1st place of the Convergence Innovation Competition (CIC) 2011. Category: Cloud-2-Home

April 2011
The CIC (http://www.cic.gatech.edu) is a yearly innovation competition organized by the Georgia Institute of Technology and several industrial parners. The Cloud-2-Home category is sponsored by Hitachi and Cisco, and is focused on applications and services which connect devices within the home to cloud based services.
The objective of our project Voice2Home was to build a service platform based on the OSGI design pattern in order to provide next-generation home automation systems to the users. Our system relied on voice-triggered commands via a simple mobile phone to send commands remotely to the home ("Turn AC off", "Verify if iron off", ...).
Prize delivered by Hitachi's CTO.
