java bytecode and combines functional and object-oriented programming styles. It fixes some of the commonly-perceived problems with Java, giving much of the flexibility of a scripting language, but with the safety of static typing and the performance of a compiled language.
