- 2) processors
- 3) actuators

Lots of use cases described, with associated abuse cases
Starting to include Scada

Irrigation and flood control
Limited ensuring data integrity - not always clear whose responsibility.
Dave Sanford - for any new use case, one or more new abuse cases.
Lots of discussion about gaming systems (e.g. fitbit users sending apparent physical exercise to health insurance company)
Who owns the data you collect?
Phil Windley - power of distributed systems to create robustness in book 'Honeybee Democracy' bee swarming and finding a new place - may be somewhat like 'unit of work' in bit coin.
Who is controlling your vehicle? Phil - V2V (vehicle to vehicle), collision avoidance systems for cars, may allow governmental entities (or hackers) to shutdown multiple cars at the same time.
Lots of discussion about security and usability.
Smart packaging - tell you what drugs to take.
Physical security devices - home surveillance cameras
Electric grid - security and liability
So issues raised include security, privacy, ownership and liability
Blue boxes that tell lights that emergency vehicle is coming through. Originally easy to clone and use.
Lots of talk about Arduino and approaches for IoT design.
Jeff will also send slides
