Today's workshop consists in learning part of IBM's blue mix service. Blue mix is a new cloud service the IBM are now offering.It allows users to create , edit and deploy different web applications or apps such as node red and use the Watson services via the cloud. Which means your not tied down to using 1 machine.(Tomala-Reyes, 2015)
We learnt how to use there node red cloud application , and it offered us some more features then standard not red but also lost a few features as well.. The cloud virsion of node red seams like a good idea , it will allow node red code to always be running as it's stored on the cloud. The down side is anyone with your node red link would be able to edit it.
We spent the workshop trying out the features of Watson, "IBM Watson is a technology platform that uses natural language processing and machine learning to reveal insights from large amounts of unstructured data" (IBM, 2015). Within node red we have access to Watson medical journal, and in doing so we are able to ask a medical question and get a response. Currently this part of blue mix is still learning how people right questions and which answers are most appropriate. Once you get an answer we are able to rate it allowing Watson to learn if its answers are correct which increases the rate in which Watson is confident in its answer.
The point of using this service is to help build the intelligence to our systems.After seeing what it can do i will be using the node red part of blue mix, to control and be the brain of all of the device involved. A problem is because its cloud based they have removed the file part of node red. I am now working with global variables to create a solution to this small problem.
