AllSeen Alliance

Microsoft joins the AllSeen Alliance, a group dedicated to building an open-source framework connecting things like cars, homes, and mobile devices from any manufacturer. Liat Ben-Zur, chairman of the AllSeen Alliancee, says in a press release:

No single company can accomplish the level of interoperability required to support the Internet of Everything in everyday, real-life scenarios. Microsoft’s strong presence in the home via computers, tablets, phones, gaming platforms and their strength in the consumer, enterprise, education, industrial automotive sectors, uniquely enables them to accelerate the adoption of the AllSeen Alliance’s AllJoyn open source code across a very wide swath of products and verticals.
