IBM Happenings

Many companies slow down during the late summer and take a while to get back in high gear in September. Based on the announcements from IBM, it did not seem that the company took much of a breather. Here are the announcements from IBM since early August. The complete index of prior IBM Happenings is here.

Starting with this posting of "IBM Happenings", I will do the postings monthly. I may highlight a couple of the announcements that I personally found quite interesting. Out of the current couple of dozen announcements the ones about voice recognition, RFID, and speech enablement of Apache are quite leading edge. These projects show where the future is going to be -- and already unfolding.

IBM delivers in-car speech recognition - Working with Honda Motor Company, the two have jointly developed an in-vehicle speech-recognition system using IBM's Embedded ViaVoice software.

IBM expands RFID offerings - A broad suite of services has been announced to to speed the benefits of RFID systems to industrial companies and mid-market businesses. RFID is going to be part of our everyday life very soon.

IBM to contribute speech software to Apache - Sounds boring, but contributing Reusable Dialog Components to Apache Software Foundation and proposing a project at Eclipse to donate markup editors for speech standards will accelerate making the Web something we can talk to and listen to.
