Instant messaging-based dialog system for device control in the internet of things Sistema de diálogo basado en mensajería instantánea para el control de dispositivos en el internet de las cosas

The im4Things project aims to develop a communication interface to devices on the Internet of the Things (IoT) through intelligent dialogue based on written natural language over instant messaging services. This communication can be established in different ways such as order sending, status querying and even the devices themselves are responsible for alert users when a change has been produced in the devices sensors. This project is being developed by Proasistech company in cooperation with the TECNOMOD research group of the University of Murcia and it has been funded by equity capital of Proasistech company and by an R&D&i technology consulting contract with the aforementioned University of Murcia research group.
