fyi, Clarke posted this to the public-sensorweb list [1] ; I think this should be of interest to DAP members if you haven't seen it regards, Frederick Frederick Hirsch Nokia [1] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-sensorweb/2013Oct/ Begin forwarded message: > Resent-From: <public-sensorweb@w3.org> > From: ext Clarke Stevens <C.Stevens@CableLabs.com> > Date: October 11, 2013 11:23:13 AM EDT > To: Coralie Mercier <coralie@w3.org>, "public-sensorweb@w3.org" <public-sensorweb@w3.org> > Subject: Re: ParisWeb2013 presentation: Designing with Sensors: Creating Adaptive Experiences, by Avi Itzkovitch [via Web of Sensors Community Group] > > After reading this post, I think I have something that may be of general > interest to the group. > > Just a couple of weeks ago, UPnP Forum gave final approval status to the > SensorManagement device control protocol (DCP).
