    *Market:
      *The ThingWorks server is targeting to be an addon to existing MES systems ( -> see[[mes.html|Manufacturing Execution Systems ( MES )]], in the means of "Brilliant Manufacturing" / "Industry 4.0" to enable a "Machine Visibility Application", not as replacement for existing MES systems. Sort of "MES Next Level" :-).
    *Implementation:
      *There is a commercial online service, with limited free account.
      *You can buy the software for installation in your own datacenter.
    *Technology:
      *Communications by Websockets.
      *Java application, to be deployed on a Apache Tomcat Server.
      *Database. Neo4J ist the default database and was the only one for longtime, but now other databases like Cassandra or Postgres are supported.
      *There is a Javascript engine with JS framework on eye-level with NodeJS installed on the server. You may write user-specific code to collect data, to generate reports by a database query. By user-defined Javascript scripts, the system may also do event handling. Some users agree that concerning this aspect, the system is similar to SalesForge.
    *Creation of a simple demo application.
      *Steps:
        *Define / select the "Properties".
        *Define the behaviour of your application by a "Service". You may create services by your own JS scripts.
        *Create an "Application", a dashboard ( a mashup of data visualisations on a canvas ).
     *A "Stream" is a time series of values, which can be handled by your own JS scripts. The report may be a table filled with data, with your "Properties" as table headers.
     *At [[http://marketplace.thingworx.com/|ThingWorx Marketplace]], there are offers
       *Templates
       *Constoum Graphic Controls, for the mashup.
    *Jobs: ThingWorx has an office in Ratingen, Germany, but no vacancies /  job openings are offered :-(.

    *[[http://www.2lemetry.com/works/|2lemetry "How It Works"]] - "2lemetry’s ThingFabric Platform has been architected to provide superior flexibility, performance and intelligence. Here’s how it works".
    *If you don´t operate your device in "smart mode" ( e.g. with code generated by the "Energia" software tool, or with the code of "Lab2" of the CC3200 workshop ), you have to specify the local Internet router!
    *"Lab2" of the CC3200 workshop:
      -SSID_NAME = "ssid_name".
      -SECURITY_TYPE = SL_SE_TYPE_WPA.
      -SECURITY_KEY = "password".
    *Energia:
      -#WIFI_SSID = "ssid_name".
      -#WIFI_PWD = "password".
    *Be shure to configure your access data in your local device software properly: 
      -TWOELEMENTRY_USERID = "Key (Username)"
      -TWOELEMENTRY_PASSWORD = "MD5 Secret" ( and not the "Secret (Password)" )!!
      -TWOELEMENTRY_DOMAIN_STUFF = "Project" ( a long string of letters and numbers ).

We have a growing number of ready-to-use Dōgus, e.g. SCM-Manager, Jenkins, Nexus, SonarQube, Redmine and many more. Every Dōgu can be tailored to your specific needs. You can even bring along your own Dōgus! Take advantage of a central authentication service, a dynamic navigation, that lets you easily switch between the web UIs and a smart configuration magic, which automatically detects and responds to dependencies between Dōgus".

    *There is a "Consumption Plan" option, with free 400.000 Gigabyte RAM * s / month.
    *Available programming languages for functions: C#, Python, Javascript & Node.js.
    *You may select Linux or Windows as cloud host.
  *Tips: 
    *You must save execution time ( AWS limit 5 min, Azure limit 10 min ). 
    *Your function must not wait for anything. Divide your function in atomic parts ( e.g. delegeate storage to other cloud services, like "Azure Storage" or "Table Storage" ).
    *Your functions must be triggered by (external) events. 
      *URL => HttpRequest with REST, e.g. by visit of a special website with a browser, by a user.
      *FaaD Timer.
    *Your functions must not pull data, as this causes permanent operation.
    *Output: E-Mail by SMTP server ( e.g. GMX.NET, Web.DE,.. )
    *Access by Internet browser or "Asure CLI".
