The Internet Of ...

For years now there is a discussion on the internet-of-things, autonomous and intelligent entities or virtual objects shall interoperate online, I say, speak over the web as we speak over the web. Alliances are built to promote the use of smart objects, like ipso .
Take weather forecast. At the moment the quality of the forecast on local weather is, among other criteria, dependent on the density of sensors with information on concrete model parameters. Provided each building, ... was equipped with a hundred sensors for local energy optimization, sensor output could be used for better forecast of the micro-weather and better forecast helps to get better energy optimization. Globalized, the internet-of-energy would be tied together with the internet-of-weather, ...
What about an internet-of-finance? interent-of-biology? internet-of-chemical-engineering, ....
You need an immense complex web of, massive data and computational knowledge, automated model and algorithm selection, map and reduce mechanisms, syntax unifiers, ...
Isn't Wolfram Alpha the platform we have waited for to exactly do this: create Internets-Of .. ?

p.s. I am biased, because with our work in quantitative finance, we see that UnRisk has the right solvers for valuating the most sophisticated deal types in portfolios over scenarios, but its correct results might get lost in the jungle of unreliable data and result aggregation.
